1-18-08-underground facebook account is currently underway for super 8 rendevuz.
Remember how great we really are guys, we are still second only to SLUSHO its self on the official Cloverfield myspace page!
Hey y'all, good ol' nightowl here. Well I'll be starting my freshman year of college in the next few weeks, and you know what that means! I'll be getting to know people who are much more intelligent than my current posse. I'll have more time to screw around with this site now that I'll be without a car and confined to a campus. Partying aside, I plan on getting some new peach up in here, and by that I mean someone who actually knows how to reformat and edit a website. Cuz this cloverfield gig is in need of an overhaul, dont ya think?

Currenty Listening To: Supermassive Black Hole - By Muse
In a recent Comic-Con panel, JJ Abrams talks a little about his upcoming movie and what a dream come true it is to finally be working with Steven Spielberg. That's great to hear, but now on to what everyone really wants to know. No actual footage has been shot yet.
While it is no surprise for Abrams to create a teaser trailer independently from a movie, I am surprised to hear that the movie has not begun filming and still expects to reach a Summer 2011 deadline. I am not doubting the film making abilities of JJ Abrams or Steven Spielberg, but I am slightly worried that time restraints during post-production might result in a movie that falls short of it's own potential through an overall lack of polish.
Shooting is set to start in September. Hopefully, that will be enough time to craft a polished, quality product.
On a brighter note, Abrams finally confirmed something he has been hinting at since the first interviews on Super 8.
"My favorite thing about the movie though is that someone will go to the theater and see the trailer and hopefully say, 'Oh my God, that looks bitchin' and have no idea they are starring in the movie."
I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like an amazingly fun concept for a movie. I really hope Super 8 lives up to all of it's potential.

It's been fun. However, I really feel like I won't be able to keep up with the administration abilities I'm supposed to have. This site needs someone who will keep up with the forum and to write consistently on the home page. So here's the deal; I want all members who would consider themselves a "veteran" to post in the thread linked at the bottom of this post and tell me whether you are up for the job or not.

wow
I've never really been able to dedicate myself to a cable sitcom. After watching the series finale of LOST, that still stands true. However, I feel relieved to inform you all that LOST is not a cable sitcom. It really was...no...IS more than just another show. It is a series dedicated to human curiosity. An experience that leaves the mind at the door and pulls you in by grabbing the collar that is humanity. With that said, many people are probably going to say that they saw the ending coming. I refute with a simple question. Did that really make any difference on the quality of the experience? I will not spoil anything, even if you ask me personally, because it really is an experience worth the time and dedication. The way things start; the way things happen; the way it all wraps up absolutely beautifully. I couldn't have asked for a better series than LOST.

You should be noticing a few changes in the way the forum is now organized. Now I'm leaving it up to you to decide the next change:
Keep The "Best Of" Section, Or Delete It?

A decision will be made as soon as there are enough votes to make a decision,

*UPDATE*
The section has been removed.
Today, and possibly later until I'm satisfied with the results, I will be changing a few little things in the forum. This is mostly just rearranging and cleaning up unused sections, but I might look into the forum suggestion threads too. If you have a suggestion, you can leave it HERE
