I agree. That CGI was god awful. I hope it is just because they were in a rush to get the trailer together. I hope they go back and spruce the effects up better than that. But if that is the quality we can expect, I cringe at the thought of what the monster will look like. Maybe there is a reason it is getting a January release, after all...

The whole trailer looks atrocious. People are actually excited about this shit? I give up.

What exactly is it that you intend to give up ?

This is the kind of thing I'll talk about in reverence to my grandchildren.

Thank you. I know for a fact that JJ Abrams is quaking in his boots.

So it came from the ocean.

I've been trying to ignore all this viral crap, and then another piece intrigues me.

There are some very plausible rumors going around concerning what this movie is actually about. I won't post them here (they're easy to Google up on your own),

Spoiler

search on Cloverfield, Monstrous, and Behemoth

but I will say that, if they are true, they make this movie sound a whole lot more interesting than any previous theories ("Lost" movie, new Godzilla movie) did.

I liked the

Coming Soon says that the title and final trailer will unspool in front of Beowulf.

"I saw it, it's a lion it's huge!"

HUH?

Looks like I am sucker for this movie after all.

I believe that line might be, "I saw it. It's alive. It's huge!" Although a movie about a giant lion could be lots of fun. "Aslan is back. And this time, he's pissed!"

I actually hope that we never see the monster in the course of the film, but I'm probably alone in that.

Cthulhu is the first thing I thought after reading those little blurbs about gods someone posted above. As long as we're spending boatloads of money on films like King Kong they should make one like it for an epic movie based in Lovecraft's mythos.

GoldenPilgrim · #45 Post by **GoldenPilgrim** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 11:17 pm

AH yes Jeff, you are probably right. I was very excited about a huge lion blowing up New York, looks like I will have to wait at least a year for that one.

And I completely agree, seeing the monster would kill the image that everyone would create in their head. Seeing how the rest of the CGI looks, I don't have high hopes for the monster.

Unless it is some sort of meta-statement in which a terrible CG artist recently fired from the lucrative job of creating special effects for a monster movie due to their poor quality sends his misshapen creations out to destroy the real world. Only a desperately poor comic book artist, barely earning enough from his work to keep up repayments on his meagre loft apartment each month, with only enough left over for just the one blow out party each week ("Sure man, it's your birthday again!"), is able to stop this maniac by sending out his own carefully crafted hand-drawn characters into battle against the spetacular and expensive, yet poorly conceived CG!

It could be the Cool World for the modern age, with the final confrontation as the two artists face off against each other in a Boschian nightmare of pixels and ink - the final battle for the future of art will be decided tonight!

Or it could be a giant monster movie.

Man, now I know the movie will disappoint me. Hell, I'm disappointed in it already.

Yes, I really should have said it could have done what Cool World tried and failed miserably to do! (The League Of Gentlemen's Apocalypse came the closest to doing that conflict between creators and the things they create story successfully)

Ain't It Cool News has linked to chud.com's description of the contents of the longer trailer.

Turns out that Cloverfield is the actual title. Go figure. Trailer premieres in front of Beowulf tomorrow.
