The thing that no one saw...

On last weeks episode of "The Comic Book Novice" radio show we mentioned that the director of the movie "Cloverfield" Matt Reeves was quoted as saying (regarding the final shot in the aforementioned movie) "The thing about that shot is that almost nobody sees the shot, but once you see the shot and the thing in it, you'll never stop seeing it."

So with a little research, I found out what the hell he was talking about. I have yet to actually "see" the thing, but I'm sure to catch it eventually. If you click the title above it will take you to www.cloverfieldendingcredits.com where they explain the whole shebang. Basically at the end of the movie, "something" is shown dropping into the water by Coney Island. According to the site it was a satellite dropped into the ocean by the same company the lead guy was going to be VP of (what a connection!) as a viral marketing campaign (sort of like those "bombs" for the "Aqua Force" movie). Anyway the thing that they are promoting is a drink (slusho!) which made the monster (huh?) This was supposed to all be explained in the beginning of the movie (guess those 20 minutes were important after all!) as background chatter.....
