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.

      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

      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.
