Just to clarify I saw the part in the extras with the stunt people and they showed the scene and yea.........Jason got pwnt by the tail. He looked up and it came crashing down taking the whole section of the bridge he was on with it.

this is like saying a guy who was shot in the head 57 times while he falls on a land mine is still alive.

I agree that he is probably dead because i doubt much could survive being crushed by that tail, but say he somehow only got a glancing blow by the tail, he definitely would go down with the bridge i agree. B ut i don't remember there being a law of physics that says, if a bridge goes down with you on it, you are dead... There's a possibility of him being alive, just not a very big one. I still think he is dead.

I killed Jason.
He survived the bridge, and then I stabbed him in the face with a soldering iron.

It wasn't a Joe Dirt reference, Christopher Walken referred to me when he uttered that priceless line.

meh, the only death of the slusho7 that we can't truly confirm would be lily.

one can argue rob and beth, but i would seriously doubt that they survived.

rob never mentions lily, and the flaming object that flies past the helicopter when they take off (i know a lot of people wondered if it was lily's chopper) was confirmed in the film to be a truck.

Even if they survived the initial blast which is highly unlikely, they couldve been under the rubble for months. They wouldnt even be able to begin recovery till Clover left, and its not like anyone knew they were down there with the tape . Places like Central Park wouldnt be first on the list, residential areas and downtown id think then the park. Who knows how long it took them to get rid of Clover for a while and start cleaning

Maybe they both survived the giant carpet bombing that took place over the area that was once known as New York, and, while buried under the rubble for months, Rob ate Lily to survive.

Chuck Norris killed the Cloverfield monster with his bare hands.

Matt Reeves has said many times that they intentionally never confirmed or denied the status of Rob and Beth. Here's one quote from http://www.mtv.ca/news/article.jhtml?id=8478

Quote:
MTV: Do Rob and Beth die?

Reeves: Basically, the only information that you have is on that tape, and the rest of it doesn't exist. Because of that, your guess is as good as mine. I have a sense as to the likelihood, but I guess one of the things that we were talking about in our minds was the idea that as long as he had gotten to her and they were together in this last moment, it was almost beside the point whether or not they lived.


He reiterates that in the extras on the DVD.

More from that article:

Quote:
MTV: What happens to Lily after she gets on the helicopter?

Reeves: In my opinion, we didn't see Lily die, so ... she got in that helicopter, and what we saw was the monster attack the helicopter that Hud and Rob and Beth were in. So does Lily live in the end? Who knows?


And...

Quote:
MTV: But it's safe to say that the odds of Lily being alive are better than the other two?

Reeves: It does seem that way. Rob and Beth would have to survive being buried alive, but such a thing has happened, so they very well could be alive. But it does seem more likely that Lily may have survived. Potentially, all will be revealed at some point, depending on the next story we do.


In other words, the fates of Lily, Rob, and Beth are ambiguous.

As far as Jason's death goes, I haven't seen anything from the DVD or interviews explicitly saying he died or lived. However, given the facts that the tail hits him or near him and the bridge span completely collapses, I think his odds are even less than the others. Plus, his apparent death is the "wake up call" every horror movie needs. A character connected to the other major players dies in order to instill the feeling that no one is safe. Having him survive in some miraculous fashion would cheapen that in my opinion.
