V8 Beast Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Who in here has been sucked into the hype around this movie? If you dont remember, its that movie that everyone thought was about godzilla. It was in the previews before Transformers, and I am Legend. Its been months and all people know is that the movie might be about how aliens destroy New York. I got bored and read up on it last night. They did a good job of keeping the details about it a mystery, and people all over the place are obsessed with the movie now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufYF0f-zMgY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 +1 I wanna see it. Although it will probably blow a hearty goat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 +1 I wanna see it. Although it will probably blow a hearty goat. +1 It will probably blow worse than a $2 hooker with sharp teeth. Its all done as if a person was holding the camera. The shakey screen stuff might get annoying after a while, but its got my attention now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 blair witch style?...could be a good one then. I'll probably see it. Blair Witch = worst movie evar. Well, second only to the some of the made for tv movies on the science channel or whatever. "Tonight, maneating crocodiles from mars part six" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tonight, maneating crocodiles from mars part six" blair witch was ok...unique. I think a movie like this shot in the same first person style could be pretty good---if done right.

black00ws6 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I wonder if they will even show what the monster is in the movie, or just leave it to everyones imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 "Tonight, maneating crocodiles from mars part six" Actually that movie ^ would be 100 times better than Blair Witch. That was just dumb. Of course I loved all those USA "Up all Night" movies. What ever happened to just watching TV anyway? Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 From what I have heard an read the monster is based of cthulhu. http://www.phobos-deimos.com/Cthulhu/cthulhu.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Ugh.. SHaky cam when done right is good. WHen done wrong is just downright ANNOYING. They ruined one of the best fight scenes in Chronicles of Riddick with overdone shakycam. I wanted to throttle the director. Little known fact: One of the first uses of shaky cam was in "The Right Stuff" when they are showing Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier. They did this by taping a Vibrator to the camera lens!

Bigbird Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Olivia, the host of G4's "Attack of the Show", said she had a friend working on a volton movie. Then she said a few minutes later that her friend was going to be in this movie...then she wouldnt comment any more. SOOOOOO maybe its Voltron? Lol IDK seems unlikely.

Slimpsy1647545505 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I don't really think it's blair witch style. . it's atleast a somewhat interesting perspective on a war of the worlds type feel in the eye of the person experiencing it. Completely opposite from that of blair witch which was just a bunch of retarded kids camping with absolutely no budget on the movie whatsoever.

SamZman Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 If it's all first person shaky cam than I'm out. That crap gives me a headache. They did that too much in the last Borne film. Stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 [highlight]*Edit* possible spoiler alert? or maybe it's supposed to be a funny "review"? I dunno..But I noticed you've done this in atleast one other thread,and I didnt read the below post just in case. But from what I did it seems more like a summary of the movie rather than a "review".. -Sam *Edit*[/highlight] here is a review of the movie. I got to see Cloverfield Monster Goes Apeshit two weeks ago. We’ve been on double shifts at Wetzel’s Pretzels because we’re selling these goddamn frosting and cinnamon pretzels that are supposed to look like a snowman waving at you and guess what all our retarded customers like biting the heads off of? Also, the “snowmen” don’t look like snowmen – they look like fat babies that can stand up and wave, and that someone has spooged on (the frosting). But Cloverfield Monster Goes Apeshit was the perfect movie for me to get to see, because now every time one of our swamp-ass customers comes in and wants a Sal-Tee the Snowman I can imagine the Cloverfield monster biting their goddamn heads off. And yes, in the movie, the Cloverfield monster bites off some fucking heads. Only you get to see it from a way you don’t normally get to see heads getting bitten off, so basically the movie – which I’m just going to call Cloverfield for the rest of this review because typing out that long-ass title is pee-hole – basically makes other head-biting-off-movies look like Georgia Rule with a peppermint cock in its ass. The movie starts off really shitty though, with all this stuff about a young couple that’s in love, and she’s hot and he’s hot and I’m all like, “Who’s filming the Ambercrombie and Fitch catalogue?” But then it’s like the movie heard you calling it a pussy so it puts on its dick-stomping boots and then surprises your dick with a punch from a fist wearing a cock-punch glove. Things just don’t get scary – they get FUCKED UP. And I mean fucked up like the whole movie’s shot through a hand-held video camera, so you feel like this is happening to you (apparently, the video camera was recovered by the government, so at the beginning of the movie, when you’re told this, you think, “Man, something bad must’ve happened to whoever filmed this”, and you imagine a lot of shit, but then when you get to what ACTUALLY HAPPENS you’re like, “Fuck you, imagination, this was ten times worse than I thought” and then to get back at you your imagination makes you think about 2 Girls 1 Cup if Rhea Perlman and Edith Bunker were the girls) So here’s the story: a monster attacks News York City. But that’s not the fucked-up part. The monster RIPS THE LIVING SHIT out of the city, and everyone in its path. It’s like the Iraq War and Hurricane Katrina and Kathy Griffin’s vagina combined and turned into a giant murder-beast and it’s hungry for every hip person in Manhattan. Which is another cool thing about the movie – everyone that’s getting eaten are like characters you see in those annoying movies that are always on IFC and Fagdance. Movies with titles like Thinkin’ ‘Bout Being Sad and Zoe Gets a Latte and 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath and a Whole Bunch of Cock-fucks Running Their Mouths. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the giant monster starts rubbing itself on buildings, and then stuff falls off it’s gross body and crawls the fuck away – only the crawling-away stuff doesn’t stay away for long, if you know what I mean. And then – and THEN – and I mean, at this point, the movie’s like a speed freak yelling at you, as if the giant monster and the things crawling away weren’t bad enough, there’s a third, even more messed-up thing the monster can do to a person, which I won’t spoil ‘cuz it made me kind of sick and the people on this website are the kind of assholes who’d come in to the W.P. at two minutes before I have to clean the cinnamon nets and order ten Sal-Tees so fuck everyone, so maybe you’ll see it and get sick and not want a Sal-Tee and I can go the fuck home. Also, I don’t know if the movie-makers are looking for poster quotes, but this movie is like a pussy that eats YOU out. So, here’s my final thoughts: The good: Monster fucking everything sideways, creepy-crawly things fucking everything that’s still not fucked, indie movie characters getting eaten and mutilated before they can talk about coffee or e-mails or their feelings. The bad: Smarty-pants story-telling shit where the video you’re watching has un-recorded bits where you see the hero’s relationship a few weeks back, before the monster shows up. Except then there’s this final shot (from the flashback section) that’s actually kind of awesome ‘cuz it’s this very sweet, sunshine-y shot of something, except at that point you’re thinking some really bad thoughts about what the shot represents. The shitty: I had a long dream about the male star of the movie two nights after I saw this, where we both had shirts off and he was helping me do sit-ups. So fuck this movie for that part.
