01.16.2008 rawr, rawr!!!

I like when people send in complete stories because that way I can go back to playing Call of Duty, and this review is really good, so if you want to know exactly what happens in "Cloverfield", read this review by Octopus.  If you don't care about "Cloverfield", feel free to go play with your dolls and try on a pretty dress, you stud you.

Just got home from a preview screening of Cloverfield in Brisbane, Australia. They had some "local celebrities" (read: no-name local radio DJs) who introduced the film and told us it was supposedly the first public screening in the world. Who knows.
Anyway thought you might like to you, that fan drawn picture of the monster (drawn in black on a grey piece of paper) is actually pretty accurate. The fancy colour ones are way off. The bit that looks like ears on the drawing are big red uh, bulgy things that go in and out as it breathes, kinda like a frog. The front legs are stuck on backwards, with the knee joints sticking up much higher, so it appears to walk like a spider on the front. The face is distinctly less anthropomorphic, and flatter. Sadly I can't draw for crap so this description will have to do. Anyway he goes "rawr" a lot and people get scared. Basically imagine a giant mix between an amphibious lizard with a spidery front. And a big tail. You don't see it's bum at all in the film so nobody knows what that part looks like.

Okay, MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE SPOILERS up next.  If you don't want to know what happens, including how it ends, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER.  If you do, go here. 

01.14.2008 run for your lives!

The much anticipated "Cloverfield" opens on Friday, but it's already screened in select cities, meaning all the spoilers you could ever hope for have hit the web, even some pretty good drawings by fans of what the monster looks like.  /Film has some of the best, including the one above.  He should have had a warning with that one.  I attacked my computer with a bat I was so scared.


01.08.2008 is this the cloverfield monster?

Movieweb has what they claim is the first decent image of the monster from the mysterious upcoming movie "Cloverfield" (see the image here).  Granted it's just a picture of the toy version of the monster, but it's still a little disappointing.  It looks very much like what you might think a Hollywood monster would look like.

You might want to disbelieve, but I think this is it. It's the image you've all been waiting for. Just check out the three claws on this nasty looking thing's hand!
I know we have been running a lot of Cloverfield stories on the film's viral marketing ad campaign today, but a new image of a supposed Cloverfield monster toy has "suddenly" surfaced. And it was indeed created by Peter Konig, the art director for the film.

But you know what the real monster is?  Prejudice.
