    The last two weeks of South Park, that is. Seriously, WTF? Funny? Sure. But what was the point?

    What was the point of the real hamsters? I didn't get it. I guess it was kind of a parody of that JJ Abrams monster movie.

    I thought that the point of South Park was that it didn't have a point?

    It was interesting. I didn't too much like the ending but with the way the movie was shot, it was pretty understandable.

    For me, what made the two episodes worth it was Clyde consistantly breaking the fourth wall and mentioning how absurd the situations the boys get themselves into.

    The rest of it, especially the Cloverfield parody, was pretty awful. Kind of like Cloverfield.

    My expectations were as low as they could possibly be. Maybe that's how I was so pleasantly surprised.

    Cloverfield made me physically ill attempting to watch it, which is why I've never bought the DVD. It should have also been rated R. Dumbing the carnage down to get the PG-13 really hurt the film.
