if weather has something to do with it..

here is what i think, you bring up an excellent point about the temp, however:
1. Rob came in with a jacket at the begging of the trailer, so maybe the temp was a freak occurance caused by the monster. Maybe it was cold.

2. If you were at a party, you wouldn't were a jaket. And then if you heard that noise, your first thought most likely wouldn't be, "i should get my jaket, THEN go outside." you, like every other person, would just go outside as fast as they could.

Not to shoot you down, but somethings can be thought out logically.

True, but Rob never takes off his jacket in the trailer....

However, since this came up earlier in chatting with a friend up in NY and I was intro'ing her to all this about cloverfield (she'd not heard about it), I did ask about the temps there, just to get her take on it. I had been under the impression that in January last year there was some kinda blizzard going on, something was up there but it was by no means any 60degrees at any point in January. I asked if she could find out for me what the temp was on Jan 18 this year...and she got back to me with the info a bit later.

For those of us here in Los Angeles, a temperature around 60 degrees sounds reasonable. You have to remember that set decorators and designers come up with a lot of the crap in the trailer. Everything from that green tea box that everyone swore was a hint to the on-screen newsbabe (and the temperature on the screen) are all done by a set designer. The designer probably never thought that anyone would look at the temperature, so he/she just came up with a temperature that sounded normal for those of us here in Los Angeles (because that's where the editing was done) and stuck it on there.

Once again, I wouldn't go looking for things that aren't there.

70's in January is odd, but not unheard of. Jan 7th of 2007 the temperature hit 72 during the day, and I believe was in the 60's at night.

I remember my band playing in NY back in Jan. Being from the southeast, it was cool to see proper snow for the first time in years. However, everyone was telling us that it was like the first time it snowed all winter and that a week or so before it was just as warm there as it was back in Ga, which would be up in the 70's during the day.
Still, I think there maybe was a good reason for it to be that warm.
Oh, and Rob's still rocking his coat at the party because that's the yuppie scenester thing to do...I say that knowing full well that I'm guilty of doing the same thing so maybe I'm a bit of a hypocrite

I thnk Rob's just that cool that he can pull off wearing a jacket in 60+ degree weather.
