J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions

just wanted to bump this.. there's some new TV Spots on Cloverfield on comingsoon.net.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=40456

Saw those last night wasn't sure to post them as theres only like 2 new scenes but still looks good...film of 2008.

Watch, this film will be a total bombshell and suck big hairy monkey balls. That's what always seems to happy with these overhyped films. I hope it is as awesome as what it sounds, but it wouldn't surprise me.

overhyped would be like Transformers.. lol.. god I loved that movie.

An interesting (and unconfirmed) rumor hit our inbox moments ago claiming that JJ Abrams is maniacally obsessed with Magnolia Pictures' Korean monster movie The Host and that there are a few homages to it in Paramount Pictures' Cloverfield, which was produced by Abrams. I wouldn't be shocked if this was true... maybe we'll ask him if he let's press interview him for the release? Directed by Matt Reeves, the monster movie hits theaters January 18.

hmm, i'm having mixed feelings about this movie now. It doesn't tell you much, and seems to over hype itself just like "The Village"

All the scenes I have seen are always the same, and i'm starting to think thats the only part of the movie. Will the rest of the movie be filled with talking and an extremely boring character story line?

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I just saw an online ad for Cloverfield and it stated, "Something has found us." That suggests aliens to me. Anyone else think that too?

I haven't seen them use this wording before on any of the other ads.

Don't know how many times on this thread alone people have said Godzilla :laugh:

Yeah, I know ._. it's just when the monster is moving past one of the buildings in the start of the second trailer, when I pause it looks like a big robot leg.

is it a worldwide release on 18-01-2008 or is UK going to get a delayed by a few months release date or what, cause i CANNOT wait for this behemoth of a film

We get it in the UK, (or possibly Europe?) either very late Jan or very early Feb. So basically avoid the internet altogether between jan 18th and then! Otherwise all 'mystery' will be spoiled

Nope early Feb as Vamp said, I wish they had a Worldwide release it spoils the film.

    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
