ALREADY?! Cloverfield Spoiler (But Not Here)
It’s out there, one week before the film’s release. An entire Cloverfield plot revelation, complete with ending spoiler.
I’m torn, and you regular readers know it. In the world of live conversation, giving away the ending to a movie sucks. Who the hell asked you, Mr. Fanboy-Put-On-His-Best-Zit-Cream-And-Went-to-a-Screening? Nobody. But online is different.
People do ask online. They search for spoilers (and some even land at this very site, so we don’t complain.) And not just for sci-fi mayhem. I have a colleague who thinks the violence in No Country for Old Men might upset her, so she asked me to tell her the ending.
We did this with M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, so here it goes: If you must must must see the spoiler, it’s in the Forums section of unfiction. (There’s an ever-growing Cloverfield section, so our link now goes directly to the post. If you must. — Norm [1/16/08]) You’ll need to roll over the post in order to read it. So you still have time to stay away. Maybe just knowing it’s there will make you feel better.

Wait, there are still surprises to be found in the movies these days?
Seriously, because I am behind in my reading of Harry Potter books I have stumbled upon the perfect pattern for breaking the book/movie spoiler problem.
If you are interested in getting the most out of both the book and the movie, read the book 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through, then see the film. The film is “unspoiled” and still has some suspense in the final act, and you still have the energy to complete the book, if for no reason other than to see if the film took any liberties with the plot.
Again, I only discovered this because I was behind in my reading, but it leaves me more satisfied with both. May have to try this for “No Country…”

Have the energy to complete the book?! I barely have the energy to fully understand the strategy you’re describing. But for poor readers like me, I think I like it. I think.
Does it count that I read the first 20 pages of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone? It was the night before the press screening and I fell asleep.

Cloverfield Ending Credits
At the credits ending of Cloverfield, *Spoilers* the audio from the video cam says, “Help us!”. But when played backwards, it says, “It’s still alive!” This happens after the end credits of Cloverfield. Assuming the speaker was Rob, he suggests Cloverfield (the monster) is still alive. This also suggests a sequel for Cloverfield 2! *Spoilers*
The Japanese oil company TAGRUATO drops a satellite (Chimpanz III) into the ocean as part of viral marketing (shown at the end of the movie when Rob and Beth were on the ferris wheel). TAGRUATO works with SLUSHO (a slush company), as the main ingredient for SLUSHO is found at the satellite dropzone (deep ocean). While searching for satellite and ingredients, they woke Cloverfield (the monster).
The main ingredient of Slusho apparently turns a tiny fish into a HUGE whale, which explains the size of Cloverfield.
Rob apparently was going to be the Vice President of TAGRUATO in Japan.

C’mon, give us a break. How many overcaffeinated fanboys fell for this crap for Cloverfield — now you’re dishing out more of it?
Let’s say you’re right. That’d be cool, I agree. But how would you know what the tape says when played backwards?
