 THE CLOVERFIELD MONSTER:

ghostbusters marshmallow man monster

I ruined the movie for myself by following all the pre-release rumors and Interweb/viral marketing for the movie before it came out, so I found out about the Cloverfield title and script release (how it was just codenamed by the date at first) and what the monster was…

… and how exactly the movie was going to be shot - which made me say no-no to the movie (I get motion sickness from hand-held type camera movement).

BUT… for those of you who have seen the movie, here is a complete analysis/hypothesis whatever of the film:

SPOILERS ABOUND (obviously):

“He’s a baby. He’s brand-new. He’s confused, disoriented and irritable. And he’s been down there in the water for thousands and thousands of years.” says J.J. Abrams.

But how and what is it?

First of all heres some background information you need to know…

Slusho is a fictional drink created by JJ Abrams and was seen in many of Abrams’ shows and films. An email was also sent from Slusho to its site members showing radar images of something approaching Manhattan. Slusho is clearly connected to JJ Abrams and Cloverfield.

From Slusho website under HISTORY:
“one fateful day, he and his teammates discovered a deep sea ingredient unique to anything else!!! While the team pondered miraculous ways to use it, Ganu had the best idea of all! Because that night he had a dream - he was a tiny fish, and a whale came and told him to drink the new ingredient. And as he did drink lots and lots of the ingredient, Ganu grew from a small fish into an enormous whale!!! He woke up with tears, he knew he had found the magic ingredient Noriko had set off to find! He decided he would make his mother’s dream live - make the tastiest drink, unlike anything on earth! Because the ingredient was discovered on the deep ocean floor, under amazing pressure, and in the most extreme cold, Ganu knew he had to serve the ingredient in a near-frozen state to preserve its freshness!!”

Robs brother was wearing a Slusho shirt. Rob was promoted to VP of a company and has a “cool job”, and has to move to Japan. CONFIRMED BELOW

From Robs Myspace:
The job is the V.P. of Marketing and Promotions for SLUSHO! brand “happy drink.” Apparently it’s all the rage in Asia. I’d be part of a team tasked with replicating the drink’s popularity in the Western world.

From Slusho website under DISTRIBUTION OPPORTUNITIES:
“Extensive research reveals that our incredibly tasty flavor mixtures would be loved throughout the West! … We are highly optimistic that the FDA and other such organizations will quickly approve our ingredient for consumption in the West. They need only look to the East to see its remarkable health benefits - it is nutritious and thrifty!”

So there is some east-west connection. Can Rob be the VP of Slusho? Anyways, back to the main point.

On the Slusho website, under HAPPY TALK, people and animals express how they feel about Slusho. But wait a second… Slusho is starting to sound like a drug.

“I no longer fidget with sadness.”
“Dear Slusho, Bring it to England Please! I Need the FLAVA! Please?!?”
“Yeeeeeeeeahaaaaa!!! Whats the notion of your upwards doings?”
“Everything is the best happy-time!! Lucky and satisfy!!!”
“Slusho the world”

“I Feel as If all thE other LiquiDs I consume are sub-par.” (NOTE: ALL CAPITAL LETTERS THAT ARENT SUPPOSED TO BE CAPITAL SPELL “FIELD”)

“Slusho makes me happy! I wann go out on a boat and drink the magic ingredient pure!”
“I can’t drink just one! They’re too cold! I get brain-freeze! Please tell me how to be like the smallest whale and drink more!”
“I drank some Slusho! last night and haven’t stopped laughing since! Thanks!”
“Slusho came to me in the night. It told me sweet secrets.”
“I can’t stop smiling!!”

Here were some wierd quotes with some commentary:
“Slusho makes my stomach explode with happy!!” (like Marlena? Remember the dead guy who gets wheeled through the shopping mall hospital who had his stomach completely exploded? I believe that what happened to Marlena and anyone who gets bit. What did she throw up? Anything important? When I watched the movie, I saw her head remain intact through the shadow, so i do not believe her head exploded like many people think.)
“Slusho has made my toes happy like the whales!!!” (Monster had toes)
“She’s one of them” (Marlena? Bitten people? now crabs? or what?)
“Why is the number six so special in regards to slusho?”
“Cranberry Crush flavour would be infectious!!!!!”
“It could be more then coincidence that the month following World Cup. Group has found that much work still needs to be done to extend the range of.”
“Slusho make good in my belly!”
“I’ve just tried your new drink and boy do I feel good, “happy” and so strong, I just cant wait to try them all. Please let me know when there will be more to taste.”

On Tagruato Website:
“…The Tagruato Lions Little League Team are victors once again! For the third straight summer, the Slusho! fueled Lions became league champs after defeating the Nishio Dragons by way of forfeit. The game was called midway through the 4th inning, with the Lions already leading 18-0 thanks to four homeruns by slugging first baseman, Fudo Goto, 11. “I hit the ball far,” said a jubilant Fudo following the game. ”

Yeah… this thing sounds like a drug… and steroids.

The spongebob squarepants episode that was playing in the electronics store was when he was really buff and strong. Spongebob is an abnormal sea creature who gets super strong… just like the cloverfield monster as explained below.

SO….

As it is hinted, Slusho is like a drink containing this “Deep Sea Nectar” which is like an addictive drug that makes things BIG and feel strong and many more things as shown above.

Something living has been feeding on this deep sea nectar all the way at the bottom of the ocean with the intense pressure and the near freezing temperatures for thousands of years. As the Slusho drink becomes more popular with hopes to start in USA, more of this deep sea nectar has to be collected. While the company was collecting this deep sea nectar closer to the US for easy importing, the place where the “Cloverfield monster” had been feeding on it and getting huge and strong and addicted, it got furious to see that something had been taking its “Crack” away from it - just like how an addict will go crazy when you take whatever away from em. It followed the Tagruato collector boat (tagruato is the company that owns Slusho) to Manhattan and… yeah.

extra info:

I stayed and listened to the whisper after the credits. It is undecipherable. Rumors have said that it says “its still alive” backwards. But what does this mean? Rob is saying this? He is still alive? Cloverfield part 2? NEW: Heres a link http://boomp3.com/m/bd034dfca370

I can confirm the “thing” coming from the sky going into the ocean during the last scene. We can confirm that it wasnt the monster because JJ Abrams said himself that the monster had been down there for thousands of years. What is it? Maybe a Slusho satellite self destructing to conceal evidence or something after they knew that it disrupted this monster that was going to attack? In the viral marketing campaign, it is said that a part fell off of a slusho satellite.

I have heard but not yet confirmed that the tanker boat on fire in the movie has the Tagruato emblem on it.

on the 1-18-08 website that shows the different pics, three of them im curious about. The “eaten” sharks (or dead clover), the pool of blood, and the nightvision battle in the ocean (but wtf is up with the bite marks? doesnt look like clover bite marks based on the shape of his mouth… but may be). Did they kill the monster? (although the whipser supposedly says “its still alive” backwards) Have they fought it before? Have they fought another one before? (I am curious if the monster that killed Hud is a different one)

On the 1-18-08 website, on the picture of the tanked being destroyed, something is blurred on the bottom of the boat. Can this be the monster attacking the boat that took his nectar?

NEW: Remember the chef on the cloverfield website? the postcard with the recipe on the back? heres the recipe. See anything interesting? I know i do.

“ody, thank you for viewing! I’ll introduce this week’s delicious recipe. Please make sure to keep this one cold!

*Skinless chicken breast - 2, cut in halves
*Soumen (a kind of japanese noodle) - 10 oz.
*Watercress - 1/2 cup cut into small strips
*Turnip - 1/2 cup, thinly sliced
*beep* (japanese mushrooms) - 1/2 cup
*Chicken stock - 1/3 cup
*Sake (japanese rice wine) - 2 tbsp.
*Sugar - 1/2 tsp.
*Deep Sean Nectar- one pinch (IMPORTANT: THIS ANOTHER CONNECTION TO SLUSHO)

In a small saucepan, stir together 1/3 cup water, chicken stock, sake, and sugar. Chill it until it becomes cold. Grill the chicken breast on both sides for about 8 minutes, and then chill. Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes, and then run under cold water until chilled. Mix the watercress, turnips, and mushrooms into the soumen. Slice the chicken thinly and arrange on top of the soumen mix. Just before you serve, put the crab in the sauce and pour over the noodles generously.

The crab spider monster things look very similar to whale lice.
