With the movie coming out this week, there's already been advance showings and some folks have drawn the monster and its spawn.   | ||

monster and its spawn  | ||

Ever since the first preview I've been following it closely and I'm pretty anxious to see the movie. | ||

The "First Twins" seem like way more fun than Chelsea. they took after their dad, she got her moms looks and lack of personality. here's where the party's at...   | ||

Ignoring the political screed for the moment, I'm also looking forward to the movie. Just haven't decided if I want to see it opening night, or will wait till the rush has died down a bit. I've seen SOOOO many "leaked pictures" of the monster that I doubt anything I see till I actually see the movie itself. Still, that thing on top is credible because if you watch the "glimpse" of the monster you see in the official trailer it does appear to have a "vestigial leg" hanging at about mid-body. Geez, what the heck is it supposed to be? Certainly not based on any known life form on Earth. The bottom critter is supposed to be one of the parasites the critter on top scrapes off its body as it brushes against the buildings in Manhattan. They're supposedly the size of large dogs. | ||

The top picture looks like the monster has those 18 wheeler bull balls hanging off its cheeks. Maybe it's a mutated "lot lizard" that was hanging around the spent fuel rod disposal routes a little too long. If the second one is a parasite, I guess it could be mutated crabs from said "lot lizard". They do tend to "fall off" when the beast "rubs up against things".

From the various postings I've seen at http://www.cloverfieldclues.com this is what I surmise: 1) Slusho is a very tasty, somewhat addictive "Slurpee" style drink from Japan. It's secret ingredient is something they call "Seabed Nectar." No one knows what this is, but it seems to promote cell growth, heightened awareness, increased strength and improved senses. 2) Slusho is owned by Tagruato, a company specializing in deep sea drilling (mostly for petroleum exploration). Tagruato is targeted by an environmental group, TIDOWave, for being ecologically irresponsible. 3) Chuai Station, a deep sea drilling rig off the coast of North America, is not positioned over any known petroleum deposits. 4) On December 27th, video footage released on the net revealed the Chuai Station was mysteriously attacked and sunk. Tagruato at first denied anything happened, and then acknowledged there was a problem and blamed TIDOWave. 5) TIDOWave proclaims innocence, and no one has yet explained why debris from the wreckage was somehow vertically ejected straight up out of the water. There was no explosion, only some kind of unidentified roaring sound. For details, visit the Cloverfield Clues page, but be prepared to spend a LOT of time there getting caught up. | ||

This is a camera phone shot of the monster (supposedly)...hard to see any detail.  see more threads on it here: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/forumdisplay.php?f=101185328 | ||

*sigh, i'm betting this is one of those movies where the best part is the trailer. like, Fantastic4, Transformers & the like. bah | ||

new, this one some guy did last night  | ||
| Lost_in_ohio |
Now now I enjoyed transformers....although I could have done without the parents and the love story. That is a neat monster, interest me enough to go see it. | ||

The monster officially has no name. I understand the actors called it "Clover" but my favorite name is one given it by people on the internet: "MGP." | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Fantastic 4 blew donkey. Even Jessica Alba was unappealing. I wanna go see it simply because it looks different in its style. Like having sea bass grilled over the burning corpses of tree gnomes. You've had sea bass before, but not cooked like that. | ||

The people worried about plot and character development forget this one thing.... it's a FRIGGIN'MONSTER MOVIE! The premise is simple and can be described in 6 words...party, BOOM, monster, scream, run away! I love popcorn movies for that specific reason. Keep it simple, blow shit up, and forget about reality for 90 minutes. I personally can't wait to see it in a full theater this weekend. | ||

So you're saying, don't be disappointed if it doesn't get "Best Picture" at the Sundance Awards, right? | ||

Jeremy- reference a good sci-fi novel by Orson Scott Card. Can't remember the title, but really good sci-fi shiznit. By a Mormon raised author no less. The earlier works by Card are good too. | ||

Anyone remember Infra-Man? Some japanese flick I saw when I was 5-6 years old. Dude had cyborg parts grafted to his body, allowing him to grow and fight skeery monsters and such. My very first sci-fi film. | ||

You mean ULTRAMAN!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraman\ | ||

I'll have to check him out. I tend to like the off kilter Scifi movies. I still think one of the best films was THX 1138. I even liked The Mist though many did not. The movie wasn't about the monsters. It was about the people. I have a group of friends with whom I go to see movies on Friday night. We meet up, have a pint, and to watch the new release. We rate everything on the Eragon scale. Eragon is the worst movie in recent history. It absolutely sucked. Therefore we rate movies on a scale of 1-5 on the Eragon scale. Balls of Fury was a 1. This means that it was only one step better than Eragon. Pathfinder was a 2. It sucked but not more than Balls of Fury. Above 5 and it was passable to good. Shoot 'Em Up was a 6. It wasn't great, but it was what it was. Until there is a movie worse than Eragon, we will continue to use that film as the bellweather of suck. If you haven't seen it, save your eight bucks and squat naked over a mirror and stare at your taint. Much more exciting. | ||

FB...don't expect much from Ultraman. It was a tv series along the lines of early Godzilla flicks. In fact, the modern Power Rangers are the direct descendants of that style of Japanese tv show. PURE cheese... | ||
