JJ Abrams drops Harry a Line on all this 1-18-08 stuff!
Hey folks, Harry here... There's conspiracy theories abounding regarding JJ's little flick to juice us up for his badass STAR TREK recreation. So JJ Abrams wrote me to give us all a clue, cuz we're at square one of this mystery! But note... the game sites apparently have nothing to do with JJ. And also... he seems to be stating that you guys have yet to find all the sites he's put up... and yes, you'll have to find them. The man is laughing at you, me and all of those hiding in the shadows. SO... find em if you can... let us know here at AICN... seems we have a scavanger hunt, ain't it cool?
Dear Sir, Thanks for your support of our little movie. I can't wait to talk to you more about it -- of course, knowing you, by the time we talk you'll know more than I will. Regarding the online stuff you posted: yeah, we're doing some fun stuff on the web. But, obviously, if the movie doesn't kick some massive ASS, who gives a rat's about what's online? So as you can imagine, we're focusing mostly on THAT. For what it's worth, the only site of ours that people have even FOUND is the 1-18-08.com site. The others (like the Ethan Haas sites) have nothing to do with us. Stay cool the rest of the summer -- and thanks per usual for AICN! JJ

for that.

and so was Felicity.

Sorry, that Homer quote is the only thing I can think of whenever I see that "Ethan Haas" website name.
-
Homer? Isn't that Blazing Saddles?
-
Haha...
-
no cthulhu??? gonna be lots of disappointed talk backers...
-
The Ethan Haas site: http://www.ethanhaaswasright.com/ is pretty big budget. If it's not connected to 1.8.08 at all, it's something else that's big. Or is JJ just trying to put us off the scent? There are other faked sites around and they're pretty easy to spot. But this...
-
One of the things I like about it is the sense of "being there" that they give you. When I was in the theater, it almost felt like I was watching stuff explode in the distance along with all of the actors and I had that sense of urgency come over me like I should get the hell out of there. If they can keep that kind of atmosphere present in the entire movie, it will royally kick arse.
-
this is an event film without an event! We need Mr. Abrams to come down to Austin and screen this flick at a special as of now unannounced locale...preceeded by a write your own Lovecraft story contest (if it is indeed a Lovecraft adaptation). What do ya think Harry? Can it be done? You know its gonna be 80 degrees here in January anyway!
-
SPOILER!! - Ethan Hunt (played once again by Tom Cruise) hops to the controls of a giant transforming scientologist robot and uses it's "frickin laser beams" to convert all the nonbelievers into L. Ron Hubbard look-alikes! Impossible you say? <p> EXACTLY!
-
If you go to the 1-18-08 website, check out the picture of the two girls. If you zoom in, you can see a picture of some kind of imp or demon between them. There is definitely a face of some sort.
-
That Ethan Haas stuff was pretty cool.
-
Who gives a shit about the sites? Bring on the movie!
-
So, the picture of the two girls looking off in horror is actually the same girl, just photoshopped in half. Any particular reasoning, you think? And why do I see a goblin or something in her hair?

All that HAAS stuff didn't seem to go with the movie at all. <p>I'm so happy!
-
He seems down to earth and aware of what's up. He just gained my confidence in ... whatever the hell he is doing. I also find it cool he called Harry. :)
-
That is NOT the same girl and it's NOT a demon, etc. It's two girls and there's hair. Humans have a tendency to see faces where they shouldn't. This is because our brains are progammed to see read and interpret faces so sometimes we see them in bizarre places, where they really are NOT.
-
My first impression.
-
If I knew how to make spaces in-between paragraphs on this damn site I'd post all the similarities between the trailer and Hindu myths, as we all know Hindu myths are something Abrams likes to sneak into Lost, but I don't feel like posting a wall of text no one will read. Instead, I'll just say this: Shiva (the destroyer) was often depicted with a severed head, the Statue of Liberty is decapitated in the trailer. Also, a ritual know as Paryaya (which takes place once every two years) just happens to take place on 1-18-08. Coincidence? I think not. And I also think Abrams is full of shit when he says the Ethan sites have nothing to do with this film. I just think we're finding stuff faster than he'd like us to.
-
I doubt this is officially related to studio or director but found a cool website. http://www.jjabrams.net/ ET

of The Host until the end when the kid lives...
-
And if it isn't im going to be fucking pissed cause we really do need a fucking movie about this evil of all evils.
-
Just drop it into Photoshop and splice it together. Exact same girl. The photo just wraps.
-
Its very easy but is a highly kept secret amongst AICN staff. Why I don't know. They like to hide stuff you see. In any case, here's how to enter spaces: simply type the following: < p > but make sure you delete the spaces between the < and the P and the >. I would type it myself but it would only end up doing this<p>so there you are sir or madame, whatever the case may be. carry on.

take a look at: http://tinyurl.com/yusgd2

Okay, I believe I've found a clue. Along with the date ( 1-18-08 ), we see a time of 12:36 A.M on one of the pictures. I did a google search for 12:36 ( with the idea of a biblical verse ) and here's what it came up with. "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak..." Matthew 12:36 This is kinda fun. I'll try to get some more
-
It's not the same girl. The eyebrows are wrong.
-
I<p>appreciate<p>it<p>.
-
ABOUT THE MOTHER FUCKING RAPTURE!!!!!! THE FUCKING FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE!! THE MOTHER FUCKING END OF THE WORLD!!! lol
-
Would put a rest to all the fucking stupid "It's a lion" comments.
-
This is kind of creepy: from the Book of Revelation, 18:08: "Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."
-
the history page, the story of the inventor of the drink... very odd
-
11808....add them =18 huh? 18?
-
can we cut out all the find the websites bullshit?...JJ you're turning into a fucking gimic...the whole Lost experience was a failure IMO...this reeks of shitty viral marketing... but seriously the teaser kicks ass...can we just let THAT be it for now?
-
I put the one picture of rob getting the drink shoved down his throat on top of the girls crying, it seems the girls are both looking at that creepy warped person in yellow in the picture of rob
-
OR ILL POOP ON ABRAMS FACE!!! POOOOOP!@!
-
Check this out - the "real" Ethan Haas website is a blogspot one, but remove the blogspot portion and go to http://ethanhaaswaswrong.com/ and they mirrored his site exactly except they trash the movie and JJ Abrams. I cried. :P
-
He says, "I saw it... It's ALIVE."
-
And he said the website clues are found in the trailer, Rob.
-
this is awesome. my brother was at a horror convention in orlando (near us) and bought me this. it fuckin rules. i think it's one of the best looking versions i've seen.<BR> <BR>it even has an inverted snout inside the main tentacles that has pink sucker mouths all the way inside of it.<BR> <BR>http://www.sotatoys.com/images/long-bot.gif
-
Good Call Battling Maxo - not sure if they/she is looking at the yellow person in the picture above, but this yellow highlighted person is very creepy looking and in probably of some significance
-
WITHOUT ANY GODDAMN HINTS?
-
tv show directors - excuse me, producers somehow dont excite me. i'll bet there will be lots of shaky camera moves and snippy cuts.

but I gotta say, he's pretty damn good with the one-liners.

This better be one God Damn Awesome Fuckin' Flick...
by Vaders Catheter
...for all the bullshit we have to go through to get even a fucking hint. WTF??
-
even read "the Call of Cthulhu"? The eeriness was in what WASN'T revealed... also, it's about people going after the monster, out of insane compulsion, not the monster coming and attacking new york with big fireballs. Sure, I'd love to see the big guy rendered in glorious CG, but I don't think that's what JJ's up to.
-
I checked out a site called 35minutes.com based on the time difference between the two pictures on the 1-18-08 site. There isn't anything there now bu the words 35 minutes, but I wonder if there are plans to put something there soon.
-
google the word "bloop"
-
Interesting.
-
I think someone else mentioned that in between the top of the picture of the two girls heads, there is an image of some sort of creature (an ear, two eyes, torso/neck, and possibly wings)... however, it also looks like there is another creature around the girl on the right's eye - if you refresh the images so that the party photo covers the bottom left of the two girls heads, the eyebrow/shaded area looks like a dinosaur/lizard head with teeth while the shading on the bottom of her eye looks like an arm with a claw... of course then again maybe I'm just seeing things need to get some sleep...
-
Why people automatically linked the Ethan Haas site with Cloverfield, because there was nowhere saying they were officially connected, it basically just appeared. I'll still wait to find out what happens on Aug. 1, though, because it seems very interesting on it's own anyway. <p> And as for the missing sites, I'm not going to even bother without so much as a clue, so please deflate your head, J.J. and get back to us with one. I bet 80% of the Cloverfield press is from the Haas sites.
-
a) Rob is going to JAPAN<p> b) The house is covered of Japanese theme<p> c) SLUSHO is a weird drink with a very creepy story <p> d) The photo at 1-18-08 has ROB drinking.<p> e) The friend who tell Rob to go to the roof has a SLUSHO T-Shirt.
-
via my blackberry... He said he's see me in January....
-
a Japanese drink.
-
from trailerspy: "If you want to see this being filmed on location(*s) and live in the LA area, just watch for the shoot direction signs labeled “Slusho”. oh, and that brings me to another oddity: The ID tags for the shoot on the trucks say “Slusho: You can’t eat more than 6″ and a drawing of a slurpee like drink."
-
Also another "codename" for this project?
-
Anything to the digital 9 in the party picture and what looks like a 4 on the right cheek of the girl? Also, why does the man on the left of the party picture have what apepars to be a blue glowing inside his jacket?
-
http://www.beyondhollywood.com/cloverfield-update-new-picture-what-is-slusho/
-
Ah yes, the original quote is in Saddles.. but I would've sworn Homer said almost the exact same thing. Well, at least Homer DID say "Lyndon LaRouche was right!!!" in the President Kang & Kodos Halloween episode. My bad.
-
SLUSHO! SLUSHO!! SLUSHO!!!
-
sorry something about that guy stands out, anyhow is that a digital number six or possibly an "S" ...since we are talking about slusho
-
Seen that way too much to get excited about.
-
could just be a jersey of some sort too
-
What stands out about the creepy yellow person other than the sinister smile and jaundiced skin is that the upper and lower jaw don't appear to line up.
-
is just the working title, or an easter egg for people who were fans of Alias, and has nothing to do with the actual movie or the monster is half-Cthulhu half-Voltron riding a giant Lion made of slusho
-
The face between to two girls looks like George Washington. <p> George Washington is going to terrorize New York City.
-
sent an email to the contact at the SLUSHO site, satoshi@slusho.jp <satoshi@slusho.jp>, got this autoreply 3 times: "Slusho! loves your mails!! You Can't Drink Just Six!!!"
-
Smokie from LOST. Who says Hollywood has no imagination left? :P
-
Good Point - also the part of her face hat is obstructed is not obstructed from any of the natural lines in the picture - Rob's arm is not that far back and the guys in the Pink shirt's hair would not naturally extend that far either.
-
... the late author of the Illuminatus! trilogy... was born on January 18... Holy Kao! Hail Eris!
-
in the teaser, at about the 35 second mark, there are two stickers saying something along the lines of "Exit To Mystery St." (at least that's what it looks like to me...), one sticker is sideways on the side of the door, the other is up at the top of the fridge to the right of the pic of two girls... i tried to plug in variations of those words into my browser but got nothing...still, figured i'd mention it if anyone else wants to take a stab!
-
hmmmmm
-
So I'm looking at the creepy yellow person still and it's still creepy and yellow, but I'm wondering...do you think it's a composite of the two faces from the first image?
-
slusho.jp
-
You can see a great pair of tits.
-
just noticed this as well... during the newscast in the teaser where the anchor woman talks about a possible earthquake...the time shown is 12:32AM and it's 63 degrees out! the times of the two photos in 1-18-08.com are 12:01AM and 12:36AM. i'm more intrigued by it being 63 degrees in NYC on January 18th...but thanks to global warming, i guess it's not so far fetched...
-
I thought I was the only one who caught that. Damn those are some tig ol' bitties.
-
It's a Possible theory but I don't think so, the other interesting part about her is that if you zoom in and look at her eye the bottom line of it comes to a very drastic point - similar to egyptian or hindu eye make up
-
Probably means nothing, but interesting anyway:<p>1994 - The Cando event, a possible bolide impact in Cando, Spain. Witnesses claim to have seen a fireball in the sky lasting for almost one minute. <p>2000 - The strange Tagish Lake meteorite impacted the Earth. <p>1916 - A 611 gram chondrite type meteorite struck a house near the village of Baxter in Stone County, Missouri.
-
ha, i was messing with those words too. no luck though.
-
This may be nothing, but 63 degrees is the record high for NY (up until January of this year) that was set back in 1950.
-
Has anyone deciphered why the pictures rotate in the directions they rotate? I have been refreshing the page and at first they were both turning counter now one is counter and one is clock-wise - any thoughts?
-
You're all going to hell
-
A) flipping out about this project now that J.J. Abrams has written in to counter the flak and B) trying to read all sorts of stuff into this lame trailer. Seriously, I hate too be too negative about it, but if it wasn't for the fact that the movie didn't have a title, would anyone really care that much about this? No. To me this is just a big gimmick that pisses me off the more I think about it.
-
Why can I move the pictures.... Creepy.
-
I can confirm that that's a bug in Flash Jimmy - it has nothing to do with the fact that there is no title. Take a look at the Lost TB on here and you'll see that it's all about JJ Abrams. :)
-
The lady that "invented" Slusho died looking for the most unique flavor. A relative, an Ocean scientist, discovered a unique deep-sea ingredient unlike anything else - that gave dreams of being a fish and morphing into a giant whale after drinking lots of the drink.<br>Goddamn Cthulhu shit this is!
-
LOL I almost spit out my Dr Pepper on that one. Holy shyte that was awesome. And even more so because it's true!
-
...The only content on the site is the "history" section, where we have the aforementioned wierdo semi-Cthuloid/Gojira stuff. Very strange. <p> What's odder is a little Flash rollover gimmick on the history section. A horse, when rolled over, thinks a thought balloon with an oven mitt; a fish thinks of a wedge of Swiss cheese. No idea what to make of that...
-
no doubt.
-
If you left click on a pic you can drag it around.... If you right click and select play more pictures pop up. The photos also twitch aboot if you zoom out and look at them.... I know someone out there will unlock this. GET TO IT!!
-
Refers to the angles at which we should connect the pictures.....
-
If the freakin Ethan Haas websites aren't connected to 01-18-08, then why the hell did Paramount Pictures remove the videos from Haas the same day they removed the 1-18-08 trailers from Youtube?! Hint to JJ: YouTube leaves pages telling us what company requested a video removal.
-
...is the one on the left-hand side of the photo of the girls at the 1-18-08 site, I think. Checking on the other one, could mean something...of course, anything could mean something at this point! Fun fun fun.
-
If you right click on the pictures and hit play, as another talkbacker suggested, you'll get a duplicate set of pics. If you line up the girl on the right with the girl on the left, to create a whole face, it matches almost perfectly. The colors are a bit off, but it's the same girl.
-
hmmm
-
All caps tell all.
-
12:36 - 12:01 = 35 minutes hence goto www.35minutes.com that was figured out by me...Jubba! :)

From wikipedia Cando event via Bob of the Shire. Someone put some time into this.
-
Looking at the HD version, one of them that's tilted 90 degrees says "MONSTER" doesn't it?
-
but i pressed show all and got a much bigger space to move the pics.
-
Got a clearer view...somebody already mentioned that sticker previously here in the TB I see.
-
...is Lizzy Caplan. Girl on the right is someone else.
-
That's what I'M saying. Obviously the Haas shit has something to do with a Paramount film...I think it's a little odd that they would have 2 things coming out dealing with the destruction of NY. I guess we'l find out August 1st.
-
Okay, if you put in www.1-17-08, the file isn't found. But if you put in www.1-19-08, it tells you it's "coming soon." Hmm.
-
I've amassed everything I've found so far here: http://tinyurl.com/ypwehy. I hope it helps.
-
Look, I made a better image. It is the girl from about 1:29 into the trailer. <p>http://tinyurl.com/2kmwpl
-
Apologies if someone has pointed this out before, but I didn't see any mention of it -- if you go to 1-18-08.com and click on the pictures, you can move them by clicking on them. When you put them side by side, they seem to "lock" into place. (I clicked on 'view source' to see if anything else is hidden on the site but I'm too lame to know if I found anything.)
-
Refers to the monster's code name as 'the parasite' Don't know if that means anything, but ...
-
Good pic SkeletonParty. It proves it's the same girl in the pic. The question is, why is the pic split like that?!
-
The Girl on the Left is Lizzy Caplan,as has been mentioned, whose frakin' white. the girl on the right is black, she's in the trailer as well at 00:37. <p> I agree they fit together well, which is probably for a reason, but they are Two Completely Different Girls!
-
What if you hit play to get more pics and put them together in order of timestamp?
-
...is exactly right.
-
Is in my imagination. 69 boom tich
-
Maybe all the sixes point to demonic forces...the yellow thing on the right has a yellow 6 or an S on its shirt...slurpo talks about 6 drinks...numbers seem to be hidden everywhere in the pictures...
-
Is the site I get forwarded to when I left-click a pic and hit "play".
-
initial placement when you go to the site appears to be random, but every 10 seconds the top photo 12:01 moves in a clockwise direction.
-
Slusho - a drink that has a secret ingredient from the ocean floor<br><br> 35 minutes separates the "party scene" from the "scared girls" scene<br><br> You've found all sorts of Masonic hints in the Web domain registration<br><br> "Parasite"<br><br> Ok, I give up....this is some intricate stuff.

and it's Eli Roth's stunt wang. Wait? What's this Cloverfield stuff?

'cause 2004-1986=18

Some of the Freemason hints from the whois registry of 01-18-08.com: "Okay, so the address, 101 Callahan Drive Alexandria, VA, belongs, not to Albert Pike(more on him in a second), but to The George Washington Masonic National Memorial. Also of note is the Latin phrase at the top of the record, “In hoc signo vinces”, which means “in this sign you will conquer”. According to the Wikipedia article on this phrase, it is found, among other places, on the 33 degree crest in the Scottish rite branch of Freemasonry. Also, Albert Pike lived in D.C. in the 1800s and was a Freemason." http://tinyurl.com/ypwehy.

on the web, that use a combination of the clues we have deciphered thus far. I will cross index it with what we know, and I have written a program that uses a fuzzy logic algorith to predict future possible site names. <BR> <BR> When I have more pictures of that girls tits at the 21 sec mark, I will let everyone know.

Look at the vertical line on the E in the Rob picture on 1-18-08 and there's very clearly a "2" embedded there, why is there a number when all the others are pictures of his friends?
-
There are 17 cups of Slusho on the Slusho front page...
-
As he says, Google the phone number in the whois result for the official site registration info takes you to a website for a hangar at the Santa Monica airport.<br>The airport is near the Bad Robot HQ. BTW, the Santa Monica airport was originally called Clover Field.
-
Nothing, really. Could be nothing, but it's a line from the teaser: www.whatwas thatnoise.com
-
At 1:35 in the trailer. Don't know if it's anything but the number is ABZ-3293.

Also adds up to 17

Okay, I can't read Japanese, but 1-18-08 backwards is 80811. I put in www.80811.com into my browser and I get greeted by some Japanese site. Here's the strange part - look at the very bottom at the copyright. It's 2006-2008. Could be nothing, but how could they put the copyright at 2008? Strange if nothing else :P
-
the explosion.....the line "its white lion....its huge" ...its a biopic www.whitelion.com
-
Dr Sin's intial noticing of 17 is flawed becasue he added 1, 8 and 8, rather than 1, 18, and 8. So maybe 17 is nothing, just a coincidence. <p> But that 2 in the E is a definite clue, must be.
-
I *told* you it looked like George Washington behind those two girls.
-
It's Chinese. Seems to be a website for a school according to the google translator. Guess that one's a dead-end.
-
But that's just a rumor, really
-
With the Freemasonry references and the number 17, I found this on Wikipedia: The History of Freemasonry studies the development, evolution and events of the fraternal organization known as Freemasonry. This history is generally separated into two time periods: before and after the formation of the Grand Lodge of England in 1717. The establishment of a permanent Grand Lodge in London in 1717 is traditionally considered the formation of organized Freemasonry in its modern sense.
-
The monster sound at that site is exactly the same as in the trailer. I city gets devastated as you go through the puzzles, much like in the trailer. I do not buy that this is an unaffiliated site for any other movie or put together at the last possible second by random, would be hoaxers.
-
Numbers frequently mentioned on Lost: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42<br><br>Add 'em up....you get 108.<br><br>1-08???
-
Thanx for the catch - now I'm back to square one.<br><br>But, this is an interesting "lattice of coincidences."
-
the geekiest site on the web and all we've discovered so far is that the girls in the photo on the 8-18-08 site are the same?
-
yup.

I stopped it at 1:18 and he's running down the stairs and there's some white globby looking thing..... my comp sucks and I can't see it very well and it's probably nothing and probably too obvious for JJ.... but?????? If someone can see it better.....
-
So, I've gone up to Edit->Page Source, and I still can't find this voltron url.
-
i don't know if this site has been mentioned or if its real.....
-
Is being produced by the guy behind League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. My bet is that the flick will suck.
-
I want it NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
-
We've discovered they're not the same girl. One is back and one is white. Nice try though.</p> I gotta say... watching all this speculation and nerd energy is the most fun you can have without a jar of vaseline and a sock.
-
if she is then she is a genetic mistake.....
-
I'm not seeing it on the 08 site
-
After pairing up the images, her eyes are pointing in the exact same direction. The nose matches up. The lips match up. The teeth match up. The "I just cried my mascara down my face" look is the same on both sides. I don't care who Lizzy Caplan is, but they cut her photo in half to make it look like two girls. Get over it.
-
my friend and i were both looking at the sites and he found it on one of them

The Flash animation at the start is pretty compelling - esp. the 8-07 flashing image (if that's what it says). I like exploring those Cthuloid links on that page.<br><br>This apocalyptic film better be the most amazing thing of all time. LOL
-
Voltron's coming to destroy us.
-
Damn straight it's the same girl. More are starting to see the truth.
-
The eyes are pointing in the same direction because they're looking at the same thing - however they're different eyes. The nose does NOT line up properly. </p> The lips do line up okay, but one girl is black and one is white. Kind of a giveaway, that.

I google imaged Lizzy Caplan and she didn't match either half of this picture.
-
I just wasted the last 2 1/2 hours of my life trying to figure this shit out. JJ is way better than this.
-
It's amazing what you can do in Photoshop, isn't it? Tinting photographs, adding smudges here and there. Darkening eyes. Hell, I've changed the color of my eyes and added Bill Cosby to my graduation photo. It's the same girl. Their eyebrows are colored in the same way. What would be the odds of them hiring two girls who just happened to have nearly perfect facial structure, anyhow? "Hey, you two. You both have eyes, lips, nose, teeth that line up perfectly. Pose side-by-side so we can fool the internet community and sell movie tickets. Tee hee." Right.
-
most people in the theater thought it was Godzilla 2.
-
I'm off to the pub. <p> Doctor Sin, someone was just handing round "lattice" biscuits at work, I shit you not. This gets weirder all the time!
-
they all die shortly after this trailer ends..and then the story shifts into the normal Hollywood camera and follows someone like michael keaton around instead while he saves the world. or chuck norris. that'd be cool.
-
at voltronblog?
-
it's not a lion</p> it's not Voltron</p> It's not a remake of the Host</p> It's not the same chick split up in the photo (seriously - the eyes and eyebrows give it away) - unless of course that kind of mongoloid facial incongruency is something you're used to seeing where you live.
-
But I'm loving it. It's driving me crazy, though. I have to know if Ethan Haas has something to do with this!<p>Damn you, Abrams!
-
I'll ask too. What sourcecode are you looking at?
-
But after just suffering through that "ethan haas was right" site for an hour (and that was with a frickin walkthrough!), I guaran-damn-tee you that site is connected to the movie. No way in hell does some fan boy douche bag drop the kind of coin and effort it takes to make a flashy (I made a pun, hehe) site like that just to say "hey, look at me, I'm a fan boy douche bag and I fooled you!"... Mark my words.
-
sounds like turn on a cracker - made of turd!
-
apparently "notlost" was found in the code for the voltron blog, not the other way around.
-
Thx for the heads up - I will brave the review momentarily.
-
but not very close. <p> http://tinyurl.com/2gxrmn <p> the below image is the inverted picture of those girls.
-
Yeah, seems as if the Ethan Haas site points way more to Voltron than everything else. Notable is the "humanity has gone underground" part and the post-apocalyptic setting, as well as the supposed rebellion.
-
i think the guy who gets surprised and his friend with the slusho shirt know whats going on. they know whats attacking the city. thats why his friend suggests going to the roof and why the guy looks so scared when his friend says heshould have left a day sooner.

Try saying it 5 times fast.

Here is a round up of conspicuous text in the trailer: <p> 0:07 - Graffiti on the wall, you get a better view of it later. <br> 0:10 - A sign above the door. It looks like USdie . . . <br> 0:35 - Numerous stickers on the fridge, notably there is one sticker that appears twice, it seems to say Exit Mystery St. <br> 0:38 - The graffiti again. Numerous words written. <br> 0:47 - AKM (fraternity) as well as a map and mostly illegible sticker at the top of the shot. <br> 0:48 - Newscast shows the time, 12:32AM, and the temperature, 63 degrees. <br> 1:10 - graffiti on the roof, the first two letters at clearly visible, CR, the others are hard to make out and can be seen off and on for the next two seconds. <br> 1:12 - briefly illuminated graffiti. It very likely says 1987 - 2004 ACE. <br> 1:25 - A yellow sign is visible, as well as others that are tough to make out. <br> 1:28 - A few more signs, one says for lease, another appears to have a phone number. <br> 1:32 - A large sign, just before it gets destroyed, dead on, by Miss Liberty's noggin. It says 401 and then a word, Broadway maybe? It seems far too perfect a shot for this not to be a clue, but 401broadway.com does not yield much. <br> 1:35 - License plate: ABZ 3293 <p> That's pretty much it. No go forth and investigate!
-
Ethan Haas was the name of the character played by Jason Ritter on the recently canned TV show "The Class." Which co-starred Lizzy Caplan.
-
cause you should... <p> <p> buy a mountain...do it today
-
1:39 - Graffiti on the back of a sign to the right. Two words, Dead De . . . (something)

... are working this talkback right now? just curious.
-
. . . definitely seems artificial in nature. The fragments seem more like multi-stage rockets than anything else. Either it is the work of sloppy FX guys, or this huge alive thing is packing heat.
-
I just got into all this investigating today after seeing the trailer before xformers sat, and the guy that sounds like he says "its a lion, its huge!" google images voltron (for those not familiar with voltron) He's a giant robotic feline basically :P but im looking further into this myself, trying to find this voltron coding in the text befor i get set on this being a voltron movie. Also, movies tend (not always) to show previews for other movies similiar to what you are about to see. So on that theory, voltron would be a good preview to show right be you see transformers :P but its 4am here, so who knows if im even in any ballpark :P oh yah, this is my first post :) hi!
-
i am sure he says its alive but i am hoping he actually says its a lion....
-
http://www.freyart.us/latest_news.htm<br><br> Also, Doug Meerdink is involved.
-
Really, I don't know who got it started, but just drop it, he doesn't say it is a lion. He says it is alive.

Hello everyone. I have been researching (a little bit outside of the box) some different area's. Being a detective here in the great state of Kentucky aloud me to find somethings alot of people cant reasearch. I cant release some of the info as it would be good-bye job. I can release this though... 1; www.ethanhaaswasright .com is owned by tucows softwear. They have the means and money to creat a site like that. Now i saw this on youtube> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh-xZA9lPtU which looks alot like the voltronblog thing or whatever. I now know pretty much the direction this "cloverfield" movie is about... But i will leave you with just this and enjoy watching other complete this search. This was really fun to figure out even tho i only have the jist of it. Thanks!
-
you don't know anything.
-
That pic of pic Director17 posted looks an awful lot like an alien. Yup, sure does.
-
So... why in the trailer, when the non-flaming head of Lady Liberty hits the side of a building does that part of the building explode like the freaking Hindenburg?
-
Sad to say that's not a fictional site. Jeff Rense is an Art Bell type who has gone seriously off the reservation, Alex "InfoWars" Jones style. Rense has been around for years.
-
Seriously, this movie has nothing to do with voltron. It only has a $30 million dollar budget! <p> Also, those girls in the picture are NOT the same. Get over it. <p> The Ethan Haas sites aren't related to this movie, people just assumed. There's no conspiracy. Those sites, from what i've seen, are for an upcoming computer game called Alpha Omega. Hell, even the puzzles and music were extremely reminiscent of the entire Myst series. <p> Can't wait to see what J.J. has up his sleeve.
-
The "cloverfield" movie is not about some goofy lion, nor is it about some bogus chiwuluhuwi or whatever his name is, not based on a videogame, it's an original screen play. This is not a recreation of anything. The trailor was shot in California in early june. The effects in the trailor are not of finished qaulity. The trailor was shot without a finished script. Just small bits. This movie has nothing to do with "Ethan Haas"... Just wait until 18, January 2008. Then you can eat your hat!! :)

a) if it's the same girl (it's not) and the picture is split (it's not), what the hell does that mean? nothing.<p>b) is it Voltron! (it's not) is it Chulthu? (maybe?) we have no way of knowing and we won't until we find more websites. even then, maybe not.<p>c) Jimmy_009 just HAS to find something that other people enjoy to crap all over. now that Studio 60 is off the air, he's chosen this project. just ignore him.<p>d) the trailer is laden with clues, and so are the photos, but why the FUCK are people just playing conspiracy with the photos? it's a demon! that ace is fucked up! no arm! blah blah blah. whatever the movie is, it's about a HUGE MONSTER ROBOT THING ATTACKING NY and possibly the world. there are no demons running around the fucking party! the clues are the graffiti, stickers, t-shirts, timestaps, etc. DROP THE PHOTO CONSPIRACY BULLSHIT! even if someone could definitively prove that shit in her hair is a demon (it's not) it wouldn't mean anything! numbers, words, clues, those can lead to new websites...<p>continue on my nerdlings...

I think it's a counter of some sort. It's at the bottom of <b>every</b> page...1-18-08, slusho, ethanhaaswasright, that Cthulhu Fhtagn RPG. Anyone else notice that coincidence?

Either tell me what the fucking movie is about, or piss on you and your fucking monster movie. This is why I don't play videogames. Jerkoff.<P> And it'd BETTER be fuckin' Cthulhu. Next.

It says on IMDB that the special effects include Industrial Light & Magic.
-
here's the 1st paragraph: "In Norse mythology, Ragnarök ("fate of the gods"[1]) is the battle at the end of the world. It will be waged between the Æsir, led by Odin, and the various forces of the Jötnar, including Loki. Not only will most of the gods, giants and creatures involved perish in this apocalyptic conflagration, but almost everything in the universe will be torn asunder." my hunch, it's gonna be about Thor.
-
if you figured something out spill it.
-
... you'll see smushed-up text that has a lot of info, in particular something about Ragnarok. i dont follow Thor much, but I heard rumors about a movie & this seem to be in that genre
-
they're all using google analytics -_- but google-analytics.com seems like some dodge site.
-
The second time through the teaser, it hit me that I heard that "whw-whw-whw" sound before! You hear it just before Lady Liberty's head smacks into the building. Didn't some Godzilla foe make that noise?
-
a meandering film in which the drug dealer from brick wanders around paris chatting up some french broad all day?
-
...all end-of-the-world movies. what would they be without something distructive making the "whw-whw-whw" sound ;)
-
Phi, that sound reminds me of the Zero-Point gun in HalfLife 2. Maybe thatts what you were thinking of?
-
All the talk of 63 degrees on the news, 73 degrees in the blog, and the numbers everywhere, just seems to point to coordinates. i've tried 63 12' 32" and 01 18' 08" but only getting Sweden and Russia nothing that goes anyway or makes any sense. Only saying coz abrhams did that numbers thing on Lost and when you put them in google/maps as coordinates you get a small island of the coast of Oz. try it

has nothing to do with the movie fine. but why the fuck would some "fan" create such an intricate website for no reason? is it something that guy did for his own film or product maybe?<BR> <BR>and why is there another site calling that site and this movie pieces of dumb shit? wtf?

Maybe Ethan Haas and the Cthulhu is a different viral marketing campaign for Cthulhu put into effect around the same time as 1-18-08?

I already find them annoying.

Maybe it was Ghidorah. From Wikipedia: "Final Wars Ghidorah possessed the most powerful gravity beams of all its [Ghidorah's] incarnations" "In Rebirth of Mothra 3, Grand King Ghidorah appeared to have a range of Psionic abilities, allowing it to teleport small objects" Kotic - Never played it. :( The Thinker - true!
-
...the end of the world/universe battle between gods & monsters? it's mentioned @ http://tinyurl.com/ytg8t7. is Thor related or not.

as armageddon, cthulhu coming back, earth being destroyed by asteroids, it's all end of the wporl doomsday stuff.

Is the bartender in the trailer the lead singer of Yellowcard?

Actually, I think it's Hurley, grown massive due to the radioactive Deus Ex Machina on the Lost island, pissed at these fucking yuppies overusing his catchphrase. Dude.

Can't you all see this is an attempt to start producing a series of open ended realty-style movie series to theaters? It'll be like Lost, except costs $11 an episode.

i've been reading about the ethan haas thing and i'm thinking abrams is telling the truth. i'm thinking that the sites are promoting a game/t.v. show that has nothing to do with "cloverfield".<BR> <BR>the haas was a douchebag aite is fake. that guy assumed like most people that it was connected.<BR> <BR>with all the talk of aug 1st i think that the ethan haas people got royally fucked by the no name trailer coming out which has turned their cool viral marketing for their game/t.v. show on it's ear.<BR> <BR>imagine if you spent all this time and money to promote something and something else gets all the attention!! ha! ha! that sucks!

'With the guards of Magog, swarming around, The Pied Piper takes his children underground. Dragons coming out of the sea, Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me. He brings down the fire from the skies, You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes. Better not compromise. It won't be easy. 666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul. Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.'

there are two movies. One by jj abrams and another by someone else and these movies have been bubblin away. One was launched with the trailer in front of Transformers and the other was launched a day later. Both are being made in secretive. but jj has something to do with both, lets not for forget that JJ has one of the biggest deal in hollywood under his belt. its a 50 million dollar tv and production deal with Paramount and someother company and disney or the WB.
-
that tinyurl of yours was NOT a screen grab of Slusho!!! It seems to have downloaded spyware on my computer! what the hell's wrong with you!
-
It's motherfucking MOLE-MEN.
-
All of this talk is completely fascinating to me. You figure JJ and crew are either sitting back in their chairs and laughing to themselves about how good they've got us....or now they've got to be completely panicking, because all they were planning to do was a low budget "Godzilla Witch Project" and now everyone's expecting cthulu and armageddon and deep significant meanings to everything. Well, either way, they got me intrigued.

God Damn some of you are idiots. Chick on the left is white, and right is black. Look at the angle in which the lips go down. The white girls lip is drops quicker (mouth is narrow) than the black girls (mouth is wider). If you line the nose up the lips dont match, if you line the lips up the nose doesnt match. The eyes dont match no matter what you do. And someone please explain what the fuck would be the point anyway of splitting a girls face in one picture?
-
I was thinking... the 12:32, 63 degrees adds up to 17 -- added up individually. And someone mentioned the co-ordinates ending up in Russia. Well, there was that giant meteor before in Russia - wasn't it 1908 or something? Someone had posted about the 1/18 meteors too. Just rambling.

Goddamnit you fuckers are too dim for viral marketing
by Ricky Henderson
Lets see: we've got one silly bastard talking about the masons, another jackass seems to be convinced there's a demon in one picture, and some fuckhead still thinks its Voltron. <br> <br> This confirms what Rickey has suspected for quite some time. Unleashing a viral puzzle game on AICN is pretty much the equivalent of chaining 1,000 monkeys to 1,000 typewriters.

Maybe, the slowly turning picture is a hint. There is clearly a symbol photoshopped on the girls t-shirt in the back. Looks like a 6 to me. 655 1113. I know that it is photoshopped in there. But if you look at that plus what the banner looks like upside down...

But the question we should all be asking, and the one Harry should be asking JJ, is WHY would Paramount have asked for the videos from the Ethan Haas website to be taken down at the same time they were asking for the pirated trailer to be taken down? Paramount cannot have something removed that they do not hold the rights to, and the timing is just too close for coincidence. Let's figure THIS question out so we can either confirm or refute some of the rumors out there.
-
has anyone thought that the times combined with the 63 degrees could be a plotting point for space. I did find out that on 1-18-1989 a pulsar was found inside a supernova called 1987A which is one of probably only 3 supernovas to have been seen by the naked eye. The other were observed by an astronomer over 300 years ago and by american indians well before that. Just an idea. Also on 1-18-67 the US govt tested a nuclear device in the nevada desert

From the parasite movie website is a link to the tossing games website under the ???. In this tossing games site go to the forums and the campsite forum, and there is an forum based on someone trying to locate ethan haas, so perhaps he is connected to this movie afterall. Something else alo suspicious is the tital of one forum is giant / monster games, yet the words GIANT MONSTER are highlighted in upper case which is coincidental as this movie is about a giant monster! See what else you can find guys. (by the way first post!)

Not sure if it is related, but if you look at the latest posts in forums from steve the admin, he has a new myspace page, on this page there is a post-it mesage board, with the numbers 11808 on it, there is a definite connection here. At the bottom of his page there is a map of his friends etc. including a doug from just off south street in Newark. Being from the UK, would this be anywhere near where the incident happens in the film, or perhaps doug is a friend of robs from the party????

MI3 was my favorite of the three, and it was certainly the least convoluted...and look at the guy, he talked Stephen King into selling the Dark Tower rights, he's bringing Star Trek back to us, he's producing one of the best damn TV shows on (one that has nothing to do with housewives, lawyers, doctors {besides Jack} or police) and he's at the forefront of meshing entertainment on the small and big screen with an online experience. Who else is doing all that?

Does that mean no more CTHULU DANCE?!?!<P>:^(
-
Those are the two girl in the picture. It's really obvious. So enough with the "they're the same girl" stuff, please. They don't even look remotely alike in the picture or the trailer. And while cthulu would be cool, it's not required. I love all these people screaming "if it's not Cthulu, this will totally suck!" Like no decent monster movie not directly adapted from Lovecraft has been terrible. I sounds like a Cthulu-esque mythology based on the Haas sites, but there's no proof that it's actually Lovecraftian itself.
-
A big screen version of the CBS show the Class. Seriously though anyone find it odd that the main character in that show was named Ethan Haas and Lizzy Caplan was also in the show and she is in this movie. Coincidence sure but still kinda funny.

Everyone going on about demons in the hair and secret codes on pictures....it's sad really. I can't wait until the full trailer comes out and we find out that it stars Will Smith and Shia Lebouf as extraterrestrial bounty hunters.

http://tinyurl.com/27ud8u Some people over there pointed out this web Site. http://www.slusho.jp/ It has something to do with Alias and one of the people in the teaser has a Slusho shirt on.

Or a trailer for a new JJ show? We really don't know anything. We are all just throwing nets out there and coming up with nadda.
-
if you highlight the top of the parasite movie site you get: <---------August 1st, 2007 12:36 AM Reveal ....... Project Cloverfield. ----------> which is not much...
-
August 1st, 2007 12:36 AM Reveal ... Project Cloverfield
-
HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT YOU CAN "DUPLICATE" AND "ARRANGE" THE PICTURES?
-
If that tossing game site is legit, then I have to give JJ his props because that site is boring as hell. If it's not... then I feel sorry for the guy who owns the site. I did check out Steve's bio though. He's his about us about him and his wife. We are Steve & Tricia King from Pevely, MO (USA). Pevely is just south of St. Louis. We have one son, Christian. <p> <p> I (Steve) am an environmental research associate for a St. Louis based nationwide company that handles entire waste streams for businesses across the USA. If you are in a company that would like to save money by allowing us to handle and manage ALL of your wastes (ie. hazardous, non-hazardous, biological and/or radioactive), then contact me. Even if you have a just specific waste that you are seeking handled, then contact me too. We strive for the green theme by recycling waste instead of sending it to a landfill if at all possible." He was also in the Navy for 12 years.
-
That 'poor guy' has stated on his forum that JJ has told him he's not allowed to reveal anything until Aug 1st. So not very related at all then. Poor guy.
-
yeah JJ told me not to say anything till Aug 1st either so i must be in on it to, jerk.
-
any thoughts on why, when you have completed the puzzles on ethan haas was right, in that email and name field, you have DIVINUS at the top?
-
Who is it came up with Rense.com, and how? If you go there, there's a picture of the Statue of Liberty being destroyed. If you input "Slusho" in the search engine, you get: http://www.wesellslush.com/?gclid=CMyHpb2fnY0CFRpFQAodOB2n0A and http://www.monstakrush.com/?gclid=CILe5b2fnY0CFSIGQAodtQsD2A Which seems to be for some "Slush" drink franchise called "Monstakrunch"? The artwork looks slightly in the style of the Slurpo site. Remember that Larry Cohen movie "The Stuff" about sentient monster icecream...?
-
What is with that name on the Salem gravestone??????????
-
either way, he's bringing it on himself and not 'clearly minding his own business then', isn't he. Jerk.
-
If you click on the links on Rense, you get an mp3 about Benjamin Fulford. Doing a Google on Fulford reveals lots of (just for the last few days!) articles about him. He seems to be espousing an Illuminati like conspiracy about the Japanese being "taken over" into a nation of zombies. Maybe because of Slurpo?
-
Can only be a reference to the Winger song "She's only seventeen". Orrrrrr it could be a reference to Revelations chapter 17. The arrival of the Whore of Babylon who bears the title Mystery Babylon the Great. There is a city named Babylon on Long Island NY. If you take Revelations chapter 17 and order the verses 1-18-08 you get. <p> One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters. <p> The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth. <p> The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.
-
When you view the source code for the 1-18-2008 site, the ethan haas site, and the tossing game site along with all the links on that site all have www.w3.or g or W3C in the source code.
-
the pictures move in a clockwise direction if you go to the site and do nothing. one moves every two seconds or so. the one with the two girls moves every 3 or 4 seconds or so. do what you will with this.
-
It's pretty common...
-
It's a Mothra movie. Mark my words.
-
But I'm afraid they're going ot backfire horribly when the movie actually has TV trailers and advance reviews. I'm not saying the movie will be dull, it's just that at that stage before release, it's impossible to remain mysterious and not be "explained" in a brief paragraph.
-
How many times has the 'apocalyptic monsters destroying the city' movie been done!!?? give me a break. The shakycam technique, while intriguing, was actually done by two of the applicants to that dumb show 'on the lot' (their on-camera interviews are interrupted by aliens or monsters or whatever destroying the city).
-
In the time I posted about being able to search from within Rense.com on "Slusho", the two links I posted above no longer come up directly through the Rense search engine Google result, although the links to "wesellslush" and "monstakrush" themselves still work.
-

-
At the party, did anyone else notice that their serving Sushi?? SUSHI, PEOPLE!!! That means it MUST be Cthullulutu!!!! Also, one of the party guest is Lindsey Lohan. I swear you can see her right before the lights go out.
-
Is the intersection where you can find the old Mutant Enemy studios/offices where Buffy was filmed. 1-18-08 is written by Drew Goddard who wrote for the last season of Buffy.
-
It's funny but if you place a copy of the picture time-stamped 12:01 and place it alongside a duplicate, using the 'yellow dude' as the intersection, the number on his chest forms a symbol that is eerily similar to the one on the 'we are slush' website. Which, I don't mind adding, looks very tentacle-like. Slurp that one up! Ha!

He says, very clearly "I Saw It, It's Alive, It's Huge"

Darkocity, I've played COC: Dark Corners of the Earth..
by PROF IKAMONO
...it's one of few games that creeped me out a bit... mainly because it does first pov better than any other game I've seen... you really start to identify with the character... also your so fucking helpless for the first part of the game, all your able to do is flee and hide... you get a feeling of oppression by dark forces. You also have a lingering feeling of loosing your grip on sanity...
-
Punch up a page with the 1-18-08 photo of the split girl with the "Face" in the middle. Now go to Rense.com Look at the picture of the Statue Of Liberty exploding. Look at the explosion cloud on the far right of the picture. Just below the top orange part of the explosion...is that the same "face"?
-
i was doing research on the battle of los angeles - the ufo battle in the 40's (allegedly)- and stummbled upon his site two weeks ago. he's just a crackpot. its not a fucking lion. theyre not the same girl. and i dont know what is going on, but anything to replace the week long agony that is waiting for LOST is good for me.
-
The Ethan Haas Sites, are connected to an RPG Video Game being created by Mindstorm Studios.. apparently they are riding publicity Wake of the Abrams project http://www.mindstormlabs.com/products.html
-
No, not really. Gosh, why are people still stuck on that. He says It's Alive, not lion. Think about the statement. Why would he say it's a lion? If it was, wouldn't he say it's some big effin' lion-like creature or something like that? The line just doesn't make sense any other way than "alive"
-
Is that possible?
-
The Trailer is up and can be reviewed.. by the way.. when the er.. creature first makes itself heard.. it seems to be saying something but I have no idea what.. maybe it needs to be played in reverse? http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/11808/
-
This site is somehow connected to the movie.. Apparently Slusho is a drink in the Show Alias.. and charachters in the preview are wearing slusho shirts. http://www.slusho.jp/index.html
-
I had no life. You all have way too much time on your hands. It's summer, unless you're browsing the net at work, get outside for a little while! Fanboys. God. No wonder we're on our way to hell in a handbasket.
-
If it is amonster flick the creature is obviously from the ocean. Lady Libery's head removed. Manhattan being an island. Etc. I know nothing about Cthulhu but from what I have seen, it's a pretty cool base for a movie.
-
I don't know how many people are going to post the same info over and over... does anyone actually READ the TB's before posting?
-
Heh.. yah your right.. but the problem is theres a hundred posts to read here, and theres a ton of sites out there with incomplete information, better to repeat it then to leave it out..
-
I guess I'm just bitter because I spent an hour of my day re-reading the same shit over and over while trying to figure this damned thing out. Granted, I SHOULD be working... so I've got no right to be mad.
-
July 10, 2007, 11:21 a.m. CST
The Wh-Wh-Wh-Whew noise made by Lady Libertys Head..
by HitchCock'n'Balz
Sounds to me like the noise made when something spikey..like the crown on her head...spins at tremendous speed thru the air...kinda like a helicopter ...except way faster..could be wrong..probably am..
-
This site is linked to 1-18-08.com and it has a countdown on it. Is this website a part of this?
-
During the trailer: Just as the lights go out, theres a strange noise.. so help me it sounds like words.. but I cant make it out.. anyone know about this? Also abrams has said theres a ton of sites out there noones found yet..
-
Dunwich.....N'gah r'lyeh...
-
. . . and I'm really getting a kick out of your nerdy arguments
-
That's nice. Thanks for contributing.
-
Nothing has been contributed thus far . . . just inane nerd arguments over hair demons, giant lions, and little yellow men . . . <p> titter . . . tee hee . . . giggle . . . </p> <p>dorks
-
go back to montana
-
can someone post every known site related or possibly related to this...
-
Does the countdown equate to 12:36 GMT for you guys in the states too? If not, this would again indicate it is bollocks as the reveal would be different for everyone and the film hasn't been plugged here in the UK yet, so why would it be set to reveal in GMT?
-
I emailed some 'feedback' to the Slusho folks but no response yet.
-
I've unlocked the video, and have figured out the alphabet they're using, anyone got past the second puzzle..moving the letters around on the little ball thing...I tried EHWR (ethan haas was right) but still got nothing..perhaps Im retarded..or just not so good at puzzles..little help?
-
We're dorks, yet you sat there and read all this just to pretend you're connected to the film to mock people who are having fun with the viral campaign? First and foremost, if you WERE connected to the film, you would have had to sign confidentiality forms... so right off the bat your credibility is ill structured... Also, if you WERE connected to the movie you would be GLAD people are talking about something you had a part in, instead of being a bitch and mocking people for trying to solve whatever puzzles Abrams has put forth. You're just some schlub who likes being the one douchbag who comes into threads to lie and be all, "I'm with the movie...bow to my knowledge" when you're just another dude in the basement calling out to his mom for another round of Tang. God forbid people have some fucking interest in something. Sure, the arguments about hair demoonry is silly, but I'd much rather see people argue about this than politics anyday... this is escapism at it's best, barring drugs, and people like you, who get off on trying to spoil people's fun are what's wrong with the world. I'm done with you, and this thread, until I'm sure you're not hanging around.
-
It's been posted a few times. Nothing is confirmed other than 1-18-08.com but possibly the ethanhaaswasright.com and the ethanhaaswaswrong.blogspot.com site. Then there's the parasitemovie.com but that's got to be a fake. I think they're capitalizing on traffic about Abrams because if you look at the source code they even have like freeware counters on it and whatnot. Very amateurish. In either case, that's pretty much it for now.
-
URL Link#1 http://www.SledRiding.com URL Link#2 http://www.sledriding.com/cloverfield.html URL Link#3 http://parasitemovie.com/ URL Link#4 http://www.tossinggames.com/ And what is the word "buzz" to do with it if we seach google.com?
-
Shut up! Lost hasnt failed. Do you watch the show?, or have you quit? <p> The viral marketing, is not anything more than an extra for fans to get involved. If you dont want any part of this marketing strategy, go elsewhere! Go ride a bike or something. <p> JJ as well as other people in the entertainment field have noticed the power of the internet and media sources. Look at the Nine Inch Nails viral marketing plan for Year: Zero. FANTASTIC. Its a cheap, exciting way to connect with fans, and create buzz. If you want to just see the movie, tv, or listen to a cd...then do that, but dont hate on artistic people attempting to add an additional sourse for fans to connect and help create a buzz.
-
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33104 It's a monster movie about something called "The Parasite" for now.
-
"Buzz" means just that - buzz. As in, internet buzz. As in people talking about something endlessly, promoting whatever it is they're talking about cheaply and broadly. Basically, what we're looking at with this tossing games thing is someone whose site doesn't get traffic suddenly getting traffic. I looked at the Mindstorm website, and the game, Alpha Omega, fits in very nicely with all the Ethan Haas and Mezin Source nonsense. Oh, and its a table-top game from Canada. Damned Canukies . . . So, really, Abrams wasn't bs-ing about the Haas sites having nothing to do with this, in all likelihood.
-
HAHA..Tang. Im not even gonna lie..tang is awesome. HA. For real though. The monster in the hair is a stupid comment, but yeah...its all harmless. Why do people need to be so pessimistic? They want to hate, yet they cant leave, they need to sit on these talkbacks and talk crap...whose the pathetic one, the one who is having a good time, or the one who is bitter, and has nothing better to do, but talk crap on the people doing something fun?
-
Are you new? zoomddy's comments are typical banter in a talkback forum like this one. If you weren't so geeked out about this whole thing maybe you'd be able to lighten up a little. I think its time to take a step back and go for a 20 minute walk so that your brain can recover from its monitor ray overexposure. <p>Back on topic though, since there is the discussion of "little yellow men", maybe this is a viral campaign for AOL. Or maybe that "Little Yellow Man" you see is actually the girl on the right from the other pic.
-
Let the folks have their fun. Coming on here and doing nothing but insulting everyone else...well, apparently some losers are bigger than others. As for the film, who knows. JJ had me with the first season of Lost....and lost me on the second, no pun intended. Perhaps the smokey chain killing machine monster from Lost took a holiday to Manhatten, this could explain its mysterious absence for like an entire season of the series.
-
I made that same joke at the top of this TB about Smokie. Smokie Takes Manhattan! That would be interesting :P
-
Hehe. So I'm not so original, or we're both original and I'm entirely too lazy to ready all these damn posts. :P
-
1-18-08 is the date of an upcoming solar eclipse. might be significant
-
maybe this has something to do with HEROES?? Eclipses and whatnot..maybe this is the long awaited Cap'n Crunch movie, where the Soggies are attacking New York, and trying to make all the cereal in the world mushy!
-
I'm thinking not, but weird coincidence...it's the licence plate of the SUV in the trailer.
-
Not even sure why anyone would think otherwise. The coordinates, monster, relation to water (attacking the Statue of Liberty which is surrounded by water), date etc. It all points to it. I hope it rocks.
-
Got a link? I couldn't find anything about an eclipse.
-
...not the Atlantic. What coordinates are you referring to?
-
No, I'm not new to the Talkbacks, I just post very very rarely... because of crap like this. I get enough stress in my day and it sucks to spar with people verbally, especially when they're stubborn and are just here to hate. We've all got opinions, sure, but I just don't get the pessimism. I'll likely go back into exile after today because I just can't sit here and not say anything when there are people who take it upon themselves to try and ruin shit for everyone when they're having a good time.
-
Here's the response I got back from the Slusho site: Slusho! loves your mails!! You Can't Drink Just Six!!!
-
This url is in reference to the guy who suggest to go check out the top of the building (he is wearig slusho) and here is what I found out as another url link http://slusho.jp
-
Since AICN takes about 3 weeks to catch up, here's the trailer for Get Smart... actually looks promising... http://tinyurl.com/39u6ax
-
I'd go with the second answer. I know that if I didn't get in on this TB from the beginning, there was no way in hell I was going to go through all these damn posts :P
-
Cthulu would be a great movie for JJ's sensibilities. If he loves King enough to buy the rights to Dark Tower, he probably reads Lovecraft. Can't that be assumed? Out of all the theories here, I find the Cthulu theories the most interesting. The rest of the stuff with pictures being shopped, it's just boring, no matter how much time someone's spent on it. The Ethan Haas site was boring, too. For now ... I'm still going with Cthulu. But who has the rights to Cthulu? Anyone know what studio or person? That'd be a quick way to figure out if this is Lovecraft-related or not.
-
This is CLEARLY a trailer for Honey, I Blew Up The Kid 2! Rick Moranis FTW, no0bs!
-
The "Get Smart" teaser is out! http://tinyurl.com/2df6ca
-
At least, the white type on her red jacket looks like it says "Switzerland."
-
Said this before but it was probably missed - Rense.com is NOT part of this viral marketing campaign. That's the website for Jeff Rense, a very real guy who has a radio show and who has been around for a long while. He's like Art Bell but off the reservation - he's more like Alex "America Was Behind 9/11" Jones.
-
A few things: 1) A response to the poster up top, that called us dorks for having this debate.. yes.. we are dorks.. and yes we now control the planet.. so either join us or face the consequences! 2) Ethan Haas right or wrong, is in NO way connected to this JJ Abrams thing.. so get over it.. It is ARG for an RPG game coming out sometime in the future.. (which actually looks pretty cool) 3) As far as I can tell the ONLY websites discovered associated with the JJ Abrams picture are: http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/11808/ - The Teaser Trailer and http://www.slusho.jp/index.html (Im not completely sure about this, but the reference in the trailers to it is to enticing.. plus if you READ THE HISTORY section it gets all sorts of creeped out and weird. My final thoughts for this post are: As much as I wish this was something to do with Cthulu.. Im gonna bet its a Godzilla rip off of some sort.. if not the Big G himself. What Id love for folks to focus on is finding other sites connected to this movie.. Abrams did say that there are sites out there that people HAVE NOT found yet. Good Luck everyone!!!
-
And why can't you drink just six? Wouldn't there be brain freeze? Oh, BTW, the Parasite site is definitely a fan site--several sources are reporting...
-
1-18-08 is NOT the date of an upcoming solar eclipse. See http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/eclipse.html for an eclipse calendar. Nothing listed for that day -- the nearest is 02-07-08.
-
When it turns out to be Hello Kitty: The Movie?
-
Ive been following this, and i have to say, i think that it is wierd what JJ left in caps in his email ASS FOUND THAT (AICN) Also, in the video, theres a piece of paper on the fridge(in the trailer), thats mostly covered up, but says (caps for definite letters, small for what i am guessing): Your LIFE HAS nothinG ??
-
Suckaaaaaaaa.
-
Change.. overcoming me.. urge to kill rising..strange tentacles sprouting from ears... neeeeddddd..slllussshooooo...
-
cudcud you totally lost me? Are you talking about the autoreply from the slusho email site?
-
I've cracked the code... an anagram for ASS FOUND THAT is Shaft Anus Dot. Fuckin pay me.
-
I'm sold
-
Hahahahah.. So Shaft Anus Dot drinks slusho?
-
He's talking about the letter Abrams sent Harry, the words ASS, FOUND and THAT were all written in capital letters.... while I assume he capitalized them for dramatic or emphasizing effect, some people think it means something. These people are grasping at straws, methinks.
-
You're close. The movie is clearly about Hello Cthulhu! Sponsored by Sanrio.
-
July 10, 2007, 12:41 p.m. CST
rxsheepxr. The Smart trailer has been on the site
by Col. Tigh-Fighter
all day! lol <p> Suckaaaaaaaa
-
Awesome...we've gone from a movie revolving around Cthulhu to soft-drink style suppositories.
-
The site is funny as shit. I hope SLUSHO turns everyone in the United States into big fish. If they can keep this shit up, I will buy a six-pack of Slusho in attempts to turn myself into a fish. <br><br> Lovin' it.
-
Slusho is made of people - the scary yellow people!
-
LMAO...Maybe that's why Lady Liberty's head seems smaller.
-
I've had the site up for awhile, and the photos are definitely turning and now the one time stamped 12:01 am is vibrating. Also, www.abz3293.com was posted already, the site states "I am in need of the driver of an SUV - New York Plate ABZ 3293 He has an item, that is considered a family heirloom. If you know who this person is, or where I could find him please leave a comment."
-
@ Hello Kitty: The Movie
-
If you reverse the spelling of Slusho you get: Ohsuls.. OHSULS!!!! Oh Suls??? Ohhhh Sulllllss!!! Oh Sully? Sully sounds like Bully.. Bullys pick on Dorks.. Dorks rule the world.. World.. sounds like Swirl.. Swirls of Fruit Flavored goodness are found in Slushies.. Slusho is a slushie.. dear god I just fried my brains.. do you see how it all relates????
-
A horse, breathing underwater, dreaming of an oven mitt. (It's on the History page.) Sounds like something you see when you're high... OMG, Slusho is liquid peyote!!
-
Is it just me.. or does that frozen drink look appetizing?
-
Who are hating on this taking place in NYC and who wants to see monsters destroy NYC again, blah, blah - Who said that NYC is the only location this giant monster/demigod destruction is taking place? We see these handful of people for 30 second but what if they are just a small part of the movie? Or if they are even in the movie? If it is a Cthulhu-esque story (and I hope that it is) this could and should be some world-wide shit! And other kind of "duh" but worth reiterating and considering points - if whatever it is, is smacking the shit out of the Statue of Liberty's head all the way into midtown Manhattan then A) it's coming from the water and B) it's a least a few hundred-feet tall considering the size of the statue and depth of the water she is in as one would hope a respectable Cthulhu would be. Unless of course it's flying...
-
Whatever your opinion of the trailer and the 1-18-08 site, this viral strategy with it's cryptified content will only gain more momentum; providing that is, the intent to actually reveal something is there, otherwire Abrams may well invoke the ire of many of his targeted ticket buyers. My biggest bug-bear with Lost is the lack of any significant resolution to the multitude of plot strands that wickedy keep propagating. Inspite of this or even because of it I remain hooked, it's the sense of mystery and some phantom conspiracy that drives the show - but the real trick is to conceive of a fitting pay-off to it all, one that does'nt leave the audience feeling short changed. Anyhow I hope that this 'nameless' flick is what most think it to be, a Lovecraftian doomsday potboiler. I like the tack Abram's has taken with this advance promotion, certainly more interesting than the SOP marketing that floods the net, and it did'nt do the original Blairwitch any harm.
-
if you rewrite the date in UK form it becomes 18-1-2008. A quick google of 1812008 gives you the following (probably coincidental...) link. http://allpoetry.com/poem/1812008 entitled Hell Will Be Here by Ellis... The unsaved will be consumed by fire. I believe what God's Word has to say. After the Rapture and Tribulation dire 1,000 year Reign, and Judgement Day... Volcanoes erupt everywhere on earth. Fire and brimstone melt the present earth's crust. God's rebels meet second death, not birth, And -PERISH- back into everlasting dust.
-
When you're right, you're right. I still beat that other dude to it, at least. ......fucking aicn, making me look like a dick when you KNOW I'm right in saying they're generally WAY behind.... for most things... of course they'd pick the one day I decide to post to fuck me over. Bitches. :P
-
Ok so if I recall correctly, from my catholic school upbringing, when the end of the world comes, one of the beasts released is called Leviathan a sea creature that runs amuk and such, while not lovecraftian, still pretty creep.
-
Clive Barker also talks of creatures from the Deep raining destruction on the Earth in Abarat... but this is definitely not that. Not even remotely. But the creatures in the water would fit perfectly.
-
Father Dagon awaits. <p> That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.
-
That website wasn't functional last night, my guess someone bought it and set it up real quick to mess with us.
-
If you leave the 1-18-08 site up for a while the pictures start rotating. heh creepy
-
The creature is a 100ft Red Herring that broke out of the Lost writers room.
-
According to the e-mail I got, Slusho loves my mail. Fat load of help that does.
-
Although this is an interesting little place to visit...

The street in the movie doesn't exist. It's a composite of different areas of Broadway and East 5th Avenue so they could have the Empire State building in the shot, along with the yellow textiles sign that actually exists near 401 Broadway, and the Saga America billboard at the intersection of Broadway and Grant Street, two blocks north. Still trying to find that pesky "___ of joy ____ rub" awning. Slusho's special ingredient seems to be methane-hydride, a compound found at the bottom of the ocean which forms in high pressure and cold temperatures. And if you happened to eat any of it you would probably inflate to the size of the whale as the gases are released from the ice-like material. ASS, FOUND, THAT, and AICN are an anagram for FANATIC THOUSANDS. Wishful thinking.
-
ABZ? Maybe Abdul Alhazred, author of the Necronomicon?
-
How did you find out about the secret ingredient in Slusho? A theory based on what they say in the history or did you actually find some sort of ingredient list on the slusho site?
-
How come that Get Smart link doesn't have a trailer when i click on it?
-
it says "exit mystery st." a few times on the fridge in the trailer, could that be something? looks like it also says "LIFE" and "HAS" on the fridge.

zetatalk.com. ZetaTalk leads you through the vast amount of information being relayed by the Zetas in answer to questions posed to their emissary, Nancy. Nancy became aware of her contactee status in 1993, and the potential for being a communicator of the Zeta message, in the midst of a full life with a family and a full time job. As a contactee, Nancy participated in the hybrid program, and met one of her hybrid children. In preparation for her communicator role, Nancy was given life form introductions and introduced to MJ12 at an early age. Nancy expends her retirement time and money on getting the ZetaTalk message out. Requests for interviews take top priority. She quit a professional job in California in 1999 to move to Wisconsin to walk the talk. Born in Wisconsin, Nancy returned to her grandparent's homestead, where she first met the Zetas in the woods as a young girl. There, she gardens, saves seed, raises chickens, and tries to be an example of how people should prepare for the coming changes. A script written by Nancy in 1997 to depict the Passage is being considered for development into a movie, with a companion documentary on ZetaTalk. A ZetaTalk book was produced in 1998, and the basic message remains the same. A CD compilation of lectures is also available to the public.

That is what that explosion was, an "Earth Fart". On Monday, Jan 8, 2007 there were reports of what appeared to be a monstrous gas leak in New York City and nearby Jersey City. No gas leak was ever found. Rochester, NY reported 4 broken water mains during this same time frame. Marine tankers report their alarms for methane going off, but no leaks found. About a dozen people were taken to hospitals complaining of breathing problems. Then the reports from around the world started pouring in, all seeming to be happening simultaneously. Italy evacuated people from Genova and Bologna due to gas leaks, an explosion killing one. London closed their tube lines due to suspected gas leaks, smells. Australia had water main breaks in Adelaide, and gas smells evacuated a mall in Perth where several were hospitalized as a result. No gas leak was ever located. Here in the US reports came in from Ohio smells, and a factory explosion, cause unknown. Nashville, TN, gas line leak. Mobile, AL gas leak. Blue Springs, MO gas leak with explosion and evacuation. Dallas, TX smells and in Houston a factory fume leak, cause unknown, and in Austin dead birds, cause unknown. Iowa, a pond bubbling. Albuquerque, MN city evacuated due to gas smells. Half Moon Bay, CA evacuated due to smells, Santa Barbara marine tanker alarms due to methane, no leak found, and Oxnard freeway closed due to gas main break. So what is causing this sudden release of methane, along with obvious gas and water main breaks and factory explosions. Also, is this methane from the Earth making people sick, and killing birds? www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta349.htm

Conjecture, from their description of the special ingredient in their History, and the fact that methane-hydride is similar in description, in method of discovery, and in needing to keep it ice-cold so it doesn't start melting and releasing its gas. <p> I'm doing the best I can to pound on the trailer for whatever other secrets it holds, including what brand of Chinese green tea is at 00:24 on the computer monitor. It popped out at me because the box is similar to one I have myself.

is registered to a guy in Malaysia, slusho is registered to a guy in Japan. Dates don't match either--may be unrelated...

Ok so on a random seach I tried http://www.yoshidagroup.com/index I doubt it connected but the wackiness of the people involved in this company might lead me to think its connected to SLusho.

Well Tribble not only has a spot mentioning the heirloom is a book, but a few spots down mentions that "Paramount Pictures Mediaedge:cia Mediaedge:cia has been awarded the $900 million Paramount Pictures International and Paramount Home Entertainment global media account." Maybe a connection after all, I left a comment about the book to see if I could get more info.

The Yoshida Group is completely real. I know. Weird. But I live in Portland, and although I haven't seen the building itself (big city), the newspapers and press matches, and I even remember reading an article about this whack job guy a year ago ... <br><br> In other news, I was bored and found more random coincidental stuff that I'm 99.9% sure, has no relevance.<br> The Smallest Whale, which is what they called Noriko Yoshida according to the SLUSHO site, is also a book by Elisabeth Beresford. When you look up Noriko Yoshida on IMDB.com, you come up with a Japanese screenplay writer who had two films that starred a Satoshi (the guy you email on the SLUSHO site). One of which also starred Sonny Chiba. Ha. <br><br> On the license plate site, in the upper righthand corner, there are links to other people who have linked to it or visited it (can't understand). One of which was some advertising company that also had a note about how they were looking for a person who stole their family heirloom. They added the fact that the person would be around 25 years old. <br><br> All the talk of a family heirloom/recipe sounds like a good idea for someone stealing the SLUSHO thing and trying to bring it to the public's attention. Maybe the hero guy who everyone is cheering as he goes away (to where?). But now ... I must go do real life shit! It's been fun being a shitty detective with all of you.

So says Nancy of zetatalk,.com: ZETA-HUMAN HYBRIDS, MANKINDS NEXT LEAP FORWARD. Many contactees, women, report visitations where babies are placed in their arms, babies they understand to be theirs. There are emotions of love and anguish as the babies are taken back. Other women report times when they are sure they are pregnant, the pregnancy even confirmed at the doctors office, then disappearing. This is often presented, particularly by Budd Hopkins, as a traumatic event, abduction and forced pregnancy with removal of the fetus. But the accounts belie this, as why present a baby later, for a loving contact? I, Nancy, participated in the development of Zeta-Human hybrids during my teens and early twenties, recalled under hypnosis.

Ethan Haas is a character in that silly new dragon movie. GOT IT!!!
-
Dragonball Z the Movie
-
Ethan is the main character's name
-
Hehehehe... what the heck is going on?
-
I'm assuming D-War is a Paramount production? That would explain why they took the videos off of Youtube...
-
In still think the Ethan Haas website is for D-War. Looking at it and the D-War official site - I see too many similarities.
-
Not Cthulhu, not Godzilla, or a Host remake. "I saw it, it's a liar, it's huge!" He's referring to a giant Uncle Sam walking around the streets bombing and smashing up NY. Just like he did on 9/11. Nothing could terrorize that city more then our own government. He's pissed. What was he really doing with her head before he tossed it?
-
I saw alot of the stuff you did, maybe you'll be interested to read what I've culled so far. http://www.jasonwindsor.com/blog
-
The anagram that makes the most sense of this phrase is "convincing he is so". Not sure if that means anything but...
-
The character in D-War is Ethan Kendrick not Ethan Haas, as somebody else pointed out. Therefore the Ethan Haas website has nothing to do with D-War. Also the guy in the videos on the Ethan Haas website is named Van, he is only refering to Ethan Haas, usually in past tense...ie, he's dead. Lastly, somebody stated that the Ethan Haas site is for a game not a movie. Sheesh some people need to read what has already been posted.

But you're still a commie fucktard.

...and that it turns out that the city we see in the Cloverfield trailer is a tiny community of people being fucked around by Jack from Lost, who is Gulliver to their Lilliput. They dared to call him a whiny bitch, so he knocked the head the hell off their Statue! Yeah!<P> Seriously, we've only got a roaring sound to go on and a fucking maddening unsolvable puzzle site. Yes, you're all talking about it, but according to you it's gonna be anything from the Great Cthulhu (it BETTER BE!!) to a 100 foot red herring that escaped from Lost (very good ;D) to a fucking lion (A LION?!?! Are you people REAL?) to a Voltron (whatever the fuck a Voltron is).<P> It SHOULD be Cthulhu, but I'd go with Godzilla.

you damn lion hearing people are smoking something that guy says i saw it in the light its alive its huge

and you can move them around. It looks like a demon or a statue of one between the girls. You all aren't just now figuring that out are you?

I called the number just now... got nothing but a single tone, then nothing....

Notice there's a paper on the frig between some photos that to me looks just like the writing on the EthanHass site. JJ said that there's no link to that site. And also there's a paper that says "your life has meaning".

No, it's been like that all day, and the "demon" is just hair... unless you're really grasping at straws :P I think everything BUT the one little thing that no one's identified has already been mentioned.

Well, not ripping off exactly, but check out this On The Lot submission that's basically the same thing: http://films.thelot.com/films/18730

and you get an interesting result. http://tinyurl.com/2z2h9a In the center of the image where the hair of the girl meets the shoulder of the man an object is formed. It appears to be a horse and if you follow the mane(hair) down then the creature mentioned earlier begins to make sense. Are we looking at perhaps death riding its horse? if you look at the shadow on the girl to the right it looks like a bent arm which extends just above her eye and forms a sickle at the end with her eyebrow. Or maybe i too have fallen in to the hype.

... it's for the ATIS service at Santa Monica airport. ATIS (in this case) is Automatic Terminal Information Service, BUT it can also stand for Adventure Thru Inner Space which was a Disney attraction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Thru_Inner_Space I don't really see how it correlates, especially with it being a Disney property and not a Paramount one but it's something. It's also possible that there's something in the air traffic control hint to indicate that something crashes into the water near the Statue of Liberty in NYC rather than simply rising up from underneath it at the beginning.
-
It's kind of interesting that Slusho comes from the sea, is hit upon in the form of dream that is imparted by a giant sea creature. Of additional interest is the fact that this 'dream' is imparted to anyone who ingests this stuff. Dreams, ocean depths, and offspring...interesting.
-
this is a 100% confirmation for Slusho being connected to the movie http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/Xraven33/SLusho.png on his shirt, bottom right
-
Damnit, now I really want one.
-
... interesting side-note. There's a website here: http://www.pilotage.com/airports/smo/home.html which lists one of the companies at the airport as Cloverfield Aviation & Jet Center... curiouser and curiouser or just a communist herring? You decide!

First off I love the people posting about how much they hate this trailer and hate these websites and stuff yet they post about it and what it all may be... Second has anyone noticed before the head hits the building the big sign that says 401 Broadway on the side of the building... Im familiar with the building but can't remember if theres actually a sign on the side of it. Could be a clue 401broadway.com just has the words 401 broadway and a few dots on it... Also the statue's head looks no longer than the car it rolls by (I don't know if anyone else has been in the head of the statue but I could'nt fit in that one).... And if the head actually was thrown into a building would there really be a giant explosion?
-

Please note, that the nature of this story, should it be about Cthulhu, has next to no relationship to the story by Lovecraft entitled 'Call of Cthulhu'. They could easily be released at the same time without any duplication in plot or title.
-
One of them is also found here.
-
As others have said, Paramount has the Ethan Haas stuff taken off of YouTube, so therefor, they must have something to do with the site. So if it's not related to Cloverfield, what the hell is it?
-
Thank you, saved me tons of time guessing actual image formats.
-
But didn't Lovecrafts writings, or at least Cthulu mythos stuff, go public domain recently? <p>Also, just because Brian Yuzna is doing some DTV Cthulhu movie doesn't mean shit. <p>(Yeah, I'm obviously still holding onto the slight hope that this is, in fact, a Cthulhu/Lovecraft-inspired movie... pleaaaase J.J., you could make a fan out of me with this.)
-
Really? No reaction for Inhumanoids? Another property owned by Hasbro with a character called Tendril that looks SPOT ON for a Cthulhu creature? First shown as a trailer for Hasbro's biggest line of TF? No one? Surprising.
-
from the head hitting the building. They just want it to look cool. Did this creature carry the head that far or knock it off and it sailed from the statue. Or is it a didn't head all together?
-
Would be if JJ simply made a giant monster movie that was ONLY about the main characters trying to survive/deal with the situation. No explanations, no super scientists, no black magic, or any of that shit. Just a handful of people trying to cope with this bizarre situation.
-
I think it's either Lost related or it's a completely new monster/threat, not a remake or a sequel or whatnot.
-
I'd be willing to bet that we never see the monster/alien/whatever in JJ's film.
-
And yes it's the airport, just speaking about visibility and other code speak. I understand none of it, but it's all just a dead end... i think.
-
this must be the most cross-examined teaser trailer in history (including Transformers, The Phantom Menace, Return of the King and Spider-Man)

Rob screams it out just before the Statue of Liberty's head comes crashing through the building. Girl: What is it? Is it coming this way? Guy: I saw it! It's alive! It's HUGE! Rob: Anybody seen Jensen? (Jason?) Anyone else catch that? Could be important.
-

It seriously sounds like "Genesis", then real qucikly, "Jason" "Anyone seen Genesis" "Anyone seen Jason" Weird

-
If you read the Slusho history page, this whole thing starts to make alot more sense. There's a whole story on that site about a mysterious "ingredient" found on the sea floor. The guy who found it didn't know what to do with it. Then, one night he had a dream where he was a tiny fish and drank the liquid and turned into a huge whale. Now, combine that with the guy running away in the trailer who most definitely says "It's a lion; it's huge," and I think it's obvious that this about a mysterious substance that makes living things grow into tremendous sizes.
-
"Iron Man lives again!!!!!"<br><br>"Kills the people he once saved," indeed.
-
Ok, fo rthe record, I think the dude says, "I saw it, it's alive, it's huge." BUT the first "roar"/"voice" sounds like a womans voice saying, "The Weather...., but more like The Weathaaaaaaaaaa -> into a roar." "In like a lion, out like a lamb" has been said about weather, and weather is also a powerful force seen weilded by god. I don't really know, I'm just trying to watch the trailer and piece togther what ever I can. That first voice/roar is really creepy though!

my theories about the 1_18_08 pics, same girl with different lights sources on each half of her face 9trust me, the face DOES line up) About the yellow person, has her tongue out and once again, she's probably close to a "yellow" light, let's not overthink things shall we?
-
or is everyone convinced its voltron the movie
-
the stuff that "makes sense," because this mumbo jumbo is a wild chase if there's no coordination. <br><br> No one says "lion." Lions ... not even, or ever, a possibility. <br><br> The only "official" lead is SLUSHO and 1-18-08. Those sites add to the story. So, it's about something from the water? A soft drink that dares people to drink more than six. From Japan, while this main hero guy is taking a trip to Japan, and everyone's having a going away party for him. Why? <br><br> Then the timeson the photos. 12:01 am. 12:36 am. The stickers on the fridge. Mystery Street. Other than the old 1950 noir detective movie, I don't know anything about mystery street. <br><br> And let's get off of the photoshop the two faces trail, too.

Think there's any meaning to the clock on the shelf behind the girl at 28 seconds into the trailer? The time looks like 11:15 to me, but I'm not sure. Would fit in with the 12:01 and the 12:36 timeline, just earlier at the party.
-
Come on, that Ethan Haas website has production values far too high to be anything other than official film publicity. It's cool JJ, I'm a fan and all, but you are totally lying. Can't say I wouldn't do the same thing if i was in your position, though. Maybe you just shouldn't have mentioned it?

Seriously, stop with the Ethan Haas its an ARG that is going to be connected to a video game RPG that will be coming out.
-
I love your user name

The buttons are basically what they appear to be, in Japanese. While my kanji is very rusty, I can still read katakana and hiragana, and the Japanese writing is basically correctly translated. <p> I'm personally awaiting additional features to be added to the slusho site first. I haven't found any significance to the slusho cups on the bottom of the page yet, but their placement seems numerologically significant.
-
Just a thought, that always bugged me why in the blair witch project they decided to keep the cameras rolling ALL THE TIME.
-
Stop mentioning Voltron. The only reason that surfaced is because someone thought the dude said "lion." Even if he did say that, the mecha Voltron would not be attacking New York; he always fought in space. Onward, I believe JJ is telling the truth about it not being Haas-related. Probably wants to tear people away from whatever the hell that is, and bring us to discovering his websites and mysteries. Focus on the trailer. Shit's got to be there. As far as Cthulhu, I guess it could be. If it is, the sense of aweful dread just isn't in the teaser. I can't believe I solved those damn Haas puzzles to get at Reeves' project. Wish I would have known it's not related.

are people still fighting about the alive/lion thing?
by RockLobster800
think about it people-how liable is it in a project of such secrecy that they are onna just tell people he thing is a lion? seriously like, what are the chances of them making a movie about a giant fooking ion or even someone casually runnin from it and briefly saying "its a lion". Think about it-how stupid would all that be? Does him sayin "its alive" not keep the shroud of mystery up a bit more? For fucks sake....
-
I, too, will be truly pissed if Ethan Haas really has nothing to do with Cloverfield. Also, Human2, thanks for looking out!
-
Abrams is the one responsible for naming so many Lost characters after Pinback songs or if Hurley, Rousseau, and Penelope were just coincidences.
-
why are you guys still talkign about it here?There's a forum now for both the haas thing and the 1/18/08 thing!! http://haasclover.jconserv.net
-
the game that people are connecting with the ethan haas sites is a table top RPG game not a video game, which makes it seem somewhat unlikely that the ethan haas stuff is connected to Alpha Omega, but who knows maybe table top RPGs are still popular and worth doing such an ad campaign...
-
Lol. Not for long.
-
I think we need to be trying to figure out whatever clues are on there: 1. What's with the weird shit the animals are thinking about?; 2. What's with the cups at the bottom?; 3. Can we find anything interesting elsewhere by entering the names in the history section into Google?
-
is right on the money with that one. Like I said earlier, it doesn't make sense for the line to be "lion" for many reasons. One is what he just said. Another is that even ignoring the fact that it would give something away, does it make sense for the person to say lion? Even if it was a lion, he'd say something like "I saw it! It's some kind of lion!" Because obviously it's not a real lion if it's 100 feet tall, so he wouldn't just call it a lion anyways. You see where I'm going with this? Jeebus people, please drop that line of thought and let's get to figuring out Abrams' damn websites.
-
what do you mean?
-
The only game that ships the 1st of August is Quake Wars, which does not need a marketing campagin like this to make an impact.
-
It kept telling me "Database could not be found. I thought it crashed. My bad.
-
I lined up the original and the copy of the two girls, looks like the same chick to me, also. Is anyone else getting a slow spinning effect from them, too? It seems to be random, but who knows?
-
Tabletop RPG, not PC/Console
-
it's a free forum so if u get any errors keep refreshing the site. It works great but it can be a little wobbly at times :]
-
Save your breath, dude. They will not stop saying they heard the guy say "It's a lion" until the movie comes out and it isn't a fucking lion. For, like, three straight days now I have been trying to tell people that he isn't saying "lion". There are people on both IMDB and YouTube who have played with the audio in the trailer--removing backgorund noise, slowing it down, etc.--and the word "alive" is unmistakeable. I am just as sick of hearing that this is the "Rampage" movie. I mean, c'mon...RAMPAGE? You have got to be fucking kidding me. Look, this is most likely a new monster, although it is certainly possible that it is "inspired" by Lovecraft or any number of other, existing properties. But I would be willing to bet my left nut that it isn't about a giant lion of any kind and that it isn't the Rampage movie (or any other video game adaptation), either. Also, let's put to rest the whole "It's a demon behind the two girls in the picture" bullshit and the "weird, yellow, floating head" crap while we're at it. If we are going to waste our valuable time on this shit, let's at least waste it trying to find the sites that JJ claims are out there...and let's also figure out what the fuck is up with all the weird shit on the Slusho! site. Stop chasing bullshit "clues" that stem from bad hearing, etc., and let's start to figure this shit out.
-
That spinning effect is a bug in Flash. I can confirm that for you. And they are not the same person. Look again. I don't care how lined up they are, that's intentional, I'm sure. One of the girls is black and the other is white. Look at the shape of the eyes and the nose, they don't match up. Unless she's some sort of mongoloid hybrid mutant thing with two different skin tones even. :P We need new info people! We're spinning our wheels on the same things. We need to move on and figure some of this out. Where is the AICN geek detective squad?
-
http://www.ethanhaas. org/ Remove spaces and thank me later. Or damn me if you are wasting as much time on this as I am.
-
Heh.
-
It could be a lion but nobody says its a lion.. it could be anything.... who the fuck knows.. he definitely says I saw it it's alive its huge!.. and the 2 girls are not the same... 1:27 into the video it shows both girls together outside right before the picture was probably taken....
-
I think you're right, brutha. I am wasting my breath. I completely agree with you - no demon, no weird yellow floating head, no lion, no voltron, probably not Cthulhu (though that would rock), and no Rampage. Let's put our heads together and get these clues uncovered! But later for me. Time to leave work and go home :P See you all in a bit, I'm sure. Damn TB's always draw me back in. Haha
-
*bump* :P
-
I still have the first window I opened from the website http://www.1-18-08.com/ the version that would let you zoom in, and out, and play. anyway, the pictures started of vibrating, now they are REALLY SHAKING.
-
Cloverfield; Cloverleaf; 4 Leaf Clover... The Bog Hound from The Real Ghostbusters cartoon!!! More plausible than Voltron.
-
Kurzinski Valentine <p> Found that site earlier, and was excited about it. Did not have time to read all the posts here, and missed some earlier reference to it. Excuse me for offending you, oh Holy asshat of the AICN talkbacks. Get out of your mother's underwear, and thank a fella for trying to help out, even if it was already posted. Some people may have missed it, as I did, and may see my short concise post. BTW, idiots who try to flame others for trying to help should develop some type of social skills, and not just try to regulate the internet.
-
at 00:39 in the trailer right before the first explosion, you hear a girls voice...can anyone figure out what she's saying?
-
run over by a bus. Coincidence? I think not.
-
(i hope someone already posted this so i piss off kurzinski) The major explosion seems to be spreading outwards in all directions... just to debunk a Godzilla movie... i believe his blast was more directional. Then again it could be just another crappy action movie where physics mean nothing. Anyway, small probably unimportant fact, but the writer was raised in Los Alamos where they did the 'manhattan project' oh, and i believe someone already asked the question... did the 'monster' carry the statue of liberty downtown before tossing the head? Certainly looks like it's coming from an odd direction. How many times are trailers going to try and duplicate the impact of the first 'Twister' teaser trailer?
-
*bump* hey why not talk about what you think in a more organized manner?!
-
Why can't people see that the girl is the same? One's white and one's black is the stupidest arguement. There is no way people could change someones skin color on the internet is there? Oh God no! Of course not! The pictures completely line up. The lips and nose are identical and the eyebrows only look a little diff. because of lighting.
-
The Real Ghostbusters cartoon did an episode on Cthulu
-
I just think that this campaign doesn't make much sense really. I mean, first we have a teaser wich look very much like an Independence day film or maybe a monster movie ala Godzilla, secondly we have the two photographs which looks a bit like some horror/suspense stuff which is an entirely different genre Imho. What do you guys think?
-
what are you talking about....watch the trailer...the photos are taken directly from the trailer.
-
JJ is going to be at Comic Con in San Diego for a Paramount panel... Maybe he'll give some new insight or some clues to all of this
-
When all the people are running off the roof, I hear someone say "Ahhhhhh"!!! I slowed down the video, examined the audio and I've got it. It's Divine Secrects of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood II. Yessss!
-
Lets look at what we know now. So it has been said that this movie is about some parasite. On the Slusho site, it says that the makers son, Ganu, discovered a deep sea ingredient and had a dream that after drinking lots and lots of this ingredient, he went from a small fish to a whale. This ingredient has to be kept in extreme cold in order to survive. Everyone who drinks Slusho tastes Noriko's dream and becomes a small whale like Noriko because you want to drink huge amounts of Slusho. And then the site says, "Bet you can't drink just six." So I'm going to guess and say that when you drink more than six of these things it will turn you in to a monstrously hidiously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength.
-
Really? I didn't notice that. Gonna watch it again.
-
do you hear that? shh...hold on...ITS FUCKING GODZILLA! HE PICKED UP THE STATUE OF LIBERTY'S HEAD ON HIS WAY IN FROM THE OCEAN! or Voltron...
-
if you look at the pic on 1-18-08 of the guy drinking and zoom 425% on the 3rd picture that makes up the first 'S' on the "Miss You" sign, you can clearly see that it's a picture of JJ wearing a shirt that reads "Fanboys R Stoopid"... so how's that for a clue?
-
I hear a girl say around the 40 sec mark. "It's sounds like a lion". ..........................No I hear her say "It sounds like an animal."
-
I'm thinkin' he's come to life again, and this is just extra hype for the Simpsons movie. Just sayin'....
-
*bump bump* remember things get solved better with teamwork....and booze.....well maybe not the booze.....
-
18 cups total on every page 5 of the cups hve SLUSHO in them 13 are empty The number 6 starts off the Japanese line under the slogan 8 seaweed tentacles on the history pages Other observations - The horse is the only creature that does not cycle in the hstory animations The Cousin in the history is the only family member mentioned but not named. The ingredient is found under amazing pressure in the extreme cold - anyone know where on the ocean floor this would be - highest pressure and lowest temps? Ganu assumes his mother dies but this is not expressly stated in the history.
-
the faces hardly line up at all. What the fuck kind of mirrors do you look in at home? Seriously, the teeth don't work, the nostrils are slightly off. The folds of skin below the eyes aren't the same. There' are plenty of other clues out there. Get off this red herring already.
-
That line just don't make much sense.. Unless the film takes place the day after Godzilla was defeated and all of New York is busy celebrating and suddenly the stuff in the trailer happens. An I'm not supporting the It's a Lion theory, It really sounds like It's alive imho. But that does not change the fact that The "It's alive" line only makes sense if the guy is seeing something that should be dead and isn't...
-

of "The Stuff" HILARIOUS
-
First time poster, but I had to throw my two cents in. An open-minded friend of mine suggested that we don't necessarily need to be looking for NEW sites, when clues could come from existing ones. So, at 47 seconds, "AKM", try http://www.akm.com. At 1:12, "2004 ACE", try http://ace2004.isr.ist.utl.pt/ . They might be a stretch...but they also seem related to one another. Probably barking up the wrong tree, but wanted to throw the idea out into the wild. Thoughts?
-
Are definetly not in the trailer, so I still think that this is a weird combination of Giant monster film combined with suspense/horror(the two pictures). If it wasn't for the big monster thingy in this trailer I would say that this looks most like some asain horror remake (because of the handheld camera combined with spooky stuff)
-
It could be something that we normally don't think of as being alive. Like a giant bowl of Jell-O or something. Haha.
-
"I saw it... It's a lawyer. And it's huge!" - that quote from the trailer is simply below the belt. Whatever have the lawyers done to you, J. J.?
-
Exactly! Beware of the giant Jell-O It will destroy...Your teeth with it's Sugar..Ray? :D
-
Dude, I hope you are the last person who raises this as an issue, because this is at least the third time I've presented this theory: If this is a "realistic" movie about some kind of giant monster, then you have to figure the people are going to behave "realistically". Now, in the real world, I have absolutely NO concern for giant monster attacks. So little concern, in fact, that if I witnessed what everyone was seeing in the trailer, I would probably assume it was either a meteor or some other naturally occuring space-born object striking the earth or some kind of insane terrorist attack. Given that assumption, imagine my surpirse when, after approaching ground zero, I saw some sort of huge, unidentifiable living animal/creature shambling around. Now, I am no pussy, but I will tell you right now that I would be scared shitless under these circumstances. I would, of course, start running for my fucking life. I would also try to do the decent thing and at least attempt to warn all the curious people who were trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening...which is why, although I wouldn't slow down enough to thoroughly explain the details of the situation, I would definitely scream some sort of warning. Under those circumstances, "I saw it (whatever is causing all the destruction)! It's alive (a living creature as opposed to a meteor/bomb/etc.)! It's huge!" makes perfect sense to me. I mean, sure, the guy COULD have screamed "I saw it! It's a giant fucking monster!"...but maybe they thought it might be a bit more cryptic this way, hmm?
-
I’d love for the plot to involve a religious apocalypse, and do not ignore the possible “clues” which would support this notion which MIGHT be present in both photos on the 1-11-08 site: the “demon imp”/lock of hair which some have discerned between the faces of the girls), and the garish, nasty smirking yellow demon imp adorned with the number “6" which lurks in the background in the second picture. Additional “clues” include another use of the number 6 in the hyperbolic sales pitch, “Bet you can’t drink just SIX!”; the rising of the roaring beast from the sea and the “alive” v. “a lion” debate (i.e., the sea beast of Revelation 13, which has the feet of a bear, THE MOUTH OF A LION, and the body of a leopard with 7 heads and 10 horns); numerology interpretation of the date 1-18-08, in that 18 “symbolizes materialism trying to destroy the spiritual side of nature” and 18 is the added number of 666, which is the traditional “number of the beast”; etc.<p> Unfortunately, the Slusho! website suggests that the film might merely be an ambitious of the mad-scientist creates giant-monster movie, with metaphysical overtones.<p> Clearly “Slusho!” is a dangerous and possibly parasitic product. On its website, the bizarre “history” of Slusho! is cheerily acclaimed a story “of magic and triumph.” We are told that a young girl named Noriko “dedicated her life to refreshment!” Alarmingly, as a child, “her classmates called her ‘the Smallest Whale’ because she would DRINK ENDLESS AMOUNTS of beverages at every meal.” She was so devoted to loving and drinking “libations,” in fact that she shunned ordinary friendship and fun to instead concentrate her time and attention on combining “fruits, vegetables and other natural ingredients...to make great new beverages.” Although apparently anti-social, “her deliciousness” made her beloved throughout her community.<p> Noriko, however, was “NEVER SATISFIED” and yearned to create a new flavor so unique that it would best her every prior concoction. She left behind her son (a budding scientist with a similar interest in experimentation) to search the globe for “the GREATEST, TASTIEST INGREDIENT in the world.” Tragically, she disappeared “and was never heard from again.”<p> In his mother’s absence, Noriko’s bereaved son Ganu attempted to carry on her life’s work, but ultimately abandoned the tasty-flavored-drink business to become a leading marine scientist. Later, however, in a twist of fate, “he and his teammates discovered a unique “DEEP-SEA INGREDIENT.” While pondering the use of this material, Ganu had a dream in which he was a “tiny fish” who meets with “a whale” who instructs him to drink the substance. In his dream, he goes on to drink “LOTS AND LOTS” of the ingredient until he “grows into an ENORMOUS WHALE.” Ganu awakens from his dream convinced that he has found “the MAGIC INGREDIENT” that his mother had hoped to discover. <p> Thereafter, Ganu determines that he will “make his mother’s DREAM live” by making “the TASTIEST DRINK” on earth. In order to manufacture the drink in a “fresh” state, the material would need to be removed from the very deep, very cold, highly pressurized ocean floor in its “near-frozen state.” <p> Having conceived this plan, Ganu returned to his mother’s business to create a drink comprised of this “new ingredient” - Slusho! <p> The “history” ends with the happy admonition that “EVERYONE WHO DRINKS SLUSHO! TASTES NORIKO’S DREAM AND BECOMES A SMALL WHALE LIKE NORIKO - BECAUSE YOU WANT TO DRINK HUGE AMOUNTS OF SLUSHO! BET YOU CAN’T DRINK JUST SIX!” <p> Seemingly “Rob” is moving to Japan (in a probable homage to traditional giant, city-destroying monsters awakened from dormancy by mankind’s rapacious treatment of the planet). In a “twist,” Rob may be moving to work with the company producing “Slusho!” (If so, the movie may become too cute for its own good...) The apparent sea monster seemingly enters the city from the harbor (as evidenced by the destruction of the Statute of Liberty), and is probably a mutated Noriko, or Ganu, or some other Slusho!-slurping soul. (Maybe only a “little whale” preceding the climactic appearance of Big Mama Whale...) Assuming that Slusho! actually plays a significant part in the finished film and is not merely a red herring, it seems likely that ingestion of the “special ingredient” can cause the drinker to mutate into a monster (become an “enormous whale”) and become part of a “hive-mind” (taste the dream). <p> Someone mentioned Larry Cohen’s “The Stuff,” and that certainly seems to be a relevant antecedent. In Cohen’s horror-satire, miners discover a mysterious white substance bubbling up from the underground which, on tasting, is highly delicious. Unfortunately, it is also highly addictive, alive and parasitical, and eventually turns its users into zombies with a desperate craving for more of the product. (Taglines included: “Enough is not enough,” “It’ll change your life forever,” and “What are you eating? ...Or is it eating you?”) A similar plot was used in an episode of “Futurama,” concerning a similarly-addictive and tasty “libation” called “Slurm,” which featured an product logo which is remarkably similar to “Slusho.” The selling phrase, "Bet you can't drink just six" is more than a little over the top; again, however, maybe the entire "Slusho" site is designed to distract us from the bibical/cthulu/traditional apocalypse which are the real concerns of the film. In any case, I'm not yet buying the "Ethan Haas" denials... <p> I love the trailer because you don’t see the bad stuff coming, and the camcorder gives an immediacy to the moment which is never belied by bad special effects. When the Statute of Liberty’s head becomes recognizable you immediately understand that you have a ringside seat at world’s end. <p> By the way, based on the Parks Department website, the SOL’s head is 17 feet tall, measuring from the bottom of her chin to her cranium (top of her head), and is 10 feet wide, measuring from ear to ear; accordingly, it would seem they got the proportions right.

The magnetic N Pole of Earth, the flow of magnetic particles out of the N Pole of Earth, will attempt to merge with the N Pole of Planet X, flowing in the SAME direction. For the Earth, this is certainly not UP, it is sideways. Planet X is hosing out into space, almost directly away from the Sun, as it is lying horizontally at present during its roll. As the Earth is not yet tipped, physically, into the 3 days of darkness, the flow of magnetic particles thus emerges, out into space, from points below the Arctic. Nancy has noted that the HAARP system, located in Alaska near the magnetic N Pole of Earth, has registered flat, likewise. HAARP has been located next to the N Pole as this is where flux in the magnetosphere is most dramatic, evident. IERS likewise looks to this source, as elsewhere on the globe, flux in the magnetosphere is more flat. In that the magnetic N Pole of Earth has currently moved, they are both registering flat! [Note: new ZetaTalk IERS Flatlined, written July 9, 2007.]

It turns out the secret code was the same nursery rhyme he told his daughter! Incidentally, said rhyme had nothin to do with Lions....
-
The first time i watched the trailer in (glorious) quicktime, i thought i heard that as well. After further examination (or, watching the trailer 40 fucking times) i think what we heard was a high pitched growl.
-
I know. But I just think that it worked better if he had just said I saw it! it's huge!. That would have made the mystery much more... mysterious, because then we would not know if it was dead, alive, organic, or maybe a nuclear bomb. Now we are all focused on that living thing.
-
Now open to get your slusho desktop and aim icons though nothing really seemingly important otherwise...
-
But since this IS a giant monster movie, letting people think it was about a nuclear bomb, etc., would not have been a very effective way to hyoe this film...even though, I admit, it's still pretty fucking mysterious.
-
Please stop posting these irrelevant entrys
-
Well, your are intitled to have your opinion, but if they really wanted to make this film mysterious, they would n't have made that guy say anything. Then we would really have to use our imagination... You know, make up our own minds about it...
-
At 00:10 in the trailer, when Rob and his one man entourage enter the room, there's a small white analog clock above the door, which reads a little after 11:00 At 00:28 in the trailer, the same clock is seen in the background, with the time displayed approximately 11:10ish. If the time on this clock is accurate, it means that Rob arrived at the party well before midnight, when one of his buddies forces a shot down his throat in 1-18-08.com's second image...then about 30 minutes after downing the shot all hell starts to break loose. I think I've mined this trailer for all I can, at least for now until something jumps out at me that might have relevance.
-
this shit better be worth analysing...I mean if people are making this much effort to conjure up theories and it turns out to be two hours of a monster attacking new york or anywhere else and thats IT....I mean it better have a kick ass storyline, great characters, good writing and build a solid mythology worth getting invested in (Im not arsed about how cool the CGI monster is)for THIS amount of effort. Long story short, if this is released with a Transformers atitude where the reviews say "yeah, the plots balls, theyve got one good actor but the cgi monster rocks"...well then I give up on Hollywood....
-
I definitely understand where you're coming from on this, but we have to remember that, above all, this is meant to successfully hype this movie. The fact that it IS about a giant monster is what makes it special...we Americans don't get to see this kind of movie that often...whereas we get all kinds of natural disaster movies all the time. The fact that they let the cat out of the bag makes the movie's unique nature immediately apparent. I mean, honestly, I have no doubt that most of the movie fans who frequent this site would have concluded it was a giant monster based on the Slusho! site, the roaring in the trailer, etc...but do you think the general public is so savvy? And besides, there's no guarantees that we'll ever really see the beast, so who's to say we won't have to use our imaginations to fill in the blanks after all?
-
Maybe the frat paddle in the back has something to do with it? AKM are the initials.
-
Well you got a point there. Maybe I am expecting too much of the general public. Anyway, let's see what will be revealed august 1st. Peace out :-)
-
instead of a mouth it has four arses...
-
LoL! And MAN it's sour!! :D
-
or the 2004 ace graffiti'd on the window (you can see it when the explosion happens and they're running inside). im not even sure what im looking for anymore.. words? objects? even the license plate on the car i thought was an idea...

"They probably don't want to fuck up like PRIMEVAL where they tried to sell it as a 'serial killer' movie, when it was a giant crocodile movie the whole time. Everyone knew it was a croc beforehand, and those who didn't got really pissed off and complained about being tricked." EXACTLY!!! Everyone on this site knew exactly what that piece of shit was about, but John Q. Public, who has a huge, throbbing boner for both the term "serial killer" AND the phrase "based on a true story", got all hot and bothered until they saw the movie and realized they were at a fucking giant croc flick.
-
Don't forget the guy says "I saw it, it's alive, it's HUGE" right AFTER the girl says, "What is it? Is it coming this way?" I don't think it has to do with suspense or reveals, it's just part of the dialog. Someone asked what it was and he answered.
-
Good point.
-
...all it is is that we're a media expierement in the making. Seeing how quick word spreads. Both 1-18-08 and slusho.jp have google-counters, watching where we come from and where we go to. They're checking all the forums / boards / etc. "yeah, we're doing some -FUN STUFF- on the web. But, obviously, if the movie doesn't kick some massive ASS, who gives a rat's about what's online?"
-
I just want to try and get us all to focus on the more important things, like clues as to the other websites. I think those lines are just that - lines. Nothing important as far as the viral marketing campaign goes. I'd swear that the fraternity letters means something but I can't find a damn thing. I looked up AKM and it's a real fraternity - Alpha Kappa Mu, but it looked like a dead end.
-
Heh, luckily for me I have never stumbled upon that movie. But I guess it could have been fun if Bruce Campbell had been in it, kicking the scales off that werecroc thingamajig's ass! :D
-
The urchin.js is the Google Analytics Traffic Monitor. If you've ever used AdWords before, it's used for site analytics. It puts a cookie on the visitor's machine to track where they came from, where they went on the site, most visited pages, etc. It can also be easily blocked, so I don't think it's being used for anything important on those sites other then maybe as a hit counter.
-
This is all I've got on that: Kappa is a Japanese water demon; Mu is a lost continent a la Atlantis. So I won't say it has NOTHING to do with this...
-
We were in New York... Everybody had...CAM-corders!<p> Somebody panned to get in a shot... And there they saw...a LION!!!<p> <p><p> ...but it wasn't a lion...<p> ...it was a ROCK LOBSTER!!!<p><p> Just letting off some steam after all of that staring at the trailer. However, if an 80-foot lobster started destroying New York City, I would be entertained for an hour or two.
-
the posts in this TB fall into the following categories<p> 1) people debating the same things that we have already talked about 50 times. (the 2 different girls who are 2 different actors and 2 different races and are standing in 2 different points in space...surprisingly...are not the same girl. even if it somehow were so, it tells us nothing. drop it. similarly, there is no demon in her hair. drop it.)<p> 2) people making dumb jokes. (I heard on 0:45 in the trailer, he says, "LYYYING!!!" ha ha, he's a liar!!! ha ha ha) eat your pudding and shut the fuck up.<p> 3) people shilling for awkward websites that have nothing to do with anything. (Zeta)<p> 4) people TRYING to get out new information, but no one is listening/responding<p>5)Mighty_Messenger<p> 6)brain dead people posting things like, "hey, have you guys seen the website 1-18-08.com...I think it may have something to do with this!!" yes, I know there are a lot of posts on here. yes it takes a while to read them all. and YES, you should read them all before you post. otherwise, you are wasting your own time, as well as ours. this does not apply to you if actually are functionally retarded in real life. then we will cut you some slack. just type a big 'R' before your post, and you're fine. a retarded scarlett letter, if you will.<p>bottom line, there are no devils in the hair, the pictures move, don't move, shift around, and now they don't. PERHAPS that is a sign that we should NOT be focusing on that, and SHOULD be focusing on finding new websites from clues in the trailer.<p>the biggest clue so far is that JJ went out of his way to talk to Harry and get him to debunk the link to Ethan Haas. there is NO reason for him to have done that other than the fact that he doesn't want people to get upset when they find out it's not part of the movie's ad campaign. think of how upset you would have been to find that shit out weeks from now?<p>the other HUGE clue is the fact that the pictures are no longer rotating/zooming or whatever they were doing. don't you think someone in charge probably saw all this retarded photoshop bullshit and said, "fuck they are way off, they'll never find the other sites, they'll just keep flipping these pics around and jizzing until January", and so they altered the site to make it static.<p>you guys have to think not just about the filmic reality of the movie, but the reality of this marketing campaign, and what it will take for it to be successful. the clues are there, we just have to look in the right places, and not get focused on assinine, irrelevant bullshit.<p>search on, nerdlings.

Oh my, now I'm begging to think about The possibility Of a Cthulhu movie again..
-
Possibly, but I think that it's only a subtle reference to what you said if anything and nothing more than that. It doesn't point to a specific website because the fraternity has been around since like 1937 or something like that and each chapter has their own site. So like I said, maybe a bit of an inside joke on Abrams part, but not a clue to one of the sites.
-
Ok squad, lurker turned poster now that this bomb has been lit in my brain. First step...start contacting the actors that have been announced to be in this movie. Emails..lets see if the can confirm or deny anything. Second step...break down every thing possible in the trailer. The going away poster well miss you rob--possible anagram. I have not found anything yet but need help looking here. Blonde Girl interview with wine bottles behind her..there is a box/book on the shelf..zoom in. What does it say? They are eating sushi..does that mean anything? The pan shot with the fridge. I know we are talking about the Exit Mystery Street sticker..not sure if that means anything. HOWEVER..the photo is two females that look JUST like the girls in the picture on the 1-18-08 site. Once the noise is hear there is a hanging "paddle" on the wall with AKM. Leads??? The News Station is called New York 1. Any one looking here. Once the explosion has happened they are running from the roof. There is graffiti on the wall by the door. It clearly says something or has intials, but damn if my stupid monitor cant see anything. Also..when panning around the words 2003 ACE are clearly seen on the other side of the door. http://www.nist.gov/speech/tests/ace/ace04/index.htm goes to a govermental site, not sure its anything but... When they run out onto the street, a female in a maroon track jacket has something written on the back. What does that say? Next on the pan with the smoke while you look down the street..a sign says A C A. Also..a sign clearly shows Time Textile. That lead me to this site.http://www.timetex.net/ Anything yet folks? ABZ-3293 the license plat of the vehicle on the street. Any more hits besides that site about the lost family artifacte? Does that go anywhere? Once the statues head has rolled past on the back of the sign something is spray painted. The first word is Dead. What does the rest say? I think that most people are not focusing on the trailer itself. Lets start there before we go any where else. Let me know if this helps or what ever. Thanks!

pic 1 has a guy drinking a shot...the same guy who is the subject of the party in the trailer; pic 2 has a young black woman and a young white woman hudling together in fear...the same women are in the trailer from 1:26-1:30. therefore the photos are clearly taken by people also attending the party.

NY1 is a real website and news show in NYC. The graffiti says something like Crazy or Craze or something like that. The track jacket reads "Switzerland" That's all I got for ya :P

I agree with your rant, but...can I still post irreverent posts that contain no actual relevant information to the proceedings that I alone find amusing? Or is that a catergory you missed out? Because I study film as part of my degree and seein as theres not enough here to analyse on sub textual/socio political, technical way that wont just turn out to have nothing to do with the final product, Im just gonna let other people analyse and I'll read that while I stroke my goatee and go "hmmm". Once the film is there Il analyse it to death mind you....providing its not balls...

Right after the the line "I don't know. I'm like your main dude." At approximately 38 seconds into the trailer (just before the lights go out) a word is discernible. I believe if you listen closely (and I'm sure there will be debate on this) the word sounds like R'lyeh. The pronunciation seems to be "rill-YEH" which may not be exactly as hardcore Lovecraftians would have it. Thoughts? Turn your sound up....the word is there.
-
most likely you're hearing part of the timbaland song playing in the background which has the "yeah" in the track much like in "sexyback"
-
The sign behind the pictures written in what looks like crayon says "Your life has" and then the bottom is missing or cut off. Below it is a menu? Something that says "Ding Dong" Then there's something to the right under a hand drawn picture of a guy with a goatee and I can't figure it out. It looks like it says Aqua or Squae or something. There's definitely a qua in there
-
I don't know. I'd need to listen to that song on its own to decide fully. The word seems disjointed and separate from the song. I've listened to it with headphones and it sounds deliberately edited in (and separate from the background song). I could be wrong.
-
I already said this on another thread, but I'm sure it is a giant duck.<br><br>Possibly, even, a giant duck with a machine gun and/or machete (both giant to us, but normal size for the duck).
-
is "the way i are" and of course the parts with "yeah" in the track is not in the sample on itunes...
-
...It does kind of sound like it... some have thought "linear"... to me it sounds like the way a Japanese person might say R'lyeh... <p> ...there is something oddly Japanese in the intonation... could she be speaking in Japanese? The closest thing in Japanese I can think of that that sounds like would be "ren-ie" ren meaning "party" or "group", and ie meaning "no", that sort of fits the situation here... But who is the speaker? Noriko Yoshida? The Small Whale herself? (!)
-
I wonder if this thing turns out to be another "The Relic", where the chica (as per the Slusho sight) is really the monster?<br><br>At this point, any guess is as good as the next.

so, i think that a lot of us agree that this is already getting a lot of hype for something that is a january release - a time when the theaters get the post holiday left-overs - usually bad stuff. and i think it's pretty obvious that j.j. abrams will be hiding clues and messages throughout this viral campaign. so starting with the basics, maybe the release date is some kind of clue. i've never seen lost, but as far as i know there are ideas in that show that suggest that j.j. abrams is really interested in codes and numerology, right? every time i look at the release date written out as 1-18-08, it just looks like it was chosen very intentionally. i know some people have been looking into passages from revelations and stuff like that which correspond to these numbers, which is an interesting idea. the trailer suggests a doomsday scenario, or something like that, so a text that is religious in nature like revelations seems like a logical place to look. i'm thinking of other ways in which numbers and letters could relate in case the number 1-18-08 is supposed to mean something. i was wondering if anyone knows anything at all about gematria or hebrew numerology? like in the movie pi? because there are languages that relate closely to numbers. in hebrew, i know that the number 18 relates to the word "chai" which means "life," but that's about it. i'm wondering if 1-18-08 could be put together to make a word that i don't know that might mean something else. just a random thought... maybe i'm reading way, way too much into it, hahaha. i'm sure j.j. abrams is eating up all this ridiculous speculation.

"Are you people really trying to decipher clues that may or may not be hidden in a fuckin' trailer? For a $30 million movie? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA"<p>that sounds a lot meaner than my sarcastic rant.<p>and I'm a terrible swimmer. I almost failed an elective swimming class in college because I couldn't figure out the butterfly stroke. I tried and tried but I couldn't go anywhere. and at the time I could run a 4:45 mile, so it wasn't like I wasn't in good shape. it was just impossible! you kick out and raise your arms, and some such nonsense. and in the end, you're right back where you started.<p>and to make it even worse? my girlfriend at the time had been a state swimming champ in high school. (she used to come to my swimming classes under the guise of doing homework, but really she just wanted to laugh at me.)<p>I hate swimming.

isn't as horrible as people think it is...yes it's january, but monday the 21st is Martin Luther King day so they get a longer weekend out of most people...one of the first things I thought of when I saw the release date, and that the movie is release on my birthday
-
I would think it meant 1st book, Chapter 18, verse 8. That verse is, according to King James: <br><br> "And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat." <br><br> Not too much there that's really happening. <br><br> Then there's 18:8 in Revelations, which seems like a more happening book ... <br><br> "Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who judgeth her." <br><br> By her, I would think Noriko Yoshida. Or Statue of Liberty ... or the Earth, ala Mother Earth. I dunno.
-
...it's not even a Japanese word as far as I can tell...
-
I heard about the thing when I was in high-school, and after reading Lovecraft (and the Wikipedia page on him), I kinda wondered what it could be, some way a large creature or possibly multiple creatures causing a wave of sound. The only thing I've wondered, is if the "bloop" comes from a really deep part of the sea, wouldn't that mean that whatever made it couldn't surface, since it would have to have evolved living under such a large amount of pressure from the water.<br><br>I also wonder who in the hell made that Ethan Haas sight, and if it has something to do with another movie.
-
So I've been looking into all of these hidden sites that JJ Abrams mentioned in his email. After taking the lead from www.slusho.jp , I decided to google "Noriko Yoshida" , the woman who was said to be lost at sea in the history section of the slusho site. I came up with the following site, ccs.cla.kobe-u.ac.jp/GenBun/ny/ny.html , supposedly a personal website posted through Kobe University. It cant be a coincindence that the image on the front page is Matisse's "Les betes de la mer". Translated, the title of the painting is "The beasts of the sea". The image was just put up today.
-
I think I saw this on Youtube, but did anyone try throwing it into a spectrum analyzer? Aphex Twin actually put his face into one of his songs that way. Sick stuff and I wouldn't put it past Abrams to do something like that.

I, for one, don't believe that Cloverfield has anything to do with Lost. But I'm fairly certain that JJ Abrams is throwing in some deliberate coincidences in these sites. In Noriko Yashida's site - ccs.cla.kobe-u.ac.jp/GenBun/ny/ny.html If you dig a little deeper something even more interesting pops up. I don't speak Japanese, but when you're searching through the links if you the fifth link down on the right you will find a list of a syllabus. Hit the top link in the second set of characters and you get a 404 not found message. At the bottom of the page there is a list of links. I went to the Graduate School of Human Development and Environment and found this info: "The Graduate School of Human Development and Environment was established in 2007, through the process of re-organization of the Graduate School of Cultural Studies and Human Science into two graduate schools. The main mission of the graduate school is to develop fundamental and practical research on various issues concerning human development and the environment supporting its development, in order to organize "Human Community," a civil society where people with various standpoints can collaborate with one another toward resolving the issues.". Sound a little like a certain show on ABC?
-
The text on the front page translates to: <p> The kobe university international cultural university departments and graduate schools comprehensive human science postgraduate course Yoshida Noriko laboratory</p> Something like that. I just used Google's translation tool. Nothing too exciting so far.
-
Who can read Japanese? Searching through it, there are a few blurbs in French, which I also don't speak. Though, genetique popped out at me ... genetics, in other words, and some blurbs about tissue and Madama Bovary. Diablorie. And Aloysius Bertrand, who wrote 19th century fantastical poetry. <br><br> All this ... a dead end? Dunno ... but that painting is too much.

Discuss amongst yourselves...
-
Seems like a dead-end, or we may be giving a lot of hits to a real student. I've been translating shit on her site, and she seems like a Japanese student who lectures about French literature. She also did some work with a book of Matisse's pictures ... which would explain the painting.

Shiza, I'm pretty sure your right. Don't worry about the French -- they're not blurbs, it's a reading list, and the "Génétique" refers to the composition of Zola's novels (I would assume Emile, as far as I can translate). Mr. Zola did like to right about social classes and novels that span generations -- if you want to chew on that, feel free. Not sure if it will get you anywhere, but AICN talkbackers amuse.

Its the new Chuck NOrris Movie. Apparenlty he is pissed off that his barber messed the lines on his beard up and revealed another fist where his chin should be.

Chaos theory anybody?
-
IMHO... there's no big riddle here. The only purpose for those pictures is to entice curiosity, since we have a lot of people celebrating at 12:01, then half hour later two girls looking scared as hell to something way bigger than them. I bet there will be more and more pics, each one of them showing a little bit more of the fatidical night of january 18, 2008. I think that's the catch on the movie, it is prophetizing an apocalypse for the very night of its release. So, when everybody is on the theater by the night of 1/18/08, they'll feel as the world outside is coming to an end as the movie says, thus making the film experience more visceral.
-
you're right, sir, it all smacks up the same inability to face reality and admit falsehoods.<p>that video really is too hilarious for words. the guy's website cutewithchris.com is pretty funny too. but he's never done anything as great as the T-Pain parody. I already sent it out to JumpTheShark...

And why does it say Ethan Haas- The Cloverfield Diaries
by kirttawesomio
And why does it say Ethan Haas- The Cloverfield Diaries? And who really cares unless it's a great Cthulhu/Revelation 666 movie.
-
maybe because they WANT people to believe they are associated with it. if they truly were, there would probably be a link TO the abz and haas right/wrong sites FROM the 2 official sites, right?<p>think about it, if my name were Ethan Haas, and I had my own website. then this shit went down. I could easily put in a link to the official 1-18-08 site. and people would use it to justify the link, as you have. but there never was one, was there?<p>this is basically the same thing. some entrepeneurial young people bought the sites up quickly just to be a part of this whole thing. or perhaps in the hopes that they'll get bought out later. or both.<p>either way, JJ Abrams is in the business of getting us on the right track, because that's what this marketing shit is about. so if he says Haas has nothing to do with it, and people have pointed out that it's probably part of a video game coming out soon, that's almost assuredly what it is.
-
I would reiterate that I think the website is legit. As suggested by someone earlier, here you go: <p> http://tinyurl.com/23axxb <p> Translated for your enjoyment. If she was related, I'd assume her background would be much more interesting, but everything about her points to being a French instructor.

Ethan Haas is a character out of the CBS show THE CLASS played by Jason Ritter(The Wicker Man). Lizzy Caplan who plays Kat Warbler on THE CLASS is attached to 1-18-08. She's the blonde one who says "Rob's awesome, I'm gonna miss him" with a mouthful of food...
-
... I have touched on this before, but there are two actual connections between this film to the Illuminati... <p> ...first the whole Albert Pike thing... the technical contact of the 1-18-08.com is listed as Albert Pike... the name of a notorious Confederate Freemason and Klansman believed by some to be a Satanist and Illuminatus... <p> secondly as all good Eris-worshipers know... Jan 18th is Robert Anton Wilson's birthday (and mine!) Wilson wrote the Illuminatus! triliogy of course...

In the teaser at 0:38 you can clearly see the word "rift" written, not once, but twice on the wall behind the bar. Not sure if it's significant, but... There it is.

Also note, from the official Kobe University site link posted earlier, click on the "Kobe University Repository Kernel" link at the left.

Whether or not the copyrights have expired is still a matter of question. Believe me, this film would NOT be made for only $30 million if Cthulhu was involved. The legal wrangling over rights would probably have been in the papers and, thus, very public and very, very expensive. Given the fact that there is another Cthulhu movie coming out this year with Tori Spelling, I have serious doubts that this is Cthulhu. I would also like to point out that the real thing about the cry of "It's alive!" is that whatever the guy sees, it has to be questionable as to whether or not it's alive. A giant squid type creature probably would not be the kind of thing that would generate such a question.

if you go to imdb it gives a rough synopsis of the film
by kirttawesomio
It seems it's title might be "The Parasite" and going to be Blair Witch/9-11/Japanese Monster Movie. I'm still excited and I think there's even more clues at http://www.kirtburdick.com/comic s.html
-
..."child of principles" or "child of law"... BUT using a different Kanji it could mean "child of seaweed"!!!
-
I'm sure someone has hit on this, but doesn't that seem odd?
-
Yea we touched on that one. Though not really unusual considering that this year in NY it was 70 degrees, breaking the record set back in 1950. But yea, it did seem odd. Oh and just to clarify, it's 63 degrees, not 68. Don't know if the actual number is significant or not, though.
-
Hey ya'll, Whatever this things is, its after rob. At 00:39 the roar is the creature calling out to Robert. Speed up the roar and you will hear the name. Robert is visibly shaken and he immediately looks in the direction of the roar. Does he recognize his name? Does he know more than we are lead to believe. At 1:01 you can see he is worried. More so than others. At 1:04, you can see the creature approach from the SW. And since he tore the head off the statue of liberty, it means he came from the sea, and moved in a NW direction. This is confirmed since the statue is in the SW part of the island and since the head of the statue hits the 401 Broadway sign. Google mapped it and the evidence points to its path. At 1:39, you can see 2 tenticles writhing in the background behind the red car hit by the head after it flips for the 1st time. Its not smoke from the accident, there are 2 grey green tenticles. At 1:38 and 1:39, the back of the sign to the right of the statue head has these words, DEAD DEAD Cheers

check out this guy's "discovery": <p> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLlo_PYVgkY <p> oh. my. god. And they were based in Sydney right? another JJ Abrams connection... what's more it was a lion after all!!! (well at least one of them was...)
-
have fun getting banned...I'd say...within 12 hours...<p>spamming for your lame comics under the guise of participating in the TB's? not looked well upon...<p>plus, at least use tinyurl.com...you're fucking FIRST NAME is in the site name! you can't afford to operate under the assumption that we re all as dumb as you are, brother...

listening to the Bloop was scary, yes, but it also led me to another interesting site. similar to Bloop, Google "Slow Down" and "NOAA" w/out the quotation marks. it's another unidentified aquatic abyssal sound. i don't know but...it sounds an *awful* lot like that moaning sound in the trailer

1. Rob knows a lot of babes. I hope he had sex with at least one. If he's just a reeeaal good friend to all of them that might be why he's kinda pissed in the teaser. No pun intended. 2. Rob's party is strikingly similar to the Lava Life commercial for the lavalife phone dating company. I think I see "Bob", who makes up for his two left feet in the kitchen, and Ken, who's a fire fighter. will post when more clues discovered.

...lighten up. But, I guess I had it coming. So, um, whatever.

Don lockwood... the second address in the whois os for the george washington masonry monument. Something like that

...and have been published in their entirety on the web in various places, notably: http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/ read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft#Intellectual_property

I like the idea of Rob somehow knowing a little more. that might be interesting, but much higher concept than we've been led to believe.<p>as for the monster saying his name, can you upload the audio of it sped up somewhere? I'd be surprised if it were true. I suspect it may be a case of "hearing what you want to hear", no offense.<p>as for the "tentacles", I'm not seeing them at all. why would they be there anyway, the creature is blocks away, judging from where it tossed the head from. I think you're seeing the broken rods from the bent spikes that were in the statue of liberty's crown. they're sort of wobbling and dark. good call on the sign though. DEAD DEAD, indeed...

... could what appears to be a tasty drink be a code word for the attack on a beloved symbol of American Freedom? <p> ...consider: SL=Statue of Liberty US=US (of course) and Don Imus can tell you what HO means! Statue of Liberty U.S. Ho... those foreign bastards!
-
...that it cannot handle line breaks properly? You guys want some help fixing it? Seriously.

check out http://tinyurl.com/3amdxa. Thanks for telling a noob like me how to do it right. I'll missed being banned but did you really have to say my comics where crap. I mean, come on.

Oh and FUCK YOU!

and he LOVES Cthulhu...<p> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwiTWjXcHkY <p>he's so exasperated when he describes it, and at 1:17 there is the most awkward video segue I have seen in a while...hilarious<p>thank you Prof for that other one, that was good for a huge laugh. the best are the comments supporting him! unbelievable!!
-
that would be doing what you want...spam does not taste good...
-
I'm confused.
-
you can use < p > and < br > (without spaces of course)...<p>ain't that good enough? what else do you need for line breaks?
-
All these website posting. I gave into my darker elements. But... ... if you go to IMDB you'll get the basic jest of this film.
-
Still, I think I found a clue... ...check out http://tinyurl.com/3amdxa. All right bring on the ban.

Most web form systems like this one should be able to handle a quick swap of control characters reading into and out of the database. Meaning, you should be able as a user to simply hit <return> and make line breaks that the web server scripts will interpret for you rather than having to insert your own HTML tags for very basic things manually. <br> This is very common in modern software suites for this type of site, and even if the guys here wrote this site by scratch, a couple of regex substitutions in their code could make it work for them very easily.<br> I spent many years writing this kind of stuff so sometimes little things like that stick out at me in terms of users and usability. Anywho, if anyone on the backend cares, my offer is pro bono.
-
...or the one about his fat cat? Or the Jean-Luc Picard cartoon sung to Jack Black? Wow. Matthew Bott aka "Kingreader36" takes nerdity to a level approaching an art-form...

I actually worked on the movie and I can get in a lot of trouble for letting out information to the public but I want you guys to get to the next clue. The reason the guy in the trailer yells out "It's alive, It's huge" is actually a very important part. As someone stated earlier, he's yelling out it's alive because it's something that you would think was dead and he yells out it's huge because it's bigger than it would normally be. The huge, alive, thing is.....Chris Benoit. He is back from the dead and a giant. He put the Statue Of Liberty in the Crippler Crossface and ripped the head off. Then he laid a bible next to the body. Please don't tell Mr. J.J. Cockgobbler that I gave you this info. I'll give you more clues as time goes on. Shout out to Charlotte NC!!

Just about any URL you try will end up at a catch-all site with worthless crap on it, but I thought it interesting that the first two I tried using phrases from the movie went to the same one... www.wellmissyou.com www.themaindude.com It's probably nothing though.
-
www.findsatoshi.com <p> ...it's probably not actually related (it seems related more to Hitchhiker's Guide than anything else) but there are some odd correspondences... <p> Satoshi is the name of the email contact at Slusho.jp <p> ... the number six keeps coming up... <p> ...once again there is a French/Japanese connection... <p> ...well that's enough speculation for me tonight... no matter how late I get to bed Bob the Cat will awaken me at the same time tomorrow... Oyasumi-nasai and Bon Soir...
-
interestingly, her translated page has a painting by Henri Matisse. Guess the title... It's "les betes de la mer", i.e. the beasts of the sea. Coincidence?
-
Okay, while I accept that the Ethan Haas stuff may not be related to Cloverfield... there is still some interesting stuff about it. THe site developer is "Red interactive agency" (http://www.ff0000.com/) and if you examine their clients list, Paramount Vantage is listed as a client. So my conclusions are... <p> this would explain why Paramount was responsible for having the EH videos pulled from Youtube. It also makes me qu3estions the idea of it being a game, as Paramount is not involed in making vid games, and if the EH stuff were for a game, wouldn't the gaming studio run their own site, especially if the site were games-based? <p> Red interactive say they specialise in online marketing involvine creativity and interactivity... just what the EH site is. so... maybe another movie? <p> and sorry if I fucked up the formatting, my first time posting here.
-
but i've only got a bit of time online today.<p>Saw the trailer yesterday, haven't been following the web trail of clues.<p>Can someone give me a quick summery of what has been found out thus far?
-
no one has found satoshi yet? that started last year...
-
Love that giddy nerd vid! There should be a drinking game for how many times he says Cthulhu and Lovecraft...lol

He says: 'I saw it! Its a MIME!! Its huge!' Also, you can clearly see that the freak woman in the picture is wearing white face make-up. So there it is. 'Attack of the Giant Mimes'.
-
Either I didn't previously notice, or there is now music on the slusho website...
-
I checked alpha kappa mu as multiple sites (from the AKM on the wall in trailer), no luck. Also tried japanese translation of "smallest whale" as various websites, no luck. Am I over-thinking this?
-
There's a Blue Fish floating around the bottom of the "History" page at the Slusho page. When you roll over him, there's a though bubble of a wedge of cheese. I figured, what the hell, could be a clue, and type in cheese.com...and it brings me to the cheese.com webpage. You can look up all kinds of cheese there. Interestingly, there's no cheese from Japan listed. Anyways, i figure, dead end, right? okay, so i try cheese.jp...and it takes me to a webpage in Japan, i guess. And it appears to be some kind of Cheese company. It's all in Japanese, so I can't read it, but what you DO see..when you first get there, in the upper left hand corner of the site is "Yoshida Corporation"...with a telephone and fax number...in any case, if you you've read through the SLUSHO website, and you're familiar with the History of Slusho, the name Yoshida should be familiar to you, as the Family name of the inventors of Slusho....now, this could all be a legit biz site, there really could be making cheese in Japan, and maybe Yoshida is a common name, and it's all coincidence..i have no idea, cause i can't read Japanese...maybe someone out there can figure if this site is connected to all this madness or not....

So guys from a very reliable source I found the actual plot to be a dissapointment... It turns out "Slusho" plays a very important role... It its a fast beccoming product from japan that is becomming widespread... Rob (a recent college graduate and member of Alpha Kappa Mu which is an honer society fraternity) is moving to Japan to become head of developmental research... It turns out the gas pocket theory as stated before fromt he secret ingredient gives off unpredictable reactions if enough is consumed (possibly six since you cant drink more than six) It is up to Rob to find the problem and put his brain to work.. It is not said what actually becomes the "monster" but it seems almost irrelevant... Kind of a dull plot if you ask me but who knows.... maybe the online part will still be fun...

Here's some of it ... <br><br> Akihito Yoshida seems to be the CEO. <br><br> "It goes back birth of the cheese to ancient former times. When it tries probably to drink the milk of the flask which the Arabic merchant who crossed the desert made with stomach of the sheep, the milk changed shape into the white lump and transparent liquid. Very that white lump prototype of fresh cheese. Ever since milk and the cheese changing the material and manufacturing method delicately, the various variations are produced, are tasty in our dining tables with enjoyment was done plus. Furthermore and even now, exceeding the fence of time and the border, the milk and the cheese give depth to food culture, continue maturing." <br><br> I don't know why I posted that, but what the hell ... I can't find any links to the movie, though. Still perusing.
-
Thanks for that Shiza...i like cheese as much as the next guy, but i'm not sure if this cheese.jp site means anything...maybe there's a cheese flavored slusho...that would be...gross.
-
So this "source" gives you a synopsis and one of the biggest pieces of info is that he was in that fraternity I just wrote about? I think your plot summary is correct, but I think you're lying about getting it from a 'source'.
-
if u go through the video slowly from 1:35-1:37, it looks like some dude flies over the car and moves the couple out the way. no joke
-
Is a largely African American honor society ... not really the type of fraternity that would hit people in the ass with paddles to induct them. There wouldn't a house on campus or anything. <br><br> So maybe the Greek letters are significant in some way ... but the fraternity itself seems like a dead end, too.
-
It's a spin-off. Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man: The Reckoning. Bill Murray has confirmed a cameo. "What did you think of, Ray?"
-
He really does. That guy flys in from out of nowhere.
-
The one with the girls stays the same as I put it (click and drag, over the party one), but the one of the party keeps rotating.<br><br>I don't know if this means anything, but I wonder if the Slusho sight has something like this, as far as reacting in real-time?<br><br>By the way, has anyone seen Alias? I wonder, 'cause I don't know what the Slusho connection is, and if so, if J.J. is somehow trying to connect together his own "universe".
