For bonus points, it'll hopefully have folks turn into slushy bog-monsters that can maul folks and pass on slushy bog-monsteritis, or can lump together to form larger slushy bog-monsters (thus making good on incorporating the [Tagruato.jp] subsidiaries).

(That's what I hoped to see in Cloverfield, but noooo)

I think the concept makes it the scariest monster ever made ... just the fact that if you ever see a Belleen Whale in the water, you might get really think of the Cloverfield Monster and I think that's what they were going for. Make something that you could see on a regular basis, but make it horrifying and just seeing the normal thing may freak you out. I'll give them credit... I don't think I'll ever trust bellens again unless I see their whole body.

too bad we'll never really see it.

I pray to all that is holy, please don't let Cloverfield be the waste of my $10 that I Am Legend was.

That's right...I said it...I Am Legend sucked!

Man, I'm angry today. :\

The Cloverfield Monster: Thee stupidest thing to hit my eyes since Flaming Carrot.

]]> <![CDATA["Monster" Travels Through Time, Rips off Cloverfield Before Opening Day]]> Oh my god!

This movie actually has more suckatude than the original movie that its knocking off.

That's right...I said it...I believe Cloverfield is going to suck.

I'll still see it though....I suck also. :(
