J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions


Recommended Posts

Something tells me this is going to suffer from being overhyped. I'm dying to see it, but I don't think Abrams is going to pull through. Whatever the monster is, it looks an awful lot like godzilla from what we've seen. If its a new age godzilla I'd be far more happy than if he tries to create his own super monster.

?TAGRUATO IS DESTROYING OUR OCEANS!?

Well?It seems that a ?hacker? in the cloverfield game (whether this was intentional or not) has completely changed the old tagruato site to show a man with red horns looking over an ocean. Interesting?

This is not the only Tagruato update?.Remember the old site, well, it had a previous update in the investors section that stated this;

To Investors: Concerning the RRC Article

Tagruato is aware that many of you are shocked and angered over the recent article by the Ravaille Research Center. The Slusho! Board of Directors would like to assure you that the article?s claims are completely false and that there is no Seabed?s Nectar available outside their contained factories. The author of the article, Dr. Abe, is known for his suspicious research methods. In 1994 he was brought before his university?s academic board in regards to his genetic manipulation of Australian Aphynos. We have dealt with similar predators before. The article has been stripped from all subsequent issues and our legal department is currently looking into further retaliation methods. Please contact a Tagruato representative for more information on this matter.

5 pancakes search ?Ravaille research center? which lead to SFN, the original science forums. http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showpos...amp;postcount=1

The Original science forums had this to say;

Ravaille Research Center?

Hi! I?m new to the boards. You all seem very well read so I hope someone nows what I?m talking about.I?m attaching a article I found about the Slusho! drinks and the weird affect it?s having on people. I?m worried because my 2 boys drink it everyday.

Does anyone have info on the Ravaille Research Center? Are they legitimate? Does anyone have any other research on Slusho! drinks?

And this is the attached document!

1265.08.41 482

Vol. 131. 476-491Nectar (cont?d)

steady stream of print and media advertising, nutritional information [concerning]

Slusho! drink remains limited, leaving some suspicious consumers with a sour [taste]

in their mouths.

Last month, [inadvertently] coinciding with public pressure from the FDA [regarding]

plans to finally import Slusho! to the United States, my department at the [Ravaille]

Research Center realised its own preliminary study on Slusho!?s mystery [ingredient].

Despite slight food coloring changes to affect color and, in the case of [Chocolate]

Rage, texture, our tests uncovered some surprisingly recognizable culprits.

Unfortunately, due to Slusho!?s peculiar response ro traditional testing [methods]

none of these ingredients could be definitively verified. We postulate the [possible]

presence of the following: Carbonated water, glucose, sodium citrate, vitamin [C,]

D-pantothenol, citric acid, oleoresin, gelatine, sucrose, acetate isobutyrate, [phos-]

phoric acid, carob bean gum, and potassium benzoate. True to their reputation, [rep-

resentatives from Tagruato ignored our attempts at correspondence regarding [our]

findings, despite repeat phone calls, emails, and an ill-fated office visit.

None of these ingredients, on their own, send up any health-related warning [flags.]

Most are prevelant in any number of other [publicly] available beverages. [Except, of]

course, for the glaring blue whale in the room: Seabed?s Nectar (?kaitei no mitsu?),

Slusho!?s self-proclaimed ?special ingredient? and centerpiece of their prolific [adver-]

tising campaign has somehow evaded classification in any kind of [international di-]

etary database. Unfortunately for the inquiring consumer, there?s no law that [requires]

corporations to give all of the secrets of their recipes. Formulas for some of Slusho!?s

competitors have remained hidden for over a century.

Tagruato hides behind these legalities when faced with questions regarding [their]

acquisition methods and the chemical makeup of Seabed?s Nectar, claiming the [threat]

of rival companies has forced their silence. Tagruato?s successful evasion of both [gov-]

ernment and private research, however, may be costing a higher price for [consumers]

that they realize. Assuming, despite public disagreement on the subject, that [seabed?s]

Nectar does have the restorative powers that Tagruato claims in their campaigns. [Or-]

ganized research into the ingredient could lead to growth in preventative and [homeo-]

pathic medicine. Their choice to hide what could be a great benefit to the [collective]

knowledge of mankind seems both unethical and disgustingly profit-oriented.

Concerned about the wealth of information lost by Tagruato?s negligent [attitude,]

my department managed to obtain a small sample of Seabed?s Nectar. Our [conclu-]

sions are spotty at best, based on diluted specimens and poor investigative [condi-]

tions. Our findings are too consistent, however, to be discounted completely. [The]

short term exposure to the substance, some initial tests revealed accelerated [cell]

growth, increased strength, increased soft muscle tissue growth, sharper [eyesight],

better digestion. smoother skin, and a full-body, pleasant sensation that one [of our]

researchers actually described as ?a wave of pure happiness?. The rest of this [report]

will attempt to summarize our findings based on preliminary tests with [seabed?s]

Nectar and, hopefully, lay die foundation for more extensive research. We [aligned]

Our testing regimen with a current case study: the notorious documentary footage

depicting an 84-year-old woman drinking twelve large Slusho! Beverages and [lifted]

^ I got thru about half of that before my mind got up and walked out on me. What was I talking bout again? Oh yea, I looooove ice cream.

Yeah luckly I didn't type that!

I just copied and pasted but to get the summary something is being pumped into the water so what we think now...massive crab destroys NY?

or better, PENGUINS!

Btw, in Batman Begins, anyone a little curious what happened to all those people who had been affected with the gas? They kinda just left it with them all being insane.

It's one of those things isn't it we always see in films, we are just to think it solved itself out...lol

?TAGRUATO IS DESTROYING OUR OCEANS!?

Well?It seems that a ?hacker? in the cloverfield game (whether this was intentional or not) has completely changed the old tagruato site to show a man with red horns looking over an ocean. Interesting?

if you zoom in on the four animals painted on the "hacked" site, there are letters written on them. The crab has "tanner" written on it. There is a variety of crab known as the Tanner Crab. The octopus has "dumbo" written on it....there is also a dumbo octopus. The fish has ogre written on it and you guessed it there is an ogre fish also know as the fangfish. I cant really make out all the letters on the jellyfish. could use some help here. any ideas??

here is the official plot synopsis

Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.

In the new trailer there is a scene where it looks like a girl is being pulled (tug a war style) by two giant rats.

Well depending on what site you visit that woman is either:

A: Being ripped apart literally by two "smaller" versions of the main monster thingie aka The Parasite

or

B: She's infected by this Parasite monster thing and is "giving birth" (by means of being ripped apart heh) to a new Human eating flesh monster thingie.

I can't wait for this movie, it has that look that Hollywood movies have been missing for a LONG time for me. Plus, JJ is a genius in my book, and if anyone can pull off an A++ monster movie with a no name cast it is him. Not to mention that scene where the Army or Marines or whatever (couldn't really tell) are shooting at the giant thingie, looks sick.

there is? I didn't see it. I only saw the 'exploding woman' (a homage to heroes there ;).)

Look at the 1:12 mark or so in the trailer, if that's what you are mentioning. I don't see any "exploding woman" considering she's being ripped apart obviously :p

Yeah I wish they just release one promo of the creature!

Those aren't rats, those are people in biosuits.

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
