Lane liked it much less than I did, but his magazine's target audience doesn't have much use for sci-fi or horror films (unless they're French).As for the beast itself, well, Hollywood creatures adhere to one of two models: the Ernest Borgnine (wide, toadish, grinning) or the James Woods (vulpine, pointy-faced, unfriendly), and our chum in “Cloverfield,” with his crutchlike arrangement of limbs, springs firmly from the latter camp.

Well, I went a bit crazy with the pencils last night and drew my impression of the Cloverfield monster, aka Mr Grumpypants. I've put it up on Flickr. It's hardly gospel and I've only seen "Cloverfield" once. Still, I think I came pretty close. Official images of the "Cloverfield" monster/s are still under total lockdown, but if you really want to see a decent impression of the thing, click here.

Wow. Nothing on YouTube regarding Marathon Bars except a bunch of UK Snickers ads - they even featured the same background jingle as the Snickers ads in the USA - when said candy bar was called Marathon. Doesn't anyone care about my chocolate and caramel cultural heritage?!
To heck with the peanuts and nougat!
Thanks, Graeme. My impression of the giant is that it's primarily aquatic, with forelimbs and shoulders optimized for swimming, and that its foray onto land was opportunistic. It's a bit clumsy on land, though no less lethal for it, and the one instance we see of it going fully bipedal ends badly. (It can't stand upright on dry land, but apparently didn't know that.) After dusting itself off, it sticks to walking/crawling on four limbs.Graeme;109382 said:Oh wow! Nice sketch! So it actually looks more like a sleek quadraped? It looks more terrestrial than aquatic; mind you it could be benthic. Actually reminds me of something from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion.
