Forget Slusho, play Pachinko with Nic Cage! by ConquestMelee	Dec 6th, 2007 01:27:43 AM
Truly the best REAL Japanese commercial. http://youtube.com/watch?v=983 _qqatdTQ FYI: Pachinko, the only legal gambling industry in Japan, makes up a quarter of the revenue for the entire Japanese entertainment industry.

Abrams already made a whole TV show out of lifting ideas from Whedon, so this only makes sense, I guess.
OMAHA GUNMAN IS ROB HAWKINS!!! by That 70s Venom	Dec 6th, 2007 02:09:56 AM
Anyone else notice that the guy's name is Rob Hawkins that shot and killed 9 people including himself at the Omaha Nebraska mall. The main character of Cloverfield is Rob Hawkins. Coincidence??? I THINK NOT, MY FRIENDS. http://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Westroads_M all_shooting

Was the Omaha Mall shooting part of JJ Abrams viral advertising scheme for Cloverfield? I'll let you decide.

Once again, useless. At least DARK KNIGHT gives us by Kurzinski Valentine	Dec 6th, 2007 02:23:39 AM

Japanese Mr Bean by Hardboiled Wonderland	Dec 6th, 2007 02:30:47 AM
If any of my film students came up with an ad like that, I'd immediately fail them, kick them out of university, and make sure they never go near a camera again. That was fucking awful, not even the Japan's version of Mr Bean could save it. The stereotypes of whacky, tripped out Japan are getting a more than a little stale too. JJ, cut this shit out and stick to the fucking film -- if it's good enough next January, people will watch it. Making awful Japanese stereotype commercials isn't going to make Cloverfield any better.

New Cloverfield Monster Siting... by orion315	Dec 6th, 2007 02:43:55 AM
...sort of. If you look at the very end of the commercial, right after the last Slusho banner and while a monkey holding a flag goes by, you'll see what looks likes a bunch of brown scales. Could this be the skin of the monster? And could those be the smaller monsters as well? Remember back to the trailer. The VERY quicj flash of the monster seemed to be brown skined. I'll let you guys decide. And if you see it, could someone post the time code of this as well?
ADRIANVEIDT: Why SLUSHO was in HEROES by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 6th, 2007 02:45:41 AM
The director of "Cautionary Tales" was Greg Yataines who directed two episodes of ALIAS and is good friends with JJ. That's why Slusho can be seen in this episode and, because Kring liked the idea, he included in the following episode as well. In addition to this, Matt Parkman has a role in CLOVERFIELD. Hope that answers your question!

'A Room With A Moose' by Reel American Hero	Dec 6th, 2007 09:30:47 AM
Episode of Invader Zim had a much funnier and stranger use of a moose. How Jhonen Vasquez got a deal with Nickelodeon I'll never know.
Slusho is also an industrial grade lubricant by smackfu	Dec 6th, 2007 10:23:30 AM
Because nothing slows down your Voltron faster than lion-on-lion friction.

It didn't last long though... Nickelodeon soon put a stop to JV and the... the... things he do.

That was actually more "normal" than I thought it would be.
The Contest by NoahTall	Dec 6th, 2007 11:09:15 AM
What was not mentioned here, and what you won't see unless you go to the actual slusho website, is that there is also a contest involved. Send them your own version of a Slusho commercial and the top 5 winners get Slusho Alienware systems valued at $3,000
Yeah, I think it was after Nickelodeon realized.. by Reel American Hero	Dec 6th, 2007 11:45:48 AM
What JV generally does in his work that they probably pulled the plug. It's all on dvd now though at least. Man that show was awesome.
The man who walked into the Mall in Ohama and shot 9 people dead by emeraldboy	Dec 6th, 2007 12:17:16 PM
ROBERT HAWKINS. The note he left behind said now I will be famous. The name of the hero in Cloverfield is Robert Hawkins. you couldnt make it up. I think paramount are going to pull this film. Theres fact and fiction. One guy killed himself in real life and the other gets killed but we odnt know.
lots of stomach shaped imagery by ArcadianDS	Dec 6th, 2007 12:23:46 PM
the beast recreates itself by putting its hundreds of fish-eggs inside your stomach. reference the clip where 'woman behind sheet' goes BLORRRRGHL and gets fat. shes getting her eggs and essentially will serve as a cocoon. The imagery of a slushy soft drink where you can't drink just six (meaning, bloat yourself beyond belief on this stuff!) ties it all together. As for the giant wall of sculpted chocolate with a monkey waving a cheese flag? no idea. Id like to know whats in the picture frame that the mermaid is trying to hang up with a hammer, tho.
also...referse audio pls? by ArcadianDS	Dec 6th, 2007 12:26:52 PM
can someone reverse the audio and put it online? Something about the way they say "flay-varh' smacks of reversed audio.

Just saw the new Slusho commercial &...... by knght_n_shng_armr	Dec 6th, 2007 12:45:46 PM
it's an addictively catchy little tune,isn't it? Oh yeah,& the visuals were AWESOME.
It's the catchphrase that wouldn't die!!!!!!! by knght_n_shng_armr	Dec 6th, 2007 01:08:17 PM
Picture,if you will,a scene out of Sesame Street. The count is in his lab. Something lies on a table under a sheet. Electric currents flow through the "thing". It groans & arises. It is the word "awesome". Then,in a scene eerily reminiscent of Frankenstein,the count laughs his boisterous laugh & exclaims:"It's alive,alive-& it's huge!!!!!!!!".

Do you think that they'll make real Slusho edible product to hyp by knght_n_shng_armr	Dec 6th, 2007 05:14:37 PM
I personally think it can go one of three ways: A) They won't,as the movie is a stand alone monster movie & not a blockbuster franchise horror series,therefore not worth the financial risk for something w/ a short-term shelf life; B) they will cut a deal w/ a company like ICEE to produce their product with temporary Slusho pattenting to save money & deliver decent product; or C) They will invest in a temporary product they produced themselves cheaply that tastes soooo bad,you won't even want to taste it out of curiousity. Your thoughts,people?
I wouldn't mind if they made a real product by Reel American Hero	Dec 6th, 2007 05:32:25 PM
It sounds like it'd be pretty damn tasty, and even if it sucks, hopefully they'd put them in the washable style cups so you can save them afterwards, not unlike the collectable cups they used to promote Revenge Of The Sith at 711. I've still got a bunch of those in the cupboard.
