The Cloverfield Ending That Went Too Far For Theaters
The DVD of January's monster-smashes-NYC movie Cloverfield came out yesterday, and it includes two alternate endings of the movie, along with some deleted scenes. Here's one of the alternate endings, courtesy of Yahoo movies, including a new Coney Island scene. It's not that different, but it's worth watching to appreciate how much restraint the final edit of Cloverfield shows, since this version seems to spell things out a bit more, and is a maybe bit more over-the-top than the theatrical version. The other deleted ending includes guys digging out the camera from the rubble. [Yahoo movies, via Sliceofscifi]

Nevermind the Monster -- Cloverfield Is All About 9/11
All this rampant speculation about the Cloverfield monster has been distraction from the real thrill of the movie: Getting to watch a reenactment of 9/11 without all the scary political implications and the guilt over one's fascination with mass death. Like the disturbing original Gojira from 1954, Cloverfield is a monster movie whose purpose is nakedly therapeutic. New York must recover from the historical trauma of 9/11, and what better way than by containing its reenactment in a completely generic story whose monster-comes-to-town-monster-leaves-town narrative structure is as familiar as the fairy tales we heard as kids?

"It's Kinda of a Grayish-Yellowish-Off-White Looking Thing"
Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News attended a screening of Cloverfield tonight, and he spills it about the monster: "It has a tail, it has teeth and freaky eyes...it's kinda of a grayish-yellowish-off-white looking thing. But more important than the creature is what this fucker does. He basically goes bug-nuts." Oh, and the lice monsters? They're real.

We're Starting To Think Cloverfield Has No Monster
Paramount released another photo from the upcoming Cloverfield yesterday, and it's nothing less than completely pointless. The poster for the movie tells us loads more than the above shot featuring actors Michael Stahl-David and Mike Vogel does. But leaking irrelevant pictures is typical Hollywood behavior. Still, give us a little monster willya? More »
