Obviously, I’ve been a bit distracted/busy/overwhelmed of late (pick whichever strikes your fancy, all apply). I will be returning to regular posting only slowly, I’m afraid… still a bit of pressure from real life to deal with before something approximating normalcy will return.
BTW, on an utterly unrelated note, anyone else looking forward to finding out what the monster actually is in that Cloverfield movie, coming out on the 18th? I haven’t been much of a monster movie fan over time, but the refreshing POV on this one captivates me…
Anyway, just a “not dead yet” note. Type at you tomorrow…

I think it’s Godzilla

I thought the same thing. If it’s not Godzilla, it might as well be.

Yeah, I’ve been suspecting the same, as well. I was kind of hoping it was something else when I first saw the trailer a few months back… but between the mention of the “new job in Japan” and the claw marks on the Statue of Liberty at the web site… old Nuclear Breath seems rather likely at this point.

I have an alternative view on this actually…and my son HATES me for it…
I think what we will be seeing is a monster movie about the “people”, not unlike “The Host”…where the story revolves more around the peoples lives and how they are affected by the monster, than all about the “Monster”
JJ is NOTORIOUS for this…take Lost as your example..and I think we see what may be coming down the line.
Hopefully no one will be disappointed with this avenue..I even have this sinking feeling that we may not even see a monster or not until the end…
Anyone else?

Agreed, that’s actually what makes it so interesting to me, and I think it’s an inspired marketing hook, at least. It definitely won’t be a typical monster rampage film.
I do think we’ll get some glimpses. Even in the teaser clip, if you pause at the right spot during the gunfire scene, where it cuts to a view of the street they are firing down, I’m thinking I see a brief shadowy glimpse of something very Godzilla-like just moving out of view to the right.. it’s very brief and faint, perhaps just a figment of my imagination.
