WOOT! About 2 more weeks until 1-18-08, when the infamously advertised Cloverfield movie comes out! Sounds like it's going to be awesome! And I'm excited that America's getting its own Kaiju. One that's not cute and cuddly like King Kong. So, any speculations on the monster? Anyone else as pumped as I am? Share!

I seen the trailer at the movies recently when i seen I Am Legend. It looks like... Blair Witch in NYC XD; What the hell is it about? Or is it supposed to be this mysterious?

[Kato]

JJ Abrams has made a Giant Monster for America. Sort of like how Japan has Godzilla. I don't know the name of the monster yet, but I've spent many hours researching it. Apparantly the Tagruato company has been tampering with deep sea bacteria and using its properties to saturate a drink called 'Slusho' with it. Incidentally this also is connected to some kind of whale creature that a deep-sea drilling rig has discovered and antagonized. I'm guessing that an eco-terrorist group called TIDO is somehow going to be responsible for the company losing control over the creature, and its going to pop up in New York and be very unhappy.

Can the monster go and kill the commercials for this freakin' movie

every other second on the teevee it's Cloverfield, Cloverfield, and some movie called Cloverfield

Thoery - It's a newly revived Stay Puft the Marshmallow Man!

[Kato]

They spent so much time NOT advertising the movie, now that it's released they gotta make up for it. XD

[NeoKairi]

I actually plan on seeing this either this afternoon or on Monday.

This movie was amazing. If you haven't seen it yet, go see it RIGHT NOW!

Yeah, definitely. Though somehow that part shocked me.

I should have known that was going to happen with the foreshadowing and all right before it.... XD

(I recommend seeing this movie or spoiling it beforehand so you can read the good stuff that covers like half this post.)

Hmm. I won't say it was bad, but it certainly wasn't that great either. The whole handi-cam thing gave me mild motion sickness

Spoiler

and like most major action films once again character development doesn't mean sh!t since almost everyone dies at the end.

There were some excellent scenes and the scale of the movie was certainly epic. Long story short it's the highest-budget handi-cam movie ever with some low-budget writing.

All I know is that (at least at my movie theater) they picked one hell of a movie to show a preview for

And yes. Exploding peoples made me laugh a lot. Although that's a total rip-off of Alien.

And one more spoiler tag just for the lulz. Yes, I said lulz.

[Kato]

It wasn't a ripoff of alien in the least. The

Exploding People.

have a factual science to them.

Upon being bitten, their bodies are injected with a strain of gas-producing yeast-like bacteria. It infects the internal organs by way of the blood stream. The bacteria then causes the victim to inflate internally, and then eventually they combust.

The as-of-yet unnamed monster....is a BABY. This is confirmed by the director. Due to deep sea human activity from the Tagruato Corporation, the monster's habitat was disturbed, and the beast was scared away from its family units. Now it's basically just lost, alone, hungry and terrified in NYC, with the US army shooting at it.

Hasbro will be releasing a 14" toy of the beast....I plan to acquire one, regardless of its very high price.

[iNSOMNiAC]

A toy? GOODY!

I love Clovey(my nickname XP)) to bits. Such a neat design. :>

Spoiler

Since Clovey's just a youngster, do you think there will be a follow-up movie involving...Mommy? D: Jesus.

Best movie I've seen in a while. <3

All of you:

GO SEE IT.

NAO.

[Kato]

Yeah. I've heard talk about a sequel. But from what I hear, they're thinking about the same attack only from a different POV. I personally would like an aftermath movie detailing the reprecussions of Cloverfield, leading to an encounter with a more mature creature of the species.

Me and Vert were actually thinking about that sort of sequel, though I like your idea a lot better.
