[quote name='SBoyd415' post='419417' date='Jul 19 2007, 12:52 AM']...Who ever said as opposed to "it's dead"? Once again, she says "it's alive!" and not "it's a lion!" like you seem to be thinking. Anyways, how does a lion make sense in the apocalypse story?[/quote]The point is that there is no reason to point out that it is an animate object as opposed to an animate object. For example, if I pointed at my computer and said, "IT'S NOT ALIVE!", that would be stupid. There has to be some reason that a person would say "It's alive" or else it is just poor filmmaking. A good reason to say, "It's alive" would be if something is normally inanimate or dead, but is brought to life, like in Frankenstein. I see no reason that that someone would look up at a creature and say, "It's alive." At least "It's a lion" points out the fact that it is a specific animal.[quote name='BluffCityBlue' post='419419' date='Jul 19 2007, 12:54 AM']When the person says "its alive!", they are making it obvious that it isnt a bomb or something...its some type of living, breathing creature....its not saying "its a lion!"..[/quote]So you're saying that it's possible to mistake a bomb for a living creature? Please elaborate.[quote name='SBoyd415' post='419433' date='Jul 19 2007, 01:17 AM']Because Justice didn't know what he was talking about? [/quote]I don't know what I'm talking about? Heh.Anyway, after looking at the trailer again, they are all standing around a tv and the reporter says that there is a creature f*cking sh*t up. The camera kinda messes up, then this guy looks up and it sounds like he could be saying it's a lion. I'm not sure where anyone got it's alive from. I only read multiple places that someone says, "It's a lion." If they say otherwise, it seems to be pretty poor writing to me. It would be pretty retarded to watch a news report that tells you that something living is roaming the streets, then go outside and note that said living thing is alive. That's just me though; I don't write screenplays.Then there's the Biblical side of it... ^ Basically that is saying that a "lion" begins the apocalypse. Many Biblical scholars have thought that this could be England, as they have been known for that symbol. Note above that another one of the living creatures is a flying eagle. I'll let your mind wander with that.But I digress. My point was, that if a filmmaker decided to take the above passages literally, it would make sense to have a lion as the beginning of the apocalypse. Apparently, I don't know what I'm talking about though. I'll bow out here and let the geniuses go to work unraveling whatever "It's alive!" means.
Why couldn't someone have put this in the media-board where it belongs...ugh...anyway.... The trailer blew me away at the theatres. I hope it lives up to the hype, it looks like it's well done, the people yelling that stuff out 'it's alive' and 'it's so big' could have just been put in there to stir controversy/speculation, could have just been edited in there, who knows.http://www.movieweb.com/movies/film/53/5153/summary.php Watch the videos. :closedeyes:
Alright Justice, I get what you're saying now. You're not saying that the person said "it's a lion!" but that the woman yelling "it's alive!" indicates that it could be a lion which starts the apocalypse. I never knew that a lion began the apocalypse, but that makes a little more sense now. During the movie trailer I just presumed it was something like the gates of hell opening in the middle of New York...
I think it sounds more like "it's alive". Plus, by putting "It's a lion" in the previews, it would give away too much of the movie, and they're trying to keep it a big secret, so it wouldn't make sense IMO.

They're just trying to give the impression that it's a big secret so that people will want to find out what the secret is and become interested in the movie.

From youtube, Makes perfect sense 2 me"-There are 3 creatures in Jewish beliefs, Behemoth, Leviathon, and Ziz. There are 3 roars acomponied by an event. Behemoth, an earth creature, caused the tremors in the 1st roar. Leviathon, a sea creature, caused the explosion in the 2nd roar (since it can breathe fire). Ziz, a creature of the sky, caused Liberty's head to be chucked. The last comment was wrong. The creatures were in Jewish beliefs. I also heard that J.J Abrams was Jewish. Coincidence?"

slusho.jp is supposed 2 be realted, and there are other sites as well. Viral Marketing, like ilovebees.com with Halo 2, so confusing....
I think justice got on something. There is a website about the license plate that is still for a second when the head comes off. Then from that website there is a whereisjason website. It says that he is alright and that he is in his room. In the trailer a lady yells that "where is jason, is he still in his room?" On the whereisjason site it says it was updated with a time zone. Some time but it was in BST, which is said to be British Summer Time, going back to the biblical thing with what Justice wrote

There is no reason to reassert that the thing destroying the city is a creature (keep in mind that any idiot would realize that only a creature would screech like in the trailer even if the reporter on tv said nothing). I don't even get what you're arguing, since it's entirely impossible for someone who is paying attention to mistake the thing destroying the city for a bomb or an alien (I think it's funny that you bring up aliens, since they are living creatures anyway).

She never says the words creature or destroying. And if I found out the movie was about aliens, I would automaticly think a spaceship or something made that explosion...not an actual giant alien(which I highly doubt its an alien)....which eliminates the spaceship thing when it says "its alive!". Im not really trying to argue it isnt a giant creature of some sort, what Im saying is they might have put in "its alive!", to reassure thr audience it in fact is an giant creature.
it IS a real creature http://www.9news.com/rss/article.aspx?storyid=73653<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The source also says the sound the "creature" makes is another big clue. He says the creature is an organic, living thing.</div>
