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.

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

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.

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
