Cloverfield was excellent.
I quite liked Super 8 as well.

I liked cloverfield because all the annoying characters were dead at the end

The big joy with JJ Abrams films is the hidden bits and pieces.
There are squillions of self-referential things that you don't pick up on the first viewing. Cloverfield is full of them.
And in Lost, almost every flashback scene has some kind of reference to the six numbers, or another character, or something about the island.

that's what I want from what I watch
A complete lack of plot, shit unlikeable charcters and plenty of unconnected shit in the background

You can equate with the people who study literature in depth.
At first read, it's a story - good, bad or indifferent.
To an English Lit graduate, it's an insightful allegory with hidden motifs and repeating themes.

You get what you want out of entertainment.

I want tv and films that grab me by the throat, punch me in the face and shit down my throat
That's why I really loved Kindergarten Cop

I love that bit where Arnie says "Who is your daddy and what is his job"
