J.J. Abrams directing untitled Godzilla meets The Blair Witch Project in NYC movie?

BANTER

so good

Cringed a little at sudden appearance of mob of ethnic looters.

seemed a pretty multiculti mob to me?

maybe just me though.

i just saw this tonight. god, is this ilx's longest ever thread. waited right through the credits, it's prob been mentioned above but the payoff is "hell monster" and i really liked that. it's like, after all the speculation, it's actually a hell monster. more films should end like that. (speaking as an atheist it's comfortable to be spooked).

what do you mean? someone says hell monster?

it was probably the usher

after all the overblown music at the end. we waited because we heard there was something more after the credits and maybe it was my wishful self after 10 mins or so but it sounds like the music fades into the white noise at the end of the tape but you hear "hell monster" and then that's it, the end of the tape.

nsfw

Isn't that more like someone whispers oh my god it's full of stars or whatever but if you play it backwards he's saying it's alive? There's some unutterably tedious youtube dork explaining it all, probably linked to above if you can be bothered to wade through.

yeah is this ilx's longest film thread?

x-post.
well so what if it is? there's only ten thousand posts of such similar bollocks throughout the whole of this thread, the only thing being this was one that got in the film. jeez, sorry for not wading through twenty thousand posts of fucking about.

x-post to matt2, give it a listen, the film didn't hit me thatn hard.

I think Matt was just offering that the point had been brought up, not belittling you.

I was just talking bollocks really, "hell monster" would've been a lot better anyway.

apparently the voice is saying 'help us' but when reversed it's saying 'it's still alive'.

who talks like that??

Are you aware of Garfield = yes.

I wish the characters had more of this personality.

there was a fair bit of it, considering. like when hud mispronounces 'crevice'.

xpost
i was a little over-defensive there, blame the staropramen and my slight shame at joining the party abt a year and however-many-thousand posts too late.

I liked this film a lot.

I liked the hint that the monster was basically a take on Cthulhu. There were some bits early on where peopel went catatonic purely as a result of seeing him... kind of a shame they did not play that further.

yeah i got the cthulhu thing too. s'why i thought it said "hell monster" at the end there.

everyone at the party seemed really california, or at least not new yorkers. not sure how to explain what i mean by that

brooklyn bridge collapse was my favorite part

this movie is pretty awesome seen late at night on your own television

is it rly cause i was thinking it was gonna suck on a tiny tv at home

nope! i can't imagine it on any other format actually, especially the way it opens with color bars, test tone, etc - also it makes it harder to make out details of the beast (good thing!)

the more i think about this the more the cast seems flown in from the set of "i still know what you did last summer" - dumb, incredibly "good-looking", etc - exactly what you want from horror protagonists - but this was more than a horror movie (wasn't it?) so yeah, some interesting people wouldn't have been out of place

have you noticed what actual 22 year olds are like?

come on man i don't want to believe that

22 years from now you'll know all too well.

have you noticed what actual 22 year olds are like?

Pretty good. Works really well on a small screen.

they should do an inverted version of the movie where the monster is having a going-away party with his monster friends, and everything's cool until he gets lost on a beer run and winds up in Manhattan.

I wish every movie got announced only two months ahead of time tbh

Here is a non-bootleg version.

Budget - $5M

Forgot about Cloverfield being a quintessential post-9/11 movie, headless Statue of Liberty and all, maybe because it ended up overshadowed in 2008 by The Dark Knight.

why is this thread so long

Hated Cloverfield but this looks like it could be great, John Goodman is the best.

looks good

sounds like it was a preexisting script that they just stuck the Cloverfield name on

This was so disappointing! The first Cloverfield was brilliant - this was just awful, predictable & nothing left to the imagination...
