I was looking forward to a modern re-telling of H.P. Lovecraftian lore with Cthulhu monsters attacking NYC. Instead this is turning into Emmerich's Godzilla (right down to the mini monsters).

KUJIRA means "whale"
by Shozo
Aug 31st, 2007
09:50:34 AM
The original Japanese GODZILLA was named "gojira," which was a twist on the Japanese word for "whale," which is KUJIRA. Just a musing. There are a lot of "jokes" and "riddles" posted in the Friends Comments on the myspace pages. Most of them have to do with "dinosaurs." Also, yesterday someone mentioned that a girl is "bitten" and becomes a monster. One girl's myspace page has a comment which reads, "Those cant be your real legs, or you would be 8 feet tall." Perhaps people transform into 8 ft tall dino/lizards. Perhaps it is all set in motion by the Slusho company dumping industrial waste in the ocean. Or, perhaps in Larry Cohen "The Stuff" fashion, Slusho discovers a secret ingredient in the ocean that causes people-lizard transformations.

What is with all the over-analyzation of this stupid fucking movie? JJ Abrams is a hack and the only way he can intrigue people with his tired cliche ridden work is to throw every bag in the sci-fi book of tricks at us. After Star Trek becomes the flop it is no doubt destined to become, this guy will become the new Joss Whedon - a Hollywood pariah of epic magnitude. Watch for the true Hollywood story of him turning to drugs and cheap prostitutes and eventually finding God. Mark my words.

I don't mind having talkback threads for this upcoming movie, but can you post some actual "NEWS" about it?

Yet Another Cloverfield Talkback. How can we still be having these just based on specutlation for a movie no one has a real reason to care about? Really. Why should anyone want to see a movie with no specified plot other than a monster is in it(WOW!), no known actors, a really shitty LA looking NYC trailer with bad effects/acting and no real title? By a shit writer/director that gets way too much business for himself on this site? Is the act of speculation really that facinating that we keep doing this? How many talkbacks and posts have given any real information? I've lost track of how many Cloverfield talkbacks there have been and I know the same thing now that I read on the first one. We even have to have a follow-up talkback for the last talkback that came out yesterday. Can this film possibly live up to the hype, time, effort, talkbacks, headlines, speculations, that this site has produced? Well?
Hype Hype Hype, fucking zzzzzzzzz
by PotSmokinAlien
Aug 31st, 2007
11:00:28 AM
has it occurred to anyone that the trailer didn't have a title just because the fucking thing is too murkily conceived at this point to even have one? count me the fuck out. we know JJ often leaps into shit at least half blind (LOST, mi3)--is it at all possible that this is another piece of crap he is making up as he goes along, bouncing "maybe" ideas off the internet to see what's too ludicrous, and going from there? i feel like he's just started the marketing hella early as an experiment to see how much buzz is too much buzz. i love me some LOST, but at this rate JJ will be remembered more for his achievements in blurring the line between marketing and entertainment, rather than the quality of the entertainment itself. and that is pretty lame, in my opinion

If it's a massive creature from the sea
by Novaman5000
Aug 31st, 2007
11:11:40 AM
It makes total sense that they'd use some version of a whale's call embedded into the roar, along with some other sounds. The idea is to make something that sounds like it could be from the ocean.

I LOVE monster movies like this, I'm just trying to not get my hopes up too much.

This also sounds a big like the Host, where the creature had fish sort of stuck in him that fell out... thing is when they fell out they didn't eat people, they just... flopped around on the ground and died.

...This is cooler.

I have a friend who worked on this. They weren't, and still aren't, allowed to tell me anything about it plot-wise (anyone who reads the sript has to sign a non-disclosure agreement), but he did say that all the little pieces of information that "somehow" find their way to the web are put out by JJ himself. This somehow makes me less interested in all the little news updates this site keeps running. I'll just wait until January.

"Why should anyone want to see a movie with no specified plot other than a monster is in it(WOW!), no known actors, a really shitty LA looking NYC trailer with bad effects/acting and no real title?"

Dude, honestly I have no idea if this is gonna be good, and I'm not being an apologist for the film, but that question just struck me as uniquely stupid.

Do you even LIKE movies? A monster attacks a city and a bunch of people have to survive. Plot, right there. As with ANY monster film, the basic plot isn't going to be what makes this movie, it's going to be the characters and the inventiveness of the action.

No known actors? WTF is this? You have to have big names in a film in order for it to be good? That's bullshit. Unknowns are sometimes the best option for films, especially films like this.

What the fuck is an "LA looking trailer"? It looked enough like NY to me. Effects were fine, and mostly likely not even final. Until we see the monster, the jury is out on this.

And we saw about 1 minute of acting, most of it running, but it all seemed perfectly fine. The only thing that struck me as hammy about the trailer was the occasional guy in the background screaming things like "It's alive! It's huge!" which was awkward.

Finally, no title is a great marketing tool. The filmmaker doesn't have to decide on anything for a while, and the public's interest gets piqued because it's intruiging that an untitled film would get a trailer. Win win.

Like I said, I'm not apologizing for this film, it could totally suck, but so far, it seems like they're doing ALOT of things right on this bad boy.

I hope there's a lot of silly poop jokes in it.

No, the film will never live up to the hype. That's why no one should buy into the hype that is getting pumped out on this site about it. But in defense of JJ... Shit writer/director? Did you SEE the lost pilot? How many [well-deserved] awards did that guy win for that fucking thing?

And Alias in its heyday? And MI-3 was leaps and bounds above MI-2 and at the very least on par with MI-1...

What I wanna know is where the hell does JJ's bad rep on this site come from?

CLOVERFIELD To Merge With SUPERBAD! CLOVERBAD!
by Buzz Maverik
Aug 31st, 2007
01:54:23 PM
From the makers of THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, LOST, SUPERBAD & FELICITY... CLOVERBAD! Screenplay by Seth Rogen and JJ Abrams, starring the guys who cut Judd Apatow's lawn, with Mrs. Judd as A Chick In the Movie! We need all the AICN overhype in one movie so we don't have to read two separate overhyped stories.

Synopsis: Jonah (Jonah Hill) and Minya (Son of Godzilla) are going off to separate colleges. During their last crazy night of high school, they decide to get some infectious monster lice, turn chicks into zombies and have sex with them. Meanwhile, their buddy Gamera tries to score booze with a fake ID "McCthulhu". He ends up in a parallel adventure with two monster hunters (Rogen and Samuel L. Jackson who keeps saying, "I used to be a great actor, man.").

Except 10,086 separate reviews on AICN! You'll get Harry, Mori, Merrick, Quint, Judd Apatow, JJ, JJJ, Double J, Midol Girl, Pamprin Girl and Unchecked PMS Girl.

Except coverage every time somebody thinks of this movie! See the Monster! Hear the Monster! Smell the Monster!

I read somewhere that there may be some supernatural/superhuman aspects to the movie?! This is based on the trailer. If you watch it in slo-mo at about 1:36 into it where the statue of liberty head is crashing to the ground, it appears that someone "flies" in and saves two people? Anyone else hear anything on this?

All he did was make one kick ass, leave-you-on-the-edge-wanting- more trailer for a movie without a name, and then launched two viral websites and some MySpace pages. The reason why people are getting annoyed is because every other day there is another post about the movie, whether it be baseless rumors or postings of pictures from the set, which are all the product of fans. I'm sure he probably doesn't mind all the hype, but he just laid the groundwork, y'all have over-hyped it.

But its manufactured in China! Only the Chinese production industry could cause something this horrible, that kills so many people.

Remember back when Transformers was first released in theaters? It seems pretty far off now, and I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait to see what this really is, 1-18-08 is a lonnnnggggg way off.

every movie before its released has haters. so, thats easy, those are the people you ignore because what the fuck do they know about something they havent seen. as far as this concept...i think a home video of a monster attacking a city is a good idea. havent seen something like it before, so im going into this movie with an open mind. and 1-18-08 will be here faster than you think.
perhaps one of those little scaly things ate MRX

and about too much hype...name one other movie next year thats going to be as interesting. no its not the most original idea, but face it, ever since godzilla and king kong first attacked NYC, there hasnt been another giant creature movie that wasnt a remake. and its about time someone tried something new with that concept because thats fun cinema.

better than godzilla's. but this better not be a fucking godzilla-type movie (well, it can be a godzilla-type movie in terms of dealing with the fact that we got our asses handed to us on 9-11 in the way the japanese did with godzilla to come to terms with the fact that we not only firebombed the shit out of their country but then dropped two excellent bombs on their asses) or i will be well pissed. i want some kind of creature that i've never seen before. like an octopus headed god. but i'm thinking that's so not happening now.

But it's sounding more and more like the bad Godzilla, with a giant mutant whalesquidcrab instead of a giant mutant iguana, and filmed with phones instead of movie cameras. There should be a law that only good movies get to have viral marketing.

I, too, agree that the creature is beginning to sound a lot like Sin from FFX. My first hint was yesterday's report that the scales detach and become monsters, themselves, and now the reports of the creature being whale-like?? Hmm...
does sound like sin to me too......

indy 4 is going to be ruined by old men trying to relive their heyday. redoing the original star trek is the stupidest idea ever. there will never be another spock and kirk. rambo may have great violence but theres no way the plot will be believable and dark knight isnt that interesting. the original dark knight comic was and always will be the darkest, scariest batman story ever. the movie will not compare. so no, so far, there is nothing more interesting. iron man may come close, but seriously, marvel is becoming more and more "hollywood" like with their properties. greed kills art.

I don't care. As long as its a good monster flick I don't care. What I've seen looks great . As long as it doesn't end up like Godzilla, which might as well have been a gaint cow roaming the streets of the Big Apple for all the tension it created, I'm not bothered. We all need a tremedous monster flick right now (King King dies too easily)

Cloverfield Ending Credits - Spoilers At the credits ending of Cloverfield, *spoilers* the audio from the video cam says, "Help us!". But when played backwards, it says, "It's still alive!" This happens after the end credits of Cloverfield. Assuming the speaker was Rob, he suggests Cloverfield (the monster) is still alive. This also suggests a sequel for Cloverfield 2! *Spoilers* The Japanese oil company TAGRUATO drops a satellite (Chimpanz III) into the ocean as part of viral marketing (shown at the end of the movie when Rob and Beth were on the ferris wheel). TAGRUATO works with SLUSHO (a slush company), as the main ingredient for SLUSHO is found at the satellite dropzone (deep ocean). While searching for satellite and ingredients, they woke Cloverfield (the monster). People who were at the party in the beginning of the movie, were seen wearing SLUSHO shirts. Rob apparently was going to be the Vice President of TAGRUATO in Japan. The main ingredient of Slusho apparently turns a tiny fish into a HUGE whale in Ganu's (he found the nectar) dream, which explains the size of Cloverfield. *Update* The main ingredient is a deep sea nectar. *Update* Because the ingredient was discovered on the deep ocean floor, under amazing pressure and in the most extreme cold, Ganu knew he had to serve the ingredient in a near frozen state to preserve its freshness. Thus the idea of Slush (Slusho)! For animals/fishes/insects to survive in the deepest ocean (very high boiling temperature), they naturally have very high heat resistance. This explains how Cloverfield is able to withstand numerous bombs and attacks from the army. Cloverfield refers to the field formerly known as Central Park. Clovers are usually prone to grow at places after bombing. Thus the term "Clover" and "field" referring to park. *Update* Slusho is a very addictive drink, with signs of steroid drug like effects. Makes people stronger, constantly happy, have happy dreams and finally... "SLUSHO makes my stomach explode with happy!!" (Remember Marlena's stomach?)
