Neither is the 'better' way, god knows I think "The Constant Gardener" is the holy Grail of filmmaking, it's just two different ways to structure a story: a traditional and a non-traditional one.

| Posted by: yorrick brown at May 11, 2008, 5:36 pm | | Topic: cloverfield 2 begins Forum: JoBlo | | from bd This past Friday an envelope showed up on my doorstep, with a note inside that said "big clues" - I was a little nervous considering there was no return address, but my curiosity was killing me. I opened up the package and found a DVD inside, which I quickly stuck into my player. What I found on it blew my mind - and now I have all three videos uploaded to BDTV for you. What you'll find are three videos for the movie Cloverfield. One video carries the Slusho commercial, the other has news broadcasts from around the world that reveal the origin of the monsters attack; and the third has a web journal that teases the idea that maybe the Cloverfield monster was CREATED by Tagruato! Go watch the videos, tell me if you notice anything I am missing, or can translate any of the news videos.

Also, they didn't really travel very far either when going under the bridge. Also, if you look at the other endings on aintitcoolnews.com, on the second one, try to go to 1:55.
