then why the hell is it being released in January? Why all the viral, playing coy with filmgoers marketing? I've got no hopes for this one, but with the dearth of any decent releases in Jan/Feb, I'll still see it. Maybe, just maybe, it'll surprise me.

Starwars reinvented Science Fiction movies

...in a time when Blockbuster was a new concept.

This is just a monster movie.
Made in a time when 20 movies a year competes to be Blockbuster of the year.

There will not be a new "Star Wars" until a few decades after the studios stop making Blockbusters.

Jesus christ - that makes me one of the world's most eloquent and insightful reviewers EVER!

The original Star Wars was a phenomenon of it's time; it was mysterious and unknown because it was just that - no-one was really interested in it prior to release, and the success was all word-of-mouth generated. 'Cloverfield' on the other hand, is just clever, slick - perhaps even cynical - marketing, and this 'review' is just typical...

I couldn't be LESS excited about this film.

THE MOST UNPUTDOWNABLE SEXY TOMBOY BEANPOLE IN THE UNIVERSE. Also, Roger Ebert is a moron.

by proton45
Dec 1st, 2007

Their are some clever minds behind the promotion of "Cloverfield" and it has made me (very) skeptical of any secondhand information I hear about the movie...However reading the paragraph about how they feel they "made Star Wars" made me cringe (I felt embarrassed for them)...The makers of "Star Wars" (way back when) didn't even know what they had before they released it...They thought that they had a "good movie" and hoped the public would like it, but they had no idea of the phenomena/sub-culture they where giving birth too...To suggest that "they"(cloverfield) feel they created something so monumental as Star Wars is embarrassing...maybe they should have said they made Jaws (LOL)...

by TheNorthlander
Dec 1st, 2007
06:13:50 AM
or when he kept talking about how great he felt about it and everything?

You see, people who work on movies are sometimes either blinded by the project as a sort of defense mechanism. Even though they know it's not that great they still convince themselves that it is to make a better job and keep the morale up.

Also, sometimes they lie because it's in their interest.

In this case, I say Don't believe the hype. If it's really that good, you'll hear it from people you know.

Cloverfield episode IV: A new hope
by everstranger

06:25:29 AM
So J.J Abrams make a Cloverfield trilogy that's awesome and in 2021, when he needs more money to pay for his divorce, he makes a prequel called episode 1: The monster menace. He introduces a friendly monster talking like a retard, brings in shitty actors who will fulfil all his nerdy fantasies like fucking near waterfalls etc... Angry fans demonstrations follow and the world collapses. I WARNED YOU !!!!

I wonder viewers will actually be able to work backwards after they see the film and see all of the clues they missed way back in July. I'd hate to think that there were no clues in any of that stuff. I would've wasted too much time pondering non-existant puzzles. Thats no fair!

I liked MI3too (sounds like a star wars droid), I think it's by far the best in the series. The first one was really forgetable, except for that great opening where all the agents got killed, and the second one suffered from post matrix syndrome.

But this isn't M:I 3.

This is the Liam Gallagher school of self promotion, and rule #1 there is Boast your ass off because people are sheep.

JJ and the producers have been fairly reticent. All of the hype is coming from people speculating. Im not sure why people are so angry at this film already. Nothing wrong with mystique. This is a unique appoach. Enjoy it. Would u be happier with knowing everything you think you want to know? Its human nature to want all the answers and get angry when they don't cme fast enough, but the anticipation and the slow unravelling is much more engaging.

Anticipating something being the next "Star Wars" is counter-pro
by Chewtoy
Dec 1st, 2007
07:23:54 AM
Seriously... As soon as you raise that expectation, there really is no way for a movie to meet it. Largely, this is because people didn't go into "Star Wars" itself with preconceived measuring sticks. So this pretty much leaves the only point of this "review" and over-hype being to fan the flames of the haters in talkback chatter. None of which strikes me as good for the movie. At least the "Blair Witch" backlash came *after* the film had become a success.

Talbackers that is what happened to this site
by emeraldboy
Dec 1st, 2007
09:26:10 AM
Some talkbackers anyway. The talkbackers who genuinely love movies have been crowded out by those who patently dont. Those talkbackers who dont like movies use thier Alleged love movies as a front, to beat up on every single aspect of movies from the process of making movies to the studio system down to all directors, writers and finally the cast, the poster, the trailers. They all hated X-men 3, Superman returns, transformers. But yet they all went and saw those films, crowded on here, to say how awful those films were. Dont complain if one day harry decides to shut this website down and walk away. He only set up this because he genuinely believed that there were people who shared his love of film. some talkbackers have become the reason why this site is so terrible. If the talkback was filled with unifrom agreement all the time then it would become boring. Just once in a while it would be good if everyone agreed that the fil they saw was the best of the year. some talkbackers have made this site utter predictable and stale. With utter dislike of Movies in general and anyone who actually likes movies and has a good word to say. and if harry shuts this site which he wont, then those who hate movies only will have themselves to blame.

The buzz of this movie has died down because people have become sick to death of Abrams' cock teasing. This elusive "I've seen Clovahfeeeld, ZOMG!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!11111" message is just another example of the above mentioned cock teasing. So somebody saw Cloverfield. So what? If no one is going to post a review then its a pretty pointless message really, isn't it? "But itz da necksed Stah Warz!!!!!" How are we supposed to know that??? No reviews, no hard evidence to suggest its awesome. Just a viral marketing campaign that lost its flavor months ago. Color me unimpressed.

Truthfully I'm very excited about this movie. I've got the poster I got at Comicon hanging in my cubicle at work. Yes I am that lamge.

I think that STAR WARS was made at a time when children liked space, but children are not in space anymore, so that big monsters are there in acity andkids and people can enjoy it. Plus, I liked it whenthey went ZEEEOOP! and PIZZZZEEEEM! Also, a monsterinthe city is too soon afterI was in it and I might get scared like the trailerwas for teh first sTar Wars.

Why are you all complaining about this now? it has been happening since the very beginning Of hollywood. There have been countless remakes of Dracula, Peter Pan, frankenstein, the blob, Alfred Hitchcock remade some of his movies. Westerns have been made and remade countless times. This all agenda-ism. Hype has alway been part of the hollywood system. This is a semi-hypothetical scenario. Hollywood gets total by superstorm and studio system gets suspended. Then there would be no hollywood, no movies no and reason for this site to exist at all. I cannot believe that there would people crowding on here if that happened and it may happen one day the way the weather is all fucked up globally to cheer the demise of the studio system. If there were no movies being made and no tv, this site would no exist. No more talkback.

that movies exist BEYOND H'wood? Don't you? This site, as ridiculously biased and dishonest as it became, runs articles about Asian or Eropean or sometimes African movies a couple times a year. Fuck Hollywood. It needs to burn to the ground, steam quietly for a decade and be rebuilt. Just like 50 years ago.

Oh, and as much as I love to talkback with some people here, if the site was shut down I'd spend my time doing more interesting things. Like watching movies. Or talking about them with my real friends from the real life. There IS something beyond The Internet.

The irony of the Cloverfield Marketing campaign...
by cinemaniac1979
Dec 1st, 2007

...is that this is how all movies SHOULD be marketed. Personally, I like know very little about a movie before seeing it. In my world, 95% (or more) of the material intrailers would come from the first two reels. The trailer should set me up, the movie should knock me down. Unfortunately, we live in a world where marketing types are too cowardly to trust that people might actually be interested in seeing something unless they know the entire (tired) story, beat-by-beat. Maybe Cloverfield's greatest accomplishment will be to simply get trailer houses to learn how to cut a damn trailer.

It's kind of an interesting perspective. In films we always see a giant monster attack from a science or military perspective before that of the average person's. People who are incapable of stopping the creature and are only struggling to survive. Don't see how that could possibly be the next Star Wars but it's still kinda cool.

AICN is being paid by the studio to market this movie and get awareness. all they have to do is every few weeks, up till release date, is post anything....no matter how much or how little content....that has the word "cloverfield" in it. this will stir up a talk back and get peoples interest in the movie up again. my suggestion.....stop talking back in these forums where it's obviously marketing shit by AICN. take your discussions to other areas of worth.

JJ is building up to....The Dark Tower?
by TheDrizzle
Dec 1st, 2007
02:01:23 PM
We get a HUGE teaser to The Dark Tower in the opening to The Mist......Cloverfield trailer plays before the mist. JJ Abrams is producing Cloverfield....JJ Abrams purchased the rights to Dark Tower.........NExt Star WArs? Only thing on the horizon I can think of that can rival Star Wars as a giant epic series would be Dark Tower. How fucking cool would it be if JJ builds to the Dark Tower with actually other films tying into it? It's a long shot but it makes sense with all the secrecy and vague comments like the "Star wars" one......

Cloverfield marketing

I think Abrams should have took the marketing further and had Coca-cola secretly create a Slusho drink well before the release of the movie. Each can containing clues about Cloverfield. Imagine seeing mysterious, green Slusho vending machines popping up on college campuses all across the America. I think it would have generated some real buzz and kept people talking.

by BobPalpatine

If not then when she stop waiting for the next Star Wars - since what makes it so special and unique won't ever be duplicated - since by definition it wouldn't be special or unique. If you are waiting for something that makes as big a splash in fandom, I would say the comic book movies approach that sort of Star Wars mayhem.

The Dark Knight unleashes a marketing blitz across the web, with multiple websites such as The Gotham Times, The HaHaHa Times, Remembering Gina, We Are The Answer, and many many other websites representing Gotham's main institutions such as Police, Schools, Banking, Transport and Security, bringing Gotham to life with real e-mail addresses, phone numbers etc. basically constituting a massive online mystery to reveal just what is really going on with the Joker (not to mention the numerous whysoserious updates and games there have been recently) and AICN doesn't even report it in its footnotes. But Cloverfield gets headline news because some nobody apparently said 'it was awesome'. Fuck this site.

Wouldn't The Matrix qualify? It had ground breaking visual effects, that were copied ad naseum since. It had a "philosophy" that could delved into for deeper meaning. And it had a lead actor, Reeves/Hamill, that hasn't been in anything good since. (Overlooking Hamill's voice over work)

by Harry Weinstein
Dec 1st, 2007
03:44:01 PM
A plant would have gone on at great length without saying much of anything, and inserted lots of crappy catchphrases imitating other reviews their corporate masters e-mailed them from this site. No, I think that was real. I would never call it a review but I think it was a legit reaction. On that note, here's my "review" of Pang Ho Cheung's EXODUS. JUST SAW EXODUS IN A VERY SMALL SCREENING IN A ROOM ADJACENT TO MY BEDROOM! IT WAS AWESOME!!! See, no sell out in my review - I turn on the Caps Lock and I keep it that way 'till the review is over. Also, I only used exclamation points for ending sentences, and after "AWESOME" I used three of them. It underscores exactly how awesome EXODUS truly is. I even give you the location of the screening, so you can get a bit deeper into my frame of mind. This guy you published can't make up his mind about the awe-inspiring power of Caps Lock. He needs to either completely embrace it, or stick to capitalizing properly like he was writing for Film Comment or something.

Watch him kick Lady Liberty's head

Say, we can dance like Cthulhu
Live it up while the livin's good
Cause once he awakens, the world starts shakin'
and there goes the neighborhood

Say, we can dance, we can dance
Great Old Ones are in control
We can dance, we can dance
Hear them callin' the call
We can dance, we can dance
Terror makes you go in a trance
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's shitting their p-a-a-nts

Hilarious talkback
by DocPazuzu
Dec 1st, 2007
04:38:42 PM
emeraldboy, you do have several valid points but they would have gone over better if you didn't mention THOSE films as examples.

Also, as much as this site drives me crazy on occasion, I love it dearly for the talkbacks. There is nothing more entertaining or funny than a talkback that's gone completely nuts, whether it's a geek franchise flame war, a good troll-bashing, or a new catch-phrased/themed frenzy. Sure, I'd prefer a few more serious film discussions every now and then, but I can't lie - I absolutely love the unique madness and hilarity of AICN talkback.
