hmmmm ... interesting

after a little digging I came across the commemt on a blog:

"14. Okay, folks. Listen up! If you listen carefully to the trailer you hear somebody in the crowd yell something like "Look, its a lion, its huge!" A lion? AND you know there was an allusion to Japan at the party. AND you know that it was the last preview RIGHT BEFORE Transformers began. Lion? Japan? Transformers related? Hello! VOLTRON!!!!

The line was "I saw it, it's alive, it's huge". It jumped out at me because it was delivered so horribly.

A Lovecraftian story if not done right could be really really really fucking bad. I've heard this rumor too though.

Re: 1-18-08
 

Why would Voltron be chucking a Statue of Liberty head?

I also heard 'It's a lion!' when I saw it in theaters.

Seems the title will be "Cloverfield" and the trailer will debut in front of Beowulf. Here's a description of what to expect in the 2 minutes of footage:

Yeah, maybe, But I'm not sure how it should be 'done right'. Lovecraft's literature thrived on what were almost abstract descriptions of his monsters, which gave (at least me) more of a feel for the being rather than a clear visual reprentation.

Basically, if they show any of Lovecraft's creations/ideas, they're almost bound to ruin it.

For what it's worth, I thought that trailer looked pretty cool though.

Title will also be "06-02-08" apparently, which is also the release date in France & Belgium (which a good release date here...)

That is pretty much my point. Honestly interpreting the Lovecraftian monsters literally would make then look quite silly, triagle shaped aliens, gods with octopus heads, crabmen...But what Lovecraft tried to really do with those descriptions was just to emphasize the alieness of these beings, and as there are no human words capable to describe them they are compared to familiar beings..

But anyway my favorite Lovecraft stories are not even the Cuthulu mythos ones but those like Dreams at the Witchhouse or the Shadow over Insmouth, in which normal humans slowly through the story start playing with the occult opening a world of madness that ultimately destroys them....

I used to love Krafties images until I found he was a racist fuck wit.
