Shaky movie (the camera) is making ppl sick according to CNN.com. CLOVERFIELD is causing ppl to leave the theater with motion sickness. I heard ppl utter such comments when they left the theater. They hated the wobbling camera affect.

I had the same feeling when I watched the Woody Allen film HUSBANDS AND WIVES. I think there was some symbolism that their relationship were "rocky" and hence the camera was all over the place. Couldn't wait for the film to be over with.

The shaky camera, and it really is shaky, didn't bother me at all, so I guess I'm not susceptible to vertigo. My sister, however, is the opposite, she has to sit in the very last (top) row of the theatre for ANY movie, otherwise she starts feeling sick. Meanwhile, I like to sit way in the front so that the screen takes over my whole field of vision, we're not exactly the best movie partners...

The only movie that ever made me sick was Koyaanisqatsi, which came out in 1982. I think it was the combination of the way it was filmed and the music. I have never had motion sickness before in my life, but I was sick at the end of this!

I got halfway thru a Heath Ledger film last night called "A Knight's Tale." Has anybody ever seen this film. I usually love these medieval stories, but I don't know what sort of audience this film was was shooting for. They had contemporary rock music from QUEEN I believe during the jousting segments. I preferred the use of Wagner's scores in EXCALIBUR (1981). Now that was rousing...

Of course, I did enjoy seeing Heath in "A Knight's Tale." He's good at everything I've seen him in. He had the "gift." I'll have to finish watching the movie.

Actually, I saw "A Knight's Tale" in the theater and enjoyed it very much. The modern music was the whole spin of that movie--that, and the fact that Shannon Sossamyn's costumes were a blend of old fashioned and modern. We own the DVD.
But I know there are plenty of folks who hate the movie, precisely because of the music.
