RE:

[quote]ust a thought...

I read a post recently that had a fanboy script for the sequel. I wont comment on the script, except for that they are calling the monster MGP, only MGP stands for "Monstridae Grandis Paratism". I actually think that this would be a good name for the monster, seeing as how MGP has been what people have been so affectionately calling the monster since months before the release. I've also heard that its been called O.B.U.M, but thats mearly speculation, because i cant nail down what the O in the initials stand for, but the B.U.M stands for Big Ugly Motherfucker. Now that one is a believable name in my opinion, partly because if the Military were the ones left to name the monster, they would probably go with something like that, since they are the creators of awesome Anagrams such as F.U.B.A.R and S.N.A.F.U . Just a thought.

The O would probally stand for "Old", just a thought

no that picture of half eaten whales must meen it doesnt eat or attack them at all.

usually a PM will drop us a hint, if things aren't moving at the speed of their liking. Maybe the viral aspect is done. Nobody ever said that this would go on past the movie, just speculated. i could see it picking up again closer to the dvd release, hell i could be wrong. the manga is all we have to fill in the peices and lets face it those take some time to make. Maybe we could dig a little deeper see what comes up, maybe the
PM's will throw us some scraps, we'll just have to wait and see.

crow you got what i was saying all wrong if the monster ate whales or humans
1. Hud would of been swallowed whole and not spit back out
2. No he didnt "eat" the whales in the 1-18-08 pic, he just attacked them if he ate them there wouldnt be any evidence of whales beening attack.
3. The monster might be confused about how he eats he might think he eats with his "mouth" and doesnt understand that he has another set of smaller arms used for "sucking"(he could be a blood sucker?).

I just gotta know how we can be so positive that those are whales guys. I mean, look at the pic. What whales have you seen out there that have multiple horns on them? i dunno WHAT the hell that is that were lookin at. I know that i did read somewhere in one of Matt Reeves interviews, where the interviewer brought up the possibility that there was more than one of these things out there, and Reeves just smiled, and said that he cant confirm anything, but wouldnt that be an amazing concept, or something along those lines. So what if what were looking at is MGP himself dead and in pieces on the shoreline? i mean, in the pictures just before that, they show Tag tankers and an airstrike team blowin the hell out of something in the ocean, and then the picture after it is just a huge pool of blood in the ocean, with the boat goin over it. And then the chunks of whatever the hell that is. I just dont know man. I mean, i know at the end of the movie there is that recording that says Its Still Alive, but what if they are talking about the Monster that attacked Manhattan, but maybe there was another one just off shore, getting ready to attack, like a mamma MGP or somethin??

Please tell me you're kidding.
Here is a picture (don't think it's the source, though it may be) to clear up any confusion. Makes it rather obvious that those are NOT horns. They are very clearly fins and its mouth. I don't know how anyone can get these confused...

Just saw the movie
Cloverfield clues

Noticed that in the movie, the news broadcast of the attack (during the party) did not have the date/temperature like it showed in the trailers ... ?

Cloverfield clues
time/temp

I did, and didn't find any references to it disappearing in the movie. I know originally it was a cause of much speculation concerning the date of the release and the actual date of the events taking place, specifically the temp. Just a little surprised to see it missing in the actual movie. Just an observation...

Youtube video

I hope its ok if i post this video here.

Youtube has a good video of the scene were Hud is killed.
In this scene Hud goes back for the camcorder and he sees nothing and when he looks up there is the Monster standing right over him. The way the he didnt notice the monster and the way the monster appeared to drop down makes me think the monster can jump. Not to mention how after Hud is killed Rob and Beth run over to him like the monster is gone, maybe he leaped away.

Here is the video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kJmcwGRiKWc

Watch just when Hud looks up the monster almost steps down really hard like he dropped from the sky.

I kind of diasagree with you, you can hear the monster walking in their direction. Hud doesn't really look up, he was basically lookin for where he placed the camera. When he was running for the camera, Rob and Beth were warning him at the same time. When he turned around the monster was walkin up right over him.

After he ate hate half of Hud, that part was unclear to whether the monster flung the remaining part of Hud somewhere bcuz you see the monster's body as the camera falls. And also where was "IT" when Rob and Beth got to Hud's body and the camera. All I know for sure is that it took a while before they got to Hud.

Exactly what he said. I saw the movie again Friday and specifically watched for signs of the monster's approach, because of the way people were sayin' "How da fuck'd it sneak up on them?"

You can hear the monster's footsteps, and even see its shadow as it arrives at their location.
