[QUOTE=gatorman] quick question: how do I search previous threads for info/discussion about this movie here on the dope? [/QUOTE] You’re a paid member? Go up to the blue bar just above the thread, below “Cafe Society”, and click on Search–then type in ‘cloverfield’ into the pop-up box. (It takes a couple of minutes to load, though, so be patient.) ---
