Members of the  cast of  Steve Pink’s upcoming sci-fi comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine decided to take the plunge this weekend– the Polar Bear plunge.

Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, and Rob Corrdry stepped out of their time-bending, bubbling oasis of comfort to shuck down to their skivvies and thrust themselves into freezing water, all in the name of charity.

 In the process they donated $10000 to The Maryland Special Olympics. After a brisk dash through the snow and into the icy arms of the Chesapeake Bay, the trio finished up in a steaming hot tub at The Ram’s Head Ice Lodge where they signed autographs and chatted up the fans.

Robinson (Daryl from The Office),  Duke (Greek) and Corrdry (The Daily Show) were not the only personalities out on Saturday. Also braving the elements and a wicked case of goosebumps were the likes of Joe Flacco, Martin O’Malley and Kimmie Meisner, all aiding in the cause at what ended up being the 14th Polar Bear Plunge in the Bay.  

Below are some pics from Saturday’s Plunge. Hot Tub Time Machine opens on March 26th, 2010.

Which one will you purchase? I for one will only get the Blu-Ray!!

The folks at /Film have gotten their paws on some production notes for Cloverfield wherein we gets us some more clues about the Big Bad Baby in Cloverfield. Really, it’s a baby. JJ says so himself. And the movie is a love story. A fucking love story? Please.

Reeves also skillfully interweaves an important storyline throughout the film, that of Rob and Beth’s (Odette Yustman) earlier relationship. Hud is unknowingly taping over an earlier recording Rob had made with the camera of intimate, quiet time spent with his mate. “You see their loving gaze. It’s this small love story,” says Reeves.

That Reeves would be director Matt Reeves. But you guys want to hear about the monster. Straight from JJ Abrams mouth (allegedly):

The concept for the monster (affectionately known simply as “Clover” in-house) is simple, says Abrams. “He’s a baby. He’s brand-new. He’s confused, disoriented and irritable. And he’s been down there in the water for thousands and thousands of years.”

And where is he from? “We don’t say – deliberately,” notes Goddard. “Our movie doesn’t have the scientist in the white lab coat who shows up and explains things like that. We don’t have that scene.”

Not only is the creature disoriented – he’s downright angry. “There are a bunch of smaller things – humans – that are annoying him and shooting at him like a swarm of bees,” observes Reeves. “None of these things are going to kill the monster, but they hurt it and it doesn’t understand. It’s this new environment that it finds frightening.”

Sooo… it’s a love story with a baby monster in it? Great. But wait, don’t forget the parasites! They’ve gotta be kick-ass right?

And because of that, the idea of the parasites was born. “They’re these horrifying, dog-sized creatures that just scatter around the city and add to the nightmare of the evening,” Abrams says.

Ok, so now it’s a love story complete with a lovable baby monster and it’s pets? Still no word on the Incredible Bloating Woman in the trailer. To read the whole article, which has a lot more info click that little pointer of yours riiiiight HERE.

Now, if only I could remember that release date…

For all of you Cloverfield freaks out there. We have stumbled upon a commercial for the fake slusho. Watch it enjoy it, rip it apart.

The movie can be found here on this page I have created due to the auto play function in flash being hard coded.

So what does the Monkey have to do with things at the end? Is this a look into the movie?? Could the Cloverfield movie monster be a monkey?
