ok, so if slusho “makes my stomach explode with happy” and the monster, which was originally whatever the frick it was, why didn’t the pre-monster’s stomach explode? does deep sea nectar have a different reaction on animals/fish than on humans?

[...] a story, but instead create a world of fake products/companies/etc. around them? Well head over to Geeks of Doom, they did a badass write up covering all the fake companies and backstory behind Cloverfield, [...]

Wow. I wonder how they can come up with these amazing stories and tie-in seemingly irrelevant things such as an ex-girlfriends webcam rants about how much she hates her boyfriend, and bring together something amazing.

It also takes tons of work to uncover these stories, amazing work guys.

To TheBranders: I think the second Cloverfield movie (Cloverfield2) will be shot from the perspective of the military. (They all had cameras on their heads, so… yeah).

I have a poster of the sequel “the Cloverfield 2 poster!” and a script outline of Cloverfield2. It’s fun to read, and you can read it here: http://planetmat.blogspot.com/2008/01/cloverfi eld-2.html

I’d like to see an alternate cut where they still act like it’s a home movie, but stabilize the picture just a little bit.

In my opinion the second film should be from the perspective of the man filming on the bridge. But dont have this character and his group running from monsters all night, maybe they get caught up in the very innerworkings of tagruato itself, and its attempts to cure bite victims on the opposite end of the island that central park isnt on. Maybe we dont need a conventional film to explain to us the backstory on cloverfield, maybe we need another “from camera” perspective from someone who just happens to be in the right places at the right time.

idk if anyone cares about the comment or even follows it, but its an idea that hit me that i had to jot down on something.

WTF?!?! SO WHAT IF THIS..WAIT..so what if this movie has a lot of holes and stuff? Just fill in the empty parts of the story with your imagination and it’s all good. But I was still curios so I came here :P. For seriously …it’s just a movie, don’t get so worked up about it

thanks for filling in a whole lot of holes. interesting stuff.

as for people saying that the camera would run out of battery….come on, we’re talking about a movie where a monster the size of a skyscraper attacks new york.

Excellent review!!!! Your article must be placed in the end of the credits…. I really liked the movie, but it leaves you that taste of uncompletion……

Hey everyone, I found this interesting photo gallery of the new Hasbro toy. Still pretty breath taking…for me, at least. I think the interchangeable head is rad…one for happy clover, one for pissed/Hud eating clover. I could talk and talk about this, but it’s probably just better for everyone to have a look for themselves. Enjoy :)

As discussed earlier, the number six does appear in a lot of places:
- The movie was 84 minutes long, making it 6 minutes short of a full 90 minute tape.
- The Slusho slogan “Can’t have less than six!”
- Also, if you have a look at http://jamieandteddy.com and log in to the video-page, you will notice that the number6 video is the only one spelled with a capital letter, i.e. Number6.mov. Could be co-incidence, but i doubt it ;)

Also, a connection to Lost and the number six. In the beginning of Season 4, the survivors are refered as the Oceanic Six.

That angle has been bothering me, too. The only thing I could figure…alright…everyone take a deep breath here and try to follow me…….is the monster is thousands of “human” years old. Kind of like, how dogs have dog years? So, relative to human years the monster is thousands of years old. Perhaps the species that the monster is sprung from has been in the ocean for millions of years and have life spans that can be tens of thousands of years long….so, compared to it’s own species it’s still a newborn.

That’s all I got though, I’d love to see other’s theories. Sad that Cloverfield mania is starting to die down, and this forum won’t be going nuts again until sequel rumors start kicking up.
