The brilliance of their innovation is that they breath new life into the natural forces of storytelling drama innate and inherent in any good yarn. This was Aristotle, right; you can't neglect the rules of drama. But you can reinvent them constantly, as did Abrams.

There was a big hype about it but that was a really terrible movie. From the picture, Cloverfield looks disturbing.Is it like The Blair Witch Project?

Your face scares the hell out of me 2. Your mama scares the hell out of everyone I tried to post and I don’t think it worked so I’m doing it again, but seething at the effort this is taking me for two simple points:

1. Your face scares the hell out of me
2. Your mama scares the hell out of everyone

Gotta keep it relevant. See, now I thought Blair Witch was actually a nice little twist on Greek drama, or at least that’s what I told my tenth graders when it came out and we were studying Antigone.
