there is supposed to be a trilogy in the works, kind of like the "original" godzilla...

btw, does anyone else think that they based "cloverfields" design on cthulhu?

it's a monster called slurpee or slushie or something like that, fell out of the sky into a nuclear leak or something. It's all over the internet.

actually its "SLUSH-O"

but i forgive you anon...

and the only thing that fell outta the sky was the Tagruato satellite, which does almost nothing for the movie, but just gives some back story.

tido wave sabotaged tagruato satellite, fell into the ocean.
when they went diving to find it they awoke the monster. there is also a secret ingredient in Slusho that comes from the bottom of the ocean.
imagine that thing was just a baby too.
end.

I'll empathize for those who are too lazy to do the research.

Tido Wave, a terrorist organization (yes, eco-terrorists are still terrorists) fuck up a satellite owned by a company named Tagruato. This satellite falls from orbit and lands in the ocean - this can be seen in the last scene of "Cloverfield" when Rob and Beth are at the carnival.

Tagruato begins to search for the satellite deep down in the ocean and uncovers an unknown substance that they later use as the main ingredient for soft-drinks produced by their new branch dubbed "SLUSH-O."

During said search, they unknowingly disturb the "Cloverfield" monster, an amphibious monstrosity which has yet to reach maturity. The Cloverfield monster moves from it's resting place towards Manhattan, taking out an off-shire drilling facility along the way. (It's theorized the reason the Cloverfield monster headed towards Manhattan was due to all the vibrations and electrical impulses/waves coming from the busy island.)

The Cloverfield monster surfaces and begins to reign his havoc on Manhattan. This is where the movie picks up.

Now for the connections:

The company Rob is traveling to Japan for is Tagruato's SLUSH-O.

It is theorized that the ingredient found by Tagruato in the deep sea search for the satellite causes victims bitten by the Cloverfield monster's parasites to explode when the saliva and/or toxins from said bite mixes with the traces of the ingredient in SLUSH-O brand products. Freeze-framing the scene where Marlena explodes, one can see that she actually expands and explodes in her abdominal region, though she was actually bitten in the shoulder. Note, however, that it is also theorized that the explosive effect may be simply directly related to the bites, as a soldier with an explosive wound in his abdominal region is seen being carted away, and that these bites are very well known to cause explosions to the military nursing staff.

Thanks. That has to be one of the most pointless storylines I've ever heard, like they rolled dice for plot points. No wonder lost is incomprehensible. It's just random shit.

It's not random shit, it's just really fucking complicated.

If you look at some of the stuff that's happened, they're beginning to hint at wormholes, exotic matter, and elements of quantum mechanics. And they're doing it scientifically accurately so far, which is rare for entertainment media, and probably why a lot of people think it's just random shit.

I enjoyed the movie up until the helicopter crash in Central Park... or more accurately, everything that happened *after* the crash, which should have killed everyone in it and the credits should have rolled. Instead we got treated to a plot hole even bigger than the monster when something supposedly the size of a skyscraper snuck up to the helicopter, NOTICED something as insignificantly tiny as a human being with a camera when previously it absentmindedly crushed tanks underfoot, and 'sort of ate him' - all in gloriously poor, intruigue destroying CGI that couldn't make up its mind whether the damn thing was skyscraper tall or about 100ft tall. Hello, Ang Lee's Hulk?

Looking at the shot in this thread, it annoys me even more as the thing has these great big fucking teeth yet there's pretty much nothing big enough for it to need to use them on when catching prey. It's part of why the biggest living creature eats the tiniest ones - Blue Whales haven't even got teeth. The Cloverfield monster is just an explosion of failure designed by comittee.

Spoiler: The Secret of Lost...
They are making it up as they go along. It's a deconstructionist endeavor. The complexities they weave in are of the data dump variety, and some of it smacks of being lifted from Wikipedia. You see the real truth of Lost is this very postmodern tidbit: The viewer is the one that is Lost. That's it in a nutshell. The writers have general story arcs and character throughlines, but essentially all the trappings of Lost are "random shit." They cannot admit this however because it would disappoint fans and ruin (reconstruct?) the deconstruction. If you're following the show closely, and you aren't in on the joke, don't be dismayed. It is more rewarding to watch when you know the secret.

Lost, however, has turned into the biggest deception on TV since the third season. But I dont know at all if jj is responsable about that shit.

I didn't like the crash and everything that followed since it seemed kind of stupid that the evacuation helicopter flew further into the city center instead of getting the fuck out - thus resulting in everyone's deaths.

Stupid helicopter pilot is the movie's true villain.

Explain then how things from early on are beginning to come together with current clues, forming multiple season arcs?

The more likely option is that there is an overall story arc happening that hasn't been fully revealed yet, because the show isn't over. It would kind of ruin it to reveal the complete story before the show was over, don't you think?

Lost = a dramatic swim through the mystery of quantum mechanics. Oh, and dimensional limitations - the 4th dimension. It seems that they're hinting towards the 4th dimension being time, hence the time travel. Many people in the real world don't agree with this, but whatever. It's coherent.

If you think Lost is random and contrived, you're a fucking idiot.

Lost is full of fucking whole. It's stupid and boring and the "time travel" angle just is turning it in to Donnie Darko. Mark my fucking words. Jack will have to die to save the world.

They're dropping huge hints to wormholes, negative energy and matter, and closed timelike curves, for people who are willing to listen.

Lost is being made up as it goes along. Who the hell takes THIS long to tell a story (and that too not even really tell the story at all), especially knowing the show can be cancelled at any time in the early stages?

Granted, they do a good job of keeping you coming back for more, but it's just like the latter seasons of the X Files.

In my opinion, the movie was ok. The ending is fucked though, I mean honestly anon, do you think a camera like that could survive shock treatment like that? Fuck no.

>>Lost is being made up as it goes along.
Truth.

Look at B5. Three story arcs at once. There was an overarching story line, but there also was a self contained story arc in each episode, and an arc every season. This is how you write properly.

Only a dumbass or an arrogant fuck would write a story that covers 8 years and has only one climax. As I don't think the writers would be that fucking stupid to think that there was no chance of cancellation when it started, but there isn't anything other than *waggle fingers* myssssstery, they're making it up as they go along. Perhaps a dozen episodes at a time, but certainly nothing far reaching.

B5 was ruined by the fact that the studios were indecisive about the final season so it was pretty much wrapped up a season too early. Final season was dull because it was more like an afterthought.
>> Anonymous
>>360223
Just because they're taking 6 seasons to tell the story doesn't mean it's being made up as they go along. You can have an outline to a story and then add details or remove them to change the length and still keep the story the same.

Hell, they could have had a contingency plan laid out depending on the success or popularity of the show after its first season, and decided to go with the longer story they actually wanted to tell once they realized they'd be allowed to.

And their glorious master plan will coincidently last just as long as the ratings garner additional seasons?

Is it really that hard to fucking understand?

It's what happens in many television series. The story goes as long as the studio thinks the ratings will support it and then it's wrapped up. That doesn't mean there isn't an overall story arc to it. Lost is just uber fucking complicated and convoluted so people think it isn't going anywhere, when in reality it is.

Of course they're going to make elements of it up as they go, you have to because you can't nail down actor or studio commitments, but you can bet that the basic plot has been pegged from very early on.

lol of course.

>It's what happens in many television series.

They're made up on a season by season basis? I agree.

>Lost is just uber fucking complicated and convoluted so people think it isn't going anywhere, when in reality it is.

Whereas your argument is ridiculously simple because you don't have one.

You want it all to be planned from the beginning? Fine, it is. And God makes rainbows just for you. And the writers totally know how they're going to end the story.

And Star Wars was totally planned from the beginning too. All of them. Every single word. Please ignore all contradictory plot elements, early scripts and concept art.

too many people are too stupid to get the story, i understand it, and can basically tell what will happen in an episode while i'm watching it...

i kind of have a sixth sense about that kind of shit...

heres an easy solution...

if you don't like what you're seeing, or hearing, then quit watching it, and leave the fucking room...

Saying "it's complicated" doesn't mean "it doesn't actually suck horsecock", you know.

Some people don't think Lost sucks simply because they're too dumb to get it, it's becuase they're smart enough to realize it's a load of bullshit being disguised as "complicated," as you put it. Enjoy your fail.

shit pissed me off. No matter where the heros/characters were the monster always seemed to show up. Brooklyn Bridge/Uptown/Central park. For instance. The bridge got destroyed the kids run into town, Rob goes nut job in the electronics store. They look at the TV and the monster is 6 blocks way, yet there is no path of destruction of how it got there. The last seen pissed me off to no end. Get out of chopper and there is a 300 ft monster standing over you and you dont seem to notice. I know of trying to fuse the characters with the horror, but FFS. I would give the movie 6/10 if forced to.
