[META][INFO] Title of moive claim from IMDB post

[Euchre]

I already commented on what I thought of that claim in another thread.
Still not believing it.

Blame this on not paying as much attention as I should, but how do you pronounce that?

A quick check of the US Trademark database turns up nothing on "Chuai".

On a sidenote, though, I see the trademark for "Overnight" had some activity on October 24th. I'm not an expert on their jargon, but it looks like it has been approved for publication.

If you go to the second page on the USPTO page, you can see the actual logo. Looks kinda boring to me, to be honest. Does the font match anything else we've seen? I was hoping it would be in Futura Bold, but no dice.

"Approval for publication" - the activity named on that site - just means that they are displaying the trademark in what amounts to the Patent Office's periodic newsletter, so that people who think that they have the rights to the trademark have an opportunity to see what it looks like and challenge it if they think it infringes their rights. If no one objects after a certain period of time, then the USPTO officially grants the trademark and then they can safely use it. It doesn't mean that the owners have the right to put it out for public consumption yet, say, on a movie poster. Sorry to be a downer, but this was something that the USPTO did in its normal procedure for approving TMs, not JJA or Bad Robot or any of those guys... it's just your tax dollars at work, sifting through some red tape. But the USPTO is notoriously slow, so that could be what's holding up the release of the title.

Yeah makes sense the guy who acts in the film isn't told as much as the sound technician. No foolin'

Wow... I just got done arguing with that guy on ProjectCloverfield.com about "Chuai"

it got to the point where Jordan came in, spammed/deleted all his comments... he started insulting all of us because we starting tearing it apart...

he didnt hold up too long... i think its bogus

His reasoning that they reference the incident at Chuai Station was the only thing that really made any sense, and the possiblity of naming the monster after the initial place it attacked (like "The Monster That Attacked The Chuai Drilling Station") is about as far of a stretch I could make to consider Chuai being part of it's name...

But Chuai (pronouced Qwai or Kwai, possibly Chew-eye because the "u" is a long vowel) doesnt connotate destruction and mayham and will simply confuse people watching it (since the back story of Tagruato will probably get lost in the movie)

speaking of Tagruato.... is it just me, or does domaintools show it as "Ta Grua To"....
