Shouldn't that be posted in the thread about seeing the movie and not the thread leading up to it? I haven't seen it yet :|

Good Point!...I just thought most people who frequented here had seen it.

Cloverfield Monster Fully Revealed

You've seen most of the Cloverfield monster in the movie, but now Hasbro has finally revealed its full figure of the creature. The limited collector's edition (only available here) features 70 points of articulation and incredible life-like detail, authentic sound, is 14" tall, includes 10 parasites, two interchangeable heads and a Statue of Liberty head accessory.

Toy Fair: Hundreds of Photos of the 'Cloverfield' Monster!

When Hasbro first revealed their toy based on the Cloverfield monster, we thought it was pretty cool, but it also looked like it was missing that "special something." Today Hasbro unveiled the toy at the New York Toy Fair and Figures.com was on hand taking hundreds of photos. Inside you'll find a look at the accessories that come with the beast, like the Statue of Liberty's head and a changeable head for the monster - too bad the giant buildings don't come with it (I don't think).

View those photos here :D

Because the big monster was there and as there no mention of any extended time you take it as it happening right thre. So its like 20 seconds after the guy gets eaten they get the camera and thus the monster would also seem to be near there....

saw it last night, WOW!

awesome film, thought the ending was pretty good,just curious as to what the Sequel view will be from.

Isnt it true that i read somewhere that the monster is only a baby, which is where the sequel could go to? the mother appears and wreaks even more havoc or some crazy stuff.

And what was it that dropped into the ocean at the end? anyone figured it out yet, as it was about a month before the actual events.

People don't always die from getting impaled

Time can pass between when a video camera records (if you press stop then a day later press record again, there's no time difference on the tape)

to be fair as much as i enjoyed it there was the odd moment as Tunafish mentions that were a bit ropey but i enjoyed the movie enough to forgive those and i think it would have been very difficult to progress the story in the style that it was done without the odd discretion.

in answer to those particular points: I think the fact that she was impaled for that long a time and they just lifted her off was a bit much, especially as 5-10 mins later she is running full pelt down the street to get away and as tuna said the fact that they took the time to go back for the camera does kind of feel forced in just to keep the story going. But as I say i can let those sort of things go as I enjoyed the film enough to and it would have been worse to just leave it there at that point.

'Cloverfield' Blu-Ray Extras to Be Scrapped?

I can't say that I've ever heard of the website reporting this news, but if it's true I really want to spread the word in hopes that Paramount will give Cloverfield the Blu-ray release it deserves. According to an unconfirmed source, the website listed inside claims that Paramount is scrapping all of the extra features planned for the giant monster movie in order to get the Blu-Ray out in time. Read on for the story and cross your fingers that this isn't true - and if it is, expect a special edition down the line (double dip!)

From Tagruato Blogspot:

A lot of people worked hard for over a month creating some amazing extra features for the HD release of "Cloverfield." At first it looked like not many consumers would see these features, as the release was planned for HD-DVD like Paramount's other recent titles. But now that Toshiba's HD-DVD format is dead, Paramount is scrambling to release "Cloverfield" on Blu-ray - on the original HD-DVD street date. As a result, the current belief is that there's not enough time to program all the extra features (including lots of new story stuff, along the lines of the viral campaign's backstory) in time for the Blu-ray release, and all this great work will be scrapped."

It's quite possible that this is completely bull****, but it's quite possible that this is true in leu of the recent announcements regarding Paramount's default to Blu-ray.

If you have noticed, the head of the Statue of Liberty is small in the movie. This is definetly a big mistake that they have done in the movie. In the movie, the head of the Statue of Liberty is as big as 2 big cars. That's ridiculous.. the real thing is so large and like 10 times bigger than that in the movie. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The head is 17 feet in height, 10 feet wide.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By thartist · Posted

      This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to train them to help sort Adobe's old spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better against Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.
