Cloverfield

Apparently there was serious consideration to titling the movie 1/18/08, which would certainly have strengthened the 9/11 comparisons but would have been even more meaningless since the movie is set in April.

A thought just occured to me. When digital projection is the standard, the technology could conceivably exist so that all of the time stamps in the movie would automatically display whatever date the movie was being viewed in the theater. I can't decide if that would be cool or not.

Cloverfield was a government name like Manhattan Project for the monster or the tape... It's at the very beginning of the film.

I don't know if I believe this bit of YouTubery...
