Hmmm... 1-18-08 News revealed this weekend that a source on the Cloverfield movie set told him 'Slusho is People.' That made me reconsider my previous stance that the monster may be the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. (see proof here)
Maybe the monster is something more down to earth, more humanoid than some sea dragon or mutant whale. For that older generation you might remember a flick called "Soylent Green" staring Charlton Heston. In a crappy, near-future the source of food that many rely on is Soylent Green. The end result (Soylent Green spoiler alert) is that the food is made from people.

That little factoid and the image of the Statue of Liberty got me thinking of what power would be strong enough to conquer New York. Remember the Statue of Liberty scene from the original 'Planet of the Apes?'

Only one creature that powerful could withstand the forces to create that reality. Something with ties to Soylent Green and Lady Liberty. Yes, it's the only man strong enough to eat people, conquer a world of apes, and play Moses...it's Charlton Heston himself !!!

Anyway, that's my nutty rant for the week. Thanks for playing along and I hope you had a laugh. Remember, it's just a movie but that doesn't mean we can't have fun with it.
