How soon will Cloverfield be released.....?
- Thread starter gastrof
- Start date
I wonder how many people are going to it just to see the new TREK trailer??
Not many 
I might do that.
I planned to wait for the DVD release of Cloverfield, but now I'm going to see it at the theater since the new ST trailer is coming. I know, I know, I can watch it on YouTube later. But I want to see it on the BIG screen!
I just can't wait for the HD release of the trailer.
I won't go see it right away... it looks like a headache-inducing "Godzilla meets Blair Witch Project" sort of affair... shaky-cam taken to the extreme... but if the Trek trailer doesn't turn up on the 'net in short order, I'll probably go see it.
Back in the day my buddies and I used to go to certain movies just to see the new trailer for whatever film we were really waiting for, then claim we "had to leave" and get refunds on the way out... but I don't do that kind of thing anymore.
I actually had no interest in seeing the movie 'til I saw the trailer for IT, at "I am Legend" right after Christmas.
Cloverfield has me intrigued... it looks sort of like what "Godzilla" MIGHT have been if it hadn't been played as a sitcom-level FARCE. (Of course, this might just be a "WB-level melodrama" which can be every bit as banal).
I'm intrigued enough that I'm sure I'll go watch it. Which, ultimately, is what good advertising is supposed to do. (Why am I expecting to see a Japanese man in a rubber suit, though?)

^ TRADITION ! ^
Tradtiooooooooooooon, tradition !
Why is there a fidler on the roof now ?
We need someone to cgi a zipper on the monster sometime after the film, you know, just because we can
I think if the movie starts to go downhill while i'm watching it, time to go into MST3K mode and really have fun with it, heh heh heh heh heh

* Who's been thinking about that a lot as of late, he did the same with Snakes On A Plane as it was pure cheese *

I'm more likely to go see it because of the trailer, but even with the trailer I wouldn't go see it if I thought it looked like crap.
ST:TMP is the only reason I saw "And Justice For All" in first run.

Well a lot of folks filmed the teaser for Coverfield itself back in the day, these same folks will provide the Trek teaser to the Internet at large.
I still want to see the treaser on THE BIG SCREEN !
If I have to see a cheezy monster flick afterwards I don't mind, I love cheezy films a lot, you can't have good films unless you have pure cheeze to compaire them to
Seeing a teaser shot with a really low-rez cell phone cam just isn't the same as seeing it on THE BIG SCREEN !

Right here. I have zero interest in Cloverfield, and yet I'm going to see it just for the Trek XI trailer. Wow, that's kind of sad.
I could get behind a bitchin' monster movie with great effects... a Gojira for the 21st century (although couldn't it have attacked somewhere besides freaking NYC, which I am sick up to here of seeing on screen?!?) but the fact that it's all shaky-cam "you are there" crap and more about people running and sweating and screaming and crying than about the creature and what it does completely turns me off this film.
I like my disaster/monster porn with high production values!
I will watch the movie when it comes out on DVD. It looks interesting, just not interesting enough to make me sit in a theater. The Trek XI teaser almost makes me want to go, but not quite.
I'll watch the Trek XI teaser on YouTube when it's posted five minutes after Cloverfield premiers.

Well, c'mon... everybody who lives in New York realizes that noplace really counts but there...
I actually agreed with your point. It's just ANNOYING that it's always New York. Hell, in the Godzilla remake from a few years back, they took guys from CHICAGO (Siskel and Ebert) and made one of them the mayor of New York... evidently the screenwriters couldn't envision that the "little town" of CHICAGO could possibly be home to anything but a few drunken sports fans?
Let's see... I've seen New York destroyed in:
1) Deep Impact
2) Independence Day (at least it also had the decency to destroy a few other major cities along with NY!)
3) Armageddon (if memory serves... correct me if I'm wrong on this one)
4) Godzilla
And that's not counting all the "major disasters that don't wipe out the whole city" bits... or the various post-apocalyptic films that show a destroyed and/or abandoned city (most recently "I am Legend," but really starting off with "Planet of the Apes")
It's just a common attitude with LA'er and NY'ers... those two cities make up the REAL country... everything else is just "flyover."
Now, for a film like I BELIEVE that this one will be, it almost makes sense, though... it's gotta be a major city on a coast, so that basically limits you to about a dozen cities in the US, right? (And you automatically have to leave out New Orleans... for political reasons)
I dunno... there are other cities that could use the love... I'm as sick of seeing NYC attacked by monsters and aliens and terrorists (on film OR in real life!). At least Dr. Who gives me variety... it's always London or Cardiff that's getting attacked on there!
