And yet you really want to engage in some in-depth discussion? Which is it? This is usually a cop-out some people use when they want to slag something, but by removing themselves from the "fans" they want to sidestep any counter-arguemnts. Bravo, you googled the translation. Why don't you look a little deeper next time. You see, the gaping flaw in your arguemnt is that these two things are not necessarily related. In no way would I argue that Cloverfield is a "deep" movie, when in fact it has no real pretentions of depth. But that doesn't make it a "stupid" movie. But then you contradict yourself a sentence later and attribute the subway scenes with some genuine tension, something an ostensibly stupid movie should be incapable of having. Look, expecting any growth or character development in a 75 minute slice of 4 people's lives in the midst of an all out cluster*ck is pretty naive. It's a "documentary" of people trying not to get squished. Why can't people like you be this discriminating with the truly moronic films, like AvP:R? Anyway, Comming Soon has a brief interview with director Matt Reeves: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=41100 Apparently the Coney Island splash is legit. And he has some interesting notions about what he'd do with a possible sequel.

Obviously the notion of cinema verite is completely alien to Jenius.

I'm glad that at least Eugimon gets the point of the trailer. Next topic: The factory in the T2 teaser: worthy extrapolation of Skynet technology, or childhood rape?

But...none of that is actually in the movie. Other than Beth's dad's apartment in the very, very beginning there isn't even any real reference to their parents, or what any of them other than Rob actually do for a living. I think you're making an awfully big assumption based on very very little. But then you post this ...and I know there's no real point in trying to engage you in any sort of adult conversation. Enjoy your crappy bootleg.

What exactly did they do that was worthy of spit? Edit: Ah, hatin on the rich kids. Liberals do often hate successful people (other than themselves, that is).

Judging by the leader on the film (marked US Gov't property) it seems to just be some random code-name given to either the monster and/or the incident involving it.

The premise of the sequel will be that it was filmed entirely on a cell phone, and then the video file was compressed into a 300 meg, torrent-friendly file. Enjoy!

Saw it last night, and I loved it. It's really, really short, but mainly because it discards all that "Roland Emmerich" preamble b.s. that we've all grown accustomed to. (His version of Cloverfield would have clocked in at 2:45, and not even had the monster attack until well past the 90 minute mark.) Instead, we get a brief intro the the characters, just sketching them in enough to carry us through the following 75 minutes then BAM the fit hits the shan and it's all "oh my god did you see that RUN RUN RUN! we can't go back! Jump! There's nothing more you can do for her now! oh noes, Hud!" until the credits roll. It's not a character piece, or a rom-com, or a contemplative look at man & science vs nature. Its a visceral thrill ride that puts you in the shoes of one of the poor sods running through the streets in the old Toho films, shouting "Oh no, Gojira!" Incidentally, anybody who'd say "Meh,....rent it or download it later" is only robbing themselves of seeing it on the big screen. Get yourselves a flyer route to score the $9.00 admission, because even the largest plasma screen won't have the impact of seeing it in the theater. And I can only hope that "Roar!" The Overture from Cloverfield gets released as a single at some point. It's the only music in the film, and it's a wonderful omage to the old 50's sci fi scores, minus the cheese.

Quoted for truth.

Damnation Alley, with Jan Michael Vincent and George Peppard. Edit: Ghadrack types faster than I do.

Thanks. If I get around to watching this show I may have to go back and see the final version of the pilot. For what it's worth.

It starts off in 1999, which I though was a decent enough setting. That doesn't explain their decision to move the story forward to 2007, though.

For those who saw the premiere and the leaked pilot a few months ago, were there any appreciable differences between the two?

I hope that was supposed to be a joke.

Are we getting a Terminator Animatrix? A Termanimetor, if you will?

IESB has an interview up about the Joe movie. I love how some of these questions are danced around, without any real answers being given. Basically, if you liked Transformers, you'll probably like GI Joe. However, fans of good movies will have to find entertainment elsewhere.

Yeah, I don't really remember that issue as well, but I think I saw the cover for it while looking for #45. Something to do with Flint jumping off a helicopter onto a roller coaster, I think. I really should track down a torrent for all the old Marvel comics. It'd be neat to reread them again, 20 year later.

You're kidding, right? Ripcord was not only the first Joe to get boots on the ground on Cobra Island (whilst looking for Candy's* father, The Crimson Guardsman) but he was featured in a knock-down, dragout fight with Zartan, culminating in the famous "zomg who is teh wins?" final panel cliffhanger. Then he spent another 10 issues or so under cover as Zartan. *aka Bongo the Balloon Bear

Personally, I was always partial to your short-lived 80's anime, Gunhaver JsARCLIGHT (and it's even rarer OVA spinoff, Stop! Raspberry Coat-hangers JsARCLIGHT!)

Just saw that myself. Downloading now....should be ready for me in the morning. A happy new year indeed!

I have nothing but love for this show. It was one of the first satruday morning cartoons that I can recall knowing was japanese (before I had even heard the terms anime or even japanimation). Every year or so I make a trip to all the torrent sites I have bookmarked in hopes that somebody had uploaded an episode or two, but there's never any. However, somebody has uploaded several episodes onto YouTube since the last time I looked. They're fairly decent quality too.

Chrono doesn't like something? Stop the presses! This is completely unprecedented.

Well, I thought that much was obvious. But that only answers the question in the most general sense. Are these things another AIPHOS-type device, or is it some other race harnessing the technology? Or is it some last remnant of the Protoculture themselves? Gah....so much to speculate on between now and April, and so little information to do it with.

For two such abstract designs to be so similar in the same franchise? There's no way that's a coincidence. But now....what does it mean? Interesting find, Valkyrie addict.
