I just finished watching Cloverfield on DVD.. and then I read around on its Wikipedia articles.
On the article for the movie's monster itself - nicknamed Clover by the production staff, apparently - there's a quote from a review of the movie done by Lawrence Person of Locus Online. This is where my problem is.. he describes 'Clover' as being "like a cross between a truly giant mantis and Johnny the Skeletal Torso."
The problem there? I hope you, dear reader, are wondering what the problem with that is, because hopefully that would mean maybe YOU can explain to me...
What/who is Johnny the Skeletal Torso??? Please tell me somebody out there knows. Clearly Person must, because he said this, but to be very honest he probably should've considered linking to SOMETHING that would tell poor, clueless people like myself what in the world he's making references to. I suppose it doesn't matter, but when I get curious I kind of like to find something that will, you know.. help educate me about whatever I'm wondering about.
Obviously, I've tried Google. Don't suggest it, because what help would that be?
