Does anyone have any clue to what the significance of the 6:42 time in the movie is? I mean it seemed to be around 6:42 am and pm a lot. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it??
 
VH1's show 'The Best Week Ever' declared the people going nuts on the internet over the teaser trailer are having the best week ever.
 
My husband and I saw it last night and it was okay. We got naceous but luckily no barfing, he didnt like the first person filming and didnt get the whole monster thing oh well. I liked the monster thought it was pretty cool looking. About the whole "he's still alive" thing I walked out of the theater at the begining of the credits and went to the bathroom which was right next to the room it was playing in and I was like wtf was that but my husband wanted to leave so I didnt get a chance to run back inso at lesat I know what was going on
 
I think it's a wonderful teaser trailer, almost as good as transformers was. It doesn't show you anything, just sparks interest.
 
I finally saw the trailer before "American Gangster." I have to say it was pretty good. :nod: I already knew of it, but it still captured my interest.

I'll go change the title of this thread to "Cloverfield" since it's now official. :)
 
The news broke of a sequel after the first week's opening numbers. It was very obvious it was going to get a sequel. It's monster movie in the city... it has limitless possibilites. But, IMO... it's not necessary, because everything that needed to be said, was in the movie. And what we didn't know made sense... because it was the only footage recovered from that day. I honestly thought the whole point was...when the footage ends, so does the movie. :lol:
 
I feel I need to see it again... with a pad and paper with a remote control to pause. :lol: Hence, I will be re-watching it alot... when it's released on DVD, definetly Blu-Ray or HD. :D
 
I heard a lot of people mention getting a headache or dizzy. I wasn't phased at all...

you've sparked by interest.....i read in one of your other posts that you've seen 'the host'.....i saw it a couple of months back in a theater....i also have it on a dvd from korea....
i really enjoyed that film....for those that don't know....'the host' is sort of kind of like a 'little miss sunshine' but this time instead of the dysfunctional family taking their little girl to a talent/beauty contest......the dysfunctional family goes looking to save their little girl from the monster whose taken her...it's funny, sad, suspenseful, it's got some seat jumping moments....and it's got a pretty good looking monster too...it sort of looks like a giant man eating tadpole....the good news is 'the host' (the korean version with english subtitles) is being released, as a dvd, later on this month in the united states....

This is what I meant about "Lost" and JJ Abrams in general.

He strings the audience along until they realize there is actually no point to anything. Nor anything entirely original in his concepts. But by then it's too late.

If this turns out to be the U.S. remake of "The Host" then my statement about originality will be even more valid. Not just for him, but the industry as a whole...
