Cloverfield is making people puke

Thousands of Southern Californians were no doubt clutching their seats while watching "Cloverfield," last weekend's No. 1 movie at the box office. At least a few of them were clutching their stomachs as well...

Erika Hasegawa, 32, was watching "Cloverfield" at a theater in Alhambra on Tuesday night but had to leave in the middle of the film.

"I'm really nauseous right now -- just hold on for a second," she said, before walking down the hall and retching into a trash can.

"I wish I could get my money back," she said.

You know what, sweetie? You probably could have gotten your money back if you hadn't just horked up your Raisinets in front of a reporter for the LA Times.

Anyway, it's not just us, Kamal. Cloverfield: Two voms up!

I saw it last night, and I had no problem with it. My friend had the motion sickness problem, but he told me afterward that he gets nauseated by first person shooter games.

By the way, I thought it was a pretty good flick. I was just disappointed that the bad guy wasn't Cthulhu. That would have been fun.

I edited a news package on this last night. The producer had to have an intern watch the footage to pick out suggested footage, because it made her sick. She went home early.
