I wasn't all that impressed by the trailer.

Going away party.
Digital camera like Michael Mann.
People trying to be funny.
Lights go out.
Stature of Liberty's head.
"From Producer J.J. Abrams."
"In theatres 1-18-08."


I think people are freaking out because they didn't show the title of the movie. That's all. Otherwise, this would look like the lamest movie ever.

Instead of "That Cloverfield looks gay!! LOL!11"....we're getting, "That movie doesn't have a title! Cool! LOL!11"

I'll pass.

Are you insinuating that cloverfield is going to be about sexual orientation or that its going to have a happy tone? I must know, the secrets of cloverfield are mine to control. :cmad:

It's not a Michael Mann style digital camera, it's a handheld camera, much more like Blair Witch Project
They're trying to be funny because that's what anyone does when you're at a party and someone whips out a camera, you freeze for a second, then try and make people laugh.
There's more to it than the lights going out and the explosion, just the panic in the air being almost palpable when they go down on the streets and the "It's huge! It's alive!" is enough to get my interested in (I love giant monsters movies).

So no, I dont think it's because it doesnt have a title, and you're obviously one of those people who hates anything popular, regardless of how little is out from it. If this movie comes out and sucks, I'll admit you were right. But chances are, if it comes out and is great, you'll still be saying how gay it is because "That's the movie with no title! LOL!"
 
Well it has a no-name director with no-name actors and is MAYBE being filmed in a Blair Witch style.

30 mill should do nicely!
It has Lizzy Caplan from Mean Girls, and Mike Vogel from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poseidon and a tv show called Grounded for Life.
 
haha thatd be cool if you got something interesting back

I respect that.

However, whenever I see a movie hyped this much, at this level.... the bar is set so high, it usually doesn't deliver. It kind of reminds me of one of those "Day After Tomorrow", "End of Days" kind of things, where the campaign is more entertaining than the movie itself.

Even the early "Godzilla" campaign back in 1997, when all we saw was a giant lizard foot stepping down. It was so mysterious and kept-under-wraps, that when we finally saw it, it was a major let-down, because our brains came up with better things than what we finally saw on the screen.

The marketing campaign is so mysterious, and so well-done.... the trailer ends up being better than the movie. I've seen this a million times, and so have you.

I call "suck".
 
Message i got back from Vanny: It's worse than I thought, the Mezin have found my location and hacked into my phone.

I need to go off the grid until I can find a safe location to transmit.

If you need help finding the answers you seek, trust HAAS for the second key, it will unlock the mysteries.

Beyond that, look for other believers.

We are growing stronger everyday, there are many out there that have found the path.


Search and you will find the keys to unlock the puzzles.
 
I think JJ Abrams has delivered perhaps the best marketing strategy ever.

I saw Transformers on Friday with my swim team and the next morning at the team's meet, no one talked about TF, only about this movie. Speculation kept people hooked (Godzilla was a big theory).

But, honestly, reading through the "Ethan was right/wrong" blogs are creepy and so interesting, yet I can't stop reading. I am hooked...almost to the point where I think revealing the monster would ruin the film's appeal.
 
Oh and, quick question...

How can Ethan Haas be right and wrong?

I get it that it he somehow knew about the destruction...but what does it mean that he was wrong?
 
the website ethan haas was wrong isnt suppose to be by ethan haas but by people who dont believe him.
 
^Possibly about what the creature is? Keeps "them" and us guessing.
 
And how are people so positive about this Chtulu thing being the monster? I just see pictures for it and I don't get what connects it to the clues and preview...
 
well they say that some of the writings in both websites relate to the writings of H.P.Lovecraft who created the chtulu and i think there are other things that might connect them. I dont know.
 
everyone give SHH poster Master Chief mad props for pointing how ****ty the set-up of their forums is. :up:
 
First off thanks to superkong 500 and Mr. Socko for the info.

Secondly I find it very funny that the prophet is named Ethan Hass and the last film that JJ did was MI:III, which the main character is Ethan Hunt. Hmmmm....
 
Ok here's a crazy theory I just heard about...

If you go to 1-18-08.com, you see the two pictures. Look at the picture of the two girls. The date is 1/18/08 and the time is 12:36.

Now, someone looked up 12:36 in the Bible and searched between lines 1 and 18 and there is a paragraph about basically the devil. (Talks about life and death, etc.)

Now, if you look closely at the picture of the girls, you may be able to see a picture of a devilsh figure in teh center.

Hmmm...true, perhaps.
Crazy...yes.

Supposedly the picture of the two girls is actually the same girl, split in half.
 
or they're twins


or it's some sort of reflection
 
Okay i looked at the picture of the two girls just to see if i can see anything, well i thought i did and i want to know what you guys think i could just be wanting to see it and thats but whatever.
It looks like a face but more like a drawn face to me heres the parts i can point out.
I.- Chin
II.- Nose
III.- Forehead/Eyebrow line
IV.- Back of head
V.- Eye
EDITED: I dont know how to get a picture from my pictures document onto this.
