i got as far as them making my email pop up, then it crashed my windows.

[ReBurn]

I didn't even wait for the inital flash animation to complete.

[Beefy]

Do a Google search.  There's a few blogs out there, including one I linked to in the Transformers thread, that take you through the levels and tell you everything that is to be found within.

There's still a lot of uncertainty on how much of this is truly applicable to the film, but that site is why people are thinking the film will have ties to the Cthulhu mythos.

[ReBurn]

I'm, like, your best dude.

There's two pictures up now, and they move.

Per Abrams, the Ethan Haas sites have nothing to do with 1-18-08, but there are other sites out there to be found.

Go get 'em, eo!

[eo000]

per the sci-fi interview

For what it's worth, the only site of ours that people have even FOUND is the 1-18-08.com site

maybe they haven't released the rest to the public.

The poster is accurate, the title was PSed on there.  It's not Monstrous after all.

No title yet.  All we have is the poster.  Also confirmed it is not Voltron and is not something called "the parasite".  Greg Grunberg is definitely in it, though.

Monstrous...
Barbarous...

I wish someone would make a serious effort to write a Lovecraft screenplay.

The first full trailer hits in front of Beowulf in a few weeks.  Here's what's in it, including the actual title of the film if you want it spoiled for you.

I saw that trailer last night.  It doesn't look like something I want to see, but Ursus is kinda jazzed about it.

Here it is in glorious High Def.

Dear god. Some people need to be smacked.

[Jessie]

That is one of the dumber things I've seen lately.

[Alice]

Wow, I had no idea that Al-Qaeda decapitated the Statue of Liberty.  I guess I was just focused on the Twin Towers.

[Jessie]

I didn't know they were giant, secretive monsters.

[VikingJuice]

Sooo.....Cloverfield = Al Queda?  That's where these idiots are going eh?  FUckTards!!

[Jessie]

That's kind of awesome, isn't it.

[Beefy]

Longest.  Two weeks.  Ever.

And you just know it's going to end up sucking.  It'll all be a great ad campaign in support of a subpar movie.  Regardless, they've got their hooks in me and my eight bucks.  They win.

[Beefy]

One possibility...

[Jessie]

That's not very scary looking.

Note: doubt if above image is accurate, but it could be since I don't know of its origins.  Clicking could conceivably be a spoiler.  Someone threw it up in the TF thread.

TF only, sorry!

[Beefy]

This just in: stay through credits if you go.

[VikingJuice]

Turned out to be a better film that I'd anticipated.  I really enjoyed it.  Lot's of intense action, good suspense, a little farcical here and there but not too bad.  Pays homage to a lot of films that have come before it.

Warning: if you are prone to motion sickness or epileptic seizures, proceed with caution. 

Worth a full price ticket


My movie rating scale should be noted:
Full price=very strong/entertaining film
Matinee=pretty good, minor issues
Wait for DVD=not that great, you'll feel like you've wasted money at the theatre
Wait for Cable=only watch if there's nothing else on your TV

I may sneak out of work for a couple of hours next week to see this.

Wow.  That's taking pulling a Jessie to a whole new level.

I guess that's what I get for trying to use the show latest posts page instead of just going to the thread.

The last shot of them at Coney Island at the end of the film, with them facing the camera and the ocean behind them, part of a satellite falls into the water behind them.  I missed it but my little brother caught it.  Since been verified by others on TF.  Also, couldn't quite make out what the audio at the end was, but wikipedia earlier listed it as "it's still alive" backwards.

I didn't notice that at all. It would have been cool to see, but i don't think seeing it again in the theater would be all that much fun.  I stayed through the credits, heard the audio, and had no idea what was said.

I may see it again, just because my attention was on the petrified 13 year old next to me for at least half the running time, which sucked me out of the movie more than once.

I read an article yesterday about possible sequals. One being someone else's home video events of the night. I think I'd dig that.

I'm pretty sure being sucked by a 13 year old is illegal, even in Texas.

i don't get motion sickness when i can feel my own sense of balance, but damn the shakycam shit was making me ill.

Me and the wife went to see it. It was pretty intense.

I can't believe we stayed through what seemed like 15 minutes of credits for the closer.

WOW LATE 20S MANHATTANITES ARE SO COOL EVEN WHEN THEY GET EATEN


also, I liked how the Army had the Starship Troopers tactic of run up and shoot small arms in the face of a giant monster.  I don't think you need to be an expert to realize the military has precision cruise missiles that can be launched from hundreds of miles away. 

I also found it odd that the escape helicopter was flying along with the monster.  Why didn't they fly in the opposite direction? 

I liked the tension, and I understand a suspension of disbelief when watching a monster movie, but this was too much.

Valid points.  It would be hard to develop a sequel of sorts that anyone would care about.  This is kind of a one trick pony situation.
