My own take on the description and designs:

[Slusho Addict]

Yeah it does a bit

I haven't seen the movie yet, but by all description this is not an American Godzila. Or at least not yet.

Godzilla had a storyline. We knew what created it, where it came from, where it went, its strengths and weaknesses, its adversaries, etc...

If you look at this monster based on the movie alone, you don't know squat about it.

I'm fearful that this might go the way of Blair Witch: first movie was innovative (I didn't like it, but still), but then they attempted to try to explain things in the sequel and failed miserably. Sometimes *not* explaining things is a good thing; mystery is sometimes healthy and fulfilling.

If it wasn't for mystery, would Lost have gone as far as it has?

Anyone(SlushoAddict?) want to line up the new design pictures with the monster moving between two buildings shot to see what we were looking at all this time.

First post here, as I've been an on-and-off reader of these forums, but I feel I must comment on the MGP art designs as I have known what he looks like for quite some time now.

Some of you will think I'm lying, but basically back in November I brought up the subject of Cloverfield to two of my friends, and to my complete surprise I found out that they are involved with MGP (they do NOT work for Paramount). They opened up their work email accounts and showed me a computer generated portrait of MGP.

And from what I've seen posted in this thread, the pictures have been quite accurate. If you combine Slusho Addict's conception with the crude (but accurate) pencil drawing that is the first link in this thread, you pretty much have our monster.

The key features I remember from the picture I saw are this:
- My initial impression when I first laid eyes on MGP was that it reminded me a lot of a Rancor from Star Wars. It's face was just as ugly as a Rancor's, though slightly different. In fact, my friends said he was known as "Mr. Ugly" back at their business. I do not remember seeing any reddish lungs on the side of the head, as sadly the head is what I remember least.
- Brownish-gray skin that looked slimy/wet as it reflected light off of it
- Extremely long arms with long fingers - with those arms MGP would have no problem throwing the SoL head many, many blocks. As mentioned, these arms seemed to have an odd angle in the way they were bent.
- Large, muscular legs
- A simian-like gait. I described him to some of my friends as "a lean, monkey-like rancor with long arms"
- A growth coming out of its chest. From the images they sort of resemble vestigal claws. From what I remember seeing, it looked as if something (a new monster?) were growing out of MGP butt-first. My friends did not know what it was, as even in their circle is was a closely-shrouded secret.
- I do not remember much about a tail, but most likely it was largely hidden behinds the main body in the picture

And here are some more tidbits about Mr. Ugly (as I call him) that I was made privvy to:
- Global warming is what stirs him up from the ocean; however, as you may notice, there are hardly any aquatic features on him.
- Our monster is merely a child, or a "teenageer". It's is not a full grown adult yet, and there are others of its kind, even a mother
- It's height easily matches and surpasses msome skyscrapers (this is should be painfully obvious)

I cannot say for certain that the tidbits I just listed are truly factual, as I am just going off the word of my friends. But regardless, I saw what I saw. You may ask why I am now just saying this - I promised my friends that I wouldn't go spill the beans to everyone I knew, for their sake. Plus, I enjoyed seeing everyone speculate on what our monster looked like and I didn't want to ruin it for everyone so far out from the movie release.

That's all for now, and by this point a lot of what I just posted isn't anything new. I'm surprised at myself for holding out as long as I could on revealing this. Enjoy.
