lol cause she was impaled by a metal rod?
 
Interesting happenings. People over at Unfiction are saying that during the credits (mainly the overture) there flashes a date a few times:

September 10, 1969

Importance?

September 10, 1969, U.S. Government detonates a 41 kiloton A-bomb under a mountain in Grand View Colorado.

My thoughts are that its a nod to
What kind of bomb was used at the end.

Edit: If I don't read it then I don't know it. As far as I can tell she's 18 and no one has ever told me any different.

This is the most accurate sketch I've seen so far.


From what I was able to tell though, it only had one pair of arms on its chest (like from Alien) and the tail didn't have a fin on the back and was more eel-like.
It was very ripply, but was still tall.

You can see the ripples near the end when it's moving between buildings, and you can see the height when
it breaks through the bridge
.


Also, its back legs are wrong. The back legs were gorilla-like.
At least this sketch has a neck though. None of the other sketches include that.

Did you forget about the
HUGE FRIGGIN ROD stuck in her shoulder?
 
I'd heard that shakey-cam was a pretty serious issue with this movie, so I popped a Dramamine a half hour before and sat in the back row. I STILL FUCKING GOT SICK, and I was able to make it through Bourne Ultimatum without any problems. (I puked during Speed 2, though, along with half the theater)
Making a movie in first-person needs to be made punishable by death.

Watch more Youtube videos. You'll get used to it. :lol
 
You know I never believed people actually got motion sickness from first person views in games or movies...but this topic has changed my views.

I really can't beleive this problem is as widespread as it seems. I honestly had no problem seeing what was going on at all.

The theater I saw it at had warnings taped all over the box office windows, lol.

I just re-watched the ending. Nothing came from the sky. What is everyone talking about?

If you're watching the footage I think you're watching, then It didn't show up well. It's not a big splash, but its noticeable. From sky to water.

If they'd used that at the end, there'd be no tape and certainly no "its still alive" because everyone would have combusted.

Far right corner of the scene. Keep your eye on the water.

Also thats another rule for these kinds of sorta non-mainstream movies, always keep an eye out for something during wide shots of an area.

Yeah that could be. Don't know if it's already been mentioned, but Matt Reeves was the one that recorded that line. It was the last thing they recorded.

why would they show a satellite crashing when no one even knew about a satellite unless they followed the ARG hype stuff?
Click to expand...

Same reason that they keyed in on the girl from the viral marketing campaign? I'm sure they did several things in the movie that were fan service for the people that followed the marketing campaign.

Plus the satellite thing is just a theory.

The only thing in the far right corner is a boat.

In the theatre it was clear as day.

I watched it drop the entire way down.

Yeah thats what I thought he meant, he saw the movie again in theatres. But yeah, its pretty darn clear in the movie if you're actually watching it. Too bad the image didnt capture the splash at it's height, then it would'be been pretty clear.
 
Just got back from Cloverfield.... wow.
I'm exhausted, didnt get sick (came close), think everyone that plans on seeing this movie see it once in the theater... a good one to. The surround sound / scale of the theater screen added something that won't translate at home.

I thought the movie was great, and thought it was all handled well.

The acting wasn't amazing throughout, but had it's moments. The marine meets rob and gang in mall scene was probably the worst dialogue in the movie. But it ultimately didnt matter.

The movie did everything it needed to, and probably better than anyone expected.

The movie was an adventure / rollercoaster, and I for one can't wait to ride it again.

Note that in the "viral" marketing campaign for the film, there were hints concerning the "Bloop" incident. In 1997, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recorded an ultra-low frequency underwater sound that was never identified. Scientists who studied the phenomenon said that the creature that produced it would be much larger than a blue whale.

the ocean is full of mysteries

awesome. I love this kind of stuff.

Also, I'm glad I work in a movie theater. I keep watching
that bombing run near the end (amazing)
and the
flaming hobo banter scene
.
 
Okay, it's 1am here and I'm now caught up with this thread after having seen the film. I loved it. I don't know what else to say that's positive, that hasn't already been said, except... this movie gave me "ants in the pants." Once the sh*t started going down I was gripping my armrests and tapping my foot relentlessly the entire time. It was like a thrill ride, really.


Probably all I'll be able to talk about at work tomorrow.

lol someone a few seats to the left of me started doing that during the chopper spin out scene. Though i've gotta admit, that had me on edge as well. Also I cant say how much I wasnt expecting that night vision scene...jeez I probably would've dropped the camera if I actually made it that far in real life. Either that or just uttered a single curse word...the first that would come to mind in that situation, and bolted.

The only thing 'wrong' with that bombing run scene (we're past the spoiler mode now) is that they would have sent in B-52 Stratos because they have SIGNIFICANTLY better loadouts than any stealth could possibly hope to have.

maybe the
secret ingredient comes from some kind of comet that crashed into the ocean or something then. i just find the idea that a single alien creature would come through our atmosphere only to run around NY knocking shit over while showing no intelligence to be retarded.
Click to expand...
I seriously dislike this whole "secret ingredient" backstory that's been conjured up though all the viral nonsense. It takes this extremely cool monster and turns it into this...

As far as I'm concerned, whatever crashed into the ocean at the end of the movie is what woke the monster up.
 
It's funny, everyone seemed to be exhilarated when watching this movie except me. I was pretty much unsurprised by whatever was happening onscreen. Even when the chick exploded, which was the coolest part of the movie, I was like "yeah, I kind of expected her to do that since she got bitten and stuff."
 
Teknoman said:
And this is why im glad I live in Texas. Nothing is coming out of the water near Galveston. NOTHING. All we've got to worry about are Chupacabras and Thunderbirds.

Also note that the sound is speed up by 16x it's normal speed. Imagine how it would sound at it's normal speed....
Click to expand...

Chupacabras are no joke.
I've seen one
 
Hmm here in the South Bay of CA all we gotta worry about is fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis from hawaii and sunburn. Glad we don't have any monsters like that :lol

You expected her to explode?
 
Can someone give a quick round-up of what this Slusho and secret ingredient nonsense is? I can't be stuffed with the viral marketing.
