CLOVERFIELD: Anyone see it? Thoughts?

[nfpgasmask]

I've taken giant strides to equip our domicile in a manner that makes it all but unnecessary do deal with humanity, in order to be entertained. ( Hell, I go to Wally World and Winn Dixie at 5AM) People just can't seem to behave when I'm around, and somehow, I always get involved.)A great TV/ gaming space is key....a big ol' climate controlled garage is next (in my case, it adjoins the TV room) You need a drinkin' room... with TV pool table, Foosball, pinball (required...I'm a Hook fanatic) and beer fridge. Every thing else is her problem...I could care less. You're still bouncing around...when you find your spot, take your time planning.

Before sunrise is the only time to go to Wally World. Otherwise it is a hair pulling event.

Go here:http://movies.go.com/1-18-08/d910712/horror to see what Kenny is talking about("top tidbit"). Warning: this gives away something if you haven't seen the movie yet[/QUOTE]



Awesome thank you. I thougth i saw something in water but didnt see other part. sorry if I spoiled something but if you havent seen it yet and your reading this post then isnt it your fault LOL

Here is the backstory, in a nutshell (taken from a blog). highlight the area below to see the spoiler. It doesnt really ruin the movie, but it will take away some of the mystery.


Rob (one of the main characters of the movie) got a job offering from a company in Japan named Slusho! which is a subsidiary of another Japanese company called Tagurato. Tagurato is an oil company, which means that they have oil rigs in the ocean. Slusho! has a special ingredient that makes people want to drink more of it. That special ingredient comes from the bottom of the ocean. Apparently, a piece of a Japanese government satellite called ChimpanzIII fell off, and Tagurato is trying to find and identify the object that fell. It is speculated that while trying to find the object, they awoke a monster that is thousands of years old. This is the monster that attacks New York.

Not to spoil anything - but in the last 30 seconds of the film, keep your eyes scanning in the background, it'll explain a few things.[/QUOTE]

Veni, Vidi, Uti!

Monster is awesome - camera jitteryness gave me a headache (just like BWP) and at one point I said "but where's the witch?" but other than that I found it a really unusual and unique offering.

This site is the ONLY source of positive info regarding this film. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for being different, hahaha. I have not heard a single positive thing about this flick, but you all rave about it.

Too many have told me about the "Blair Witch" carbon copy and how extremely annoying it can be, so, that is enough for me to wait till I can rent it at 7-11.

Still, its good to hear some positivity about it. I was totally buying into the viral video marketing and had hopes for it.

For those asking what I meant about looking near the end:
Ahhhh... I'm not going to PM everybody. It's not really a spoiler, but it was hard to catch for most. If you Google "cloverfield splashdown" you'll see what I'm talking about. There are a few theories...

LOL I am soo lost now and confused. Theory on what? Are the scientologist actually right and their Messiah has come for them??? NOOOOOO.


I thought it was just some monster that tore apart NY city and that was that. I didnt know there was a conspiracy that was apart of it. Bah I dont want to watch a shaky camera again but I may have to go back and see it.


As for those that say its BWP #2 nah I think they remade that movie. plus this isnt shot on crappy 8mm or whatever blair which was shot on so the quality of the video isnt bad. Plus liek Bart said I wouldnt wait because not sure of sound system you have @ home but was waay worth it.

I am considering a second theater viewing.

Really? IMDB has a lot of positive commentaries (as well as some negative). None of my friends/family that have seen it have had anything really bad to say about it. I think the people that are knocking this film are not really understanding it, or were expecting something completely different. IMO, this film is NOT about a monster. Sure, the monster is the driving force behind everything that is happening, but to me, this film is about the first person experience. Who cares if you don't get a full frontal shot of the monster? Who cares where it came from? Its really not about that.
Also, a lot of people complained about the ending. Why does every movie have to have a happy ending? Why do all the questions always have to be answered? If you have to have everything spelled out, you should stick with Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich films.

All I can say, Worm, is that you're missing out if you don't see this one in the theater.
