J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions


Recommended Posts

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.

You are wrong.

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

Thanks for the info you posted, but if you look at this picture for example:

Nancy_Reagan_reopens_Statue_of_Liberty_1986.jpg

this looks bigger than that in the movie... look at the people inside the head there... there is big space i guess.

That's so photoshopped. See that one pixel? Yeah, it's 'shopped.

That isn't photoshopped. That is a real picture with Former First Lady Nancy Reagan. It is posted in the information center at Liberty Island. I remember seeing it there when I went up in the Statue myself.

Look at this photo:

I think it might be right, maybe a little off in size, but not by much. What gets me is the coloring is completely wrong. I know it is dark outside, but the head shouldn't be that dark.

C'mon, you didn't pick up on the sarcasm? It's a reference to an image about people being photoshop experts... nevermind, you ruined it :(

Sorry :(

just think if you gooutside around 3am in the morning.. yeah it would be that dark. Think if your car is parked outside, the effect is the same.

You'd still be able to see the color of the car. The Statue is a very light green to begin with, not a dark green, so even a light color car you'd still be able to see the color better than that image.

Oh, and by the way, regarding the ending:

In the end there is no cigar shaped "thing" falling into the ocean, nothing like that is seen. The only thing seen is the waves in the ocean, but no object is seen falling. So in conclusion, that could be anything.

Although yet to be confirmed, an image appeared online today of what appears to be the DVD cover art for Paramount Pictures' Cloverfield, which I cannot wait to get on Blu-ray (if the extras aren't scrapped). Read on for a look and watch for an official announcement soon. 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.

What was that then? Because their CLEARLY is something there.

One thing I thought was funny, was that no one thought to call the damn thing "Godzilla." Surely in real life, would have been like, "WTF its like a F'n Godzilla!" I found it annoying that they all avoided talking about the fact that everyone saw a huge monster, and kept asking "wth was that?"It was a F'n Monster!!! sheesh.. It was like there was an elephant in the room, quite literally almost....

I think in real life people would be to emotional to give a damn what it really is. They just want to get the hell away from it as quickly as possible without getting killed. I know I wouldn't care what it was called in those characters' situation.

My first thought would be to run away rather then talking about what he looks like :p

Paramount Home Entertainment has officially announced Cloverfield (review) on DVD, which stars Lizzy Caplan, Jessica Lucas and TJ Miller. DVD Active reports that the Matt Reeves directed monster flick will be available to own on April 22, and should retail at around $27.95. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. Extras will include a commentary by Director Matt Reeves, 4 featurettes (The Making of Cloverfield, Cloverfield Visual Effects, I Saw It! It's Alive! It's Huge, and Clover Fun), 6 additional scenes (Congrats Rob, When You're in Japan, I Call That a Date, It's Going to Hurt, Alt Ending #1, Alt Ending #2), and multiple eastereggs. There's no word on a Blu-ray release at this time, and we're told NOT to expect one right yet. BOO!

Bit Bigger Cover Plus Some More Specs!

A few weeks back a very small image appeared online with what was said to be the DVD cover art for Paramount Home Video's release of Cloverfield, the highly successful giant monster movie from January. Today it was confirmed as legit with two new images surfacing inside. The Matt Reeves directed monster flick will be available to own on April 22, and should retail at around $27.95. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. Extras will include a commentary by Director Matt Reeves, 4 featurettes (The Making of Cloverfield, Cloverfield Visual Effects, I Saw It! It's Alive!

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
