The first half was long
It could have been much worse though
Remember Dino’s?
Look out, Steve McQueen!
It’s like Jello, but deadly
With an odd theme song
Cephalopod rage
Caused by tentacle issues
It had only six
Gorgo’s mom gets pissed
When her son is exploited
Atomic monster
By what means do they kill it?
More radiation!
It seems that the DVD release of Cloverfield is slated to hit stores near the end of April; a scant four months after its theatrical debut. Is it just me, or is that an exceptionally quick transition to home release? The official movie/DVD site has listed the features which will appear on the disc: 
I figure that the “I Saw It! It’s Alive! It’s Huge!” and the “Clover Fun” featurettes are going to amount to mostly fluff, although the “Cloverfield Visual Effects” might be an interesting watch. I can’t imagine what the alternate endings would entail, but I came up with a few:
- The creature becomes friendly and complacent after the lead characters discover a thorn stuck in its foot and pull it out.
- Godzilla comes ashore and blows the Cloverfield monster’s head off.
- Same deal as above, but with Gamera.
- Four teenagers and their talking dog discover that the monster is nothing more than elaborate hoax designed to scare New Yorkers away so as to perpetrate a real estate scam.
As my leg has healed to the point where I can actually sit with only minimal discomfort (BTW- thanks to everyone for the kinds words of concern about my recent condition, both on the comments section of this blog and in emails), I figured I’d get off my butt and start posting again. It's just as well, since Dreamworks recently revealed some information about their upcoming animated giant monster movie:
Hugh Laurie - Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.
Seth Rogen - the jellylike B.O.B.
Will Arnett - the half-ape, half-fish Missing Link
Kiefer Sutherland - General W.R. Monger
Stephen Colbert - The President
