Two movie trailers i just saw the other day are The Last House and the The End of Oak Street. My first thought other than "Cool, dinosaurs." Was that these scripts had to be developed in 20/21.

Locked in a house with just family, talking with handwritten signs put on windows, outside is dangerous, etc.

Those two are really obvious. Anyone seen any others coming out?

The stompy stompy then rarwr dino movies are a ridiculous trope I wish would end.

Yes, they were big, but we don't know if they even COULD roar. Plus, predators don't loudly announce themselves before they attack.

The End of Oak Street

It's a Cloverfield movie, it has nothing to do with covid. Are you trying to sound stupid?

What? How is it a Cloverfiend movie? Isn't it about a street that gets time-jumped into dinosaur times?

He wasn't saying it has anything to do with Covid. He was making the point about movie ideas that were born from Covid times (i.e. being trapped inside your house). Has nothing to do with a plot point being about Covid.

The 1979 motion picture "The Amityville Horror" fits that bill, bud.

What? Just because you like your movie Dino’s roaring doesn’t mean they did. Think maybe like crocs & gators for your large predators.

Well, hell, Godzilla sure as hell roars. And he's basically just an overgrown dinosaur or iguana (if you believe that trash 1998 movie).

You should probably watch the Cloverfield Paradox to understand.

Oak Street physically ends on Clover Park which is adjacent to Cloverfield Blvd

I have, and it was ridiculous that they tried to tie that into Cloverfield, And it also sucked big time too. But that's why I asked, because I wondered if it was some dumb shite like this:

I think I'll take the fact that JJ Abrams said the movie has zero ties to Cloverfield over whatever that link says.

This is what I meant exactly. Occasionally something enters the cultural zeitgeist and the feeling elicited trickle down into our entertainment over the next few years. Just noticing a lot of isolation centric movies showing up lately and that makes sense to me given how long it takes to develop a movie from pitch, to script, to film.
