[RANT][META] Stop the Godawful Cloverfield FanFics. The whole military action hero thing has been done to death. J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves have created something that's unique and obviously works. Why would they change the formula to suit a bunch of namby pamby whiners because the handicam view makes their bellies hurt?
And for those of you who need explanations for everything that happens in a movie, please move on. I can almost assure you that you won't find anything resembling that in Cloverfield 2. Roland Emmerich surely has plenty of shitty projects in his directing future that you'll surely enjoy.
PS. And "Darwin" for the monster's name is just plan stupid.

Moved to Social / OT / Humor. Note: If you tag it [OT], [HUMOR], or [META] it should be posted in that forum to start with. - E

And Mr Grumpypants is literary genius? I'm not sure the genesis of the name, but it's a damn sight better than that retarted little gem.

I think MGP is a funny pun that describes his general caricature and was readily accepted by UF as a whole. Let's let Paramount name him, if they ever decide to.

uhm... who ever said J.J. and Co. MUST get ALL of their ideas from HERE and HERE ALONE?
Nobody.
Who ever said you MUST read ALL of the fanfics that people want to make because they ENJOY DOING IT?
Nobody.
If you don't like them, I have a simple answer to the problem. Don't Read Them. If J.J. and Co. make a sequel, they probably have their own ideas in their heads already, and all the fanfics people have fun making shouldnt change a thing.
Jeeze... are people not allowed to express their creativity?

Go to a shitty fan fic site if you want people to actually care about your gay ass stories.

I myself have never made a single fanfic.
I'm just sick of you all bitching because some people enjoy writing these. Just do yourself a favor and DONT READ THEM IF YOU DONT LIKE THEM.

Kinda hard when people are making threads like "Cloverfield 2 - Script Outline". That's a deceiving title because it should really be called "How Cloverfield 2 Will Never Turn Out Because I'm a Talentless Hack Who Writes Fan Fiction."

Because a movie that hasn't been made or written would have its script posted on uF? Or because you're gullible? Just don't read them, sheesh, get over yourself.

Let's be fair. Most of these people are of the younger persuasion. They're not hacks. They're too young. They are douches.
