I also agree that this guy is totally wrong and must have zero knowledge of the entire online campaign, but he does also explain something I've heard other people have questions over...

...and again, i agree that this is artistic license, and nothing more...

but some people have issues with how there seems to still be debri in the air around the SoL at the same time that there's the wake and the destruction to the city. One, fluid movement of something incredible massive like 'manhattan's tentacle' might explain it.

This is again if you are to disregard the fact that the poster seems to take place at dawn, counter to everything we know about the monster's attack, and when the SoL's head is actually removed. but if you are just looking to justify the contradictions of the poster itself, this theory would do.

I've expressed at other times that I do think there's something to the "it's alive" thing...mostly because of the scene in the trailer where someone is really trying, in the midst of everything, to tell Rob directly "Rob! Rob! Rob, i saw it, it's ali-"

I still find it odd, an awkward emphasis. In the context of the movie, it'll probably make more sense, possibly just playing on Rob maybe becoming the de facto leader of their little escape group.

But yeah...errr....While I would not in any way be pissed to have this monster be the island of manhattan, I find it highly unlikely.

Imagine, having this movie immediately put the word Manhattan into this alternate context...as the monster would probably just be called that. Then imagine the damage if Manhattan roamed though America, destroying everything in it's path.

I reviewed his video and frankly I'm surprised I'm the only one who has. Copy and pasted the review below

As someone who has followed the unfolding Cloverfield Drama through the viral websites such as Slusho.jp and Tagruato.jp I can tell you that you are absolutely wrong on all points. If you had even attempted to follow along with the marketing campaign JJ and his crew have been throwing at us you would know it debases your theory on all points. I bet that you are aware of that. I think you are surfing on the marketing wake from Cloverfield to promote your Rock Opera and that is it. You came up with a loose very easily made up theory with very little fact and slyly interjected little snippets and adverts about your Rock Opera . So when 01-18-08 rolls around and you find that you are wrong, which you will be on all accounts, I hope you find that your parasitic marketing siphon paid off, although if your Rock Opera is about the Brooklyn Bridge being a chain to hold the monster that IS Manhattan Island and the family who built it I fear that your Opera is already Dead in the Water.

This thread is deranged, it should be over at 'Worst Cloverfield YouTube Vids'

Okay, given a choice:

or

Manhattan is a Leviathan, people are dying, and two young people from totally different worlds find each other in the chaos. Can love prevail when tentacles rise from the upper east side?


Aaaahh hahahahahahah
Bwaaaa hahahahahaha

This guy is just trying to promote his silly opera by tying it in to Cloverfield, just ignore him.

[sOuLii]

i brought up the idea that the monster is or is part of manhatten island few weeks ago.

could explain the "i saw its alive... its huge".... i mean i would be pissed if some statue was build on top of me and smack its head of

also it would pretty much ruin your day to be smashed by the island walking trough the streets

[Nighthawk]

I'll have what he's having... It sounds groovy.

[Duckie]

ugh. I just watched a minute and a half of a guy plugging his rock opera he's been writing for almost a decade... uuuuuh. I stopped watching there. I don'[t think I missed anything good.

Wouldn't the line "I saw it! It's alive" make NO sense? Cause, you know, obviously if the island is alive, there's nowhere to run. You'd say "omfg I saw it and we're standing right on it!!! Try to fly!!!"

[casemyo]

and awe..

im right there with ya nighthawk

I concur that it is BS on all levels...But..The line, "I saw it! It's Huge! It's alive!" all make sense...The guy saw a huge tentacle...I'm sure that at that time they didn't know it was part of the city...

Still, I'm hitting my button...

Someone needs to pass that guy the bit of wisdom I heard from someone I once worked with:

Smaller rocks, farther apart.
