I would be hesitant to believe anything that doesn't mention Greg Grunberg. Maybe his character was just a minuscule passerby, but how does he fit in to this?


Grunberg is not in Cloverfield. See this post:

 		poor slushomakesuhappy, he won't rest until he hears some zilla crap about this movie. Sorry man but the only tiny ray of light that can be offered to you is that maybe,just maybe, one day mgp and godzilla may duke it out, but probably not.

As someone said above, a PG-13 film can't show destruction to that extent. It would immediately call for an R-rating. I mean, the stomach and the insides are show? C'mon.


Season One of Heroes...Claire is "dead" on the coroner's table with her chest cut open and you can see her insides, and this was on TV. PG-13 can certainly show what's been described in the review.

 		I am not crying, heh, I didn't even read the "review" yet. Laughing

I'm just saying, up to this point, I've hung around this site mostly because of the logical, solid posters that have taken the time to break down every theory to the last letter. And suddenly, someone posts with no proof.. and not a lot of previous posts.. that they saw a "screening" and apparently feel free to post a review prior to the movie's release, which is probably not even allowed. Wouldn't they have to still stay quiet? Why haven't any other screening reviews come out? Why just this one?

Just seems incredibly fishy imo, and yet people are eating this up like it's the facts. Jus' saying. Razz

 		Re: Monster mouth scene?
m_talon wrote:

It's mentioned in some of LC's later posts. LC went into more detail about the appearance of the creature when it's mentioned. That base is at least covered. Now for some of the others...


Unless I read it wrong..or didn't check right (which I just went over the threads again)...That scene is not mentioned...
The notes says we get to see the inside of the mouth...not just the outside.

LC_from_The_Hills wrote:
The camera pans up to this great shot of the monsters face (with these 2, huge, bulging, red "lungs") at which the monster picks up hud, bites/kills him, sending the camera and hud falling down.

This is where my favorite shot of the movie occurred: You only see Hud lying on his back on the grass as the camera desperately tries to autofocus between him and the blades of grass in front of it.


This review says the monster grabs Hud bites his head off
and then the camera falls down on the grass with Huds body.
But, didn't the prod. notes say Hud gets eaten and the
camera gets spit out?

It's just inconsistent.
And that's the scene I'm really looking forward to seeing.
I don't know what to think anymore.
Somethings are not adding up.

I just think it's kind of funny that someone shows up out of nowhere, and posts a "review," and this board, which honestly has been skeptical of the tiniest points made thus far, seems to accept this at face value (with a few exceptions).

OP, do us a favor and take a digital photo of your tickets or some other proof you saw it, thanks! Razz


Over in the OT/Humor sub-forum, OP posted he was going to the Wednesday night screening the other day, doesn't provide anything conclusively, but this is not totally out of the blue.

Looks like the Big Green Guy is breaking one off in some choice sea-monster ass.

And the sea-monster looks like it's loving every minute of it.

 		I have been thinking about this time continuity issue between the movie and the ARG and have come to the conclusion that I think it is believable that the movie will be place in April instead of January. That is, the continuity issue should not discredit this review.

If you think about it, the trailer is released in June and JJ Abrams admits that most of the shooting has not occurred yet. they obviously were already "greenlighted" for a January release in mind. They start primary shooting in June and July.

Many movies film in the summer because there is more sunlight. Problem is that there is no snow, you have to make or use fake snow to create a winter scene, plus you have fill in breath affects with CGI in post.

So the ARG speeds off in typical Bad robot fashion when it is pointed out that it the lack of snow and cold temp will make it hard to believe that it is January in New York.

So at this point you have to look at what is least important: a flaw in an ARG that is not widely known by the public or an unexplained and improbable heat wave in New York City in the movie?

Lets be honest, for the sake of posterity, the movie has to bump its timetable. 10 years from now no one will remember a flaw in an ARG. Well, maybe the huddled masses that are in this forum will remember, but the point of an ARG is promotion and I think it is safe to say we are all going to see the movie in the theaters regardless.

Supposed to be in the high 50's tomorrow in New York City. I believe it was actually 63 recently, it would hardly be unexplained and improbable.

Building this whole thing up to January 18th, then moving it to May (Not April, please try and keep up!) is what's unexplained and improbable.

** Sorry dalphx!!

Well April for the first shot May for the rest....you are correct. I am just saying that the majority of the time it is snowing in New York during this time of year. If you are filming in July do you want to bank on it NOT snowing Jan 08 or do you bump the time table?

For the sake of argument, what would be the point of writing a fake review and shifting the time table....what purpose would that serve except give ppl fodder to debunk your theory.

 		Reeves talks about the "date"
Regarding the date. From IESB's interview of Matt Reeves:

Quote:
IESB: The date had played such a huge role in the advertising. Is it true that if you to see this on the day it comes out, 1-18-08, the date in the film is actually that date as well?

Reeves: No, that's not true. The date has become because, again, we didn't have the title in the teaser and so that was a way of letting people know what it was. I think the two ways people referred to the movie where by its codename, Cloverfield, because there was knowledge of that, and just by the date. The reveal is really what happens in the story and the way it unfolds and the sort of mysteries in that world. The date is just the date we come out and when everyone gets to see the movie.

I think you have to take the approach that while the events leading up to the attack probably occur in real time, it does not follow a specific month by month timeline. The lives of these (fictional characters in this fictional story) occur in an alternate reality, but follow the same rules of time (a day is day, week is a week)…just not specific dates. If you look over the My Space comments and other IG sites, there is rarely reference to an actual date…no "Happy Birthday" messages when it's someone's birthday, nothing about Christmas, etc.

Oh and btw, get over it everyone, this most likely a legit review….nothing to indicate its fake…while its going to be difficult to prove it 100%...the preponderance of evidence suggests this is real.

I Think Reeves is basically saynig the movie takes place on any date and htat i ahs no time. The date he is talking about is the release date. In conclusion hte movie ahs no date and the date refreed in the interview is the release date.
