Happy Anniversary (you know who you are)

What a joy it was today that Francesco Marciuliano honored us Cloverfield fans with this comic on the one year anniversary of the film's release on 1-18-08!

I know you all remember, this past Easter, Tom Wilson bid homage to our fine, dear, Mr. Grumpypants; the very same time Easter Eggs on the DVD lead us to believe the creature may be of extraterrestrial origins.









Also, in today's Funny's, Tom decided to show his dedication to J.J. by slipping in a very subtle piece:

Slusho! Slusho! Everywhere! (But, not a drop to drink)

While the face is recognizable ... The "Drink" is known only to die-hard Abrams fans.





Slusho! has been around since its first appearance on an episode of Alias in 2004 and is still growing in popularity!


A second siting of the frozen soft drink was seen during the trailer of Abrams' "mystery movie", worn by the brother of the lead protagonist, which spawned a nation-wide spread of T-Shirts, Laptops and Caps.

Televised "Heroes" fans may also remember seeing the drink referenced quite a few times.

Now, "word on the street" confirms that MTV obtained an interview with Abrams which claims Slusho! will make a brief appearance in his new Star Trek movie:

MTV: I couldn't help but notice the Slusho! reference from "Cloverfield" in the bar scene where Kirk first meets Uhura. Will we see other J.J.-isms peppered throughout the film?

J.J. Abrams: No. That was sort of the only one, and it was just sort of a goof.

"Live long and prosper."
