What with the writer's guild strike on, and many friends having waaaaaaay too much time on their hands (as well as housebound me), the intrigue surrounding the new film Cloverfield seems to be taking a Cthonic twist:

I can only plead drug-induced not-paying-attention to the postings! Thanks for that link, I don't even remember replying to it.

It would be great to see a really great HPL story come into the mainstream...one of you will have to give me a spoiler when it comes out, I still can't sit for too long. Hmmm, I might stand in the aisles for Cthulhu, though. LOL.

If it is HPL-derived, I just hope it's not by-the-numbers brainless dross.



I'm really worried it will be :(

Well, I like the director's work, and I was intrigued by the Blair Witch Project (could have done without the repetitive use of the f word though), so the same sort of concept could be fun.

"Hellboy II" pits the hero (and New York) against a cephalopod ectoplasm monster. (http://io9.com/336413/first-peek-at-glorious-freakshow-of-hellboy-ii)

Good times.

I loved the tentacles coming from the broken lens (moon) down to the earth in the first movie...can't wait for the second.

Greg,
I missed what happened to your back! I remember you saying that you were giving up construction jobs after you started doing the internet reporting thing and then saw a reference to you not working. What did you do?
