Whats the crack with the secret ending?

The host started well but I fell asleep mid way through - couldn’t be arsed to watch it again.

The Secret Ending :

Apparently, you have to watch iton dvd to see it, but after the tunnel collapses with Rob and Beth inside,it cuts to them on a ferris wheel a few weeks before and it shows the sea, if you look closely you can see somthing fall in the water way off in the distance. Then after the credits have finished,someone shouts ” it’s still alive “.

I do hope It’s not just the same night from another angle. Although it would be interesting.

apparently trey parker and matt stone’s next movie is gonna be an homage to godzilla and other gaiju films. its gonna be called ‘Giant Monsters Attack Japan!’ and is basically gonna be men in rubber suits kicking each others ass. cant wait

Aye i was glad i went to see cloverfield in the cinema, some great scenes, liked the subtle shots of the ‘beast’ (whatever the fuck it was) amongst other things. dunno if will buy the dvd but. bought ‘the host’ on dvd and have only watched it once but its defo better than godzilla. as you know, a lot of people where put off by the way cloverfield was filmed as in the ‘blair witch project’, i think both these movies suffered from ‘hype’ exposure, which caused a lot of people to say they where shit just because the way they where filmed, even if they hadnt seen it! What!?

a lot of people are saying if diary of the dead came out before cloverfield it would have been a greater success, but cloverfield kinda stole its thunder by showcasing that style before it [despite blair witch originating it]
i just say diary of the dead was bollocks

oh, ive been reading lots into the secret ending and theories on the monster and stuff like that. its not so much a secret ending but rather just something really hard to spot in the real ending. in the final scene after the monster stuff with the two characters at coney island on the ferris wheel, when the camera is looking out at the ocean, if you look real close you can see something falling into the ocean at the right hand side of the shot. its not actually the monster though, its a falling japanese satellite that was referred to in the viral marketing campaign that is likely to have awoken the monster.
theres not much information about what the monster actually is, but its most likely a mutation of something. another viral marketing campaign mentions a drink called slusho [slusho is used in pretty much all of jj abrams projects], and how a secret ingredient of slusho is a kind of deep sea cactus nectar or something like that. if you go to the slusho website and and go to the history section, theres a pretty interesting story http://slusho.jp/
whatever the monster is, according to abrams its just a baby.
one more thing to note, at the end of the film theres a distorted audio, if you listen close enough you can just about make it out and it says ‘help us’ but…when the audio is reversed, it also says ‘its still alive’

anyway, time for me to go learn some more decimal places of pi

diary of the dead

I was looking forward to that coming out for *ages*… then nowhere in NI showed it ;-(

Heard it was indeed bollocks tho. Haven’t bothered looking for it online yet, heard it’s out on DVD next month anyway :-)

I was hungover at the cinema when I saw Cloverfield, and about 1/3rd of the way back so faaar too close for my own good - the hangover, effort spent on refocussing and the glaring screen/shakey-cam all came together to make me feel what I assume was abit sea-sick!

I found it to be passable, some great bits but too much to pick holes in without trying for my liking and end, well that just dragged and dragged until the funky little bit with the ferris wheel/splash in the background and so on - thought that was a good touch.

I think he meant the beginning dragged and dragged.. there’s no doubt about that. The party was a snooooore.

Nope, I meant the end and without spoiling it too much for anyone who hasn’t seen it, I recall it going something like this;

Hmmmmm, should we fucking die…no, hang on a minute, we don’t want to do that, we’re human for fuck sake! Y’know the compactable, breakable, squashable flesh and blood sort! So with that in mind - instead of dying… why don’t be the only ones who survive the improbable, just us that is, nobody else who was with us - afterall, their not in a good 90% of the film are they so fuck them, its as if they were cast to die… Oh and what a bastard stroke of shit-luck it is to find Mr Big Monster has suddenly turned up right next to us! Que disastre!

However, we can’t be soft and let that get to us, we must keep in mind that we’re the special ones so most of us will survive again… and oh look, as if by magic its fucked off and left us alone, marvelous! It seems that we’re so very, very good at surviving that even the little things that killed EVERYONE in sight earlier seem to have left us alone for some reason - why on Earth would they do that?!? Ho hum, at least they did eh? To be honest I thought we’d have been easy pickings what with our existing injuries (some of which are pretty horrific I have to say) and so we wouldn’t really do that much to defend ourselves! Right, we’ve had our monster fun so whats left to do… I know… lets fuck off over there and finally die eh? Though I do suspect that we’ll find out in the morning that its just us and the cockroaches left. Hallelujah, Lord be praised!

I think that was it, wasn’t it? :)

or the bit when the monster took its mask off and it turns out it was just lionel blair in a big rubber suit

Another movie which uses this style of filmaking ive saw advertised recently, a spanish film called ‘REC’. looks promising for a scare or two. surprised its been shown here in belfast must check it out

and bruce willis was a ghost all along…

…Sorry but Andy’s post was a bit dumb IMO. You may as well dismiss JurasicPark as ” scintifically impossible and nobody would have survied anyway ” or Independnce Day as ” completelely unfounded..theres absolutely no evience to suggest there i life on other planets, why on earth would any extraterrestrial creatures travel all the way to earth just to destroy it ? And hello ?!?! dont think a PC virus would stop an obviusly far superior race…And what the fuck are they doing flying a UFO into the mothership anyway ?”

Jaws : ” Sharks NEVER grow that big - plus its been proven they dont attack humans on purpose…furthermore - compressed air doesnt explode when shot…”

Innerspace - ” Rotating that fast wouldnt shrink a human - he would just vomit and die…Plus theres no technology available that can alter a human face…”

Star Wars : ” a long time ago in a galaxy far far away ? dont even get me STARTED on whats wrong with THAT…plus its a bit of a coincidence that all the main characters are RELATED ”
:-\ See you next week for moe of Andy’s Film Reviews.
