Oh hi,
This week on FilmSack, we have a big city Kaiju question that can only be answered in the found footage of a group of twenty-somethings trying to bone. So throw down some motion sickness pills because we about to CLOVERFIELD our lunch all over this 2008 SCI-FI Thriller rebuffing all of our advances with its resting Mean Girl Marlena Face until we wear her down with our incessant chattering! ….annnnnd she dead… lucky. Hey, I wonder what lady liberty’s head is doing after this.
Anywho, Sir, Sir Reporting for Duty Sir… we found this footage under some rubble after the giant monster attack in New York City that ended in Central Park. It was on this camera that I had to pry from the cold dead hands of a horny 20 something who was so impacted by a single sexual encounter that he just had to hit that again… even if it meant trekking across town during a giant monster attack and losing his brother, his friends and one drunk acquaintance he only met a few times. Long story short… he did indeed… NOT…. get to hit it again. Me and the boys cried. Also, some giant monster stuff on here for the DOD.
Randy, Hud is not short for Hudson. Randy. No. You are bad at nicknames. Stop it.
