A place to say "I told you so!" After all, that's the fun of an ARG! Hey Unfiction lurkers/posters.
With the movie release date slowly approaching and the inundation of the internet with rich clues/questions/answers for Cloverfield, I thought I would set this forum up for an opportunity to say "I told you so".
What exactly do I mean?
In the last month, there has been much speculation that has been either confirmed or disproved with the Jamie and Teddy Videos, Slusho!, Tagruato, TidoWave and all of the footage being released.
The point of the Viral marketing and the ARG was for us, loyal supporters of... whatever this turns out to be, to piece together the clues and deduce what facts we can.
e.g. <Member> - I speculate that there is Slusho! stuff in the package from Teddy to Jamie - TOLD YOU SO!!!!
etc...
Did Tadruato make the monster?
Did Tagruato awaken the monster?
What is the 'event'?
Does Jamie die early in the movie?
Do they survive?
Does the silhouette in the trailer belong to Marlena Diamond?
Does Marelna Diamond got some 'sploding to do?
Are there smaller monsters?
Does Rob get the girl?
I know everyone has their thoughts on the answers to these questions, so as we learn the truth, be proud to say...
"I TOLD YOU SO!!!!"

There was a point where everyone thought we weren't gonna see the monster
There was a point where people thought Slusho! was causing the virus
There were even people who thought that Jamie's gift was nothing directly significant to the game.
I always thought otherwise.
I told you so

My gut feeling and I may be wrong but:
I think the monster will be whale related (just sounds that way to me and whales really need more opportunity to kick ass in cinema anyway! What's the last payback they had? Orca (1977)? But I digress)
[Update: I'm already wrong. Going to be biped and Fast!]
I think there will be minibeasties, I'm inclined to think tripple clawed, and that they either come from Mr. Grumpypants himself, or Mr. Grumpypants can somehow cause human infestation that spawns new beasties in a matter of hours/days (I don't buy slusho infection).
I think they all die, or at the very least, we are left to wonder if they all died.
I'm of the opinion that the Incredible Expanding Woman is Marlena, and that she's split open in front (how else do you maintain the symetry in the shadow?)
I think we'll hardly see anything about slusho in the movie save some fan gear.
I think the monster will be approaching at least 1.5 to 2x the height of the statue of liberty.
I'm still bothered by the earthquake at the start and what causes it, but I'm doubtful it's source will be explained in the movie.
I think the movie will do well at the boxoffice

I feel that there will be small monsters.
I feel that Rob's adventure (Read that as "life") will end under the bridge in Central park.
I feel that Rob and crew end up getting so pwned due to Rob's inability to leave Beth behind.
My .02 cents.

1. Monster has protection shell like a turtle, which he adapted from living deep in the water, can use against gunfire.
2. Smaller parasite monsters
3. Flashbacks at Coney Island scene is either at the beginning, OR throughout the entire movie in small bits (ex: I am Legend did flashbacks through out)
4. The infamous party scene in the trailer is defiantly not at the beginning, there is one or more scenes prior to it.
5. The monster does not get killed.
6.it has four legs, two in front and two in back.

I feel there will be NO mini-monsters/parasites
I feel there will only be Marines trying to contain would be heroes
I feel that the monster will not have legs only appendages
I feel that SLUSHO! only has a background role
I feel that you will all tell me "I told you so!"

[SPECS] a lot of these might be wrong but I have my reasons [PRE-CINEMATIC GUESSES]
There will be some sort of conclusion to any event surrounding Jamie and Teddy before the movie's release.
We will finally know what happened to Teddy, Randy and the TidoWave crew
The monster's origin will be fully revealed [not created but has always been here]
[CINEMATIC GUESSES]
Jamie will have a brief scene, if she has one at all- Either Jamie and Marlena arrived together, or they were supposed to meet at the party.
The monster will be fully shown halfway or 3/4's the way through the movie.
I believe Rob will have to make a really hard decision
HUD will die in the helecopter crash
The monster will have tentacles somewhere on its body
[doesn't have to be legs]
Lil could possibly be the only survivor
Rob and Beth won't die under the bridge
[POST-CINEMATIC]
The DVD will have a disc completely dedicated to the ARG and to answer all the questions we'll probably be left with.
It WILL be a cult classic
Other writers, directors, production companies will pick up on the ARG promotion/publicity

Not sure what I think.
I don't think Rob or Beth will die at all in the film
I don't think Tagruato will purposely lead the monster to New York.
I do think the monster is Tagruato's fault.
I do think we will see Lascano in a small role, at least.
I don't think it's a lion but I do think it's huge, and possibly alive.

1.No
2.Yes, but not on purpose.
3.A rally in fornt of the main Tagruato HQ.
4. Hopefully
5. Most of them... (See above answer)
6. Yes.
7.No, not an explosion.
8. No mini monsters.
9.Meh, this is the toughest question. I would have to lean tword yes.
And to throw my personal "I Told You So", I told you that the Tagruato memo was real. (Only for those who were skeptical. No hard feelings.)

This is the first time I've ever heard this called the "point" of an ARG. I thought they were about cooperation, not lording things over your friends.

I feel:
There will be no mini-grumpys.
Tagruato unleashed GP(grumpy pants)
TIDOWave tried to warn NYC.
The monster can infect you if you get its blood on you, or if you get "bitten" some how.
Government doesnt cover it up(how could they?)
Marlena goes BOOM! SPLAT!
Jaimie is not a direct character, just a viral marketing helper.
GP has two back legs, some kinda thick "Dreadlocks" like the predator(see avp-r )
And two front claws.

This is an "I told you so" to IMDB, because I don't post there anymore since it turned into middle school recess.
Right after the first teaser came out, everyone was trying to predict which movie the new trailer would come out with.
I was alone in predicting Beowolf. No one agreed with me.
I told you so.

No-one believed me when I said the horrible quiet period was just building up to a big clue, maybe even the first proper trailer. I TOLD YOU SO!
