look at all those bad robot links plastered all over that page!
you mean the site that has a link back to 1-18-08.com who is registered to paramount and was only found after characters in JJ abrams universe were sporting slusho products (including the trailer for cloverfield)?
There is always a way to link it back
But it DOES link back! I mean, didn't you see the streetsign that said CLOVERFIELD PL on it? OMG!
That being said, I'd still watch a sequel.
Legacy on
Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

it's not that cloverfield was or wasn't awful, it's just that there's nothing of interest to put into a sequel
i mean what could they really do that wouldn't just be the same formula repeated
they can't really reveal the monster again, they killed the main characters and you know any new characters aren't worth getting attached to,
The only thing they could really go into is some sort of tom-clancy esque government response which, like blair witch project 2, is just a terrible idea. I mean, I don't really care about the origin of the monster, or it's implications on the human condition, or whether or not a monster can feel love.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

See, the origins of the monster is actually what draws me most to a sequel.
Huh, I didn't think you could really make a sequel of it.
whoa, 00% on rotten tomatoes. I think I'll give it a miss.
also never read the "philosophy of time travel" book (it exists!) as the rules for time travel are so arbitrary it will upset you
I didn't think that book was real - I thought it was just a generic-sounding time travel book title that they used in the film! Oops.
it was actually fully created by the person who made the movie.
which is a very cool thing to do.
However, some parts come so far out of left field I think the film is best left to your own interpretation.
That is pretty cool to do, to go into that much depth for the film, but yeah - sounds like it'd confuse the way it's viewed though it's pretty left field as you say.
As crappy as the ARG was, it provided enough backstory for me. I wish they had actually concluded it instead of just stopping it when the DVD came out.

Like a salivating fan of Lost, I crave answers
The thing is that if that was answered you couldn't possibly be happy with the result. At the end of that path is always crap. That's why nothing ever gets answered on lost, or why we were better off not knowing that Jedi were people with special basketball genes that made them white guys who could jump, or why watching the final of BSG makes you wish they had never attempted any sort of connection to the real world.

Why would they make a sequel. Why would they be allowed to do this.
I don't think it's widely accepted at all
I enjoyed it
It's also not like they're holding a gun to your head and forcing you to watch it, OH WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO DO THIS
Yes, I know. But that was a 'oh, there's a protest for our movie! lets infiltrate!'
Not "Oh, we need promotion! I know, lets make a fake protest!"
But it DOES link back! I mean, didn't you see the streetsign that said CLOVERFIELD PL on it? OMG!

I liked most all of it.

I have no desire to see the straight to home video sequel however, as I don't want this one tainted for me.
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
I only saw this last month, when was there a sequel?
I will admit that the South Park parody of it was damn accurate to what 80% of the audience actually experiences.
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
Sequel to Donnie Darko, that is.
Make that bout three months ago.

Don't even ask, it's a total piece of shit

made by a totally different person with the only character from the first film returning being his youngest sister

Two part episode about pan-flute bands

Fact: I had never seen a pan-flute band until after I saw that episode
So when I came across one playing the Chariots of Fire theme, I cracked up
I didn't think that book was real - I thought it was just a generic-sounding time travel book title that they used in the film! Oops.

I can go both ways here.
Kinda like saying, the fucking was better than the cumming.
