Rather have a "Rob Makes Crazy Decisions" action figure. With "Let's Do It The Hard Way" action!

Kane Knight 01-22-2008 06:54 PM

LOL

Shaggy 01-22-2008 09:35 PM

I want a Marlene Doll....spoiler of course in black

With Exploding Stomach action

Blitz 01-22-2008 09:36 PM

Intense flick, yeah. The monster was awesome. I thought they were going to do like a standard giant lizard type deal, but not at all.

Lord fuck I hated this movie, when I wasn't falling asleep with how boring it was, I was pissed at how stupid it was, even the monster was pretty disappointing, or maybe it was the lack of clear shots of it.

I would rather see The Village again then this worthwhile pile of monster crap.

Im not going to contest that, but It did not make the movie any better, I just found the monster to be lackluster, the camera was annoying as hell, it had like no plot but running around, and the worst ending ever.

I felt like I paid $10 just to see what the monster looked like.

To each his own about the monster and the camera. But I don't get the no plot argument. It had a plot, a simple one. Monster attacks city, guy tries to save girl and escape. That's enough. People are complaining about how there was such a lack of explanation for the monster, but what are they supposed to do, have some scientist come out of nowhere and give a perfect explanation of what it is?

It's not even a 90 minute movie. If it got bogged down in plot, it would kill the pacing. I like that there was no explanation for the monster. All the more interesting. All you have to know is it's big, it's mean, it's a force of destruction. This is a popcorn flick, not Atonement or something. Who needs that much plot in a movie like this?

Blitz 01-22-2008 10:04 PM

Sketch of the monster. Most accurate one from what I can tell.

Blitz 01-22-2008 10:07 PM

And I don't get the complaints about the ending. I don't think a perfect, happy ending would work. The ending left me wanting more, because you're pretty sure the damned thing is still on the loose.

The monster looked somewhat cool, its too bad the Aerial chopper shot was him surronded in dust and smoke, and the only other decent shot is when the dude gets eaten by the monster, and even then its only a headshot I just really did not like the shaky camera dealy, It reminded me of The Blair Witch, which I dislike, also It was only like 1 hour and 20 minutes as you stated. I understand that it is difficult to have a plot and explanation when no one knows what the fuck is going on, and running like crazy, as its seen from a handheld camera, I just wish the ending was Was not the way it was, Ideally for me it could have been them saying they love each other, running towards a chopper that is about to take off, the monster is after them and the last thing before the end credits you see the monster being bombed by a F-16 Fighter Jet, and the camera falls to the ground and goes off, that leaves the question did they survive, did the monster survive, did they even hit the monster, did they make it to the chopper, but be taken down again by the monster, it also leaves the sequel door wide open

The only problem with the ending is...

that would make me think the monster lived and that the characters got away. The fact that the monster was bombed and the last shot you see is of the characters flying off before the camera is dropped to the ground would leave the crowd thinking that way. Ending the movie the way they did showed that the characters were killed off except for the monster. I didnt even know of the thing after the credits and I just assumed from the ending he was still alive anways.

Im not saying that your ending is a bad ending...its a great ending if you want to end the movie on a nice high note. But I think the directer was trying to get the people wanting more.

Kane Knight 01-23-2008 10:32 AM

This movie seems very cathartic. It's the antithesis of the movie formula, and does a lot of things considered "bad." I'm just hoping the movie really has some merit beyond being counter culture.

Reavant 01-23-2008 03:23 PM

Honestly, if your not retarded (which I think I can say your not) and you can accept the point of view from what your seeing, its amazing.
Everyone who hasnt liked it are the types that watch meet the Spartans. They hate that they dont have any closure or backstory. This movie is not about that.

If you can accept it for what it is, it is amazing.

Volchok 01-24-2008 10:08 PM

The movie imho was made really well, I haven't gotten into a movie as much in awhile.

I tend to agree with this but not the extremes that you've gone into. I thought it was an average film, I enjoyed some parts but I really think they should havenot used the hand held camera angle throughout the whole of the film, instead they should have done half and half with some professional shooting and the rest in hand held mode. Some things really annoyed me though:

1) The guy filming just annoyed me with his chitter chatter even when they were in the tunnel running away he was cracking stupid jokes. And walking around the room prior saying to everyone how Rob and the other bird had sex. Just the way he just wouldnt shut up in general. I realise this was in the movie to add to the 'realism' of the whole situation but it just really annoyed me. I was glad when he died at the end :p

2) How the guy kept filming absolutely EVERYTHING, when at times you just think "mate fuck filming this shit, just get the fuck out of there". which leads me to point 3...

3) How long is the battery in the camera? They start filming around what, say 9pm on the night of the party and it manages to last til about 7am the next morning, being on almost constantly and having used night vision etc. Certainly can last a while lol

4) Why did they fly OVER the city when they were in the helicopter instead of flying AWAY from it? Dunno about you guys but if I was trying to get the fuck away from something I would go the long way if I had to as long as I got the fuck AWAY from it, not hovering over it, lol

I did like parts of it though, I did enjoy the realism of it with the hand held camera even though at times it got very annoying and was unnecessary (and my mate started feeling a bit of nausia [sp?]). I also liked how they've left it open to maybe a sequel, possibly using the girlfriends story once she got in the helicopter, or the army guy's story from the ground.

Well, since the movie is supposed to be the video as is, the battery only had to have been good about a little less than an hour and a half, which I'm sure most cameras can do. So while the movie covers from about 9 PM to 6 AM, I'm guessing there's pretty much a lot of shit that doesn't get recorded

Also pretty tired of people complaining about the camera being "invincible" and "pretty strong" and shit. Because if we went the whole movie without Hud going through any problems people would complain about that, yet if at some random point the camera broke, THERE'D BE NO FUCKING MOVIE. And if people were pissy about the ending as it was, imagine how pissed they'd be if the movie ended with the camera just fucking breaking.

Retarded.

RP 01-25-2008 08:07 AM

No you're wrong. If the camera broke and all you saw was black and all you heard was buildings falling and shit and the movie kept you expecting someone to start filming shit again for like 15-20 minutes. And then the credit rolled.


that would be FANTASTIC! Best ending ever imo.

Pinnacle Charisma 01-25-2008 05:52 PM

saw this today, i think that the fact that i followed it so much before hand made it a bit more enjoyable to me. really, i thought it was great to be honest, the monster isnt all to well represented in most of the pics in this post, it looks fucking HUGE and INSANE. really i enjoyed it.


not a mention of slusho tho....hmmmm

El Fangel 02-02-2008 01:13 AM

They needed more shots of the monster, and not such a shitty camera dealy.

I think this combined the worst parts of Godzilla, with the worst parts of Blair Witch honestly, I wish I liked this movie, because of the hype.

El Fangel 02-02-2008 02:10 AM

9 fucking K w00t.

94 SVT Cobra 02-02-2008 03:28 AM

heres how it works.....ive literally poured a good amount of time looking into the slusho, taragoto ( something like that) and this other website thats AGAINST those two companies, like a radical group based to stop them.

fromt he slusho website

Slusho is made from something called "sea bed" which is literally at the bottom of the sea, its only able to be served frozen since it is presurized under the sea and and HAS to remain fresh. Also, the orginal person who decided to put sea bed into a drink and made slusho had a dream the night he discovered sea bed where he dreamnt he was a fish and a whale came along and told him to put the sea bed into a drink and drink it. he did that in his dream and the fish turned into a whale...i think thats some sort of sign. slusho is NOT FDA approved.

Taragtuo (spelling) website:

Taragauto is a HUGE corporation that does two things....drills into the ocean floors to get oil but get this....Taraguto is the PARENT COMPANY of Slusho. are we seeing the connection here? slusho has NOT been FDA approved yet but arrived in america on dec 22 207. funny thing about that? On sept 2007, they started an offshore drilling sight thats QUITE the distance from new york, but is none the less a straight line to it. A not FDA approved product that supposedly has something to do wiht the monster being funded by a multimillion dollar oil drilling rig?

gets better....apperently this company also has somehting to do with satellites....and they mention about launching a new one to find a :Rouge pieace" that fell off another japense goverment satellite...the kicker? it landed in the atlantic ocean.

Guess what you saw when you see that thing falling into the ocean?

Now for the radical group...check THIS out.

They are swearing up and down this company is crooked. they are radicals that think targauto is drainging mother earth of all its components. also, they believe the "Accident" that happened to a former or current slusho employee and his family wasmore then just an accident. this person knew somethign and was possibly going to blow the lid off this slusho mystery before being tragically killed with his family accodring to these radicals.

This is all i have so far

THe drilling site off shore of NYC opened up sept 2007...sometime between now and then slusho is approved for us distribution by the AFA but not the FDA..key element there.....the satelite...falls in the ocean in april...monster attacks in may 2007.

satelitte or the offshore driling rig has somethingt o do with the monster, or both. one way or the other, its pretty damn intrestign when you follow this all on the net then see the movie.

Kane Knight 02-02-2008 08:45 AM

Any two points are colinear, SVT.

94 SVT Cobra 02-02-2008 01:55 PM

unfortuneltly...nothing is actually adding up at all. its all very vauge but its clear this is how JJ abrhams wanted it to be done...a movie that if you didnt really follow it up until it came out and saw it, you would think blair witch project and that it sucked. but theres so much more thats hidden, like the fact that you saw someone else holding a cam corder on the bridge what could that mean you know? more tapes to be found?

I know its kinda corny but for some odd reason its fun to try and pieace it all together, obviously you cant quite yet but the pieaces of the puzzle are there none the less.

there being pretty smart makingn it so either the satellite or the drilling site could be the reason the monster is here. is it from space or is it from underwater? really, the movie is not even half the story if you read everything else.

Maybe i have to much spare time on my hands but, this is a lot of fun for what ever reason to me lol

Kane Knight 02-02-2008 02:03 PM

JJ Abrams will answer questions in Cloverfield 2, creating several dozen more and contradicting established events. HE will be hailed as brilliant.

94 SVT Cobra 02-02-2008 02:10 PM

nothings really contradicting so far really. we dont even know anything about slusho in terms of a movie presence, only whats online

btw...the slusho site, has some creepy fucking music to it

really tho, its kind a but much to follow for the casual fan, idk if JJ is trying to create some cult following or something but im hooked lol. i hope they make a movie from the radicals point of view during the attack, imagine if they were there too?

I want more, Seriously. There are so many questions that need to be answered.

Dave Youell 02-11-2008 04:56 AM

I don’t want anymore. That film wasn’t designed for answers and/or questions

It was just a great monster movie, leave it as it is

Any sequal couldn’t be done in the same vien and would be treated like a proper film and would probably end up like Godzilla (1998) oh god I’ve got sick in my mouth!
