The parasites in Cloverfield

They are pretty spidery. But technically I think they are crabs. If you don't like how spiders move, could be a problem.

I couldn't count the legs... if 8 then they are spiders, if 10 they're crabs. Judging from how they move and attack, I think they're spiders.

I think a lot of people fear things like snakes and spiders because how they move, not the specific number of legs

In this case, yeah, they move and look a lot like spiders.

They were like mini-me's of the bugs in Starship Troopers

This is very accurate. Also, the amount of time they are on screen is very minimal.

Just make sure you wear very, very short shorts. Let her have something to grab onto when she's really scared.

It's okay. Cloverfield gave me motion sickness anyway. Also: continuity errors. Clovie destroys a bridge with what appears to be his big-ass tail, and then later on in the movie it's clear he has no tail. Hmmmm.

He has long, thin arms...I thought he smashed the bridge with one of those suckers?

I liked Cloverfield...except for the scene where the camera kid looks up at Clove standing above him. That was dumb and should have been cut out.

I always say the little guys are spiders but my neighbor always says they aren't.

I thought he knocked the bridge down with his dong.

Well, that is another possibility.

As for the bridge-destroying being via arms, I could have sworn that whatever appendage destroyed the bridge was sort of wiggly and S-curvey, like a tail. His arms are most definitely jointed (in a really cool way.)

Question: Where did the title Cloverfield originate from? How does the name relate to anything in that movie?

Is this trivia?

It was the military designation. Showed up during the little blurbs in the beginning.

Cloverfield is the name of the city, post monster.

They showed that in the beginning of the "video." Pay attention.
