- TrevorBelmont, on 01/30/2008, -0/+43The thing about the tape is that through the whole movie the monster keeps yelling "Give me the tape!" and people are all like "Holy *****, what tape? We'd totally give it to you if we knew what you were talking about!" and the monster just kept saying "I want that tape!" and people kept trying to give him tapes but he'd just eat them. This one guy tried to give him a "Prince: Greatest Hits" tape and he was just like MUNCH "Give me the tape!" so this other guy was like, "Maybe it's Scotch tape he wants or some *****..." MUNCH no good. Before you can even find out what this tape is that the monster wants he gets cancer and has to go back to the ocean for chemo. You never find out what happens but that monster was a real fighter so I like to think he ended up ok.
- inactive, on 01/30/2008, -0/+27If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, it's that the characters call the video a tape and parts of it have been recorded over so in the movie there are "flashbacks" in the form of stuff that wasn't recorded over. However, in the opening credits it's called a DoD SD card (not a "tape," and an SD card wouldn't have anything recorded over anything else). I figure that the DoD put it on a card, but that's just me.

- defectDS, on 01/30/2008, -0/+17Oh Snap!
- Rndm_Tngnt, on 01/30/2008, -0/+16Because there was a digital recording near the epicenter of the blast and it was salvageable.
- modad, on 01/30/2008, -0/+15Nuclear weapons create an electromagnetic pulse, meaning that the camera and tape would not have been salvageable, regardless of debris. So, the explosion was most likely non-nuclear.

...It wasn't an A-bomb. Is this some fan thing? - dogslayeggs, on 01/30/2008, -1/+15Are you seriously comparing Cloverfield to Blair Witch? *****! Just because they both have some minimal similarities in camera style? Moron, this movie was amazing, great character introduction, amazing realism... something very new! Just because it isnt the typical hollywood ***** we see these days people knock it... Too sad.
- Dundasbro, on 01/30/2008, -1/+14Oh btw Snap kills Dumbledore.
- mortey, on 01/30/2008, -2/+14This is not official. Sounds like fan-fic
- chris9902, on 01/30/2008, -10/+22The trailer was a spoiler (seriously it's not exactly The Godfather). A monster attacks New York and some whinny bitch kids run around taping it.
- Tinu, on 01/30/2008, -2/+13I've read so much about the movie that I'm thinking about just pretending I saw it. lol. seriously though, what's this controversy about the tape? It's the one thing I don't get.
- Danelope, on 01/30/2008, -1/+12The opening card of the film says:
DOCUMENT #USGX-8810-B467
DIGITAL SD CARD
MULTIPLE SIGHTINGS OF CASE DESIGNATE
"CLOVERFIELD"
It's a government document and "DIGITAL SD CARD" refers to the medium by which this document has been delivered. It doesn't say it was FOUND on said medium.
If every piece of information in the movie indicates it's being recorded on a tape, I'd say it's pretty obvioulsy a tape. - weeman43302, on 01/30/2008, -0/+11Dude the flashbacks were there for a reason. They help build the story of the two of them.
- sevenalive, on 01/30/2008, -1/+10It was firebombs, the army guy said they would firebomb the city. Did everyone miss that detail? Go watch it again ppl.
- inaniloquent, on 01/30/2008, -0/+9I'm not even a super in deep ARG geek and I know that some facts are mixed up.
- rossmills, on 01/30/2008, -3/+11Spoilers much?
- patflex, on 01/30/2008, -0/+8The password to jamieandteddy.com/password.php is jllovesth if that's what you mean.
- pu-z, on 01/30/2008, -4/+11It wasn't a tape, but an SD card.
- MalDON, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6She's hot!
- llamagorama, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6Except the head has deep claw gouges in it and the very poster of the movie has Liberty with three giant slashes in her, more than implying it was the monster that did it.
- FunkyChicken, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6The splash is BEFORE the credits.
- sevenalive, on 01/30/2008, -0/+61. is false, it was firebombs, 2. Pure madeup fan fiction there is no name for the monster. 3. sentence in that entire post that is a fact
- defectDS, on 01/30/2008, -1/+7Burried, Reported, Blocked. Do so now.
- below413, on 01/30/2008, -1/+7****SPOILER WARNING****
What exactly went unexplained? Oil platform in the ocean digs into monster's house, monster takes out revenge on Manhattan, military goes after the monster, people run around screaming and getting stepped on, little creatures fall off the big monster (could be some sort of relationship similar to remora on sharks), little creatures bite people and then said people 'splode all over everyone (ok that part's kinda weird), kid's find and rescue friend, military is forced to bomb the area with large bombs in an effort to stop the creature, kid's get in a helicopter that proceeds to crash, then they are caught in the bombs and die, tape is recovered later and sent to the DoD for investigation. Really the only thing that goes unexplained is why people burst open after the little guys bite them...
Oh, and since when does Lost explain ANYTHING? - estacado, on 01/30/2008, -3/+8Can we have enough of Cloverfield stories, please. It is soo 2 weeks ago.
- sevenalive, on 01/30/2008, -1/+6Hell ya, I loved Cloverfield, best movie i seen. The emotion, suspense, action and drama were great. It was actually like i was watching it happen. Poor Hud. Although Rob did get everyone killed for a chick. Someday i am gonna be able to say, baby i love you so much, i would risk all my friends lives during a monster attack on the city just to spend 14 more minutes together before we both get killed.
But until that happens ill be saying, That's a Shame! (seinfeld) - nospinhere, on 01/30/2008, -0/+5ardit, with all this "hype" from digg you would have to be an idiot not to know that the whole film was just the "tape thing."
- modad, on 01/30/2008, -0/+5"So someone found the camera, salvaged the tape, transfered all footage onto a computer, copied it to an SD card, then delivered it to a government official?"
Yes. They may have also done some file conversion or compressing on the computer too before they put it on an SD card.
Knowing government bureaucratic labeling systems I would not be surprised if transportation method "TRUCK" would be used in the situation you've described. - inactive, on 01/30/2008, -1/+6At least it's not a Playstation 2 game.
- arjie, on 01/30/2008, -0/+5Wow, this description brought me flashbacks of that "I'm the Juggernaut bitch" video.
- bagboyrebel, on 01/30/2008, -0/+5buried for being bad fan-fic
- TrevorBelmont, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4They explained everything that I needed. Big monster comes outta nowhere and kills ***** EVERYTHING!
- dyckdownunder, on 01/30/2008, -1/+5I can't work out the password to the website...anybody?
- fakebooker, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4Tons of secrets and great Cloverfield discussion at this post: http://www.scene-stealers.com/blogs/spoiler-alert- ...
- dodger2020, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4It was a tape. When Rob first sees Hud filming with his camera at the party he asks him what tape he was using. It went something close to, "What tape are you using? Are you using the tape that was already in the camera?" because it was the tape of him and Beth.
- greebowarrior, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4I think you meant
"Any truly GAY monster movie..." - Shorties, on 01/30/2008, -1/+5No... Oh Snape!
- deaftly, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4and it was one kick ass ride
- Wade, on 01/30/2008, -3/+7"The A-bomb doesn’t destroy everything." [citation needed]
"Everybody calls it Colossus now." [citation needed]
"He even knocked the head off Lady Liberty" [citation needed] - FunkyPits, on 01/30/2008, -2/+5I actually had a great time at this movie and thought it was pretty good. I was a little annoyed by the lack of explanations in the end, but it didn't take that much away from it. Did anyone who saw it stay for after the credits and see the splash in the harbor by Coney Island?
- statikuz, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3Actually not creepy at all - I could have sworn the first time I watched it there was some bizarre noise in the background. Definitely time to go to bed.
- Sabretou, on 01/30/2008, -3/+6This is obviously fan-made, there are several things that are plain *****. WTF is the official Cloverfield poster doing in an ARG, why is it called a "tape" instead of the SD card, and how did it survive an A-Bomb? Also the military-esque language used is horrible immature to be used in any ARG, and the two sites at the bottom mention the "movie" explicitly - which is impossible in an ARG. Bad attempt, *****.
- sevenalive, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3No 1-4gigs will easily handle SD video for 1h 20min
- WallnutBoy, on 01/30/2008, -1/+4You get buried for stating Cloverfield as 'the best movie of 2008' in the month of JANUARY. -_-
Seriously, I loved the film but NEVER call it the best film of 2008... "First Decent Film of 2008", maybe. - cjh24, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3There seems to be some sort of misconception about the effects of EMPs, most electronics are fairly immune to them, and magnetic tape would probably not see any damage (it is not usually metallic).
- sevenalive, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3i see u have no imagnination, also these websites and crap are all fan fiction and not offical.
- iJessicaRabbit, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3Agreed. What dogslayegg3 said
Also... this article kind of sucks - tortillafactory, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2I'm pretty sure that all the links lead to actual ARG stuff that was planted by the production company. The Cloverfield Clues link at the end mentions all of it, it's from months ago and most of it was confirmed to be related to the promotion.
- inactive, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2You are a terrible marketer.
