J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions


Recommended Posts

I think its Godzilla personally, but maybe a whole new monster too. As for it being a lion, I mean common people, he says "its alive" besides, unless Mufasa has risen from the dead I don't think its a lion.

I also would have paid to see that Trailer its incredibly unique, and if the movie is shot like that, I think it will be well worth going to see just for a chance to see some unique filming, much like Sin City was. I just hope the story lives up to the hype its generating.

Here's a slowed down version.

It should be more convincing the he says alive (uh-lyve), not lion (ly-uhn or ly-yun). There's nothing at the end of the word that makes a yun, yuh, ya, etc. sound.

Its "Alive"...has to be!!!

Yeah. If you put your head to the speaker it does sound like a "V" in "Alive".

But what does he mean? It's alive? Mainly..."It's". It appears that they have no idea what's going on, wouldn't you say "What the hell is that? It's huge!".

In a moment of panic and confusion, Wouldn't that "It's" imply something familiar? The statue? Ghostbusters again? lol

Yeah and seeing how it ripped off Statue of Libertys head it must be tall...that or its like a serpent that can wrap itself around the item...Science experiment maybe gone wrong?

I heard lion.

Can't you all see what this is?

...IT'S JESUS....He's back, And with a vengeance.

It clearly explains the fireballs (Jesus is known to shoot fireballs from his eyes), The lion mentioning (Jesus is a shape shifter...*DUH*), and the head of the statute of liberty flying off (Jesus has super strength).

:D

We just have to wait for another trailer or more details to know more.

Statue of Liberty VS. Jesus Christ statue. :p

:D

I can just see the tagline now.

*Dramatic movie guy voice* ..."Jesus is back...And he's p***ed."

..."Heads...Are ganna' roll".

:laugh:

"Just when you thought you were safe to celebrate leaving New York....THINK AGAIN!!!"

"He's back and he has 2000 years of a** kicking to commence"

That can't be the REAL Statue of Liberty head in the image and trailer, could it? It looks much to small.

We've already thrown out the Godzilla idea and have noted that it most likely isn't due to the ownership of the rights. I think it's another King Kong movie :p

I read the head you see is not supposed to be the actual Statues head. It was a smaller head on a different building, kind of like supposed to lure you in, or for decoration. Kind of like when you see giant blow up balloons tied down at car dealerships.

When you look at the statue here you can see its been ripped from under the neck so something's grabbed it that has claws...that's my assumption? Godzilla would be a good guess but I couldn't see Abram's getting the rights to it so who knows!!!

If that is so, then why is the real SoL's head blown off shown in the poster?

True. But in the video, the head doesn't seem to fly that far. And it bounces over the water, over all those buildings in the way, and lands perfectly on the street and stops? It's probably for effect, where else would it land, but it just doesn't make sense.

I wish I had photoshop... it looks like those reds and oranges are actually forming something. like there appears to be some sort of a "graph" in the clouds on the top right side(?).

That could be the reflections of the camera because I think this was taken at comic-con...

Well, now! I totally missed that poster. It is official, yes? If so, then I suppose the SoL head from the Trailer could be the real thing. Still, there are a lot of questions. How could that SoL head have been thrown that far and landed on the street so precisely? Why does it look only a tad bigger than the cars next to it? In the trailer, you see an explosion in the distance and then very shortly after, the SoL head comes flying in. Are there two monsters? How can the thing be in two places at once? Maybe it isn't...

Damn you, J.J. Abrams! So much awesomeness and yet we get absolutely nothing that tells us what kind of awesomeness it is and where the awesomeness comes from!

Oh, and I guess the King Kong idea is out. Abrams insiunated that this is a completely new and original monster. All I can think of is that it either comes from the ocean or is able to travel quickly in water and submerge itself.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
