Cloverfield -

Mac Sirloin · #31 01-04-2008, 08:23 AM

J.J. Abrams is too full of himself to make a Rampage movie.

Strike Witch · #32 01-04-2008, 01:53 PM

I liked the Purple guy whose eye could explode.

My penis?

Yeah, me too.

It looks.... Alright. I'm not expecting anything big, it looks like the equivalent of the Mist.

Oh, and in the trailer it showed something like a bomb exploding. What creature spew bombs out of whatever body part it has?

Daxter King · #36 01-04-2008, 05:31 PM

Umm, Godzilla has had atomic breathe for a while. Fireballs is nothing new to movie monsters.

Wow, that's lame.

Bombadier beetales have a pair of glands that produce an explosion.

I thought they were called 'bombadier beetles' because they wore those awesome leather jackets with the fur lining.

Bullet Magnet · #41 01-05-2008, 12:46 PM

Actually, the explosion is an oil tanker that the Creature destroys.

Sorry, I don't get it.

I read up on this movie, and it seems it was based on an old game called RAMPAGE. In RAMPAGE you destroy a city as a big monster. One of the levels in the game is called Cloverfield, so they took that on as the name.

Er, by reading I meant I read comments on a youtube video. I just checked Wikipedia and there is no mention of Rampage at all. Sorry for misinformation.
Still, I'm going to see this.

Bullet Magnet · #44 01-05-2008, 04:43 PM

It's probably all set in the deranged psyche of a mutant lungfish.

Mac Sirloin · #45 01-05-2008, 05:09 PM

GOGGALOR

10 char.

I'd see that movie.

Astaroth Gregorium · #47 01-13-2008, 01:28 PM

Are you talking about Psychonauts? I love that game! haha, id din;t thinka nyone else played it.

Strike Witch · #48 01-13-2008, 02:32 PM

Read the released Production notes...

Man, this movie is going to be disappointing.

mitsur · #49 01-13-2008, 06:04 PM

Looks like a new take on the cliche of the monster movie. More like the kind of a view a hapless citizen would have rather than a military general or the monster itself. It mixes things up a bit, in a way I like.

I'm definetly gonna see it asap, right after I Am Legend.

Bullet Magnet · #50 01-13-2008, 06:05 PM

Just read them. How so? I see nothing in there foretelling gloom and doom other than that which is depicted in the actual film.

Strike Witch · #51 01-13-2008, 06:25 PM

It's boring.

The opening party scene is 20 minutes long, they never explain the monster, and you only get a couple of good looks at it.

Lame.

Bullet Magnet · #52 01-13-2008, 06:40 PM

That's what you get when you let film-makers make the movie they want to make, instead of the movie their pre-emptive fanbase wants them to.

Mac Sirloin · #53 01-19-2008, 01:08 PM

My internets have been down for awhile, so I would've posted this sooner but...

The monster isn't Godzilla, Cthulhu or the Whale monster, it's a lot smaller, and reminded me of the monster from The Host, but with more legs.

It shits what appear to be Antlions (Half Life 2 versions) or something close to them, and has 4 limbs that don't have a discernable use.

I have to say that the first 15 minutes were long and kind of boring, just people planning a party, etc... and how it was shot made me stand up and flip the screen and crowd off a few times.

Needed way more shots of the monster, and I know that if I had been the guy taping it then I would have avoided shit like focusing on peoples faces.

Should have been more bite victims. period.

Ending sucked balls, just, christ, it was such a cop out.

Daxter King · #54 01-19-2008, 03:56 PM

Movie rocked. Kastere has a sucky opinion.

Strike Witch · #55 01-19-2008, 04:05 PM

Kastere's right, it's a terrible giant monster movie.

I'd rather watch Gamera movies, to be honest.

However, it was really well-done, acting-wise and detail wise, but the shakey-cam annoyed the living hell out of me.

Leto · #56 01-19-2008, 08:30 PM

If it's like The Host I'll like it, even if it's just a little bit. If it's completely brainless with a cool monster it should be fun to watch, but I do hates me some shakeycam. Not nearly as much as I hate multiple shots on one screen ala 24.

Facsimile · #57 01-20-2008, 01:34 AM

It's fucking awesome. People who say they need to see the monster more are retards.
Why? Honestly, please give me one decent reason why you feel the movie would be better with more monster shots.
The opening scene was cool, and it didn't go for too long. The movie is about the people, not the fucking monster.
Was great to see with the surround sound blaring at the theatre.

Strike Witch · #58 01-20-2008, 02:13 AM

Because Monsters are cool and interesting to get a good look at?

Bullet Magnet · #59 01-20-2008, 06:49 AM

It is a survival story, not biological bloody field notes!

Kimon · #60 01-20-2008, 12:20 PM

Extended monster shots would have taken away from the whole "I'm trying not to die" feel of the movie. Duh.

Plus, not having a completely clear idea of what's causing all the destruction makes it that much more scarifyin'.
