Cloverfield Viewing Tips & Hints

I saw Cloverfield at an advanced screening on Wednesday, and last night. I won't review the movie yet, other to say it was awesome, but I'd like to offer some tips for when you go to see it.

[highlight to see spoilers]

1. You may get nauseous. I did. I didn't throw up or anything, and I was fine when I saw Blair Witch, so YMMV. The second time I saw Cloverfield, I took a non-drowsy Dramamine and I was fine.
2. Look for someone passed out on a couch at the party. It's [Jamie Lascano!]
4. Something to look for in the final scene. [When Rob and Beth are at Coney Island, look out into the ocean and you can see something fall into the water.]
3. Stay for the end credits. All the way to the end. [There is whispering at the end that sound's like Rob saying "Help Us". Someone recorded the audio and played it backwards, and it sounds like he is saying "It's Still Alive"]
4. Have Fun!

Cloverfield Premiere Auction For Charity

Two tickets to the Cloverfield premiere, plus after party, are being auctioned for charity on eBay. Proceeds of the auction go Variety's Kids, to help special needs children.

The premiere will be held on the Paramount Pictures Studios Lot on Wed, January 16, 2008 at 7:30 PM.

Note: there are some strange rules for this auction, so make sure your read everything before placing you bid. The auction ends on Saturday, Jan 12, so get you bid in quickly!

Good Luck!

UPDATE: I received this message from the woman in charge of the auction:

I just wanted to clarify that the part about Jan. 9 is obviously a typo. We got the donation and then I had to post it right away due to the fact that the premiere is next week. I was in a hurry and typed Jan 9, which isn’t even a Monday, instead of Jan. 14^th. Also, to address another question of one of your commenters, yes I treat the confidential information of our guests with the utmost care and destroy all of the information as soon as I am done with the background check. It is unfortunate that we have to do it, but the studios now require us to due to an incident that happened in 2006.
