*golfclap* for the most polite trouting ever, when most of us are so sick of the repeated trouts that we don't even take the time to do it anymore.

I like how on the same page melodyman responds about being kindler and gentler and then trouts someone. Very Happy

Anywho...

Just a bump for the guy pointing out the Night Skies/Watch the Skies idea. I'm still not entirely convinced this isn't related to Cloverfield... Would be mindbending if they converged, though unlikely... I mean... (proly fishing for a trout here) Was there ever any background into Cloverfield's monster? There was the satellite/thing crashing into the water at the end, and it starting to attack NY. Course...that doesn't fit with the Night Skies idea of multiple baddies and one goodie (ET/Gremlins)... Ah well, I wouldn't put it past JJ to make an entire movie seemingly different then WHAM tie it to Cloverfield. Course I was half expecting Jack to find a Rambaldi device at the bottom of the cave/waterfall/drain plug of the island on Lost. >.< I woulda Lol'd.

Bring on the inevitable fish!

JJ himself has already said that Super 8 has absolutely nothing to do with Cloverfield. Is that the answer you're looking for?

If you mean that they might be part of the same "universe," I think that's probably right... we've already seen Slusho! in everything from Cloverfield to Star Trek to Heroes... but the stories don't relate at all.

Additionally, Super 8 is set in 1979 supposedly... it would be tough for Lionel (or whatever we named the Super 8 creature) to come out of a satellite that landed in 2008 and then be in a boxcar in 1979.

^ I don't think we ever got compelling enough evidence to determine how Clover was created/waked up/etc. Did we?

And for the record, there are a few articles that say that the movie will be "set in" 1979. So, take that for what it's worth.

@filmedge: I was referring to the fact that he didn't trout b/c he was being "kindler and gentler melodyman" Smile

Ya, I'd read that before, and I don't think JJ is the type to say "well I said the trailer has nothing to do with Cloverfield..." Guess I'm just wishing for some pre-story stuff...like Cloverfield is a bioengineered weapon developed by the race of aliens in the train car...that sorta thing...I am just a bit bummed by the idea of a alien horror flick. Not sure exactly why, I just am. I think I just really REALLY want a crossover of some type...like Indy being on the train (cameo would be possible) from A51 or something along those lines. One thing I am certain of...it's time for the next clue!! >.<
