[QUESTION] about cloverfeild website quiz

[cowboyfromhell]

Doesn't connect to Cloverfield at all.I think it was just a nod at Carpenter for bein an icon of the horror genre.I mean if I was a director,I'd have to give props to him.He gave us Michael Myers,The Thing (my personal favorite Carpenter movie),Escape From New York,They Live (rediculously awesome long fight seen with Roddy Piper and Keith David), and Assault on Pecinct 13.He's payin his respects.

ha ok that makes sense i guess

i dont really consider monster movies horror though....

The statue of liberty scene(the head being tossed) was inspired by the poster for Escape From New York, I think. So yeah, it probably is just a nod in Carpenter's direction.

I go with the opinion that is paying props to JC. Although there is some of that "six degrees of separation" stuff going on. Some early theories that Cloverfield may have been a sequel to the thing. Feel free to look up the reasons. Some things were because we heard about parasites, cold weather, infections, aliens, mutated things etc. Well then, Kurt Russel was in The Thing. He was also in Escape from New York which was an inspiration for the Statue of Libery head shot.

So maybe Cloverfield 2 will have Kurt Russel fighting Lo Pan reincarnated as MGP in Little China?
