[Question]Monster on official poster?

Hey, I did a search and couln't find an answer so I apologize in advance if this is already known but...
I cropped this image out of the Cloverfied poster, and this dark tentacle-ish thing in between the buildings doesn't look like smoke to me.. sorry for the quality couldn't find a better shot of it. Is that part of the monster???
Thanks.

I don't see it myself, could you mark out where you mean?
Also, where did you get such a high resolution poster? The helicopter isn't that detailed on the one I've got.

edit: I think I've found it, it's an old one from before they lazily or accidentally copied and pasted two extra helicopters in.

I'm fairly new to these forums as well (although not new to forums in general), so I'll welcome you here and not give you a trout. Your first post, a new topic at that, has been viewed more than 70 times with only one response.

I believe that's because the whole "Monster in the Poster" theory has been thrown around a few times. I've included a couple of instances for your reference.

Next time, a detailed search may be in order before you post a new topic. If you have trouble navigating the search feature, please find assistance in a moderator, or even message me. I'll be glad to help.

Again, welcome to the forum. Enjoy your stay!

Oh, and I don't think that's a monster. I think it's just a bunch of smoke and debris from the attack. Just my .02.

I feel sorry for you if Kraker sees this thread.... >.<

Anyways, this has been discussed ad nauseum before, and no solid answers came out of the discussions.

Yeah... both those links are pointing at different parts of the poster. I made a smaller cutout of exactly what I am talking about... it is darker than all of the smoke in the area and seems to be in front of the light of the explosion. To me it looks like a hand or something and bunch of tentacles coming out. Smoke doesn't make dark spidery projections like that in any picture I have ever seen.

yeah I see what you mean, but it's hard to tell what it is in a still picture.

If you look here:
http://www.adliterate.com/archives/mushroom.cloud.jpeg
you can see similar shapes, obvioulsly the scale is much bigger, but you get the idea.

It looks a bit like the foot I see in the trailer, which I still think is there, even if nobody else does Very Happy

Eh, smoke doesn't travel up in that manner, mark my words that is some sort of monster protrusion!
I can only hope the non-believers change their ways before judgment day 1-18-08 Laughing

Edit: to answer your question about where i got that poster i used the google to do an image search for "cloverfield poster" on very large image size

It's not moving upwards, I see it billowing outwards under its own weight, like this volcano:

I'd agree with you on the "billowing" thing if there wasnt such spindly detail to the darker smoke. The lighter stuff in the background looks like it is billowing because it is more solid.
Perhaps JJ put that in the poster to &*%$ with people like me who look too much into pictures, such as those who saw the hair goblin:

Yeah check out the left half of a demonic skull I found on the poster:

You need the extended poster with the start of the bridge visible on the right hand side.

mirrored:

You can see the Playboy Bunny, sans bowtie in the upper right corner of the poster. Very Happy

IMO, I don't think that is the monster, 'cause that just looks like smoke to me.

I challenge anyone to find a picture of real smoke on the internets that looks like that!
Seriously am I the only one who sees it? Has the world gone mad and I am the only sane one left Crying or Very sad
