Here’s one for the Absolutely No Surprise To Anyone department. Apparently, someone noticed that Cloverfield made several metric tons of money at the box office and thus, with all that clear and original thinking that Hollywood is so famous for, decided it was time to get a sequel going.

And The Audience Gave A Disgusted Sigh and Went to Preorder Tickets

Okay, I’ll be honest. I liked Cloverfield—if there was one thing it was, it was a slam-bang knock-down action brawl extravaganza that made Godzilla look like a slow pupil. But for crying out loud, the body hasn’t even cooled yet and already we’re hearing Tinseltown shriek sequel at the top of its festering little lungs? Can we at least get the director’s cut to video first before we start plotting the next go-round?

Not That Many Options, Really.

And what can they do, anyway? We know what the Cloverfield monster is, we know what it can do, and everything else. What’s left?

Of course, there are some nifty options—maybe the Cloverfield crew could option Godzilla from Toho and send the two of them to battle it out over Tokyo. Ooooh yeah, now there’s a concept that’ll keep me up nights waiting for it to come out. A good old fashioned BRM (Big Rubbery Monster, for all of you what don’t habla) smackdown is just the kind of cinema that we’ve been lacking lately.

Crank Up The BOC and Get To the Theatres!

Course, “Whoa no, they say he’s got to go, go go Cloverfield monster” doesn’t sound nearly as good as the original. But still, I confess to being a little bit intrigued—kinda looking forward to finding out what the deal is.

And you won’t have to wait, naturally, for the Cloverfield trivia already on Kwanzoo.
