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.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
