Cloverfield Theories
For those who think they might know what happened...
Origin (theory 1) - Adrian Veidt kidnapped a group of scientists and modern artists to design and create the creature, then unleashed it into NYC as a means to end the Cold War. (News doesn't travel very fast in Antarctica)
Origin (theory 2) - My roommate thought the monster could potentially have escaped from the capsized tanker, supporting the possibility of a man-made monstrosity.
Origin (theories 3 & on) - Most other theories are mentioned in the film. I favor outer space myself.
The bugs (theory 1) - The bug creatures were spawned by the monster much in a similar way to how the 1998 Godzilla reproduced.
The bugs (theory 2) - They were parasites living on the monster.
Marlena - Speculation about Marlena's fate depends on which theory about the bugs you take to heart. In the case of theory 1, I wondered if the infant monsters could reproduce in the same way the giant did, leaving thousands of microscopic insects in her wounds to tear her apart from the inside. Favoring theory 2, the creatures bites could've been its means of reproduction, but their small size didn't cause the monster much harm.
Tough fucking monster - The monster survives mortar, missile, bomb, and nepalm attacks throughout the film, and depending on what you think happens afterwards, possibly even a nuclear strike. This guy's either got some really thick skin or he has the power to regenerate. I favor the second one, cuz I'm pretty sure I saw a limb burn off during the nepalm scene.
Any of your own?

I like the Slusho theory about waking the monster, but then what significance does the splash in the ocean at the end have? That's gotta be linked in somehow.

At the end of what? The movie or the Chuai Station vid?

You're gonna have to elaborate. I don't know what splash you mean.

Oh. my bad. At the end of the movie, when Rob and Beth are on the ferris wheel and he pans out to the ocean, you can see something fall and splash into the water. Some think it was maybe the monster, like it came from space, but others think it was a satelite that hit the monster and woke it up.

An egg from space would seem the most likely scenario, as there was about 5 days difference between that scene and the actual attack.
I'm curious to see if i can find a bootlegged copy of the film just for that last scene.

See I don't think the splash was the monster i think maybe it was just messing with us cuz if that BFM had fallen from space it would have made a big dang splash. and if that thing could sleep through the traffic over new york harbor then busted satelite pieces hitting it weren't going to wake it up.

After The Matrix, the W-brothers managed to disappoint me with consistency: Speed Racer and Ninja Assassin. Did they used up all their ideas and influences - which were are a lot (Matrix Memes) - or did they raise the bar way too high in the begin...
I was browsing Hulu trying to find something awesome when I found this show. It's a motion comic, which I thought was gonna be lame, but not so much. I've only seen one episode, so far so good. It's TV - MA, so I'm hopeful. Check it out on Hulu:
