Ok. Yeah, I saw the Monster's mouth, but I didn't know if it just threw him up into the air, or if he was about to get eaten or what.

Do you have any news about any leaks for a continuation of Cloverfield?

EDIT: @Scotty -- Oh, no. We couldn't ruin it for you. The movie is something you have to see, no lie. Reading it and seeing it are two totally different things.

No notable leaks.
If you were wondering though, in an interview the director stated the monster was awakened, he had been living in the ocean for thousands of years. He also referred to it as a baby, if I recall correctly.

We could be pulling a John Dies At The End on Scotty. :3

Yeah, Hud mentioned something about that when they were climbing the stairs to the top of the hotels, right? Because he also said something about Scientists just now finding a fish deep in the ocean that they thought had been extinct for thousands of years.

I don't know where the next one could go, but I just hope it answers all of my questions. After finishing the movie, it felt like the first time that I beat Halo 2. So much disappointment. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

Yea it's pretty awesome. It has 'making of' stuff and some alternate endings. Sadly, all that changes is the flashback to Coney Island. :(

Beth is the one who they went to save right? Yea, she lived from the crash. Remember, shes with him under the bridge at the end.
Or, if Beth is the girl who got onto the helicopter by herself, then the movie doesnt show it.

My rant is that I didn't see cloverfield...nor do I have the desire to,
and because of this, I have no idea what is being said in these two pages.

Sadface.

I was replying to the post above me I guess he edited it.


The one with the ferris wheel? That's just another flashback from his camera when the monster is awakened.

I am so sick of society.

Why should I care about what others think about me? Why should I eat with, 'good manners,' if really, one shouldn't care about what others think of them? Why should I try not to embarrass my family when really, I don't give a hell about what anyone thinks of my family. I really just want to abandon everything. I can't take anything seriously, anymore.
Really, I always thought I was Catholic. Then, I'm taking this "Sacraments and Prayer" class that I find I'm disagreeing with many teachings. It's just crazy.
Society is so retarded. If people would actually think, it could be a lot better.
People honestly try to teach me what I should act like. Like, parents, I mean, all they want to do is make me do things the 'proper' way. I ask them, and they say, yes, I should care about what others think about me.

That idea can only bring worry and stress.
I'm sick of living the way that authorities make us. I'm sick of everything that makes up a societal life.

I was watching Into the Wild, and most of it makes sense to me. The kid just left his family, and went to go out and live in the wild. He met some people, he did some work, he lived on his own. He was independent. I totally want to go do something like that. I'm just so pissed. My parents annoy the hell out of me. I just want to get out of here. I just want to go somewhere, somewhere they have no control over what I do, somewhere where they can't contact me. I just want to freakin' live my life instead of worrying about all this crap with human relationships. It's just so dumb as to why humans are forced to go through this during their lives.

There are so many things that I want to do, but I can't, because one, with all this crap, I don't have the time. Two, I don't find myself able to actually get up the nerve to do anything. Three, I don't have my license(goddammit). Four, I'm not even positive as to what I want to do. I just want to live my life as I feel like it.

My favorite quote in the movie, Into the Wild, was "If you want something in life, reach out and grab it."
I want to do that. But what makes us happy? I've apparently lost the ability to know what makes me happy. I really don't know what I want, but I do want something, I just haven't figured it out, yet. I just want to live alone for awhile, I just wanna get out of here. School, law, debates, politicians, arguments, worry, judgment, control, power, etc. All of it is just crap. They're all fundamental aspects of society, and they bring us no happiness.
I wanna get the hell out of here.

Maybe I'm just sick of routine. Maybe I'm sick of my mom asking, "hey can I borrow your phone?" when I know that she'll have it all day. Why doesn't she freakin' get a phone that works, instead of using mine? Maybe I'm just sick of going to school every day, meeting the same people every day, and seeing them as friends, when really, there's only one person in my life who actually truly entertains me, and I won't to be with. But of course, I can't, because of what society has done to us.

I really don't know what to do. My life lacks action, lacks any dynamic element for me to appreciate. How can I appreciate life when I'm not living it? Where do I start living it? Through my own observation of human behavior, and of ideas and emotions, and just my own knowledge, I feel that I've learnt a lot about life. These things are relatively expressed in my rant. But how does one begin to live life independently? How can one break free of all the guidance and teaching needed to progress?

The idea is infuriating. Life needs to change.
