LOL! it's like you are reading my mind with this here!
I also found myself thinking, "the chatty teenagers beside me are getting much more out of this than I am."
I also thought "ahaha, they are in front of a cosmetics retailer, and shit, wouldn't I hate to be caught running from my doom in 3" heels like Lily?"

Your coworker is not too old. There is no such thing. You can tell her I said so.
'The idea of living an un-YouTube-worthy life is a the real underlying fear.'
I hope every single second of my existence to live an un-YouTube-worthy life. It's a goal for me.
So far, so good.

No such thing as too old.
One love to your formerly buzznetting co-worker. I hope she doesn't let the bastards keep her down.
I love the way you picked this movie apart.

What the fuck? Too old?
My problem with Cloverfield, with repeated viewings, was that I felt that fake, uninteresting Brooklyn hipster wasn't exploited enough. I have a feeling Drew Goddard chose that group for people like you and I who could never possibly relate to the plastic perfection of indie-parties blasting the Gorillaz and New Order. He then takes a group of people who so often are far away from trauma and pain and tears them apart. The film was originally a hard-R, but Paramount, in their "commitment to artistic purity," forced the film down to a PG-13 in editing. Obviously to make money.
Your view is pretty spot on. Maybe I'm older than most of the people who love the movie, but I still feel 12 in my head most of the time. I love a good monster flick.

Holy shit!!! That was the best bit of writing I've run into in a while.
You had me at "The heart of Cloverfield"...
