After watching this new clip, I think the monster isn't "walking past" like we thought. I think it's actually in "mid-dive" so to speak. As soon as it crosses between the buildings and everyone freaks it's suddenly underneath the same street it just passed by. That's weird to me. The building crumbles to absolute dust from where the monster goes "underground," but why do we see part of the monster cross in front of the same spot it goes underground? It doesn't make sense, unless the part of Grumpypants that we see is part of it's body arching to go downwards.

As much as I like the new clip, it makes me really wonder what the hell this monster really is...What kind of sea creature can burrow like that?

Those pictures have always rotated slightly. Some weird part of their code I assume.

amazing CF footage there. Had me rooted to my swivel chair.

The debris coming towards the ppl on the street had an eerie feel about it. They were scared of it. So was the monster burrowing up the street and this debris was just the road cracking and sending up dust and stuff into the air?

I like the the footage has bits of the trailer, but with added voice of HUD and it all fits in together with no stopping like the trailer.

Can't wait for the film now.

This footages got me back with it now after being mind fudged by all the sci mumbo jumbo when trying to solve the DSI and stuff and japanese adverts.

Just to drive this point home again...The damned monster was going UNDERGROUND!!! This is new superpower that Grumpypants has, aside from being "huge" and "alive" and....

Anywho, burrowing monster? Perhaps the explosion is from the monster coming up through the ground? The would get him close enough to chunk the SOL's head with little effort. There's still a lot left unexplained here.

ok so i have just spent the better part of 3 hours reading this entire thread, all 28 + pages and so i feel like i deserve to put my in my 2 cents. (also as incentive to read this whole post i have found what i believe to be the first flub-up in cloverfield, it is somewhere in this post)

First of all in regards to the whole squirrel thing. Squirrel is the type of person who will say "I am not insulting you, but you are a cock sucking mother fucker." and than when you say "hey why would you say that?" he will say "hey man dont get so defensive, i said that i wasn't insulting you." so the best course of action is to just let him blow off steam and then go back to suckling on his mother's teet. Mostly i found it hillarious that he would berate people for their poor spelling in the same post that he made several egregious errors of his own. i.e. spelling meant as 'ment' misspelling marlena as marlana, misspelling graffiti as graffittie, etc. (and btw squirrel i will not respond to anything you say so dont even waste your breath, i have said my peace and I am now done with you.)

Now onto the actual topic of this thread:

1. Awesome.

2. To me JJ Abrams just seems a little bit up his own ass with the way he is talking. don't know why just something kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

3. So I really want the monster to be laughing in the beginning, in fact the first time i watched it that is what i thought it was; however upon further review it does sound a little bit more like a dog due to the fact that the roar hasn't completely subsided when we start hearing the sound. On the other hand they seem to be in an area of NYC where having a dog large enough to make that loud of a bark would be some what unlikely. So i am still up in the air on that one.

4. Jason and lily seem a little bit clingy. As soon as power comes back on he is screaming "LIL WHERE ARE YOU" in an almost too panicked. Either overacting or something else, you decide.

5. There is something definitely not right about marlena. I really doubt it is just shock of what is happening around them. Watch her eyes right as Jason and Lil are hugging and she walks around them, not only does she seem REALLY pale but she is just kinda staring off into oblivion. Almost zombie like (no i am not saying that she has been turned into one, just using a similie) and barely even acknowledges hud when he asks if she is alright.

6. Hud seems a little bit too concerned about Marlena's well being for someone who doesn't have much of a relationship with her. I will concede the point that if i were in hud's shoes i would probably be asking anyone whose name i knew if they were alright with just as much ferver but it just didn't seem quite right.

7. Approximately 15 minutes has gone missing somewhere. The black out hits at the same time as the earthquake, yet when they start watching the news it is at least 15-20 minutes after the earthquake due to the fact that the tanker overturned about 15 minutes after it and the news team already has a chopper over the accident. it might be between when blackout hits and when power comes back on. or it could be from the start of this clip to when they start watching the news report.

8. With regards to the explosion seen from the roof. Firstly the second explosion that was seen off to the side is just some debris from the initial explosion you can see the smoke trail. Secondly, something that has bugged me ever since the first teaser is the debris flying high in the air from the big explosion, all the large pieces explode in the air. What would get thrown in the air from a huge explosion and then proceed to explode again mid-flight? If this has been discussed here on UF before i appologize, i recently migrated here to the promised land from 01-18-08news.com (yeah this place is far superior.)

9. On the street, as to what Marlena says, i have gotten "Hud did you see jason leave . . .") i have no idea as to what she is saying after that. Also the s.o.l. head makes a little bit to fiery of a collision with that building in my opinion. I would think there would be that much fire, but that explains why the head is kinda smoking when it comes to a rest. well that and the fact that the metal head just grinded down the street, i am sure that would cause some smoke and some metal to get heated up. One last thing here I LOVE the fact that they have people taking pics with their phones, cause you know for a fact that if this exact thing happened no matter how terrified you were, probably about 75% of us would stop and take the pic and send it to a relative/friend: hell i'm surprised they didn't have a random dumb ass posing next to/on top of it. And not that i think it has any real bearing on the movie but, where was jason? I'm serious he seemed so clingly to lil at the beginning of this clip, and when they reunite he is appologizing for leaving her side for a couple of minutes, so where the hell did he go?

10. Inside the little convenience store, when the smoke goes across the windows you can see 2 silhouettes run across from outside the store. One going away from the crumbled building and one going towards it; To me the one that goes towards it doesn't look quite right, it seems a little bit bigger than your normal person, and the way it moves is strange. Also for some reason it looks cgi to me. But now for the movie flub-up that you have been waiting for. watch the rack (i would assume of chips or candy bars) on the counter. While people are running in and trying to find cover, a random guy(dude in a blue baseball cap) knocks it off of the counter, but than after the lights flicker on and off a few times, it is miraculously restored without a single crunch bar out of place only to get knocked over again when the ground shakes.

Well there is what i got out of this clip, let me know what you think. and sorry again for this being such a long post, i just really got a lot out of this clip.

p.s. i loved the "special olympics" pic from a few pages back it reminded me of one of my favorite jokes of all times:

What's better than winning a gold medal at the special olympics?
