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? 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.
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.

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: but make sure you delete the spaces between the . I would type it myself but it would only end up doing thisso 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.
-
Iappreciateit.
-
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.
it even has an inverted snout inside the main tentacles that has pink sucker mouths all the way inside of it.
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.
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
b) The house is covered of Japanese theme
c) SLUSHO is a weird drink with a very creepy story
d) The photo at 1-18-08 has ROB drinking.
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.
George Washington is going to terrorize New York City. -
sent an email to the contact at the SLUSHO site, 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: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. 2000 - The strange Tagish Lake meteorite impacted the Earth. 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.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.
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! :)

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.
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.
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.

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."

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.

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.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:

At 1:35 in the trailer. Don't know if it's anything but the number is ABZ-3293.

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.

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. But that 2 in the E is a definite clue, must be.

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 42Add 'em up....you get 108.1-08???
-
Thanx for the catch - now I'm back to square one.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.
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.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.
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. 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
it's not Voltron
It's not a remake of the Host
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!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.

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:
0:07 - Graffiti on the wall, you get a better view of it later.
0:10 - A sign above the door. It looks like USdie . . .
0:35 - Numerous stickers on the fridge, notably there is one sticker that appears twice, it seems to say Exit Mystery St.
0:38 - The graffiti again. Numerous words written.
0:47 - AKM (fraternity) as well as a map and mostly illegible sticker at the top of the shot.
0:48 - Newscast shows the time, 12:32AM, and the temperature, 63 degrees.
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.
1:12 - briefly illuminated graffiti. It very likely says 1987 - 2004 ACE.
1:25 - A yellow sign is visible, as well as others that are tough to make out.
1:28 - A few more signs, one says for lease, another appears to have a phone number.
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.
1:35 - License plate: ABZ 3293
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...
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....
-

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!
Also, those girls in the picture are NOT the same. Get over it.
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.
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.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.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.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...continue on my nerdlings...

Sigh!

let's try to decipher what we have already. we have:
license plate : ABZ 3293
song played : Woman - Wolfmother
timestamp of news : 12:32am
temp : 63 deg F
timestamps on photos : girls12:36am, party 12:01am
on building : ??67/87 - 2007 ACE
on sign outside : DEAD DE?(maybe end)
i might be a little off with that, but what does it all mean? the temp. might lead to something about global warming. that would be funny. also, are they not closer to the Chrysler Building when they are on the street as opposed to when they are on the roof? it could be two different times but it could be one too. -
I think it's a counter of some sort.
It's at the bottom of every 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.
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?
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".
the haas was a douchebag aite is fake. that guy assumed like most people that it was connected.
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.
imagine if you spent all this time and money to promote something and something else gets all the attention!! ha! ha! that sucks! -
After Common Era
-
Abrams projects all connected:
Lost -- Oceanic Flight 815 left Sydney
Alias -- Character Sydney, Slusho
New Movie -- Slusho t-shirt
-
if the ethan haas sites are unrelated to the cloverfield project why are they both mentioned together here http://tinyurl.com/ytg8t7 also check out the date the author posted it on. of course that could just be a site admin f*cking with everyone.

looks like Ragnarok is an online MMORPG. Dead End.

'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.
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...

highlight the top left corner of the parasitemovie page it reveals:

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.

Does that mean no more CTHULU DANCE?!?!:^(
-
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.

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.
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. 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. The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth. 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. -
Jul 10, 2007 11:21:44 AM CDT
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 . . .
titter . . . tee hee . . . giggle . . .
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.

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?
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.
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.
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.
-
all day! lol 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.
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. 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 -
wedgeisred2 is right...looks like we already got info on this movie.

Ok seriously.. that lady is a nut.. a quack.. and people will probably take her seriously.. just like that Hale Bop Cult that committed mass suicide to take off with their alien buddies.. do not propigate this lunacy

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.
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. -
this was linked from the abz3293.com site ... reveals the airloom is a "special book"... both sites have a loop of links that change upon refresh (abz in the top right and tribble at the bottom)...

"White Male - about 25 Years old"

Again, what is the point of this "article"?
-
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 ...
In other news, I was bored and found more random coincidental stuff that I'm 99.9% sure, has no relevance.
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.
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.
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. -

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!
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).
It SHOULD be Cthulhu, but I'd go with Godzilla. Anything but these mad half-assed theories.

I buy the RAMPAGE theory. People drink Slusho, turn into giant monsters, and wreck cities.

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. -
Got some air traffic control report for the santa monica airport....
-
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.

but I just noticed Ethan Haas has a myspace account.

... 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

... 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!

In hindsight, it seems so obvious now. Now to play guess-the-filename with the server. -
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?
-
removed the part about the heirloom being a book...

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?
Also, just because Brian Yuzna is doing some DTV Cthulhu movie doesn't mean shit.
(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"

-
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!!!!!""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.
No one says "lion." Lions ... not even, or ever, a possibility.
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?
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.
And let's get off of the photoshop the two faces trail, too. If not, we'll just keep running around in circles ... FOREVER!

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?

'FOUND'... = LOST movie? i doubt it... if they made a movie abrams would most likely direct...and i'd guess they'd wait till the show was cancelled/finished.
Have fun with deciphering this crap. -
It really is! Its an ARG for an upcoming RPG title...

the forum is for both ethan haas and 1/18/08 (they are split into two different catagories)

I think they're just to get the effect of how he's saying it, like the caps are a sort of italics. I'm 98% positive they mean nothing.
-
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. 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. -
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!

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 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.
Unfortunately, the Slusho! website suggests that the film might merely be an ambitious of the mad-scientist creates giant-monster movie, with metaphysical overtones.
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
Having conceived this plan, Ganu returned to his mother’s business to create a drink comprised of this “new ingredient” - Slusho!
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!”
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).
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...
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.
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!

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!
Somebody panned to get in a shot...
And there they saw...a LION!!!
...but it wasn't a lion...
...it was a ROCK LOBSTER!!!
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
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.)
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.
3) people shilling for awkward websites that have nothing to do with anything. (Zeta)
4) people TRYING to get out new information, but no one is listening/responding5)Mighty_Messenger
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.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.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?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.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.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.

How the hell did that happen? Sorry like i said, new to posting on the page.
Tell me next time how to do breaks. -
Rock on - now if only people would listen.

Alright you rumbled me-its actually me, hungover trashin New York cos I couldnt my keys...I have a short fuse I admit....but that Rob guy offended me with his "its huge" comment-Im not fat, Im festively plump!

Hey! I'll take that as a compliment ;-) Anywho, GoodBeirut all I'm a sleepy nerd now! :D

you're right buddy, all a waste of time. man, some people are entertained by the weirdest things, aren't they? why the hell should they have fun in whatever way they want to? I"m assuming since you are too good for this, that you'll be leaving us, right?or do you want to post 5 more times about how posting here is stupid?asinine, indeed...
-
appears to be an actual station, I'm in california so wouldn't really know, just basing it off of www.ny1.com
-
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.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... ...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?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"that sounds a lot meaner than my sarcastic rant.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.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.)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:
"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."
Not too much there that's really happening.
Then there's 18:8 in Revelations, which seems like a more happening book ...
"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."
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.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:
The kobe university international cultural university departments and graduate schools comprehensive human science postgraduate course Yoshida Noriko laboratory
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.
All this ... a dead end? Dunno ... but that painting is too much. -
Sorry for the mis-spell
Also when pasting the links, delete the blank spaces -
I don't usually post here but i read alot and this hunt seems fun, so I typed in www. bad robot.com and saw what was there. Nothing.

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.

That was covered just a few posts ago by myself. I know there are a lot of posts in here, but please try and read the last few because we've covered a lot of ground but have gotten nowhere so far. :P So far as far as official websites go, we only got 1-18-08.com and slusho.jp. Dig for clues!

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.

...I knew you had a sense of humor... I've seen your films.

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.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...
-
to the idiots that say this movie doesn't take place in January, oh well then why are the photographs time stamped in January, eh? So the veritable shit hits the fan on January 18th.
-
I know you're trying to goad a reaction out of me. first with the posting of the 1-18-08 site, all excited, just like I poked fun at earlier.and now with a ridiculous claim that a movie about plants making people sick could somehow tun out to be a giant monster that terrorizes a city.sorry bud, I got your number...no one could be that dumb. you have to be subtler next time... ;o)

Noriko Yoshida's webpage compared to actual Kobe U site

...here is the website for Kobe University which Noriko Yoshida is allegedly on the faculty: www.kobe-u.ac.jp/en/ searching the site I cannot find Noriko Yoshida... Furthermore on Noriko's webpage it states she is on "Faculty of Cross-Cultural Studies, Kobe University" this is the page listing all the depts. at the university including all the faculties: http://www.kobe-u.ac.jp/en/about-kobe-university/departments/departments.htm there is NO "faculty of cross-cultural studies" listed here! interestingly enough there IS a Japanese film and television writer named Noriko Yoshida...

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?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?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.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:

check it out, I think it has something to do with the film.

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... ...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... 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. Then click on the "Faculties / Research Institute" link under "Index" at the left. Second item down is: "Faculty of Cross-Cultural Studies, Graduate School of Intercultural Studies".

-
... it's surprisingly not bad, and color coordinates oddly well with the default Windows XP color scheme.
-
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

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.

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.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.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...

... if you go to IMDB you'll get the basic jest of this film. -
Still, I think I found a clue...

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 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.
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.
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 ...it's probably not actually related (it seems related more to Hitchhiker's Guide than anything else) but there are some odd correspondences... Satoshi is the name of the email contact at Slusho.jp ... the number six keeps coming up... ...once again there is a French/Japanese connection... ...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... 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? Red interactive say they specialise in online marketing involvine creativity and interactivity... just what the EH site is. so... maybe another movie? and sorry if I fucked up the formatting, my first time posting here.

but i've only got a bit of time online today.Saw the trailer yesterday, haven't been following the web trail of clues.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...

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 ...
Akihito Yoshida seems to be the CEO.
"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."
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.
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.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?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".
-
Slusho is from the Alias universe, but i think it is only mentioned a few times in passing.
-
Transformers was moved back a day, so the Cloverfield trailer officially premiered on 7/3/07. 7 + 3 + 7 = 17. Probably a coincidence, but still cool.
-
Illusions, the big question is why. Why, would Paramount ask YouTube to take down picture that contain material from their up-coming film and a website that isn't theirs? Why, would someone perpetuate an untruth that links them to something that they are not a part of? Why, would the press and the internet care so much for something that just, as now, amounts to a minute and a half of footage?The answer, because this is just what Paramount wanted, I remember Transformers reviews talking about this thing (what if they were plants meant not to entice us to Transformers, but to this up-coming movie?) and thinking that this might be cool...I have nothing to add but cliches, like trust no-one, and the truth is out there.That's it, I'm going to get at least some sleep.
-
Coincidence? Mmmm who knows...
-
The size and possible pop-culture content (i mean based on anything previously published or produced). Based on the creative team, director, writer, and Abrams..... i do not believe this is any MAJOR property previously seen, i.e. Godzilla, some superhero comic, etc. Seems all their history is t.v. based, and I just don't see a 150 million dollar movie being greenlit with a somewhat green team (green in movies only of course). If a 'blockbuster' budget were given, i'd assume it'd have to be Abrams directing. I didn't like Alias, or MI3, and Lost was okay on a rainy weekend.... but at any rate, i'm betting the 'coolest' part of the finished product is the marketing campaign. I'm guessing there will be a whole lot not seen in the flick, and using 'blair witchy' type techniques to hide the smaller budget. .... okay done ranting, ... oh wait, as far as what the 'monster' is... i'll go with stay-puff taking out his anger on lame ending in Ghostbusters II>

the following information has been talked about by other Talkbackers but hasn't been explored much.
The Bloop - check out the wikipedia page for "Bloop". It discusses an unidentified sound recorded during the summer of 1997. "Though it matches the audio profile of a living creature, there is no known animal that could have produced the sound. If it is an animal, it would have to be, reportedly, much larger than even a Blue Whale, according to scientists who have studied the phenomenon."
Also on this page in the References in Popular Culture section is the following "The site of the Bloop is remarkably close to the site of the fictional city of R'lyeh from H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu", where an ancient undersea monster (Cthulhu) lies sleeping. Lovecraft said that R'lyeh is located at 47°9′S, 123°43′W in the southern Pacific Ocean, with the bloop also being targeted somewhere in that range"
So we have references to Cthulhu, who is sleeping and a unidentified sound from a living creatre many times larger than a blue whale....to me it seems there is a link between the Slusho site Histroy and the Bloop. What do you you guys think? -
it's an anagram. try it. could this be a coincidence?
-
the wikipedia page links to an article on the CNN website titled "Tuning in to a deep sea monster" there is also a similar article on the New Scientist website.
-
Which of those girls has Rob slept with? I think he probably drunkenly messed around with breast girl, because it seems like that's her MO. He probably didn't sleep with the "What is this for?" girl, because, clearly, she doesn't know what the party is about, and seems a little snobby about it, too. I say no to the "Rob, have fun in Japan" girl--she seems like someone's girlfriend who doesn't know Rob very well, and so overcompensates by saying something really earnest. The real question in my mind is the "Rob's awesome" girl. Her flirty undertones suggest they've hooked up a few times--but it could also be that they're just in the same circle of friends, and she's been denying Rob for year. She's just throwing him a bone by saying he's awesome to the camera. In any case, there is clearly a lot JJ needs to clear up here.
-
Or do you think Abrams meant Camaaaaaaaugh?
-
I havent' read through all of the posts yet so this may have come up already but when I "right-clicked" on the pics and clicked on the flash "settings" it asks me if I will let the 1-18-08.com site have access to my microphone and webcam. Is that a standard question to be asked?
Anyone? -
the japanese find the Slusho website insulting -- they're like: "our english is much better than that, and even if it weren't we wouldn't make the same types of grammatical errors as those included within the slusho website"
maybe... -
Yes that is a part of flash, as is the rotating being a 'bug' in flash, the only thing about that site is the images themselves, being able to rotate them may indicate a clue to be found upside down or one overlapping the other.
-
I looked on the flash site and all it says is that you have to allow a website to use those details. I'd have to think of a flashsite thats not cloverfield related to check other sites, but I've never seen it before. SOmeone mentioned that on the crazy tossing games site it mentions googling buzz. Is you google buzz and cloverfield the first site talks about the number of hits that cloverfield sites are getting - seems like a hint to me that he's doing it to get hits. This whole things pretty cool I must say. Lots of interesting things to consider. Do paramount have a right to take down videos on youtube if they're being SAID to be 'theirs' (haas videos) or do they really have to own the content to request it's removal. Maybe they got it taken down because it was being said to be related to cloverfield and thy have the right to that?
-
Dang!
I was hoping maybe it was some sort of "access" to a deeper level of the pics....
That's just sad, isn't it?
Oh well. Back to life. Back to reality.

were both pix put up on the 1-18-08 website at the same time...?

The picture of the girls faces was posted on that site first, then the party scene soon after. please no more ethan haas stuff.

it's "a toxic industry's junk" (for "you can't just drink six"). that's fun, but how does it help us?

oven mitt being 'dreamt' by the house on slusho.jp, a make of oven mitt is Orka, Orka is a 24ft tall villian from the Marvel comic Sub-mariner!! is this a sub-mariner film??? it's a huge leap of faith i know but it's the best i've seen so far.
-
I think if some clues aren't forthcoming soon, interest is going to dry up on this one.
I think another another e-mail to Panty Boy is in order. -
Okay, everthing moving about 'under the sea' on the Slusho history page appears somewhat normal accept for 'the horse'. Uh, what is that about? It's odd enough that the fish and horse are thinking of human objects (blue mitt, yellow cheese) but the fact that there is a horse walking under water is even more strange IMO. It's not even a seahorse.

Here's the bloop slowed down with Lovecraft text. Creepy and interesting.

Since the Earth encountered Planet X in her orbit on Dec 25, 2003, her orbit has stalled, as she encountered an elephant in the road at this point and could not pass. Planet X had been plunging toward the Sun, rapidly entering the solar system in the short years prior to 2003 at a speed close to the speed of light. As Planet X approached the Sun in early 2003, brilliant Second Sun sightings and photos were possible because the Earth was on the opposite side of the Sun from the approaching Planet X, and thus sunlight was reflected off the dust cloud and bounced back toward Earth. Then came the encounter with Planet X in Earth's orbit, and things changed. As Planet X was moving, still, toward the Sun, sunlight now was at its back, bouncing back toward the Sun, and visibility of this dust shrouded planet changed from brilliant and dramatic Second Sun sightings to puzzlement. Like an object in a fog bank, it was lost to view except for those times when its swirling tail and moons caught sunlight and deflected this to Earth. Evidence of the presence of Planet X in the inner solar system, slowly passing the S Pole of the Sun, was reduced to taking the pulse of Earth herself - increased earthquakes, volcanic activity, an Earth wobble evident to those astute enough to take note, and erratic weather accompanying the wobble. The eddy flow created by particles flowing coming from the Sun and thence around the sides of Planet X trapped Earth in her stalled orbit, and held her there in front of Planet X, no escape. As Planet X proceeded past the Sun's S Pole in his sling orbit, he went within the orbit of Venus, and thus likewise trapped Venus in this eddy flow cup when she came round in her orbit to encounter Planet X. The Earth's dark twin, sharing an orbit with Earth, joined this group of trapped planets within months, remaining behind the Earth, likewise stalled in their shared orbit, a dark hunk of black rock reflecting little light and thus essentially invisible to man. This has been the setup throughout 2004 and into 2005, the rapid plunge of Planet X toward the Sun countered by the Repulsion Force into a slow creep past the Sun. This is not a static condition, however.

You were always kicked in the balls as a child because the other kids knew you were a douchebag?
then you thought you would try to be cool and you got those spider-man underoos and walked around with them over your pants showing everyone? That only made them kick you harder. Then you developed that hideous public nose-picking habit. I'm surprised you had any testicles left after that.
I would have thought you learned something from those days... -

To date there has been no explanation as further efforts to research the sound have been unsuccessful, because it has not been heard since 1997. It is possible to identify animals by the sounds they make. Normally, when sounds are unidentifiable, they are given names like Whistle, Slowdown, Upsweep, and Train. The Bloop, although it sounded like a blue whale, originated 4,800 km away, seemingly ruling out any known marine animal. However, some believe that this sound could have been emitted by a whale and carried that distance by warm water currents.
Some postulate that the sound may come from a huge and as-yet-undiscovered species of octopus or squid, or possibly a new species of gigantic whale or fish even larger than the blue whale. Others dispute this, pointing out that all known cephalopods lack the gas-filled sac necessary to produce this type of sound, and that a cetacean larger than a blue whale would still have to surface for oxygen, making it susceptible to sightings, unless it had some smaller breathing apparatus, not unlike an elephant's trunk. The Bloop theoretically could have been the product of a machine. The frequency of the Bloop technically is not too low for a machine, but it would be difficult for a machine to produce a sound of such volume.[citation needed]
It is also possible that the sound was made by a large number of creatures emitting a synchronous vibration ,or the mysterios Cryptid, Trunko.
[edit] References in popular culture
The electronic band Dntel produced a song entitled "Life Is Full Of Possibilities," composed of the Bloop recording.
In Steve Alten's novel The Loch the main character encounters the Bloop in the Sargasso Sea. It later turns out to be a large and ancient species of eel.
The site of the Bloop is remarkably close to the site of the fictional city of R'lyeh from H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu", where an ancient undersea monster (Cthulhu) lies sleeping. Lovecraft said that R'lyeh is located at 47°9′S, 123°43′W in the southern Pacific Ocean, with the bloop also being targeted somewhere in that range [1].

...www.kasugai.jp a candy company - cute animation - surreal imagery - but what do we see we don't at slusho? A copyright at the bottom of page! All Japanese corporations are very jealous of their copyrights - also too much English and not enough Japanese on Slusho site. cheese.jp looks like a real Japanese corporate site... Slusho looks like a clever imitation...
-
I've been trying to run anagram programs on the images "horse oven mitt" and "fish swiss cheese" or fish cheese, and my brain's blowing up ...
So, fuck it. I don't even think this Noriko is a person ... anymore. If you read the Slusho thing, it plainly talks about Noriko as if she IS a whale. It talks about her son, Ganu, being a "lead ocean scientist" and "he was very big."
Anyone stop to consider that Ganu is a whale already! I mean ... if his crazy ass is doing deep, frozen sea dives, why not? So, he's a whale that accidentally ate the thing that came to him in his dreams ... and well, it made him super whale.
PLus .... it talks about how Yoshida loved to drink large amounts of liquids everytime she ate ... just like a whale. And I think it's key that it says, right after she was never heard from again ... "her deliciousness made her loved throughout many towns and villages."
This is a whale story. Ganu's Mom gets killed by a whaler, chopped up, and served. Ganu gets his revenge, baby! And you think I'm joking. -
if you take the 1-18-08 and substitute for letter, you get ARH. combine that with AKM from the paddle and you get ARKHAM.Something else to do with Lovecraft?
-
Another important thing to notice, I think, is that it is Satoshi that's on the email for the Slusho drink. It says nothing about Yoshida or Ganu or Niroko ... because those aren't real people at all. They're whales that were given a backstory.
-
A couple of you talked about these sites yesterday and the fact that they altered the text about the missing family heirloom (it no longer says it was a book), but then no one said anything else.
I don't know if it's relevant, but I focused on the linked sites that changed upon refreshing the pages (from abz3293 and tribbleagency). The other sites that also had these rotating links are the following:
sqlspace.com, mesotheliomacancers.com, reportingwars.com, mosteligiblebachelors.com, anti-christ.com, and mabus.biz.
Some of these seem to have possible relevance. There are several posts on the different sites by the names CrazyHorse and The Founder.
The other sites linked that don't have the rotating links seem to be either real sites and/or red herrings.

I recall taking lunch money from band geeks like you. Actually I was doing you a favor. If left to your own devices, you would have over-eaten terribly. The depression brought on by the constant rejection of even the ugliest and most fowl of the girls in high school was forcing you to search for new ways to dull the pain of your adolescent, strydex stained life, hence the urge to stuff your face. Better to be a skinny geek than a fat tube of goo, so at least you could avoid developing diabetes later in life. Since we are strolling down memory lane, I will be by later to take your lunch money again, so have a big breakfast. ZetaTalk.com forever.

Here’s what I think…
A company in Japan is creating a product of some kind as the result of an ocean based scientific discovery. ‘The Object’ was transported to New York for further investigation and development. It was tested on a variety of creatures (sea and land based), all of which seem to have a positive reaction (maybe it improves the quality, taste, and reproduction).
As a result of this object being tested in New York, an ancient creature is awakened – a creature whose intelligence and power far exceeds our own. The object calls to (or releases) this ancient creature. Upon arriving on the shores of New York, it discovers in horror that the world it once knew, is gone. Mankind, considered a mistake during its initial creation, now populates the world like so many ants, covering areas the creature once roamed with impunity many millennia ago.
What looks like an explosion, is actually a ball of energy that ignites the air around it. Its purpose is to shoot forth its offspring in search of this object. These sub-creatures fall about the city like meteorites as their parent begins its trek through the city to find the object. The creature’s rage, coupled with its desire to find this object, forces it to tear apart everything in its path. An object revered by mankind as a symbol of enlightenment and superiority is torn asunder in disgust and heaved through the city as a sign that mankind's dominance is over.
Unbeknownst to Rob, an object he is taking with him to Japan at the request of his supervisors, is the object the creatures are searching for, leading him and them to an inevitable confrontation. A confrontation that leads to the destruction of everything and everyone around him, perhaps even the world itself.
What power does the object contain and can it be used to repel the creature? Is it accessible to humans? Does this creature’s awakening force other, even more ancient creatures, to awaken or return to the Earth as a result? Wouldn't this cost more than $30-mil to produce? Am I even close? Why are you still reading? Ha!

From looking at other sites, is a parody site of a marketing firm that's been around for quite some time, and not tied to the movie.
The abz site ... well, it's a crapshoot. Sure, it makes sense, but then again, anyone with an Internet connection and a jones to start something can make sense of what we know so far. Until abz either comes out with something new or responds to one of the 8 billion people who have tried to tell him where the heirloom is, I'm leaving it alone. Got better things to do. Focusing on Slusho is one. -

CTHULHU OFFSPRING?: HOBART, Australia (AP) -- A squid as long as a bus and weighing 550 pounds washed up on an Australian beach, officials said Wednesday. "It is a whopper," said Genefor Walker-Smith, a zoologist who studies invertebrates at the Tasmanian Museum.Giant squid live in waters off southern Australia and New Zealand -- where a half-ton colossus, believed to be the world's largest, was caught in February. They attract the sperm whales that feed on them. The dead squid, measuring 3 feet across at its widest point and 26 feet from the tip of its body to the end of its tentacles, was found early Wednesday by a beachcomber at Ocean Beach on the island state of Tasmania's west coast, the museum said

I'm afraid that this "viral" marketing campaign may ultimately be counterproductive, at least for those who traffic this site. In the end, those of us who would hope to see an apocalyptic showdown between the forces of good and evil may have to settle for a much more simple “Blair Witch meets Godzilla” SF thriller in which the supernatural elements are largely confined to the largely irrelevant ravings of stereotypical “religious nutjobs” who will sinisterly connect the appearance of the monster to the beast of the Book of Revelations/Kali Yuga/Cthulu/etc. (Consider, for example, the unfortunate priest in George Pal’s “War of the Worlds” who meets his end marching toward the Martian vessels while reciting the Psalms 23.). As I noted before, unless it is entirely a red herring, the Slusho! element in the film strongly suggests that the movie will be SIMPLY a monster yarn.
From what I’ve seen, the trailer seems to have been shot rather unremarkably, in an almost casual verite manner, and was most probably not assembled with the intention that it ever be subjected to a frame-by-frame audio-visual analysis. The few “clues” are obvious - the move to Japan and the Slusho! t-shirt combined with the information set forth on the Slusho! website and the alternative title “The Parasite” pretty much tell us everything we need to know by the time the real action starts.. From this information, we understand the essential “plot” which sets up the real film - a POV documentary-style depiction of the destruction of NYC by a monster (or monsters) and the desperate attempts of some attractive twenty-somethings to stay alive. Perhaps the parasitic aspects of Slusho! will allow for additional plot elements, as the group of dwindling survivors discover that the ingestion of Slusho! renders its consumer susceptible to zombification (i.e, sharing “the dream”) or physical mutation (i.e., becoming “a whale”), and members of their party suffer disconcerting, even monstrous mind and body alterations. If Slusho! has been widely distributed in NYC, the film could morph into Half-life by its mid-section, as Slusho!-drinkers-turned-mutant-zombies pursue our hapless heroes. (Boring prediction - although “Rob” has been chosen to work for Slusho! in Japan, he personally hates the stuff, and so has never consumed the six needed to work its magic...)
Again, regarding the possible “deeper” religious/metaphysical elements which may somehow connect to the primary plot, I agree that the recurring numbers six and eighteen clearly suggest some connection with the number of the Beast (666) as set forth in the Book of Revelations. Although I remain intrigued by the possibility, I doubt that religious themes will be significantly featured in the film. With regard to the photos on the website, I fall into the camp that believes the “demon” in the picture of the girl(s) is merely a wisp of hair. (I also feel that the photo shows two girls with similarly beautiful faces, but would not be surprised to find that the photo was simply a doctored image of the same girl; in no case, however, does the lady bear any resemblance to Quasimodo...)
A more interesting possibility is that the ugly yellow figure (possibly) emblazoned with a number six who lurks in the background of second photo is somehow demonic. I find it intriguing that she leers towards the camera from behind Rob as he is FORCED to consume a drink of something which might possibly be Slusho!. The expression on her/its face is definitely ugly and disturbing, and seemingly not accidental. (These photos were carefully CHOSEN, after all, to advertise the film.) Does this mean she is a minion of Satan? Maybe.
On the other hand, in keeping with the execrable English used on the Slusho! website (done in the style of Asian restaurant menus), maybe the yellow figure is a ham-handed effort to represent demonic Japan. Somehow I doubt it. (But, if the producers really want to test the efficiency of their viral marketing scheme, they only need a few folks to forward a complaint and related links to that photo and the Slusho! website to some Asian-American protection organizations...)
Ultimately, though, I don’t think the photos or the trailer offer much in the way of numbers, signs or symbols which could constitute “clues.” Certainly it seems unlikely that there would be "clues" in every frame of the trailer, and most of the things people might isolate and subject to analysis (i.e., wall graffiti, refrigerator magnet writings, license plate numbers, etc.) are probably present merely by happenstance; accordingly, any mystery or import or cosmic significance they might be thought to have is entirely of our own making. For instance, it seems obvious that the film will NOT be released with the title 1-18-08, or that the film’s action takes place on that date; instead, this is simply the release date and the producers want to insure that you know it. Consider that a movie about a giant monster destroying NYC on January 18, 2008 will seem considerably tired on January 19, 2008. Although the photos on the 1-18-08 site are date and time-stamped, this is certainly related only to marketing; again, the important thing is that everyone know this film is being released in mid-January.
In addition, I don’t think much should be made of the scenes of destruction which appear in the trailer. The major explosion in the distance seems curious to me, as it appears to resemble a fireworks display, rather than an ordinary destructive explosion; might these be merely preliminary effects which will be altered before the release of the film?
Also, while immediately arresting, the sudden appearance of the head of the Statute of Liberty was so startling and memorable that I question its use in the trailer. It’s a genuine Planet of the Apes moment that may have been squandered.
In any case, I’m betting that JJ Abrams and the rest of the production team are now going over the trailer and the photos that they had already determined to release, in the hope of finding (and inventing) new ways to capitalize on this scavenger hunt, and/or introduce some of the elements we may be “discovering” into the finished product in order to lend it some geek gravity. -
Hey Blooper
Googled Nancy of ZetaTalk, convicted crackwhore? arrested twice for prostitution?
Is that true?
BTW, I was thinking Gorgo too.... -
So far I haven't seen anyone mention the picture of the monster/demon/whatever head that is printed on, I think, a black curtain. I'll have to watch it again, but I think its close to the beginning of the trailer.

Created by the NWO to discredit her. The fact that aliens implanted DNA in her brain is something the 'powers that be' don't want the world to know. So they orchestrated a smear campaign agaisnt her and her message of the world in peril! She has gotten a new alien signal that says, the movie is remake of "THE GIANT CLAW!!!!"
-
I've watched this preview a hundred times and I still think its pretty sweet. It seems people are so ready for a let down that some of them seem ready to hit people still excited by it. For those of you already depressed by the excitement (weird), get some therapy. Seriously, its just a movie and its all in good fun. If you can't get excited oversomething that is essentially free of cost, what can you be excited about? Do it up, JJ!

Is Nancy hot? If she is, I might listen to some more Zeta talk...
-
No she is not. But what a brain!! What do you think? Gorgo or Giant Claw remake?
-
Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, from the minds of Sid & Marty Krofft!

I don't have the program for it, but someone should listen to the audio of the trailer backwards and see if it says anything.
just a thought -
Isn't it obvious? Hail WARWICK DAVIS!!!

Way ahead of its time.

And the segment with Bigfoot and Wildboy, classic.

The area being blown up is the south tiip of Manhattan. Battery Park/Financial district. It's actaully about the exact place where the trade center was. If the buildings were still standing, they would be in the shot (first explosion). The Statue of Liberty is also down in that area hence the head being tossed. I think Rob's party is supposed to be in Soho and they're all on the roof looking downtown at the explosion.

First, historygirl: the Ethan Haas nonsense is tied to a Canadian group who is putting out a table-top, NOT VIDEO, role-playing game.jagar: Actually, the idea that Lovecraft's works have fallen into the public domain is very much up for debate. Trust, me, I'm an attorney who works with intellectual property. There are a lot of questions dealing with who owned Lovecraft's material and when. As such, given the various forms of copyright protection in this nation, there are a lot of questions regarding whether or not Lovecraft's work is still under copyright protection. And, as stated before, if this WAS a Cthulhu movie, I can guarantee, given its possible fan-base, that any movie made on this scale that didn't get the appropriate clearances would be challenged.So far, the best theory I've seen is the one about a biological substence that mutates people, etc. I'm sure some tree-hugging "don't mess with the world" kinda message.One thing I don't understand, however, is why people would keep filming when running from mass destruction?

You forgot to mention she's HOT (at least as far as comic book heroines go). ;)

they forgot to mention her hotness

I'm certain I heard "It's a lion" when I first saw this before Transformers. I'm certain because it struck me as a very odd thing to say.
When taking into consideration these lines from the teaser:
Party-goer #1: "It sounded like an animal";
Newscaster: "...a thunderous roaring sound";
Party-goer #2: "What animal sounds like that?"
Is it really so far-fetched?
Now, the interesting thing is that when I listen to the web version of the teaser, I hear "It's alive", clear as day.
So, how to explain the apparent discrepancy? Answer: the web version is different from the one shown in theaters.
Why? Hell if I know. Perhaps the teaser was subject to a last minute tweak because someone felt the line as originally spoken was a bit too revealing. Let's face it, there isn't much mystery or subtlety in having a character exclaim "It's a lion."
We'll see if history proves me right. -
Why are people intent on thinking that this thing is a lion? The guy on the street did not say it's a lion.
-
Obviously, he tried to get it on with the Statue of Liberty and ripped off her head when bitch wouldn't put out.
In response to an earlier post, that's not the Empire State Building near the explosion but the Woolworth Building. If they are indeed near 401 Broadway, they're about half a mile away from the explosion facing downtown towards the Wall Street area. And Ground Zero, BTW. -
Doesn't anyone think the throwing of the Liberty head is anything more than collateral damage resulting from an insane giant man-thing poisoned by a sno-cone?
-
Yeah, that's not the Empire State Building. If you check the trailer again you'll see the Empire State Building with its St Patricks Day lights very quickly before the camera is pointed towards downtown.
-
A separate blog is being set up at THIS site: http://tinyurl.com/2shuwd. Check there to find like-minded folks that think they heard LION.

You said "One thing I don't understand, however, is why people would keep filming when running from mass destruction?" My response to that is, have you ever had a camera running and had something really big happen? you kinda forget you've even GOT a camera still running in your hand... and if you DO notice it, people who use cameras a lot and enjoy photography instinctively will continue filming. I know that's true of me, anyhow, I've continued filming through some pretty weird shit.

If you'll recall, abz3293 is a license plate in the trailer. Yesterday, someone found that before the Slusho site was found. It had the clue about the family heirloom (book), which was later altered like the original 1-18-08 site was. This site led to the tribbleagency site, which was surmised as another in-joke since Abrams is allegedly working on Star Trek. So, I wouldn't count these sites out just yet. They led to the other sites I mentioned above, some of which might be relevant, some maybe not; it's hard to tell at this point. If we're to believe that Abrams really contacted Harry, then he says there are MANY sites out there we haven't found yet, not just 1-18-08 and Slusho. I'm not sure we have enough real clues, and it's strange to me that this many people really haven't gotten any closer in the last 24 hours. Like death on a cracker found after I mentioned those sites again, the Anti-christ and Nostradamus sites could be relevant due to the apocalyptic nature of the trailer. Other people have already mentioned Illuminati as a possibility, and this is mentioned on these sites. I just thought these sites could be looked at because the first two sites seem to be cashed for leads for now.
-
After carefully looking again, I'll concede it's likely the Woolworth Building, the lighting is similar and I wasn't familiar with it before. But the scene is undoubtedly a composite.
-
any ideas?
-
Ok this may have been beaten to death already, and some of you may be hanging on every word that JJ Abrams says, but here is some solid proof ethanhaaswasright.com is connected to "Cloverfield" Mike Vogel is in the cast. Go to Mike-Vogel.com which is his official website. He has the "untitled project by JJ Abrams" listed with the movie website linked to none other than ethanhaaswasright.com . Sorry everyone, but JJ lied.
-
Maybe, but that post you're referring to was on 7/7, and the alleged email was received after that. I think what other people are saying about Ethan Haas makes more sense.
-
Now, I'm not saying that the Ethan Haas website is tied to the JJ trailer, maybe it is...maybe not. My big issue is that I have a hard time beleiving that a company the makes table top rpg's would go through the trouble of making the Haas website, espically when the giants in this market have never launched a web campaign this detailed. Also if I'm remebering right this game Alpah Omega will be the first game produced by this company, and once again I find it hard to beleive that a start up game company has the money to spare on something like this. Also Alpha Omega is set to be debuted around 08-16, not the date the Haas website says is important. If the Haas videos are related to the gmae how did Paramount get them pulled from YouTube? Lastly, after calling around I've yet to find naybody in my area who will actualy be carring the game, and you wouldn't advertise a game on the web without a much more stable distrubtion system in place.
I don't know what the Haas site is about, but I'm fairly certain it is not Alpha Omega. -
It may be the official fansite, but it's not directly affiliated with Paramount or Mike Vogel; which means its also subject to human error, in the hype over ethanhaaswasright and the cloverfield connection, they could just have made the assumption they were related as we all did before, and haven't updated it yet. There's no contact information to conform they were told by Vogel himself thy were related, so we must assume JJ still speaks the truth.
-
it definitely looks like a composite...the perspective from the roof is a bit off if they're supposed to be on the East side of Broadway. I didn't notice the ESB was green... an odd choice for January. So is 63 degrees. Did anyone consider that maybe the date on the camera is set incorrectly? (kind of joking)
Also, how was this Ethan Haas site discovered anyway? -
I think the writing on the paper between the photos on the fridge is like the writing for the alphabet on the ethanhaas website with the puzzles. If the writing is the same then yes they are linked.

Well, the ethan haas connection started when we found out they were pulling people off the cast of The Class to work on 1-18-08, and one of the characters on the show is Ethan Haas, and someone found ethanhaaswasright.com and jumped to the reasonable conclusion that there was a connection, considering the content of the site. There's no reason for JJ to lie about there not being a connection, as if there wasn't a connection it's stealing the promotion and publicity of his movie for someone else's game.
-
I posted this originally in the talk back with the trailer.. just thought i'd open it up to you guys since no one else has mentioned this here...
I just checked out imdb, under the FAQ's it says that the official site (www. 1-18-08. com) is owned by Paramount Pictures. However, it also mentions that the DNS registration data for the site says it's owned by 'the Freemasons' and administered by 'Albert Pike'. For those of you who don't know, Albert Pike was a prominent Freemason who wrote a book on Freemasonry called 'Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry' in 1871. Now i'm sure you've all heard a hundred and one different conspiracy theories about the Freemasons, mostly stemming from their highly clandestine nature. Pike himself was said to be a 'devil worshipper', people often quote this passage from his book: "LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darknesss! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!" p.321. Others say they worship a 'Great Architect of the Universe' known as Jahbulon, derived from Jehovah, Ba'al (an honorific title for deities[gods, spirits, devils] in ancient Babylonian culture- e.g. Ba'al Zebub..yes that's right Beezlebub) and Osiris. According to the British author Stephen Knight; who wrote a book on Freemasonry entitled 'The Brotherhood', some Muslims believe Jahbulon to be the Dajjal, or the Muslim equivalent of the 'antichrist'. With me so far?? You may notice that it’s all sounding very doom and gloom… trust me I didn’t pick my username because of this movie, its just irony I guess. Anyway, let’s move onto what my guess is… I could be wrong be this may be a movie about Cthulhu. Stay with me on this.. Cthulhu was supposed to have a worldwide cult of followers with their origins in Arabia, he was written about by the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred…possible links here with the Dajjal from Muslim beliefs? Cthulhu as we know, is a terrible monster and is one of Lovecraft’s ‘Great Old Ones’. Now I’ve already mentioned some other possible ‘Great Old Ones’ from human history and mythology e.g. Beezlebub, Osiris, Jahbulon etc etc… The point being you could transcribe Cthulhu as being one of these entities. We also know Cthulhu had a cult of followers, just like Jahbulon has a ‘cult’ of followers i.e. the Freemasons. One of the cultists in Lovecrafts work is Old Castro, he states that their role as cultists is to liberate Cthulu for his ‘return’ at the proper time: “the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth....Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom” Sounds like the coming of the Antichrist? The Dajjal? Jahbulon?…. Cthulu????? A further note… Cthulu is supposed to have been based on Sumerian mythology, which is part of the Mesopotamian cultures the same as Babylon. Remember Ba’al? Oh and I just remembered, Pazuzu is also an Ancient One from Mesopotamian mythology for all you Exorcist fans ;) Well that’s my two cents anyway, it could be a looooooong shot but hey it was fun trying! By the way… maybe that animal-like noise we hear is the call of Cthulu??? "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" -
You heard it here first.

Once again, it's not Mike ovgel's website, it's his fansite, which is administered by his devout fans. The only involvement he would have is setting up exclusive interviews and writing the occasional letter to the fansite. He has no control over the content. So he would get nothing out of a reference to ethan haas on the site.
-
from Harry to JJ in response to the e-mail could have (maybe) put this whole Ethan Haas thing to rest. All Harry had to do was reply: "Ok. Cool. But why was Paramount pulling the Haas videos off of YouTube? Is it related to another Paramount project?" Simple as that. So come on, Harry, ask him the question. Why the fuck WAS Paramount pulling those videos? If they ARE related to another Paramount project, all JJ has to do is say "yes, they are related to another project". That's it. He doesn't have to give any details that will blow up said "other" project's spot, just tell us why Paramount would be pulling those videos if they have nothing to do with 01-18-08. I don't see how Paramount would have the right to order a cease and desist on something that was accidentally being confused with one of its properties, seeing as how the Ethan Haas sites do not claim to be affiliated. Wouldn't the people who are actually behind those sites have something to say about that?
-
Let's lay this to rest without any ambiguity. And while Harry's at it, can he ask JJ to tell the holdouts that it's ALIVE and not LION??
-
Yes. I mean, I do feel at least a little bit stupid for still thinking the Haas sites ARE connected since JJ says they aren't...BUUUUUT why the hell were those videos pulled by Paramount? It just seems like they wouldn't have the right to request that if the sites are, in fact, unrelated to 1-18-08 or any other Paramount project. It seems like Paramount is possibly infringing (sic?) on the rights of the "actual" creators of the Ethan Haas sites. If you ask me, the Haas sites are related, and that, plus the Slusho shit, still reeks HEAVILY of Cthulhu/Lovecraft or a Lovecraftian story. If the Haas sites are, indeed, unrelated, then I fall back in line with the crowd that is specultaing about a more "traditional" Kaiju storyline.
-
Do they answer questions like that? I've never sent them e-mail before - will they divulge why a particular video was taken down (outside of the blurb stating "at Paramount's request").

... is in the trailer too. He is doing a cameo. 00:00:16 - 00:00:17 and 00:00:37 - 00:00:39, he is wearing a hat. Perhaps that hat is a clue and all the other stuff just red herrings.
-
What the hell is that horse talking about?

Same glasses, but definitely not him.

...is going on between 1:15 and 1:17? It looks like people flying around in the stairwell.
When they first come out of the building at 1:19, some deeply mistaken woman is looking in the opposite direction. Also, guy in black trenchcoat who may be our flyer (below). He doesn't seem very surprised or excited.
There's a jump cut at 1:25.
It sure looks like someone flying in to push the couple out of the way at 1:36, but he could have jumped off a car. We can see someone getting a running start shortly before that on the street. -
Isnt that girl on the right Jessica Lucas? Shes in the trailer too when she looks up as the Statue of Libertys head is flying towards them. On her list of movies, it doesnt say shes in it but Im pretty positive its her, it looks JUST like her.

Okay, so I've looked over the Slusho site extensvely, and it seems to me that there are 5 potential clues/interactions:
1. "Slusho Zoom" - The horse on the home page has this in his thought bubble. This seems to inform you (if you didn't already know) that you can zoom in on the site images. This may or may not mean there's a clue hidden here, though. All I know is that I zoomed in on every damn thing and haven't found anything so far.
2. Feedback Email Address - My hunch is that if you send an email to this address you will eventually (when they get around to implementing it) start to get update emails from characters "in the game" ala the A.I. ARG.
3. History Page - Weird story. I'm sure people have googled all of the names in this thing already, but that doesn't mean there isn't some other clue hidden here.
4. Images on the History Page - An underwater horse (seahorse pun?) thinks about a blue oven mitt? A fish thinks of cheese? What does it mean? Hell if I know. Maybe a red herring.
5. Slusho Drinks at the bottom of the page - This may be a long shot, but something about that image made me feel like something was up. I know from the A.I. ARG that it's easy to see patterns and codes in everything once you start looking, but the asymmetrical way the cups are arranged and filled... it says code to me. And is "You Can't Drink Just Six." a clue to solving it? -
I looked into www.exittomysterystreet.com and it's some sort of new orleans site, but scroll down a little and there's a topic for the movie there.
-
Don't know if it has been posted
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasius_Balkin_Zeno
from the site http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/07/09/confirmed-slushojp-is-a-cloverfield-viral-website/ -
someone posted earlier that "You Can't Drink Just Six" is an anagram for "a toxic industry's junk" or "a industry's toxic junk." If so, seems possible some underwater beast eats japanese toxic waste buried deep under the ocean and turns into a giant whale creature that wreaks havoc. And then they serve the toxic waste to kids.
-
anyone think so? i just re-re-re-re-re-REwatched the trailer, and it's parked right outside his building, so it might make sense that our Main Dude has a certain Family Heirloom someone or someTHING is anxious to get back.
-
Now it seems like none of the potential "clues" from the trailer have panned out, except for the Slusho shirt. And the Slusho shirt might be enough (remember the Jeannine Salla credit was the only clue in the A.I. trailer). But there was discussion above about a strange noise that sounded like a woman saying a word (R'lyeh?) right before the music and lights cut out. It sounds a little farfetched, but of all of the "clues" that have cropped up in the trailer so far, that's the one that gives me a little chill every time it comes up. Listen to it. It really is creepy.

I think you're onto something there.
It does have the Google urchin tracker code in the source, as does Slusho.jp and 1-18-08.com. I know that it is common, but there are a bunch of tracker services and the 3 sites use the same one. I'm too busy at work. Someone rape exittomysterystreet.com for clues. -

Probably got a little carried away with the hope of seeing the true "Mighty Duck", but typing January 18 into wikipedia gives us loads to surmise wit h such as
1-Anastasius Balkin Zeno was a Byzantine advisor to Empress Ariadne in the late 5th Century.
After the death of Ariadne's husband, Eastern Roman Emperor Flavius Zeno (February 9, 474 - April 9, 491), Anastasius Balkin Zeno made his most famous prediction, that the Apokalypsis would occur on January 18th, 2008. He was brutally murdered by orthodox extremists once word spread of his prediction.
It was the uncompromising attitude of the orthodox extremists that drove Zeno's succsessor Flavius Anastasius (c. 430–July 9, 518) to adopt a monophysitic programme in 512.

Referencing the Slusho site: Something is altering water-based creatures for land and land-based creatures for water. Where does cheese come from: a Cow. The Fish is in the process of becoming a land animal of some type capable of producing a different type of protein (Fish=Cheese). It’s changing…it just hasn’t changed completely yet which is why its’ still underwater! And the horse was normal until it was fed this secret ingredient and now it is a full blown water-breathing animal. What do we do with horses: we turn them into products! The whole point appears to be that providing this ingredient to living things allows them to assume capabilities along a different evolutionary path for the purpose of obtaining better quality products or a more efficient food chain. What’s the result? Something is accidentally unleashed that until now was previously hidden or maybe disguised in our genetic code. Who knows what such an ingredient would do to a human being…

When the first episode of Lost was on T.V. I watched about half of it and said "this is going nowhere" and turned the chanel never to return. Since then Lost has gained a tremendous following, but from what I've heard it indeed hasn't really gone anywhere, I know, I know It's about the journey and the mystery and all. I guess it's just not my thing, same deal with Alias; looks cool, just never got into into it. But I can tell you this MI3 was awful, really awful. My question is this, What makes y'all think this isn't a Lost style wild goose chase where there is no goose? I know, I saw the trailer, it was really engaging and cool, but still....
-
Now I think we are finally seeing something come together - license plate "ABZ" and "Anastasius Balkin Zeno" Predicts the apoc. on 1-18-08. Unless some sly dog just recently planted this into the wiki to mess with us..... very very interesting.

I remember reading somewhere a while back an Orca remake was in the works. As in the Giant Killer Whale. Not familiar with back story. Hmmm.
-
The Anastasius Balkin Zeno entry into the wiki was made on July 11th by "CRIMSONFIELD". I suspect it's someone messing with us.
-
Why the technical information on WhoIs for 1-18-08 is the address to the George Washington Masonic Monument. There is a huge logo on the lawn too. Someone start digging.
-
...is listed on the Wikipedia page STL Critic posted as having predicted in 512 AD the "Apokalypsis" to fall on January 18, 2008... this has already been edited out by some quick witted Wikipedian... ...but there is an entry for Anastasius Balkin Zeno (who never existed) that reads as follows: Anastasius Balkin Zeno was a Byzantine advisor to Empress Ariadne in the late 5th Century.
After the death of Ariadne's husband, Eastern Roman Emperor Flavius Zeno (February 9, 474 - April 9, 491), Anastasius Balkin Zeno made his most famous prediction, that the Apokalypsis would occur on January 18th, 2008. He was brutally murdered by orthodox extremists once word spread of his prediction.
It was the uncompromising attitude of the orthodox extremists that drove Zeno's succsessor Flavius Anastasius (c. 430–July 9, 518) to adopt a monophysitic programme in 512.

Albert Pike tech contact on 1-18-08.com and notorious freemason - I believe this is a real lead thanks to EonBlueApocalypse.
A Quote from Wiki and California Freemason On-Line - He dies in the the First House at eight o'clock in his 81st year - all the same digits in the trailer 1-18-08.
Also noice that all the other digits from in the quote are in the Address of the Admin Contact Henry Kelvin - 1424 East 9th Street
There are 2 4s listed April and the Fourth month, 2 from April 2nd and the 9 and one form 1891.
There is a significance to these numbers - any thoughts??
"He died in the "first" House of the Temple in Washington, D.C., at eight o'clock in the evening on April 2, 1891, the fourth month of his 81st year. Thus passed from this life the all-time Goliath of Freemasonry." ALBERT PIKE AND FREEMASONRY, March-April 2002 edition, California Freemason On-Line -
I'm still weirded out by the guy that flies in towards the end whle the head is rolling down the street.... that doesnt just happen while your fliming that had to be a stunt man whos job was to either jump off the car or be swung in like he leaped up high.... also the camera pans over to the left to make sure we catcha glimpse... nothing comes to mind but can any of you think of any superhero movies where they fight something "alive and huge"?
-
If you click on the characters, in the history section of the site, two characters will float by. A Seahorse and a squid (like, I don't remember what the hell it was call!) Put your cursor on any one of those two characters; One will Display of slice of swiss cheese, another An oven mitt? Any takers?
-
Remember on the 1-18-08.com site, the mural reads we'll miss you rob. If you turn the picture upside down, those letter form into numbers (supposedly) and a nine shape could be seen next to the girl at the edge of the picture, when turn rightside up, is a six. Well, at the bottom of Slus(gis)ho.com there is a banner which Read, can drink just six. Under that, The number Six appears with a few japanese (characters) letters underneath. Anyone see a connection?
-
Tell US?!
-
are just reaching too far.. I'm almost willing to bet that there aren't any other sites up (yet)...just to see how long we'll take the bait.
from what I've seen/read, just about everything's been exhausted and to not much of a conclusion.
methinks we need another hint.. -
in the party picture on the 1-18-08 sitethere is a yellow "2" in the letter in E on the banner as well as the Letter 9 on the chicks shirt on the right...could be more up there. could nothing could be something.
-
We're not reaching too far this more out there.... JJ Abrams specifically said the only site we have found SO FAR is 1-18-08.com meaning there are more or he's lying... we have no reason to suspect he is lying so there must be something out there....
-
At the bottom, where the banner reads, cant drink just six. A couple of those cups are full. Any ideas?
-
Also if you turnt he picture of rob taking shots upside down the letters we'll miss turn into 551W 113M... not sure about the M but 551W 113st is the address of an area right off broadway where the explosion was... kind of a weird coincidence
-
the song woman on the trailer is a remix from this band www.mstrkrft.com
-
i think
-
As someone has said, at the bottom of the Slusho! web page there are 17 cups, and only four of them have something left in them. It seems you can only drink 13; nice number.
-
And to add to my above post; it seems they want to infasize that number seeing as there's only one filled cup on one side and three on the other. 1 and 3...13? Again, great number.
-
...Satoshi can be either a male or female name and it means "ashes"... his address is in Marunouchi Tokyo - not too far away is Odaiba, where there is Aqua City... and what can you see at Aqua City in Tokyo that might surprise you? http://www.jref.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/1660 another "coincidence"?
-
113st?
I thought the explosion was downtown. -
Gotta agree. Anyone who is into Lovecraft can tell from my name that I am a fan and therefore I would not be too pleased if this is a "Cthulhu attacking New York" flick. I'm excited about the trailer, the mystery and such, but feel confident I will be let down. Perhaps I am old and cranky, but I am none too thrilled about the concept of The Great Old Ones laying waste to NYC. That would not be respectful, so to speak, but that seems to be Hollywood's M.O. Alas, just like the TINO thing, I probably stand alone. Carry on folks. I look forward to finding out what this project is. On a side note, those Cthulhu and Dagon figures are astoundingly cool.
-
...there's definitely more to the 1-18-08 website than just what we see. This is a valid path: http://www.1-18-08.com/images/pic_1.swf

Yes, I did a google map check. It

doesn't the fifth pic of the tree with blue lights on that site you just posted kinda look like what's on party boy's shirt on the 1-18-08 site? add a couple red stripes on it (which could be a corporate logo for slusho) and there we go...

Hey just to go along with the '13' theme - there are 13 birds flying in a 'V' formation.

the explosion WAS downtown by Wall Street/Ground Zero/Staten Island Ferry. But interesting the 551 W 113th St address is across the street from the Columbia U School of Engineering. Perhaps a student engineering project gone awry...?

If this is just a "monster attacks NYC" movie, I'll be disappointed. Likewise, if it's "mutants affected by slusho", I'll probably not even go.
Watching the trailer, it seems evident that Rob knows what's going on. After the power comes back on, he had a look of despair on his face, like a thief that realizes his route of escape has been cut off.
Hopefully, this movie won't be too cornball with a mutant monster throwing fireballs around. -
i can't wait for this film. this movie will be good. even if it does turn out to be a dud, i still think the trailer is one of the best ever produced.

Anastasius Balkin Zeno, I don't think, was a real person. In all likelihood, this is a faked page. There is no record of him in the Ecclesiatical Histories of either Socrates Scholasticus or of Sozomen.I would also note that, even for Wikipedia's questionable nature, a web-page that has absolutely no references is a bit weak to believe. In addition, it was last modified today - as was the list of "events" on the Wikipedia page for "January 18." That is a bit sketchy.It also appears that this entry, and a modified entry regarding the list of events on the page for January 18, were both changed to include this information. Ergo: I don't buy any of it.

According to Wiki, January 18 is Winnie the Pooh day. I think this is the key to everything.

a yellow 2 in the E of WE"ll.
A Yellow 9 on the creepy yellow person in he same picture and
A 4 photoshopped under the eye of the girl with the yellow tinted skin on the right in the other picture. It is hard to make out but it is the Mascara streak under her eye and then there is check mark cutting across it making a 4- it is subtle but it is there.
2,4,9, are the 3 numbers hidden in the pictures (all in yellow might I add) and are also the unique numbers in the Pike quote numbers - 18421891481

fibonacci sequence?

Ok so i emailed the contact of the tossing game. I asked if they were related to 1-18-08. the reply came back as follows. "8-1-07........indirectly" Contact name was Steve King. does this help anyone? disprove or prove any connections?
-
who was hyped about snakes on a plane? lol
-
Thank you for the reply - I'm not familiar wih what that means is that a Lost Reference???
-
Yes, it does. Sorta. Something is supposed to be revealed, but I thought that was just Ethan Haas stuff, which may or may not be associated with "The Project".
-
You can google it or look it up on Yahoo. It is not a LOST referance. It is a mathamatical sequence. you can Wiki it here as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wi ki/Fibonacci_number

Did anyone notice that the NY1 is a web news site. but in the trailer it is a tv news broadcast.
-
R'lyeh.No? Well its still not a Voltron movie either.

Actually derf, NY1 has been on the air in New York since the early 90's.

does anyone have any thoughts about the guy who leaps over a car to push a couple out of the way fromt he statues head?
-
The japanese word for Godzilla is Gojira and is a mix of the words Gorira (gorilla) and Kujira (whale). There is alot of talk about whales on the Slusho site and about little whales that got bigger by eating something. I doupt though that it is a Godzilla film because such a huge property would hardly go unnoticed.
-
I think there's definitely a strong masonic link. I think most people are looking past it when the clues actually are quite substantial especially as the site is owned by the 'freemasons' and administered by 'albert pike'. These are strong clues people aren't picking up on.
I believe Don Lockwood in here, mentioned that he also found references to the illuminati. It all ties up if you ask me.... Like I stated originally, maybe they are heralding the coming of the apocalypse by awakening the 'beast' which I believe could be Cthulhu. In Lovecrafts work, we all know about the cult of Cthulhu who will wake Cthulhu from his sleep, maybe Abrams is using the idea of secret societies as being the guardians of the beast as some people already believe, whether you think that is conspiracy or not? -
yeah...I don't think he leaped over the car just to push the couple...I think he leaped over the car to avoid getting smashed and just slammed into the couple.
-
yea i do i dont think hes flying just that he gets catapaulted off the trunk of the car in front of the black suv and he just lands on those people.

seems to be a site following both ethan haas and cloverfield with a link to a message board on the subjust and they've been adding links at the bottom of the pages as things progress, recently appear to have added www.thehansofoundation.org and www.tritonenterprises.net

I had to stop reading the posts about a third of the way down... you guys are driving me crazy! You are all overthinking this. Slusho.jp is definitely part of this Cloverfield project and if you think they decided to put a horse thinking about an oven mit and a fish thinking about cheese on the history page for fun, then just forget the whole thing. Time to start thinking about the more obvious clues people, COME ON!!!

If it's a coincidence, then IDK, but when I emailed tritonenterprises i got back a little "about" email (what the company does, etc.) It looked fine until I scrolled back to the top where it says (Autoresponse 8107) information@tritonenterprises.com

From the game site that solved the Ethan Haas puzzle
http://www.nzgamer.com/news-all-1810
“It's Ragnarok! It's the thunder of The Gods!
Ice falls into the lands like daggers into the snow, the hills burn like the caught by the fire…”
In Norse mythology, Ragnarök ("fate of the gods") 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
The earth will shudder, so violently that trees will be uprooted, and mountains will fall, and every bond and fetter will snap and sever, freeing Loki, the God of Mischief, and his ferocious son Fenrir. This terrible wolf's slavering mouth will gape wide open, so wide that his lower jaw scrapes against the ground and his upper jaw presses against the sky. He will gape even more widely if there is room. Flames will dance in his eye and leap from his nostrils.
Jörmungandr, the Midgard serpent, and Loki's other monstrous offspring will rise from the deep ocean bed to proceed towards the land, twisting and writhing in fury on their way, causing the seas to rear up and lash against the land. With every breath, the serpent will spew venom, staining the earth and the sky in poison.
From the east, the army of Jotuns, led by Hrym, will leave their home in Jotunheim towards the battlefield of Vigrid (Óskópnir).
From the north, the grisly ship Naglfar (made from the nails of dead men), which will be set free by the tsunami and flooding caused by Jörmungandr will set sail towards Vigrid, with Loki, now unbound, as the helmsman, and Hel, with all those from her realm by the same name, as the deadweight.
The world will be in uproar, the air will quake with booms, blares and echoes. Amid this turmoil, the fire Giants of Muspelheim, led by Surtr, will advance from the south and tear apart the sky itself as they too, close in on Vigrid. Surtr will brandish a fierce fire sword, the Sword of Revenge, that consumes everything in his path with flames. As Surtr and the others ride over Bifröst, the rainbow bridge will crack and break behind them. Garm, the hellhound bound in front of Gnipahellir, will also get free. He will join the fire Giants on their march.
The battlefield for this end of the world battle is called Vigrid.
Vigrid is at about Zero Degrees Latitude
New York is at about 73 Degrees Latitude
Also, from the game site that solved the Ethan Haas puzzle
http://www.nzgamer.com/news-all-1810
“Co-ordinates are off, suggest recalibration by 73 degrees” -
Yeah, that's definitely one of the sites, but doesn't look set up yet...or is it? Here's a quote from the 8107 Autoresponse:
Triton Enterprises is also working on advanced R&D, stay tuned for more information as we make humanity better.
Now how are they going to make humanity BETTER? Talk amongst yourselves.
-
I have seen the trailer, very intrigued. From what i have read no one has mentioned the head of liberty, first off something had to be either flying in from the east or being coming from in the sea from the east. Also we know its some kind of monster and it has to be taller than the statue of liberty, look at the end of the trailer. look how its head was ripped off. it was pulled from back to front. I honestly hope this movie lives up to this hype or someone will not make another movie in this town again. Catty OUT.....
-
On the Washington Masonic Memorial...is a freemasonry logo. Albert Pike/freemasons and the Santa Monica airport thing. These are what I would say are the BIGGEST clues we have so far. Anything else is pretty far fetched.
-
Look that one up on www.m-w.com. I did. Here's what it says: Main Entry: 1tri·ton
Pronunciation: 'trI-t&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from Greek TritOn
1 capitalized : a son of Poseidon described as a demigod of the sea with the lower part of his body like that of a fish
2 [New Latin, genus name, from Latin Triton] : any of various large marine gastropod mollusks (family Ranellidae syn. Cymatiidae) with a heavy elongated conical shell; also : the shell -
this is an ebay search for slusho: http://tinyurl.com/2zagby
As you can see it is for some meteorite (sturdy vaca muerta) with Slusho in parenthesis.
If you click the sellers name under "meet the seller" and look at the "listings" on the left it has more meteorites for sell with (rob v)(ethen) (haas) and (boko) attached to the items. All items that have been sold have been purchased by the same 2 or 3 people.
There is SOMETHING here.
I'm off the research sturdy vaca muerta -
You can't really tell at all from the photo on the 1-18-08 site, but freeze framing the trailer shows that the letters spelling "We'll miss you Rob" are made up of pictures.
-
we get this little tidbit: Like his father, he carried a trident. However, Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. Its sound was so terrible, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a mighty wild beast (Hyginus, Poet. astronom. ii. 23).
-
when i right click the option for play does not come up. where else can i find it? does anyone have the new pics there archived yet on another website?
-
is dead cow in Spanish btw
-
don't know if anybody did this yet, but in the history section of slusho you find out that her son who is named Gonu, discovered the deep ocean ingridient. if you google "gonu," it turns out to be the name of a super cyclone that struck Iran on june 7, 07, killing 23. A massive oceanic storm and this "history" of slusho's origins? interesting.
the link to the gonu cyclone is here: http://www.alertnet.org/thefacts/reliefresources/TSR/200702A_02A.htm
-
...it would be ultimately lame if this creature can destroy several city blocks in an instant but it can't hunt down Rob (if indeed it's coming for him).
-
but you guys are getting carried away with the numerology and anagrams...if you treat the numbers in 1-18-08 like a math equation 1 minus 18 minus 08, you get -25...Rob is 25 years old...a coincidence? YES IT FUCKING IS!!!you guys HAVE to step back from this. the clues on the sites are not going to be so retardedly complex that you need a calculus text book and a copy of the shitstorm numerology movie jim carrey was in, to figure them out.there's simply clues that we either haven't figured out yet, or that we have noticed, but haven't found the links to the sites. look on t-shirts, maps, fridges, great...but PLEASE stop with digging through website codes and finding some poor paramount tech geek's name, and getting a hard on for freemasons!! there is more than one albert pike!once you are 3 ours into processing code for a website, you are one of the maybe .0005% of people out there that understand what you are looking at. do you think that's honestly part of the marketing plan?it's in the trailer, and in the pictures, and probably has to do with oven mitts and horses.again, all of this goes to show that Transformers sucked...
-
Slusho really has the stuff going for it. Are you eating this
trailer up or is it eating you? End Transmission. -
Lets Recap what we know, Sluho is some crazy drink invented by japanese crazies after they explored the depths and found a secret ingredient that turned him into a whale in his dream. (Slusho.com or slusho.jp). Goes goo with lovecraft, Great Deep Ones or whatever.
Makes sense with lion/alive. five Days Ago PARAMOUNT did not want anyone to see the trailers that ran in the Theatres. I saw transformers twice and watched a pirated trailer several times. I honestly believe that in the theatre version he said "IT's a lion, it's huge" And that may have been "too revealing" so paramount got rid of all the Pirated trailers to now release only days later a trailer that clearly says "it's alive, it's huge" So maybe it is a lion monster Now I am not saying this is Voltron...it's not fucking Voltron, Universal is making Voltron with Pharelle Williams, check on Imdb. So my vote is that this is something completely new that does follow the stories of HP Lovecraft and involves Gods Battleing for the end of the world, I think that maybe it's two monsters in two cities seeing as supposedly they are filming in LA and New York, and using the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean!!! Ign.com. So my advice, don't drink Any Slusho and stay out of the ocean! Haha that big ass whale and a fire breathing lion are coming to kill us all!!!!
Say no to Godzilla Matthew Broderick already fucked that franchise in the ass...somebody Save Ferris! -
has anyone really looked at the graffiti?I can't readit too well, maybe "own slasher" "BIFF"...it actually looks like it says BIFF more than once...
-
is the brisbane international film fest., lol...biff.com is unregistered...anyone want to pony up $50 and have some fun with the youtube nerds?
-

Here's some fairly solid proof that the Ethan Haas sites are tied to an upcoming RPG being released in August.
http://www.ffxiresource .com/devel/ethanhaas/
The artwork from the ethanhaas site is identical to the released artwork from the RPG. I would focus on the slusho site for more clues personally. -
and look at the name by the item for sell, then click the vendor's name "thunderintheattic" and look at the names attached to the other meteorites for sell.
-
I think that it's a smart someone using attention-grabbing words to up her sales.
It works! -
I'm assuming people have tried arranging the pics on the 1-18-08.com site into similar poses, and not found anything?
-
ebay was mentioned prominently in Transformers. They are definately co-operating with JJ Abrams on this one.
He's also lying in that Ethan Haas IS connected to all this.
-
i cannot get the play option to come up for the 1-18-08 website. please help!!!
-
Ethan Haas is not related to JJ's project....there has been nothing showing that it is, and evidence above shows that it is not.
-
well then, sounds like someone on ebay is gonna get sued for rights infringement!
-
Just noticed that Rob has the sweet racing chair and steering wheel for the x-box 360...gotta love my job being on hiatus...
-
if not I can tell you all with 100% certainty that the line is most certainly "it's a LION, it's huge!" as I saw transformers w/the wife last night and heard it clearly and accurately.in any case the trailer looked awesome on the big screen.
-
ok. anybody find this? if you turn the picture at 1.18.08 of rob getting a drink upside down you find a series of numbers. you have to start with the nine of creepy yellow girls shirt first. so, it becomes a six. using the letters on the sign in back ground as other other numbers..you get 655-1773.
a phone number with no area code. well, where is the trailer set? nyc. nyc's area code is 212. i goggled 212-655.1773. guess what is the only result? hi mr. ethan haas!
apparently someone else is making the connection. i called the number. "not yet in service"
-
Maybe yelling-man said "I saw it! It's alive and it's huge!"
Try saying it quickly outloud like this "it's alive-n-its huge" -
I can tell you with 100% certainty that you're wrong. Sorry. Once again, tech nerds on both IMDB and YouTube have slowed down the audio and filtered out the background noise and the word "alive" is unmistakeable. When slowed down, the "v" sound is quite clear.
-
...saw the first Abrams 'Slusho' reference. Was quite happy. I can't wait to see how it all ties in.
-
KIMBA, THE WHITE LION!!!!
-
has anyone considered the possibility that there are TWO trailers?
They may appear identical but may contain different clues! Hence the alive/lion confusion.

It was something previously thought to be dead or inanimate? Isn't it overstating the obvious by having a random pedestrian saying that? ... maybe just bad writing.
-
oh well the search goes on.
-
Boko means deceipt or fraud... it's the origin of the word bogus.
-
I watched one season of Lost and that was enough for me... it was like the entire run of x-files in one season... with a great build in mystery that ends up being boring as hell. Question for the fans, did any of the cryptic mystery crap ever actually pay off, or did it just get annoying? Just worries me when thinking about this new flick....deja vu.
-
the 212-655.1773 phone number does NOT say "Not YET in Service" it says "Not in service" just a standard phone recording message.
Maybe the sign can be read that way, but I think the ide that a hidding phone number would include "leet speak" 1337... Yeah, dubious. -
that it's not dead, and it's not inanimate. Like you know, a giant missile flying through downtown New York. Doesn't mean it's undead or anything.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Gargantuas&oldid=142932612
I bet this is the movie he's making! Check history of the page and the line about JJ Abrahms remaking this movie for Jan. 2008 release has recently been deleted. Everything in this flick matches up with what everyone is talking about. -
you are a genius...good work man! Coincidence my ASS! JJ Is gonna bring it all together!
-
What was the name of the building destroyed in the trailer? if it was the chrysler building then we may have a re-telling of the Metthew Broderick Godzilla from the perspective of the average joe on the street! the chrysler building was destroyed in a massive explosion in that movie also.
-
& THE NEWSCASTER ROMA TORRE IS REAL TOO...FYI - keep plugging away....
-
The wiki page for War of the Gargantuas was revised due to suspected vandalism. The only link I get for the phone number is the mezin source blog, which of course has been dispelled as part of the game by JJ. Reverse phone searches turn up no results for the number.
-
Yeah, but in 'Jurassic Park' when the goat's shredded leg hits the top of the land cruiser... do they look towards the gate and say.... 'it's alive'? Okay there are probably better movie examples of my point, but see what i'm saying? If they hear these roars, say 'sounds like an animal' and most likely hear sounds of nonmechanical based destruction'. Seems like one of the first reactions of the crowds would be like our own on this board.... 'sounds like Godzilla is coming'. I guess i'm implying that it's pretty obvious to us that whatever is coming is alive. I'm thinking that the line 'it's alive' might not even make the final product when released... I think it was maybe added to the trailer to blur any connection to Sept. 11th style terror. They definitely stole the reactions from the home videos on the new york sept attacks for this trailer. okay rant over
-
kurzinski did the number work for you? i get that its not in service.
-
No reason to apologize there big fella...I don't doubt the free time available to single tech nerds. such free time is indeed spent slowing down trailers to discern if its lion or alive. I wish sometimes that I was still single and had such free time. although if I did, I'd prolly spend it at the butt nekkid club.
-
So... 1)At the Slusho site Gonads or Gonu or whatever his name is consumed the new ingredient and it made him big. 2)His mother is missing (presumably going after the same ingredient). 3)Lastly, go to the Parasite website and follow the link to tossing games and then the link to Steve's myspace page. The background music is "Long Cool Woman" by CCR. What does all this add up to?
If this is a remake of ATTACK OF THE 50FT WOMAN I'm going to throw up my 6 Slushos. -
I have also thought about the dual trailer theory. however the guy to run that question by is GenJackCosmo. I suspect with all sincerity he's in the know on this one and can tell us for sure.so with that said General what do you think?
-
...Looks like fans will find out around 2009-2010 (I can't remember exactly when they plan on ending it.)
-
1.) Perhaps the reason for all of those "Ethan Haas was Right/Cloverfield is related!!!1!!1!taco!!!!" messageboards is because they don't know yet that they are related. Not everyone has enjoyed the awesomeness that is AICN.
2.) I took the "Demon/hair" piture from the 1-18-08 site and brightened the area with a piture program, and I must say that it looks pretty convincing. I would swear on L Ron Hubbard's overdue grave on there being a torso in the picture. I'll try to post a link to the picture later.
3.) It's very glaringly obvious that a few people here actually have figured things out, but a whole lot of other people here are to busy trying to post or disprove meaningless crap (I will slaughter the nest person who menions the alien lady. Enough all ready. Go probe yourself.) to notice that we might know a lot more about this if we actually listened (err... or read... sumfink like that...) to people.
4.) "I saw it! It's alive!" Learn it, live it, love it. There is no lion, that's retarded. What's next? "The guy in the back looked like so-and-so's hairdresser!"?
5.) Somebody should write to the "ABZ 3293" guy and tell im we found the car and ahare the reaction. If anything, it would be akward and funny.
I think that was a decent firs post on here. So saith the Prophet! -
guys i need help to decide... does the lion baseball throw the liberty's head.. or does he whack it with his tail while prancing through the city? maybe he kicks it...
-
If its two trailers with only one appearing on the web we got a load of work ahead of us. The harder to study one (transformers) is bound to have a real gem that the online one doesnt.
-
yeah..my bad on the mis-transcription.
nonetheless, it's still a mighty odd co-incidence that those digits can be seen in the photograph and it IS a real number in 212 nyc.
i am keeping my ears on that number. -
You also hear one guy say "No animal makes that sort of sound..." before the explosion - besides, in Jurassic Park there's a reasonable expectation that you're going to see a T-Rex because you're told it's in there. Here, it's still up in the air whether or not the noise is made by something living, until the buy says he saw it. Of course, not knowing what the "It" is, he just says "It's alive, and it's huge!"
-
so as i said when i first saw the trailer in transformers WHAT IS IT!?!?!
-
in the background dialog there is a guy reading off a phone number from his cell phone and says something about "John" or maybe "Josh"...I can barely hear the number, but I think it might be 206-605-0502. I tried it, and it just went to voice mail, but it's a pretty interesting voice mail, considering what the guy might be saying in the trailer. probably nothing...what do you guys think?
-
what does the voice mail say? if the owner is an innocent civilian i don't think he wants a million geeks calling his number!
-
Hey, how many were initially at the bottom?
-
ABZ3293: 3293 is a star cluster.
Ebay page with the meteorites. If you scroll down, the guy selling them says they are part of his fathers collection. If you do a search his fathers name, Claudio Canut de Bon, you get this:
"It should not be forgotten what happened close to the town of Cordova (Tucuman) in the year 1622. One morning, when the sky was more clear and cloudless than usual, one could see a small lonely cloud ( ) and without moving much in the air it condensed and enlarged more and more, untill started to be heard a ( ) which rapidly gained strength, ( ) large ball of fire which made several spiral turns in the air and fell to the ground, raising much dust and ( ) where it fell. Withnesses to this fire were three spaniards and some indians, ( ) to the place where it had fallen and saw the smoke, and since in the whole of the plain, there was not a single stone, they found a large ball of stone, of bronze color, depressed one half ( ) in the ground. It was warm and the plants were burning around it; they took it to the Jesuit Monastry in Cordova, - where it remained for a long time - , weighed it and it turned out to weigh thirty spanish pound; it was so solid and round that it could serve as a ball for a piece of artillery."
Sounds like something in the trailer. -
212 is only manhattan with overlay in 646 and 917 which I think are predominantly cell phones according to wiki
and 206 is washington state -
it BOGGLES my mind, that people are still going on about this.
it has been DISPROVEN on youtube, all over, people have isolated the audio and HE DOESN'T SAY IT!do lions generally cause gigantic explosions?if it WERE SOMEHOW A GIGANTIC MUTANT LION THAT WAS CAPABLE OF UNLEASHING FIREBALLS AND ROARING THROUGH A MECHANICAL VOICEBOX, DON'T YOU THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE SAVED THAT SECRET PAST THE FIRST GOD DAMN TRAILER?!?!?!?!I am just beyond myself that I am still reading posts about this...OK, calm down Wonka. they wasn't raised right. it ain't their fault...count to 10... -
in the end I don't think we'll know if there are two trailers. perhaps but hey it's given JJ lots of exposure for his little movie and a plethora of quippy comments from AICN posters. I often wish for an online world where there's a free exchange of ideas that aren't criticized, but alas, it's not to be.so instead let's talk about which celebreties have the herps...
-
...lists 206-605-0502 being Wireless in Seattle, Washington. A cellphone with call-forwarding to voicemail. Wonka, I think you might have found a clue. ^^ (The Hardy Boys & the Exit to Mystery Street)
-
Paris Hilton. Thats why she went home for undisclosed medical reasons.
-
lion movie
-
Don't call the number posted by badmrwonka. its a number for some lady's real estate business.
-
it was meant to go to my nutty ass friend in Seattle as part of a prank I've been orchestrating for hours about some information sharing group I'm supposedly starting (then when he got calls, he would think it was part of that and hilarity would ensue)...of course, I mistyped the god damn number...sorry for the poor lady with her real estate! sorry Mike!
-
A bunch of new trailers just popped up on quicktime... i'd suggest 'The Ten' by David Wain.. and 'Vantage Point' looks like a possibily decent flick. '30 Days of Night' i'm not sold on ... they show too much of the vampires and dialogue seems corny.
-
maybe its chuckie cheese coming to life... i would like to see that...

Compare the pics. Look closely. They're the same down to the two people and the tank. That's it. It's over. -
to be honest man, I enjoy your posts. I may not be on here like I was in the past, but you're always one of the frequent guys I read as I know you're always making good points.with that said, I heard about this trailer monday morning driving to my office at 7am, a full two to three hours before aicn had a story about it. in fact, those radio clowns were talking about lion and alive as well. so my semi-interest started there.then there was a debate monday afternoon as to what the actual line was either lion or alive. and that's where I lost track of stuff. until tonight about half an hour ago. and the only reason I made the post in the first place is because I did catch tf last night and recalled the debate while watching the trailer.with all of that said, your questions on whether mutant/mechanical lions are capable of unleashing fireballs and roaring via mechanical voiceboxes and/or whether or not they'd save it beyond the first trailer are easily addressed by: we're all sitting around rationalizing a movie about some kind of "huge" and "alive" thing terrorizing new york and what its capabilities may or may not be and whether the star of the movie's genus/species may or may not be revealed in the first trailer...do you or anyone else on aicn see anything wrong with this?
-
Apparently it's something to do with an RPG game by Mind Storm Labs called "Alpha Omega." It's slated to be released "late-summer 2007." That takes care of the August 1st references. Compare the pictures. There is no denying it - http://www.ffxiresource.com/devel/ethanhaas/
-
3bguy1, if you go to Steve's MySpace *mirror* site, the song that plays there Toto's Hold the Line. Which would put a crimp, I suspect, in that theory.
But if this is a remake of one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies ever, who'd you cast as the new Nancy Archer? -
first off, thanks for the offer of drugs, but I think you should keep them if you're still hearing "lion"...I suppose my problem with the lion theory is split in 2, 10% of my problem with it is how illogical it would be to make a $30 million dollar movie about an obscenely large lion terrorizing new york. you KNOW people would laugh at that. aliens, robots, even sea monsters, I can accept that. but if it somehow ends up being a giant lion, I will eat my own face.90% of my problem with it is the same problem I have with creationists, or people that still believe the earth is flat. I'm a huge believer in science, rationality and logic. if someone with a gigantic computer (and who is an even more gigantic nerd) isolated it, and there is NO way it says anything other than "alive"...it's on youtube, it's on this TB and others, 4 or 5 times.and so I'm just a little perturbed when people pop into the TB, seemingly to participate in the discussion and search for new clues, and either haven't caught up properly, OR choose to ignore scientific facts.but you're right, I need to calm down. I just got into a big argument about intelligent design last night, and I'm still in that mode. so I apologize. and again, I will count to 10...
-
I understand the lion vs. alive debate, the Mystery St. sticker on the fridge, the Ethan Haas stuff ... but where in the trailer do they mention "bloops?". Or was it just a random connection someone made?
-
soyou would know it was in jest...get it? injest? drugs?I'll be here all week.now time for bowling!! wish me luck!
-
you know how to complete the line wonka and rest assured I WILL most certainly hold you to it. and trust me killer, you'll want A-L-O-T more than just xanax if/when the time comes.ps--I only use the xanax to fly and only when the flight attendant is fat.

So it's pretty clear the Wiki articles on Anastasius Balkin Zeno (ABZ) were made up earlier today - and he was was not a real person.
Someone pointed out the 'January 18th' page was edited today too, by 'Crimsonfield' - mentioning the year 512. (3293)
So either someone is making fun of this talkback, or JJ's people will continue to post allusions to ABZ3293 on various webpages.
This could stay interesting, or get boring fast. I think I've ruled out VOLTRON or CTHULU though. (or Haas) -
Is meant, according to Cthulhu fans/cultists, to be a sound made by Cthulhu. According to scientists an animal to make such a sound must be bigger than a blue whale. Yup... there are real life Cthulhu cultists out there... although most just go by the lore and don't believe it for real.
Anyway people... i've got to stress FREEMASONRY is our strongest link so far! Most of you guys are totally missing this point. Seriously check out what I posted previously and check it for yourselves. You may not come to the same conclusion as me, that's fine... but the link to freemasonry is undeniable. -
what freemanson links do you have?
-
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's not Attack of the 50 Ft Woman... but I'd cast the mom from "Little People, Big World" as Nancy Archer if it was. Try to get THAT image out of your dreams tonight.
-
its normally about this time in a talkback that toally awesome poster comes along and shouts something about said talkback needing TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION or something like that. man I miss that guy. or girl of course, but what are the odds of that? I mean really?
-
Look on imdb and look under FAQ's about 1-18-08 it stats that www. 1-18-08. com is owned by Paramount Pictures. However, it also mentions that the DNS registration data for the site says it's owned by 'the Freemasons' and administered by 'Albert Pike'.
-
yea i looked on whois and saw that i thought u had something else to show... what im wondering is what could freemasonry have to do with a giant monster because something is big and something is huge...unless by huge he means huge discovery... like when someone says wow this is huge for scientists everywhere =o)
-
Wonder if there's any relation to this: http://11808.blogspot.com/
Looks kinda like a gargoyle or something. -
Where is Total Fucking Destruction?!?!?!?! He's one of the reasons I actually read all of this page. Where's TFD?!?!
-
I gotta give you ALOT of credit for even knowing who that guy is. he came into a talkback I was in six months ago around 2am and scared the hell out of all of us. have you seen him lately?
-
maybe its an ad campaign for a new drink coming to theaters everywhere on 1-18-08... SLUSHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I have not. You know, maybe he's the monster in this movie and that's why he's not posting.
I mean, that explosion looked like some Total Fucking Destruction to me!! -
at 00:24, the box on the lower left. Product Placement?
-
It looks like all we have to go on right now is the teaser, 1-18-08.com, and Slusho.jp. Ethan Haas is bogus, just as Abrams said. Don't believe me? http://www.ffxiresource.com/de vel/ethanhaas/ - I don't know why Paramount was taking down the Ethan Haas videos, but I think this sufficiently proves it's not connected.
-
That we've already figured the entire plot out somewhere on here, and that it has nothing to do with Cthulhu or, obviously, Voltron or Godzilla. It is probably something original, and probably, due to all the hype, pretty lame.
-
we've also got abz3293.com its the license plate on the suv that gets hit by lady libertys head. on a side note at 1:12 there is a brief second where the fireball lights up the side of the wall and it says either "1981-2004 or 1961-2004 ace". I've looked it up but can't find anything so far. any ideas?
-
we are all way to into this search... when this movie comes out... everyone is going to be so hyped... that even if it is a pretty good movie... with all this time spent... we will be VERY disappointed with the outcome. Unless its 300 caliber.. do you still think it can live up to the hype?
-
The cause of the mayhem in NY in the trailer and the absense of our beloved talkbacker can only mean one thing:
TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION HAS HIS OWN MOVIE!!! If I was bored enough, I would take all of the info we have now and explain how it all relates to TFD, but I don' really have that kinda attention span for it. So saith the Prophet! -
look what I found while searching the internets:
http://www.myspace.com/totalfuckingdestructionwho knew this guy had his own band? perhaps that's why he hasn't posted in awhile because I haven't seen him in a LONG time.now, if he WAS the monster in the movie, would whacking lady liberty's head off qualify as TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION I wonder? -
All i've picked up in talkbacks was someone confirming it's downtown... there has got to be someone who can say exactly what building it is, if a building at all. Time to visit google maps i guess.
-
If its a 'Lion' why would they call it a 'Parasite'? They are calling the monster 'The Parasite' but I dont think of a lion as a Parasite.
-
Man, I am seriously going to check that out.
Well, maybe Ol' Liberty couldn't handle the TFD after he had his way with her. Afterall, this is TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION we are talking about. -
Go with me on this....
I've seen a lot of posts relating to research companies and discoveries. The slusho website claims in its history to have found a secret ingredient.
Google "LPL" and you'll see it stands for Lipoprotein Lipase. Google that and you learn the process needs water to work.
I'm not a scientist and had trouble understanding the biology of all this, but what if after 6 drinks with this radioactive version, something happens?
I'm just throwing this out there. -
if you come across TFD lemme know: infitior@gmail.com because I'm going to start a TFD blog and track him like a hound on a fox in the spirit of the talkbackers herein who've taught me how to REALLY obsess over something highly insignificant.
-
Sure, you could blow up City Hall, or the anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge, the NYSE etc, but that fireball is past the Woolworth Building, and it is huge. It's more like a detonated explosion, like a firebombing, and not any specific structure.
Personally, I bet that the creature has some sort of dragon-like or Godzilla-esque nuclear breath.
They're trading off the memory of the WTC disaster, and in that regard it's cheap and tawdry. Look on a map--check this link to Google Maps http://tinyurl.com/yv23e7 and you'll see the WTC site is just to the southwest of the Woolworth Bldg. Only people who live here know that the explosion is where it is, so since we're the only ones that might think it's a little crass, they could have just as easily blown up some shit uptown and nobody would know the difference. -
Anagram of "Parasite" and "cloverfield" = Radioactive Reefs LPL.
LPL is Lipoprotein Lipase, an enzyme that needs water to function.
What if, after drinking 6 of these radioactive drinks, something goes wrong? -
Look on a map to see how far away she is from Manhattan. Unless the creature tears her from Liberty island and carries her to Wall Street, tries to mate with her, and gets pissed off when he finds out she'll huddle your masses but not give you head, well, he exacts a little poetic revenge and sends her head a-flying.
-
In the trailer there are tons of Japaneese items all round the Apt. Even onthe fridge there is a letter there in Japaneese. So Rob has many connections to the far east then just a job.
-
What the fuck? Stop it with the Myst puzzles already!
-
we are all way to into this search... when this movie comes out... everyone is going to be so hyped... that even if it is a pretty good movie... with all this time spent... we will be VERY disappointed with the outcome. Unless its 300 caliber.. do you still think it can live up to the hype?
-
The most offensive part to me are the reactions of 'actors' in the trailer, that seemed like they are ripped directly from home videos of 2001 attacks. Monster movies don't deserve that kind of reality.... even 'Godzilla', inspired by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, seperated itself far enough from what it was alluding to. I'm guessing our post-2001 sensitivity is gone. Terrorists must be fascinated with our fascination of destroying our own cities.
-
Does that make me connected to Japan? No, it makes me a pseudointellectual ponce.
-
its reality... if some fuking HUGE monster was coming after me and there were a bunch of explosions i would yell like that too.. would you rather the actors react like... "hey look behind you a giant monster we should get out of here."
-
It was fairly effective, but I just think the geographic location could have shifted uptown. You know, blow up some of the millionaire homes in the Upper East Side. Hell, they're insured!
-
Ever since I heard the roars on the trailer, I was excited by the prospect of a good ol' monster movie! They don't make enough of them.
-
I can't pick out the exact location still of where it looks like that fireball is, but if it's truly that close to the WTC site, i do find that a bit lousy. ALSO, can you pick out exactly where they are viewing it from? is it NYU or something? I'd like to further inspect the possible stupidity of the statue of liberty's head being thrown where it is. At one point in trailer behind the black dude blubbering you see pretty clearly a building with it's roof lit brightly green at night. Where are the viewers, gimme the crossstreets of what looks like center of explosion!!!
-
You guessed where i was going with that... Wow didn't know that was the empire state building lit green like that. That is a nice detail you picked up on time of year, but seriously, i'm not expecting these guys to have the biggest budget in the world to correct that mistake. That might be the most FX intensive part of the flick.
-
Those people are dressed like that on a roof in January? I don't think so. One good point about seeing the Woolworth Building in that shot...it's one of the most beautiful buildings in NYC but gets overlooked because of the ESB and the Chrysler Bldg. It's one of the jewels of the city. Hoboken's a cool place to live, terrific view of Manhattan.
-
Call this wishful thinking, but I think I found something. I was looking at the photo of the the two girls half faces and wondering, why exactly that composition? Whether hair, a statue, or a figment of our imagination there appears to be a face in the background. But only half of one. Why not see what a full face would look like? So I opened photoshop and made two copies of the "imp" reversed one, removed the black and did an overlay. I got a face, but not what I expected. Check it http://tinyurl.com/2vxtq2
-
I'm not necessarily saying the albert pike thing is related however there are possiblites it was.. perhaps the 3rd world war he speaks of is a war of the world vs something else... maybe an invasion of some type who knows... however that has been done by speilberg so it isnt too likely
-
I was looking forward to meeting you! I still believe that TFD if responsible and Dues Vault and I shall track him down and find out the truth. TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION IS ETHAN HAAS!! Oh, and nice srategic use of the poem as innuendo.
So saith the Prophet! -
from when my mom was pregnant with me! Where'd you find that?

I was going to guess LES based on the angle of City Hall and the Woolworth Building, and the NY Life Bldg and ESB line up, but I haven't looked that closely at the street stuff. But I think they might be more toward Broadway. Anyone else know? Now I'm curious.
-
Wow, I'll have to check this out! It's about time we learned something new! Keep sleuthing and report back with the results.
So saith the Prophet! -
and bam there it is right there on Orchard.
-
Well that's a real shame. Weird Paramount was taking down the videos though... Another funny thing is although everyone's claiming Haas is linked to Alpha Omega...the MindStorm Labs (creators of the RPG) looks way less polished and well-made than the Haas site itself! I don't know what to believe anymore and i want some Slusho!
-
You were looking forward to meeting me? Did we have a date? Sorry if I forgot; I'm absent-minded. Now that I know Manhattan is going to get hit in half a year, I'm going to go hang out down at the South Street Seaport and watch for that odious creature. When it hits the island, I'll be waiting...
-
Well as I said before, it's a composite street that doesn't really exist. There are different parts of Broadway, and there are parts of Orchard Street. The 401 Broadway sign doesn't actually exist, and the bigger Orchard Street (uninteligible) banner doesn't exist either, I'm guessing those are to earmark their real-life couterparts during the CG part of the movie.
-
ITS A MOVIE you'll be waiting forever! Don't do it!! Chuckie Cheese is coming to life... were all doomed!
-
Just a stupid observation, but on the page http://www.sledriding.com/cloverfield cousin/ there are 2 files named NY. One is NY.jpg and one is NY.gif. The one named NY.gif has a pair of parasite eyes in the top right hand corner. Maybe the black tentacle looking cloud surrounding the city is the parasite? Just a thought.

Err... Sorry about the creepy introduction, but I read AICN a lot before I became a member and I really liked your posts. That's the reason behind the entire "waning to meet you" thing.
If you're going to wait at the peir, will that make you this movie's equivelant of the old fisher guy at the beginning of 'Godzilla'?
So saith the Prophet! -
But yeah, it's a freakin' movie. I do love seeing a little LES in the movies.
-
Nobody has come up with anything new for a while. And people who don't bother to read the talkback are rehashing the same old shit over and over again like it's new.
I'm sure the 011808 site will be updated in the coming days and I'm sure some new videos will start playing soon as well. -
The worst part of the trailer are all those tragically hip young NY doofi.
-
maybe a new trailer will come out in the next big paramount movie? and maybe these parts aren't in the actually movie but just to build anticipation?
-
Aya Brea yay!!
-
it could all be co-incidence of course, but who/when/why did people link the eran haas sites to cloverfield? if you notice, mindstorm labs is a brand new game design company, they have no history, alpha omega is their first "flagship" game...and it's a game all about the strange re-emergence of ancient evils. never mind alpha omega is a term that applies to the idea of an eternal, ever-lasting, ever-being God...yet in the Cthulu myths, the Elders existed long before time and reality as Man counts them. like i said, Mindstorm, if it's real, is enjoying the happy co-incidence of timing...but i still want to know: how did ethan haas get linked to cloverfield so quickly? i saw transformers on monday night, i knew about ethan haas by tuesday night....and then we have paramount yanking EH videos, and we have JJ seeing the need to vocally decry those sites and say they have nothing to do with cloverfield. something doesn't add up..and it could well be all of us thinking too hard on the whole thing! lol
-
But I'm not reading 1200 posts when most of them are crazy hair-brained notions tied to BS websites and anagrams that spell out the name of the tailor who sews JJ's suits.

1.) Could it be that one of the reasons that we're not finding any new sites could be because we're expecting huge budget stuff instead of real-world web crap? Take the www.sledriding.com/cloverfieldcousin\ stuff for instance. the Sled Ridng site is utter crap and so is tossinggames.com but they all are somehow linked to the movie. Someone should look closer.
2.) Maybe this "Ethan Haas/Alpha Omega" suff was fabricated to set us off the right path. I mean, I'm a pretty good gamer but I have never heard of Mindstorm Games or whatever it's called.
3.) Is the NY background pic the same as the one at the www.parasitemovie.com site? If it is, it supports theory #2.
Oh, and thanks, Bronx Cheer. Good to know I'm not instilling feelings of terror yet.
So saith the Prophet! -
Shot as a trailer. Not even from principal photography.
-
Why not? I'm sure to get more hits than my current site does.
-
...Black parasite cloud/smoke monster...smoke monster from Lost....
-
Is the NY background from www.parasitemovie.com the same as the one at www.ethanhaaswasright.com ? Could some one confirm or debunk this?
-
what is the next MAJOR paramount movie? maybe a new trailer will be attached to it
-
I checked, and they're not. Crap, I really thought I had something for a minute.
The Prophet is feeling depressed! -
I see several sites connecting Ethan Haas and Cloverfield. They have links to each other on the sites.
-
They either A.) They aren't connected and those people don't know or B.) They are connected and they are trying to figure it out like we are.
@Nikem: I'm checking to see what their next big one is and I'll post it if I can find it. -
hey, i'm looking at both sites right now, and they skyline don't look remotely alike. there are way more buildings in the EH one, and i see only a *couple* buildings that may be similiar in shape and appearance.
-
check this out. www.anti-christ.com
-
The monsters in this film are connected to the monsters in the new Pepto-Bismol MAX commercial!
-
the next major paramont movies are mostly comidies and one about a polar bear....so most likely not, but i wouldnt rule it out....
p.s. good try buddy -
Good to know that I'm not the only one chasing around every little possible lead. Heck, all they'd have o do it mention taco meat and I'd be knee-deep in the history of tortillas while trying to find a connection between it and freemasonry.
So saith the Prophet! -
I have been reading everything i could find about this movie. When i saw the trailor i literally felt a twinge in my spine, thinking "what the hell was that?" Definatly good marketing scheme, and I can not wait till more leaked out. I do have to say, however, that this thing has become so viral, and has literally exploded on the internet blogs, that if he doesn't (and by he i mean someone involve with the movie) doesn't come out with some concrete infor soon, this thing could spin well into a disaster for this movie. Expectations are now so high everything from godzilla (which would be rediculous AND is rediculous) to a very elaborate apocalyptic scenario. None the less, this thing has become so huge that something needs to be said. Otherwise this all could be very dissapointing. I mean how pissed would you be if you go into the movie and its jurassic park 4, or the friggin smoke monster from lost. I don't know about you, but it would be the biggest dissapointment in movie history. It really better kick some major @ss.

"Sensual Demi Moore (We're No Angels, Ghost, Indecent Proposal) stars in this harrowing portrait of a world gone mad. Where gas costs $40 a gallon, fresh vegetables are as rare as an unpolluted stream and roving bands of punks terrorize the citizenry. But those problems are child's play compared to the terror to come. A LAB ACCIDENT UNLEASHES GENETICALLY ENGINEERED PARASITES THAT GROW TO GIGANTIC PROPORTIONS...and...guess what happens next!" Thats the description of the 1981 paramount film "The Parasite" ... Maybe the lab accident is at the hands of SLUSHO! who is currently making fresh improvements for us
-
Okay, I've concluded that the "Ding Dong" thing on the fridge holds luggage tags - the pink one says "What my bag says about me" and leaves blank lines below it. Still trying to clean up the bottom tag enough to read.
-
It's an up-and-coming Canadian company. Alpha Omega is their first title. I really think they're legit. Ethan Haas, though a cool marketing scheme, has nothing to do with this. The photo comparison proves it for me. But, again, I have no explanation for why Paramount would be taking down the Ethan Haas videos on YouTube. Perhaps they own Mind Storm Games? I couldn't find any evidence of that.
-
i forgot to add that SLUSHO'S history states they found an ingredient that accidently made everything that drank enough of it larger or gigantic
-
I mean, it could be attached to a smaller movie, but that's unlikey.
The thing about the polar bear, you mean 'The Golden Compass', right? That one's gonna be huge, so I wouldn't exactly put it passed them. Who know? I know I certainly don't. -
Check that out. Listed on the www.ethanhaas.or g site that indexes both Ethan Haas and 1-18-08 sites. Click on the picture in the second blog post for a whole mess of web-wanderings that'll mess with your head.
-
It's not likely that Paramount own Mind Storm (I work for Viacom who owns Paramount). We already own a game company (well actually we just sold it but the point is the same).
-
no matter what happens im glad slusho is now a part of my life and forever will be as soon as i get myself a custom made slusho T-shirt....on the back well be the fish and the donkey oh so casually thinking about blue oven mitts and cheese
-
ehh it wouldn't be a smaller movie.. it would be skipped over way to much for paramount to attach it. Maybe Hot Rod though, even though its a comedy.. people are going to see it. And not 'The Golden Compass' it's 'Artic Tale'
-

Actually knowing how many people want more info on the movie it would actually make people want to go see crappy polar movies just to see the preview

Don't forget the amount of money 'Blair witch project' made .... and you never saw a ghost. Look, it's going to have a 'small' budget. I predict it won't top 50 million, ..look at those special fx. If it's fx heavy, they will be LOTR style, not the best, but effective in use.....hoping they explain the geography of the statue of liberty head landing where it does though.
-
Because the users who posted them on YouTube falsely linked them with 1-18-08. At least that seems like a reasonable explanation. There are lots of Ethan Haas videos on YouTube right now and nothing I clicked on came up as being removed by Paramount.
-
Isn't what they did for "Star Wars Ep. 1"? They put the trailer in front of a movie know one wanted to see ("Meet Joe Black" I believe) so they might do it again with this one.
-
then it will be like Contact the monster movie.... on a side note, in many of Lovecraft's stories you never see the "monster"
-
youtube was pretty much decimated by Viacom requesting removal of all their property... I haven't been following the 'removed ethan site' threads, so i don't know how documented they are, but anything related to viacom gets sucked up by a black hole on youtube.
-
I think this video does a good job of explaining what we know so far (except for SLUSHO). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYGuDIkio6U And if this is going to be a J.J. Abrams Power Rangers movie, I'm going to crap my pants, change them, then crap them again.
-
you dont see the monster
-
i thought meet joe black was a great movie....
-
I love when south park rips on Contact, the movie.... I think it was an amazing movie, but really think they screwed up that Jodie Foster's character 'arroway' is only person who goes. In the book there were five i think... they were able to compare stories of what happened on travel.
-
Yes, they are. Look above a couple lines for my post. And the lawsuit with Google/YouTube is long since dropped. As a matter of fact we have an agreement just like all the other major networks have and people can put Viacom owned stuff on there again.
-
I first brought up the slusho theory a few days ago as a joke but the more I look into it the more real it becomes... The Slusho t-shirt is the original clue... then the slusho.jp website that is under development... the PARASITE movie (a paramount production) is about a lab accident which makes things grow larger and attack cities. Slushos bizarre history claims the secret ingredient makes everyone who consumes it grow larger... Also before I even thought about it IMDB as well as other sites linked the parasite to cloverfield without any rhyme or reason... Also there is the parasite.com website however i feel thats just some idiot who thinks the haas website has to do with cloverfield (because of the timer to aug 1st) I really feel like this idea is a strong possibility and now i wonder could it be a good movie?
-
In the end this is just going to be a moderately budgeted B movie, about a giant monster(s).I'm pretty sure if J.J. doesn't deliver something to the people trying to figure this out, were going to be given another SOAP or GINO, but I hope I'm wrong.And, who the hell gets upset that this could be in anyway related to 9-11? If the monster ends up being a creation of Iran or the Taliban then be angry, but if it's just a freaking monster... What if this is an updated Beast From 20,000 Fathoms?
-
youcantdrinkjustsix.com is registered. Looked up the Whois information and it's registered to a paper-street.com. You go to paper-street.com and it's a website to sign up for mailers for their club nights. It was also registered on July 10th, so some schmuck is trying to capitalize on Abrams to get their damn door charge. Jerks.

EVERYONE SEE ARCTIC TALE on august 17th to see the next piece to the puzzle
-
I go to video hut in los angeles which has a decent collection of old crap. I think they had like 3 or 4 completely different movies titled 'Parasite'.. i rented one, with Demi Moore. Lol.. Parasite Eve rocks, Parasite movies suck.
-
Technically whenever you read a story, you never get to see any monster, but then I'm just being a smart ass. I get what you allude to, ala The Un-Nameable
-
slusho...slusho...slusho
-
On the frame between when the linght flickers and when it goes completely out, you'll see in the upper left a strange image. It sorta looks like an elephant, sorta looks like a donkey, sorta looks like there's a kid wearing a black shirt standing next to something white...I can't figure out what the hell it's supposed to be. A little help?
-
anybody else read or check out anything relating to this www.rachelblake.c om site? It's very interesting and could be related somehow.
-
The more I think about it, the more plausible it is that we'll never see the 'monster'. It's not like a bunch of studios are racing to put a bunch of money into 'godzilla' type flicks.
-
you so crazy!!!
-
Does anyone else notice that the statue's head hits a sign that read 401 Broadway? 401 is Rhode Islands area code and Their is a street by that name. Anyone?
-
It's two frames and you can tell by the fact that the "picture" changes from one frame to another that it's a TV. Looks like the newscast. Or at least the weather broadcast.
-
Can you screencap it and share the pic? I'd like to get a good look at it.
-
you an ass rachelblake.com def has nothing to do with anything were talkin about here so unless you have info about our J.J. abraham film or info on how to get a slusho shirt, shove off
-
some other possibilities, just for fun or to irk...
... line, it's huge. I mean, seriously, there must be a huge line to see whatever it is.
... lythe, it's huge. FYI: Lythe = "A marine gadoid food fish of Europe." Evidently, Gonu was a lythe before he drank the slusho, and our fellow in the street is well-versed in his ichtyology.
... lye, it's huge. Doesn't make too much grammatical sense, but maybe someone didn't get the white christmas he was hoping for and looking to get it himself.
... lie, it's huge. JJ is getting metaphorical on us and describing to us the way that lies can hurt us, that a lie can be an allegorical monster.
... allied, it's huge. Here's a mystery, allied with whom?
... lime, it's huge. It's 5 o'clock somewhere (or like 5:36). -

he says... omg its lime its huge!... hes referring to lime jello... jello is taking over the city

so now I have to go read Contact after your comment about 5 people making the trip; is Pale Blue Dot worth reading also?... These are books I have been meaning to read forever anyway.
-
what the hell are you talking about Arguendo

actually.... im pretty sure they say oh my god i saw it! its arguendo hes retarded!
-
... this whole debate had me thinking of the first quote in imdb there: http://tinyurl.com/2ab24t
Herc may enjoy it's inclusion here -
fuck off asshole. i just wiki'ed the site myself and it has a plethora of tie-ins to JJ Abrams material surrounding his universe, esp. "Lost." It could very well be pertinent and is clearly linked to through another site on the ethanhaas.org index of related sites. so sit down and shut the fuck up.
-
some one needs to calmn down i wasnt attacking your manly hood or anything.....however...
-
J.J. abraham also masterbated the other day that might have somthing to do with the movie too.....eh neverhead?
-
Snake Plissken is alive!! I thought he was dead...And he's huge!!

cool if it wasn't even NYC. Making the liberty head's appearance much more interesting. Just a thought..

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now 2 o' clock in my corner of the world and my bady demands rest. The mind is willing, bu the flesh is weak. Good night, my duckies!
Oh, and if you have time, please find me some TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION!!!
So saith the Prophet! -
The book was incredible as science fiction and also on an existential, 'what are we', level. Think of how cool the Jurassic Park book was compared to movie...same with Contact.
-
whatever... far be it for me to actually bring something that might be pertinent into the talkback. let's go back to discussing giant lions...

At first I thought it might be the TV, but that's seen when the lights come back on, next to the two gaming chairs, the Xbox 360 and the steering wheel controller. -
yea i wish the movie would take place in like a city that looked just like newyork and NY1 news reports are aired on television the streets are named broadway but isnt actually new york NOW THAT is a mind blower
-
i rather dicuss giant lions than rachel blake. any single thing in the whole trailer MIGHT be pertinent but is it? probably not
-
I saw that the other day but forgot to mention it. I tried all different username and password combinations but I couldn't get in.
-
Although the trailer is cool, it would've been awesome if www.ethanhaaswasright.com and other hidden websites were connected to the movie since it would be a terrific marketing effort. Plus, it will add to the mythology of the flick.
Anyway, let's just hope that JJ Abrams' project still kicks ass! -
Same guy in photo 2 that blocks yellow face girl is the same guy in front of rob as rob exits the building. Guy has wahat looks like two circles or 2 zeros or two letter O on shirt. Once they hit the street, guys leaves shot rather quickly.

Guys start investigating the fx companies working on this... start with the production company. Trying to figure this crap out as a puzzle will take forever. There are plenty of people willing to talk if actually asked... I spoke to someone last night who auditioned for it, and all i can confirm is they are being secretive and didn't give anything but 'sides' to the actors auditioning.... someone did mention 'cloverfield' but in this industry that could just be the code production name. I'm sure the cast is sworn and contracted to secrecy, but FX guys don't usually give a hell. Find the FX companies working on it, but don't call with dumbass fanboy questions, ...simulate like you actually know what you are talking about and find out wtf is going on.

my brother actually just mentioned the same thing that this may just exist in the same world, rob may be taking an oceanic flight to japan etc...

Notice how the pic is divided into 4 sections?
Now follow with me....
At the bottom of the first section there is a 20 and 08.
What does it mean?
This site may also have info
freshly-baked.com -
...and provide a "SLUSHO: You can't drink just six!" promotion to go along with the movie when January starts getting closer. Because I will then go there, and attempt to drink more than six Slusho drinks, and when I don't turninto a giant lion that destroys major US cities, I will be disappointed.
-
the odds are small. Why would the secret agent Eric Weiss be a pilot on that plane?
-
okay so a few things that i have noticed in the trailer.
(if you watch the high def trailer on apple you can go through the trailer a few frames at a time)
A) the sign "we will miss you is composed of all photos of people if you pause at 0:14 you can clearly see some of them
B) around 0:25 in the background there is what looks like a box with a dinosaur coming out of the ocean with Japanese writing on it.
C) 0:34 there is a sticker on the fridge that says "Exit 70? Mystery ST" there is also some red writing that i can't make out. oh and they are Manhattan phonebooks.
D)been said before but still the 63* on january 18th at 1232 am in Manhattan is kinda weird but then again so is an explosion caused by the head of the statue of liberty...maybe this was just a mistake...maybe not.
E) again old info but the dude is definatly wearing a slusho shirt at 0:52
F)There is some graffiti on the wall at 1:11 looks like it says crazy craie or crale. i dont know though
G) 1981(7)-2004 ACE on wall at 1:12
H) At 1:20 there is something glowing on the back of the dude in whites shirt and it glows the whole time he is on screen. there is one on his back and one above his right bum cheek. could be the shirt design but i dont get why it would be glowing...
I) at 1:31 the license plate says abz-3293
J) at 1:38 there is a sign that has dead d... spraypainted on it
-
I think Cloverfield is an anagram.
It spells a number of diabolically cryptic possibilities. -
has anyone tried to download the items on the slusho site yet?
-
yes, they are only images.nothing seems to be hidden
-
The 401 Broadway sign that gets hit at the end could lead to www.401broadway.com, an 'under-construction' site. Whois says the site is owned by Vision Entertainment Inc and a Lawrence Russo is the contact, there address is strangly enough 401 broadway. Interestingly Larry Russo is a short film producer and Vision Entertainment Group are apparently known for 2D/3D film work as well as games and web(www.wintervision.com), however, the latters address is not the same as the whois database info. This maybe a nod to the effects studio or some production co. The American Spirit Tower Project website is also copyright Vision Entertainment Inc (bottom left on home page). Would appear that the project is the brainchild of a Lawrence M Russo and his brothers. On the project page it says at the bottom 'Liberty will never die'obviously this is a comment re 9/11 but it is interesting that the statue of Liberty's head hits the sign (it could also mean that it is a smaller head and not the full size statue). May be a link here but I don't know and I don't think its appropriate to have a 9/11 ref if there is. I don't believe the Ethan Haas sites have anything to do with 1-18-08 and the info on Wikipedia is in the wiki labs section and is therefore not confirmed as acurate as yet. I would suggest the best source for clues will be the NY1 website that had a fake earthquake report yesterday, as this is the news channel playing in the teaser. I did have a good look down the Haas 'link' route and came up with a few things that I'm going to throw into the pot (as i could be wrong about it). The haas sites mention a group called the Mezin who were an ancient race living in the Ukrain (somebody said in an earlier post that they entered some co-ordinates from 1-18-08 that took them to an area in russia on Google earth)and there is a very odd website http://library.thinkquest.org/C006353/engl.html that has some info on the subject, on one of the pages there are a series of images of herbs (for no good reason that I can think of) that seem very close to the herbs growing in the kitchen area of the 1-08-18 apartment (although they are basic cooking ingredients so this is probably utter shit). If you google the word mezin then the 4th entry reads 'Mezin-Wolf Camp' (the music playing in the appartment is Wolf Mother)as I said i don't think the 2 are related but its interesting how things can be drawn together when people look too hard. On the Lion, Alive debate, the first time I heard it I thought it said Light, its a light, but it really is 'Alive'(sounds like it was looped though, so I think they have played around with it to deliberatly cause confusion).
Thats it
Thanks -
I have watched and watched looking for clues but to no avail - then I thought about an Audio clue turn your speakers up and listen to the first roar I swear i hear the sound of a womans voice say "Rob" at the start of the roar. Get listening and post what you guys think!!!!
-
I really think I'm on to something here. Hard to know what to make of it, but since JJ said we haven't uncovered much... I might as well put my findings up for further scrutiny.
At 0:35, under the photos and the ding dong thingy something was written on a large note. After looking at it for a while I decided for "your life has meaning". Yourlifehasmeaning.com seems to be a no-no, but a google search provided this link among others:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/58459731/
If you compare the "your life has meaning" printed at the bottom of that picture and that on the fridge, it's so freakishly similar that it would be uncanny if it was a coincidence. Look for example on the dot just to the upper left of the H in has! (You can click on the picture to zoom it a bit) It got put there on the 26th of June, so it's fairly fresh. Additionally, if you look on the imp that you get as a logo for the web-page, it looks a lot like the what people have sighted in photo's as well...
It's really gotta be something, right! Go explore... -
...websites that would appear to be connected to a movie we've only seen two minutes of? I would think the crazy fankids who'd want to do something like that would want to make sites for something they had any inkling about its subject matter. The movie doesn't suggest there's any mythology to it; they're either having trouble coming up with a title or they're holding out to tell us it's the new Godzilla movie. That's all I'm going to assume for now.
-
Have to come back... When going to *giulio72's main page he is getting a lot of traffic recently. Among the recent comments is a user named ~karcarah. If you click on his website link: http://www.karcarah.com/, you get to a page with the horned thing again... It also has the writing "sooner or later" The horned thing is very familiar to the little horned thing in the web page logo on the *giulio72 page I wrote about in the last post.
-
Promised myself not to get sucked into the hype machine but its too lat for me now. Cthulhu gets mentioned alot so I thought I'd google map R'lyeh. It does turn up on Google map in the south pacific and its been marked by a company called eldergods.net
Tried to go onto this website but does not appear to exsist, even though on the google map gives me address and phone number. Probably nothing at all but felt like I was missing out on the hysteria. -
then scroll down to "References in popular culture" section. It mention's R'lyeh and the Sleeping (Dreaming)Cthulhu. This ties into the history on the Slusho website i.e. dreaming, bottom of the sea. Also if you google map the coordinates of the fictional R'lyeh it seems to be in a place close to where the island in LOST is. Possible link? maybe
-
In the Artist's Comments on the "your life has meaning" page the comments reads as follows: ---------- "your life has meaning ..
isn't it?
("el dia de la ira "related)
view listening "Stolen" of the "Aereogramme", please" ----------. COuld these be anagrams or something else??? -
Read My Previous Post and listen to the ROAR on the trailer - please some one reply????
-
I think this translates "to the day of wrath" and is used quite frequently in the bible... Zephaniah 2:2, Romans 2:5
-
I saw no picture like that on the fridge. The only photos on the fridge are regualr photos of friends.
I think people are wayyyy over analizing this thing now. -
And if Cloverfield/Slusho/1-18-08/whatever the hell it's called was really that Dark Tower movie that was rumored a few weeks ago?
-
I have time to kill, wanted to add in to the hysteria, cuz its fun :)
As others have pointed out, Lovecraft placed his sunken island R'lyeh very near one of the geographical points of innaccessibility (furthest from land than any other place in the sea). The coordinates of this place are similar to the island in Lost. They are also similar to the location of a sound called "Bloop" that was detected in 97, and nobody knows what it is (it sounds like an animal, but too large to be anything we know). In Lovecraft's lore, the elder god Cthulhu sleeps in R'lyeh, and when he wakes up he will enslave humanity, yaddah yaddah.
So,.. what if Abrams's Lost universe is the same as the one in this movie? This movie is "Lost: The Movie", and the secret behind both the TV series and the movie, is that these marooned survivors somehow have woken up Cthulhu, and now he's doing what every mega monster is contractually supposed to do: attack manhattan.
Cool! -
... hey I think the guy says "lion"... rawr, get in the car. OK, 1) the name at slusho.jp is Ganu, not Gonu. 2) For those with a hard-on for TFD (I'm looking at you Deus) he was on that TB where Harry brought up Ethan Haas and Cthulhu. 3) I can't fucking believe people are not interested in the fact that the whois for slusho.jp gives an address in Tokyo not far from the Japanese Statue of Liberty!!! 4) and I hope none of you are dumb enough gonna buy them meteors at ebay...
-
I would suggest that these sites are there to create intrigue, to give the viewer a little more infomation regarding the final films plot and characters, it is a viral marketing strategy after all . The problem is that its difficult (to some degree) to differenciate between the legitimate sites and the ones set up by individuals who are jumping on the back of the campaign
for whatever reason they see fit.
It may also be that some of these sites are simple nods of thanks to people involved with the film (making it all the more difficult to unravel the infomation Abrams has left for us).
As for mythology, I would suggest that there would be some form of back story (as hinted at in the shlusho site)that acts in a very similar way to any mythology drawn from other fictional storylines. Its purpose being to strengthen whatever insidents occure in the final movie. -
What I'd love to see is if over the next sixish months, different countries get different previews. The US got NYC getting messed up. Maybe here in OZ, they'll have The Sydney opera house (probably the most recognisable) getting owned. Different countries get their own trailer. Now THAT would cause interest. Don't you think?

The fact that Winnie the Pooh day is January 18th reminded me of this old issue of Hellblazer - issue number 23 yet! (Illuminatus!) here is a link to a detailed synopsis - make sure you scroll down to see the image of cuddly ol' Pooh Bear dragging a lot soul to Hell... http://www.insanerantings.com/hell/comics/ongoing/hb23.html ...fill gaps of course... ... the story of that issue seemed to be that characters may come to life once the they become public domain... could Sonny Bono have delayed the apocalypse? ... another sinister Pooh connection is of course the death of Brian Jones on July 3 1969, at Cotchford Farm - The Legendary House at Pooh Corner...
-
Of the terrible flop "The Stuff".
Just read the "Slusho" site. It does make sense. -
Michael Bay destroying Manhattan with his awful Transformers movie! THAT'S why they played the trailer before Transformers :P
-
Did anyone play the movie clip on the NY1 Eartquake story, it dosen't work now.
-
Turn your Speakers UP!! Listen to the first roar I swear i hear the sound of a womans voice say "Rob" at the start of the roar. Get listening and post what you guys think!!!!

this is from an other guy, a compilation of clues.

(I don't have the patince to finish the puzzle - and this may not be connected at all...J.J. said it wasnt, but who knows...))

http://www.rense.com/ - Theories of it being about the Illuminati are surfacing as well...Found through research on the Cando event on 01/18 listed below...
www.35minutes.com - The difference between the two times on the photos on www.01-18-08.com
I am beginning to think a lot of these sites are just people fucking with dumbasses like myself trying to figure shit out...
http://www.slusho.jp/index.html - Seems dumb, but it was a fake working title for the film and:
a) Rob is going to JAPAN
b) The house is covered of Japanese theme
c) SLUSHO is a weird drink with a very creepy story
d) The photo at 1-18-08 has ROB drinking.
e) The friend who tell Rob to go to the roof has a SLUSHO T-Shirt.
f)I guess it was in 'Alias'(J.J. created the show) too...
At 1:12 in the trailer, there is something on the wall: ____ - 2004 ACE...It looks like 1987 - 2004 ACE...
2004-1987 = 17
1+8+08 = 17 - FLAWED
There are 17 cups of Slusho on the Slusho front page...
ABZ-3293 - 3+2+9+3=17...It's the license plate on the car at 1:35 in the trailer...(and a website listed earlier)...
In The Illuminatus! Trilogy, the symbol for Discordianism includes a pyramid with 17 steps because 17 has "virtually no interesting geometric, arithmetic, or mystical qualities". However, for the Illuminati, 17 is tied with the "23/17 phenomenon".
Numbers frequently mentioned on 'Lost'(J.J. is the creator): 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42...Add them up and you get 108. 1-08?
(God, I feel like Jim Carey in 'The Number 23'...Need to stop...)
Odd Events that happened on 01/18:
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.
2000 - The strange Tagish Lake meteorite impacted the Earth.
1916 - A 611 gram chondrite type meteorite struck a house near the village of Baxter in Stone County, Missouri.
Google search for 12:36(Biblical terms)...Here's what it says: "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak..." Matthew 12:36
And 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."
According to J.J., the Ethan Haas stuff has nothing to with the movie. But I think he is lying...(Even if it doesnt, I'm still gonna keep an eye on that site)...(And no, I don't have the patince to finish the fucking puzzle)...
EDIT: It HAS something to do with it: http://www.ethanhaas.org/ and http://escapetheroom.blogspot.com/2007/07/ethan-haas-was-right.html
Lizzy Caplan is in the movie...She is/was also in a show called 'The Class', in which Jason Ritter plays a character named ETHAN HAAS.
And I guess Paramount removed stuff from the Haas website the same day they removed the trailer from YouTube...
If it is not related, then there are some very odd coincidences...This almost proves its not: http://www.mindstormlabs.com/products.html
Supposedly, there are some clues in the trailer...
There are many theories...I fucking HOPE it's not Voltron...And I know it wont be. But, all the Ethan Haas stuff MAY BE about the 'Voltron' movie...I guess we'll find out...
People have mentioned Ragnarok...Thor...Odin...Loki...etc...Battle of the Gods...Æsir vs. Jötnar...
It's not about a "huge lion."
There are people saying its a remake of 'The Host'...I hope not though...Americans remake EVERY Japanese film...And it's getting old.
Then there is 'Lost', J.J.'s show that just so happens to be returning to TV the day before(01-17-08).
Another is that its based on Lovecrafts 'Old Ones'...And a movie about Cthulhu would be badass. -
for that mess
-
Then you all respond you big gayers!
-
PeakEvil is right! not only are the "Your life has meaning" freakishly similiar, they are identical. Just a few minutes in Photoshop proves it. Someone ask this guy where he got that image. Maybe he worked on the film. Check out this image for proof:
http://tinyurl.com/yw6z5s -
The whole reason Cthulhu was even mentioned as a possibility was because of the posts being left on the EthanWasWrong&Right websites. If 'Ethan' has nothing to do with this, than neither does Cthulhu in all probability (thought a creature from the sea is still likely, though just a mutated one). Of course, JJ could be allowing us, the audience, to determine the ultimate form of the monster (a la Ghostbusters) by seeing which one generates the most audience buzz. If Cthulhu be what we want, that may be what we get.
-
Alias and Lost already exist in the same universe. We know this because in Alias 4.3, Sydney Bristow had a party at her house and Driveshaft's "You All Everybody" was playing on the stereo. It'd be cool if 1.18.08 had a connection to the Lost universe in particular, but you'd expect to see Lindelhof and Cuse heavily involved were that the case.

http://bordom.net/view/15242/i_bring_the_death_and_destruction rawr, indeed...
-
I think you "Alive" folks are missing something and the "Lion" crowd is wishfully thinking. I have watched the trailer a few times and the guy clearly says, "Its alive 'n its huge!" adding the 'n after alive makes it sound like "Lion"
-
Here it is:
http://tinyurl.com/2cehqj
It's from a sidewalk in Austin, Texas. -
To the 'Lion' team
1. I'd love to see the elevator pitch "A giant supernatural lion fucks up New York...for ONLY $30 million"
2. You'd seriously go an see a movie about that. -
I told you, my first posts get ignored that im onto something - mention the LION word and all you so called movie geeks sat there with your abacus's trying to decipher dates into codes instantly start replying!!!
-
Hope this one won't appear duplicated as I posted it twice :(
Anyway , some guy seems to have found IP relationships between ethanhaaswasright.com and badrobot.com...
See below :
blog.myspace.com/godgravity -
I've documented "Your life has meaning" on my homepage. http://hem.bredband.net/b233085/
-
So I posted a link to ethanhaaswasright in a forum. The forum auto named the link and it named it this:
JJ Abrams new movie 1-18-08 code named "Cloverfield"
Is JJ still denying this. Either it is his or a fan made site that is too too well done -
So, Deon Ares, it seems this has existed for a long time then? I really thought I was on to something??? Is it just a coincidence that "Your life has meaning" is on that fridge???
-
I thought it was something too until I found that source. My guess is that a set dresser liked the image and thought it would be something hipsters in NY would have on their refrigerator. Same with giulio72, he probably reads that blog. If only I could put my sleuthing skills to use for the good of all humanity.
-
look at my above mail... the guy at blog.myspace.com/godgravity may have found clues about your question ... basically he found that ethanhaaswasright.com was registered to tritonenterprises.net which when you ping it is on the same IP range then badrobot.com ... interesting !
-
What exactly is illustrated by seeing two websites on the same IP range? Does that mean they originate from the same source?
-
Heck, I even spent half a working day on looking all this up, and then creating a web page. It would be nice if at least you (that also started to photoshop the stuff, after I had found it) took a look at it :)
http://hem.bredband.net/b233085/
Wasn't it a nice page, with a believable story...
I really thought I had cracked the 1-18-08 stuff :) -
... the actual smallest species of whale is the Dwarf Sperm Whale - Kogia Simus (or Sima) first decribed in 1866 by a man named Owen. Thus, it is sometimes called Owen's Dwarf Sperm Whale...
-
If ethan haas is not related, why is at the http://www.ethanhaas.org links to slusho and ABZ3293 (the plate of the suv from the trailer)?
-
ok, i get it. after the first time:-)
-
I think it sounds like lion...but it could very well be alive too. hard to tell. but what if the guy only took about half a second to see that it RESEMBLED a lion, but that it's actually got huge wings, shoots fireballs out its mouth and has lasers coming out of its eyes.
In the middle of downtown. I'd totally watch that.
And darth hidious, I'd check it out, 'cept I don't have the capability at the moment... -
IT WAS WHAT WE ALL WERE EXPECTING FROM F4-RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER.

THE COMING OF GALACTUS! -
Not sure if you guys have seen this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=im7wWMVzIyg - but if you happen to be on this talkback, dude, no offense, but you are really, really stretching. And for what? An easter egg, and that's about it. I'm pretty sure that's all these are. Easter eggs for our amusement...
-
Nobody has mentioned this yet(I think)but this film is starting to sound like a live action Akira mixed in with The Stuff.I wouldnt be surprise if Abrams was a fan of the manga/anime.The creature might be some sort of giant amoeba.It sounds like you start to mutate after drinking too much Slusho.That would explain all the Its Alive talk.A giant glob would cause that reaction.Akira also had religious cults and that whole end of the world vibe to it.TETSUO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
...but I know it's not.
-
This could just mean that the websites are hosted by the same hosting company, although that could be odd in itself. I don't know how these things work.
If there is a link then:
Where in Russia did the co-ordinates lead? Was it the Ukraine?
Was it the Wolf Camp site of the Mezin? -
First time poster, but have been following this thread from the start.
Has anyone taken a close look at some strange and misspelled wording on the Slusho site? Mostly these parts:
"She did not join when the other children OPENED THEIR FUN..."
"...other ingredients naturally grown FORM her father's..."
I understand that this site is mimicking a poor English translation, but these really stick out as odd. Wondering if there's something there?
-
"I have also thought about the dual trailer theory. however the guy to run that question by is GenJackCosmo. I suspect with all sincerity he's in the know on this one and can tell us for sure.
so with that said General what do you think?"--Sorry but I haven't been on the board since you asked. Honestly, I don't have any kind of inside track on anything. I HAVE been trying for the life of me to find the link on IMDB for that audio file I've been talking about, but now I can't find it in those ridiculous threads (take a look over there if you think there are "a lot" of people discussing this here...). I know other people have discussed these audio files, too...can anybody post a quick link so everyone can take a listen?
-
isnt mabus one of the people nostradamus phrophesized about?
-
3 land animals (horse and 2 kids) are breating underwater (snorkels don't work under water). The fish swim outside of the "water" or blue area, but everything else stays inside the "water". The horse only swims across once, never to return. There are 8 animals, including people. There are 8 stems of seaweed.
-
There is a friggin' horse breathing underneath the water on the Slusho history site, does no one find this odd? The kids are wearing masks but the horse is just snorting way. Probably nothing.
-
between this trailer and slusho again?
all the speculations made me forget. or maybe i just chose to. -
It's a giant, nuclear-radiated KIMBA THE WHITE LION coming back to kill Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg for stealing his story to make The Lion King! I mean, look at the clues:
1) Kimba was from Japan
2) The guy was GOING to Japan
3) The SLUSHO stuff is from Japan
4) Cthulhu is NOT from Japan
5) Even though Eisner and Katzenberg are not in New York, I'm pretty sure that Kimba would attack there first, just because it's New York, and ALL giant nuclear-radiated things attack New York.
6) A KIMBA movie would be perfect to counteract the SPEED RACER movie coming out in '08
7) Speed Racer is also from Japan
So there you go.
Everything has been figured out for you now.
Grab a beer and relax.
-
17' high x 10'wide.
-
I did mention the horse breathing underwater, 2 posts above your's. Along with the fact that the kids are breathing underwater too. Snorkels do not work underwater.
-
is it becuse water is often portrayed as blue? The Sea is a major motif in J-horror... much of this feels like J-horror... consider Uzumaki or even Ringu... in the original Ringu films Sadako was said to have possibly been fathered by a sea demon. Cthulhu?
-
If the blue mitt and cheese in the thought bubbles turn out to be red herrings, I'll go postal. I'm wondering if the blue mitt is not an oven mitt per se, but perhaps a glove for handling something very cold, like say, dry ice, or maybe some Slusho in its "near frozen state".
-
So far the fridge has led us to New Orleans and Austin, TX. Man, this guy gets around. There's probably something to it, but I don't know yet what it could be pointing towards.
And for everyone who keeps bringing up ethan haas - it's STILL completely unrelated. Official Cloverfield sites are being tracked by Google Urchin, ID# UA-2172327-1. It appears on Slusho and on 1-18-08.com. Ethan haas sites do not have this tracker anywhere in their pages. Please stop relating ethan haas websites to this. It's a waste of resources at this point. -
Has anyone tried adding satoshi to some messaging service, I thought of finding hidden messages with the Slusho wallpapers, but havent tried hard enough.
I also googled all the names in the history section, but was unsuccesful
-
Nice call.
-
Yeah, I noticed that...I was just thinking out loud, but then ended up typing into a post. I figure why go half way. Ha!
-
You guys are nerds. Who gives a shit? Even if they are 'clues' do you think they would actually give away anything related to the plot? They wouldn't. For that, just wait until September for the trailer, then you can wait until January to see the movie in full. What's all the speculation and Sherlocking all about? It's stupid and all of these ridiculous assumptions will be quashed in just 6 months, so keep your panties on and find something better to do with your time--like, say, role playing. Or whatever it is geeks do.
-
Check out the comment to this lady's Myspace page (http://tinyurl.com/2asncf) from Greg Baxter on June 15, 2007. Maybe someone working on the movie?
-
I don't think it's odd the horse breathes underwater. It's a sea horse. *Rimshot* And they updated the site late last night with a hot air balloon with a duck in it on the downloads page, and now the kids holding kites move...strangely. We might want to look into it
-
Listened to it again, and much as I'd love a big ol' Cthulu flick, she says "Quiet, he's coming". Meaning Rob.
Oh, and the girl that says "Rob's great, I'm gonna miss him"? I'd totally do her. -
reading over my shoulder right now. Yep. Simultaneous lovin'.
-
I may be grasping here but the background of the SLUSHO home page, the shadows of the bubbles, the green hills and the purple mountains behind it sorta remind me of a cartoon dragon.
-
They are all over the place in LOST, so why not with this too. The one kid on Slusho.com says "FRESH FOR YOU"
Which can be switched around to:
HORSE OF FURY
SHORE OF FURY -
If you go to 1-18-08.com it takes you to the website with the 2 photos.... once you've found the hidden numbers on each photo you get 29879 .... now go to 29879.com you see a drawing of a man phoenix...... bottom left there's a link where you can click the link to go to another page. it takes you to the Girls of '77 page. That is as far as I have been able to get.

Greg Baxter's Myspace page says it's "his" trailer before Transformers. The clincher: his last login is July 3rd.

...There is a Statue of Liberty in Japan built to celebrate the French. ... the real Noriko Yoshida is a scholar of French Literature at Kobe University... There is a Statue of Liberty in Paris... on a small island in the Seine... the French gave America the Statue... but it was originally going to be a Statue of Commerce to be bulit in Egypt... to commemorate the Suez Canal... the Egyptians rejected it. Aleister Crowley once staged a mock attempt to blow up the Statue... when he was either a double-agent for the British or an actual traitor working for the Germans in New York during WWI... Crowley also claimed to be connected with the Egyptian Freemasons founded by Cagliostro, as well as the Illuminati... ...Crowley's "Magikal Son" (moonchild) the American rocket scientist Jack Parsons once carried out a ritual designed by Crowley in the California desert with L. Ron Hubbard (!) called the "Bablyon Working" and is said (by some) to have summoned "something" into our reality... Babylon is a name for the City personified as a woman that is destroyed in the book of Revelation... the verse that is often quoted in this very TB, Revelation Chapter 18 verse 8 refers directly to this... Albert Pike, actual Freemason and supposed Illuminatus is connected to the 1-18-08.com website... a pike is of course, a fish... a particularly savage predator fish that is also cannibalistic...

"Michael Bay destroying Manhattan with his awful Transformers movie!"
It wasn't Manhattan, you FUCKTARD. Did you even see the goddamn movie? -
PeakEvil, I did see your website and I liked it. I wouldn't give up hope just yet. What's this about an Austin and the Mystery St. connection? Guess where that graffito of "your life has meaning" is from? That's right, Austin TX! Also Gregg Baxter did the visual effects for the trailer. Check out his myspace page. http://tinyurl.com/29nsl7 Let's see if we can get any info out of him!
-
The graffiti reads ACE 2004. I searched ACE 2004 on google and it game me this link.
http://latinaceawards.org/index-04.html
Which has a new york adress with the 401 number on it.
I bet its almost coincidence.. but you never know
-
Well look at that I can still post. Thank the Dark Gods of the Ethereal World of Darkness. Oh, and Wonka, I think I found a clue... check out www.poundsandupyourass.com....jerk.
-
I went to go see Transformers last night and in the trailer for CLoverfield they showed he clearly says "It's a lion", but on the online trailer he says "It's alive". I have watched the theatrical trailer twice and I am 100% positive that is what he says... The more I think about it the more I honestly believe that this is a Rampage movie...
-
...do you know where chrth posts lately? I bet he could figure this shit out... if he cared to.
-
Just stop....

from http://tinyurl.com/2o5onc
"The caged duck looked down as terra firma slowly drifted away. Above the duck, a balloon, constructed of paper and fabric, provided the lift necessary to carry aloft the duck and its companions, a sheep and a rooster. Never before had a human, let alone a duck, flown in a balloon. The year was 1783, a milestone year for aviation—the dream of flying had finally been realized."
So a duck was one of the first living things to fly in a hot-air balloon...the relevance of this is absent to me... -

Running on a 64 IP address is way off of the mark as far as the original one.
But who's this Triton Enterprises listed as running the Ethan Haas website?
Let's look at Triton instead...

AH-HA! DOMAINSBYPROXY! These guys allow anyone to SECRETLY register a domain name so that another cannot reference back to the original registrar under any circumstances. Even by law, these is subject.
But there's another trick to be tried:
tritonenterprises.net =

OK.. so Triton's running on the 208(plus subnets).. gotcha
Bad Robot (listed as the production company openly during the trailer's credits):

GOTCHA!
So.. let's do a quick recap...
BadRobot = 208.109.78.* = Tritonenterprises.net
Tritonenterprises.net (runs/in charge of) EthanHaasWasRight.com
therefore.. in some way or another
EthanHaasWasRight MUST be somehow related to BadRobot (producing Cloverfield/1-18-08) since both sites are directly ran by TritonEnterprises.net (or on the exact same IP subnet series) -
That page was created today. Not sure if it has anything to do with the movie or not?

... as Kayberry pointed out, move now... they look like they've been hung by the neck... and are swinging back and forth...

Sexy tits, try em!

For those of you that can rock the anagram, and you are of a mind that "The Parasite" website is somewhat legit...look at the main page and look at the title "THE PARASITE"; there are gaps in the phrase, and it actually is written out with obvious gaps. If you look at it reads "THEP ARASI TE". Any guesses as to why? And I'm definitely not sold on this page being legit...
-
... as I pointed out before Statue of Liberty is French in origin... and there is one in Paris... more to follow...

I've been dealing with this for 3 days now and I offically give up I don't think there is anything else here other than what has alreadly been discussed, we need new peices, and for the love of god please stop discussing the Lion issue, its not an F'n Lion.
Thanks alot JJ I'm sure you're sitting back laughing as we struggle with these riddles and puzzles with our stupid, stupid minds. Yours is a superior intellect - jerkass. -

Running on a 64 IP address is way off of the mark as far as the original one.
But who's this Triton Enterprises listed as running the Ethan Haas website?
Let's look at Triton instead...

So.. let's do a quick recap...
BadRobot = 208.109.78.* = Tritonenterprises.net
Tritonenterprises.net (runs/in charge of) EthanHaasWasRight.com
therefore.. in some way or another
EthanHaasWasRight MUST be somehow related to BadRobot (producing Cloverfield/1-18-08) since both sites are directly ran by TritonEnterprises.net (or on the exact same IP subnet series) -
"It's a Rampage movie!", "It's a Voltron movie!", "It's a Power Rangers movie!".....ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.....but keep trying!
-
BadRobot.com and ethanhaaswasright.com have the same damn IP Address if your going to play the game JJ play fair or just don't say anything...
IP Address relation between
ethanhaaswasright.com site and

Regarding all these websites ( 1-18-08.com, ethanhaaswasright.com, etc) that seem to be related (although Abrams' "letters" refute the ethan sites), I have some "g33ksp34k" to relay...

YOU will see this movie....
YOU will overhype it...
IT wlll suck or they would be confident the film would not need this manipulative push to get a big first weekend...
REMEMBER.....Blair Witch??? -
Any engineering geeks calculate the weight of Lady Liberty's head and how much force would be required to throw it 50 or so city blocks? Assuming it was thrown and not shot out or hit, it'd probably require relatively long arms so that rules out Godzilla :) And who here is happy that the names Emmerich and Devlin aren't associated with this?
-
for a potential big hit? Is the release date really that important to the movie?
-
...one on the Ile des Cygnes (Island of Swans) in the Seine... and the other in the Jardin du Luxembourg... ...also a Liberty hand and torch sits directly over Alma Tunnel where Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed where killed ten years ago...
-
All you've done is proven that they're likely on the same rack server. Paramount probably holds the rights to both ethan haas and cloverfield (since they can take material off of youtube from both) and therefore used the same webhosting service for both interests.
-
Is that pretty irrefutable, or are there any reasons why your research could be interpreted differently? Just want to cover all the bases.
-
IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH!
-
none of you can claim ABSOLUTELY that guy didn't say lion. I hate to be coming back to this, but it's stupid to just throw it out the window when the only "real" evidence of that guy saying "it's alive" is from wikipedia, which anybody can edit.
but i agree. another piece now, please. -
and that'll be my last lion comment. so you won't have to quit refuting it.
-
eh. you know what i meant.
-
According to the Hollywood Reporter this film is being made Blair Witch style for around 30 million. http://tinyurl.com/3dwmh3
Which leads me to believe its going to be a viral video looking monster survival film. And we know how Abrams likes to treat his monsters. I doubt you get to really see much of it, especially on that budget.
As for that Ethan Haas stuff... someone mentioned a video game called Alpha Omega by Mindstorm Labs. If you check their site this game is about to go into Beta testing. http://www.mindstormlabs.com/index.html
I had some friends solve all the puzzles in the morning, and they got to enter their info for the Aug 1st update (which I believe will be a code to join the Beta launch of this massive MMO RPG), and 2 completely different friends solved the puzzles later in the day and were not able to enter any info (because I think Mindstorm has met their quota for testers).
My theory is someone linked to Abrams "Cloverfield" project to ride the coat tails. And the Abrams project takes place in New York. The illustration behind the home page of EthanHaaswasright in clearly not New York city.
The 2 things are obviously not connected. The quality of the Ethan stuff does not fit with the quality of the Abrams project.
At any rate I think we're gonna see a cool Blair Witch-style monster film, and a smart video game launch out of all this. -
Someone mentioned reverse finding that Sled riding site through a few gifs. I know it seems kind of obvious, but its also run by Steve King--same guy who runs tossinggames and said to "check back on August 1st." It seems he has a whole bunch of these boring ass sites, and I'll bet their interconnected with this.

-
There have been electronic voice analyses done - they are posted on YouTube. CLEARLY ALIVE. Yes, let's move on.
-
Have more posts about alive vs a lion and the size of the head on the statue of Liberty. Cause I'm really, really, really, really interested.
-
Hey, has anyone checked to see if there are any Las Vegas odds on if this movie will actually be released on 01-18-08? I'm not a gambling man but I'd love to see someone else waste their money. C'mon 6...Daddy needs some new tentacles!
-
...in addition to Greg Baxter who mentions "his trailer" before Transformers and mentioned working on Slusho in a comment dated June 15, there is also a friend named Liz who uses the Statue of Liberty as her myspace picture!
-
Actually Alpha Omega is a table top game (think dungeon and dragons) and it's "premier" isn't until a big rpg convention around the 16th of august. I thought the same thing as you until I dug around and found out what it was all about.
However as for the ethan site connected to it, I don't see anywhere in there that mentions ethan what so ever, so I'm not sure how folks came to the conclusion the two are connected. (shrug) now back to watching the trailer for the billionth time,hehe. -
What is suppose to happen on August 1st? What are we looking for that is connected to this movie cuz I heard about something happening on August 1st thats related to this movie but what is it????
-
haha,maybe it IS a mmo, hmmm,but they're unveiling not at e3 but some table convention (head spin) oy vey! lol
-
http://tinyurl.com/zqhgu
Thanks Wikipedia! I never did find out who killed Evan Chan... -
There is a sticker in the trailer that says "Exit to Mystery St." very similiar to a sign from the 2007 New Orleans Jazz Festival. Mystery Street is also a film noire movie from the 1950's directed by none other than John Sturges who directed "Magnificent Seven", the American remake of the Kurosawa classic "Seven Samurai". Ironically enough, according to IMDB trivia, "the simultaneous production of this film and Gojira (1954) nearly forced Tôhô Kabushiki Kaisha into bankruptcy."
Not saying this is Godzilla or anything but it was just funny... -
yeah, these folks solved it, there was an artical about it in gameinformer:
http://www.cloudmakers. org/
hmmm,wonder if they're on this case. -
=( freakin typos
-
... dated June 17 "miss ya back!!! ya, dawn is with ya, sorry i couldn't do it! but we will see each other agin soon i hope :-)" ...this is in response to Greg's comment to her on June 15 "Hey! I think I saw your roomate in my production office yesterday - is she working on "Slusho"? I'm outta here today though - off to Fox. Miss ya!" ...This would mean that not only is Greg Baxter working on the visual effects of this film... but that "Anneke Skywalker's" roomate, Dawn is also working on it n some capacity... The second friend listed on Anneke's myspace page is Dawn... she lists her occupation as a Production Assisstant.
-
Think about it he throws the head almost right at him. Maybe he the monster carried the head all that way only to throw it at him.
Where's Jason? Where's Jeff? Those lines are obviously scripted and might be clues!
When they look outside the window, Rob looks very preocupied! Then the guy with the Slusho shirt tells him to go outside and later tells him he should have leaved earlier. But the tone he in which he says it, it just doesnt correspond! Same goes with the guy talking at the end "Tonights is going to be the best night ever", he looks a little suspicious.
What if all this stuff is a conspiracy to kill someone. Clearly the movie is about Rob. The acting choices and the decision to go handheld tells me that.
Wouldnt it be glorious, a movie about a monster that starts destroying a city with the sole reason to kill one person!
-
ahhh... good find. Honestly if I had any projects coming out soon I'd try to find a way to throw it into the madness. It's very smart. Fucking confusing, but smart. The thing that threw me way off is the Ethan Haas myspace site that has the encryption "Cthulu waits" on it. But I think we all know how smart you have to be to post a myspace account. So we're looking at a game, and a separate Blair Witch meets giant monster type movie then?
-
Yeah, it's completely possible, I think it's the simlilarties between all those that's kinda throwing people off (thinking such and such is linked, etc,etc). But either way at the end of the day, if it IS a sweet ass post apoc' game
AND a monster movie, heh, no complaint here! -
Agreed! It could be a super fun movie. The game will need to show more of itself soon though before it can be determined to live up to the hype it's creating. I'm in the industry and I think it's really cool marketing, if it does turn out to be a game that is.
... and it's sites like this that are fueling the confusion. If you look to the right of all the comments It lists the Ethan trailers as part of the "cloverfield" movie. http://www.movieweb.com/video/V07G39drxzDLUW -
Right I have had enough.
They probably only ever set up Slusho.jp knowing that every asshole on the fucking planet would regester a web site or blog to get in on the action. The only thing any of this does is keep the ball rolling for there film, keeps the interest they want in the movie, look at Lost its just one shit mystery after another with no real answeres, same as this crap. -
...Greg was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After college, he started his film career at the visual effects powerhouse Industrial Light & Magic. After a few years there he moved on to coordinate visual effects for projects at Manex VFX, Dreamworks' C.A.F.E. division and, finally, CentropolisFX which relocated him to Los Angeles. It was in LA that Greg met and fell in love with his future wife on the set of "The Rundown" in 2003. Greg Baxter and Natalie Solis were married in Napa, CA in May 21, 2005. The Baxters are currently living in Los Angeles where Greg produces VFX for feature films and Natalie produces reality TV programs. Greg provided this bio himself... CentropolisFX has closed... but looking at Greg's screen credits he most recently worked on Epic Movie and Firehouse Dog... both films visual effects work were done by a company called Handmade Digital... ...is this the effects company working on this film? their website www.handmadedigital.com
-
It is the same as the Quicktime one. The guy doesn't "Lion", he say's, as stated by many, "Its alive N (and) its huge".I've been trying to figure out some deeper meanings to the trailer and can't come up with shite, so maybe spending ten minutes trying to figure this out is futile, after all we will eventually know what this movie is about.The only thing I can't fully makeout is what the girl says after the guy says after the first roar when he says "What's that noise?", it sounds like either "I don't think I can handle it (or him)" or "I think I found a candle".... Either way, I'm sure it doesn't mean anything.
-
it was a cameron crowe moving because then we'd know the meaning in the trailer would be in the music...oh well...

who works on the film. It's not a clue. She works in the film industry and so does he.
-
No answeres, just one shitty clue after another, one shit mystery after another, it says it on the fridge, exit (the building probably) to mystery street, where is it?, whats happening?, its not NY cos the architecture is wrong!!!! Who gives a fuck. What does anybody hope to gain from this rediculouse search 'other than its fun to do' there isn't going to be a clear answere to any questions, there isn't a secret site with the script and pictures of the monster, as normal he will give as little away as possible. And when the film finally comes out it will be shit like all the others
-
did you ping him to check he was real
-
... he is listed as working on John Simpson's film, Amusement - the visual fx company there is Cinema Production Services. Their website: www.cpsfx.com they have an interesting demo reel However, IMDb has two companies listed as doing visual fx for the Untitled JJ Abrams Project: Industrial Light and Magic, and Tippett Studios - is Greg working there? He may be freelance. their websites are www.ilm.com and www.tippett.com none of these visual fx companies are listing this film as one of their current projects on any of they're websites...

... I'm not saying it's a clue planted by BadRobot to tantalise us... I'm saying that Greg Baxter and this woman Dawn are real people working on this project... and thus are a source of information... granted, they are going to be under some constraint to not say anything... but having the myspace pages of to people who are working on the film... it is possible that they may have let something slip out in chatting with their friends... It was his casually mentioning Slusho back in June that clued us in to Greg in the first place...
-
when you click on it it says 'your a fucking twat' I put it through my anagram solving software and it came up with the word JJAbrams, thats weird cos 'your a fucking twat' hasn't got any J's in it. What could it mean?

The Lion-loonies start chanting lion like the Spam Vikings from Monty Python. Personally I would like a movie without so much lion in it.

On the 1-18-08 site, if you turn the pic of the party upside down, the "WE'LL" part of the banner is basically "11,311." Google it and you get all kinds of junk, but one site was interesting...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/escan.fcgi?db=Gene&dopt=full_report&field=Name&noIQ=true&uid=11311
Summary
Vesicle mediated protein sorting plays an important role in segregation of intracellular molecules into distinct organelles. Genetic studies in yeast have identified more than 40 vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) genes involved in vesicle transport to vacuoles. This gene is a member of the Sec1 domain family, and shows a high degree of sequence similarity to mouse, rat and yeast Vps45. The exact function of this gene is not known, but its high expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells suggests a role in trafficking proteins, including inflammatory mediators.
Again, I'm sure it's nothing. www.11311.com is just a shopping site, although there is an interesting barcode randomly centered on the main page.
I feel like I'm REALLY stretching here, but what the hell, it's better than the Voltron or Lion theories. -
"The only thing I can't fully makeout is what the girl says after the guy says after the first roar when he says "What's that noise?", it sounds like either "I don't think I can handle it (or him)" or "I think I found a candle".... Either way, I'm sure it doesn't mean anything."
She says "It sounded like an animal." I don't know how you got that other stuff out of it.
When you're trying to make out the sounds in the trailer, make sure your sound system isn't crap. At first I tried listening to it on my laptop which has some distortion, but after using my desktop the guy clearly says "alive" and the chick says it sounds like an animal.
Oh, and Rob being "in" on it could just be a case of bad acting. -
good luck with that, i'm off to bed
-
JJ/Harry - It should be abundantly clear that we're all obviously too stupid to figure out any of this crap on our own we need more help. So either throw us a fricken bone here or put us ut of our misery.

All it takes is for a plant from the marketing company to come on the talkbacks dropping crumbs and everybody thinks they're participating. The only reason there hasn't been a development here is because they don't want there to be one yet. When they do, they'll post a new "discovery" under an alias. Suggest everybody gives up and goes to bed.
-
Will you please get in touch with JJ Abrams and get a statement from him so that we can put to rest this "lion" bullshit once and for all? I mean, the trailer is out there on the web, so I don't think he's have a problem confirming a line of dialogue that is in no way "hidden". I mean, sweet fucking Christ, ten minutes on YouTube and you can probably find one of the goddamn audio files where the word "ALIVE" is as plain as fucking day...but now people are convinced there are two trailers!?! WTF?! Jesus...there aren't two trailers. He doesn't say "lion"...this retarded bullshit is sucking all the fucking fun right out of this...please, for the love of God, I am begging you, Harry--GET JJ ABRAMS TO CONFIRM THAT THE FUCKING GUY IN THE FUCKING TRAILER SAYS "IT'S ALIVE".

I know its been referenced before, but there is a paddle on the wall with the letters AKM....now, this was refered to as the Alpha Kappa Mu society, however, just to toss in my two cents, it could also stand for Arkham (come on, praying for Mighty Cthulu, or at least one of the other Old Ones.), however, since Abrams LOVES number games, this could also stand for 11113. Now, when searched one site indicates that its a flybase stock record, for a Gene Distruption project? http://flybase.org/reports/FBst0011113.html
Being a "parasite" is this maybe a connection?
Also, in regards to numbers, j_filmguy referenced 11311. may these be connected, in regards to the banner?
just some random thoughts from your friendly neighborhood talkback lurker.

I love your sarcasm and double post. Hilarious! Continue to post more hilarity.

You cant drink just six = Toxic Junkyard Units

I think the discussion of anagrams, numerology, photoshopped imagery, etc., is probably overkill at this point. The "Slusho!" history, the trailer, the alternative name, "The Parasite," and the Cthulhu mythos give all the information you could want; just connect the similar elements:
The first section of Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu" features a protagonist who suffers from fevered dreams of images of gargantuan cities, "all dripping with green ooze and sinister with latent horror," and the names/words "Cthulhu and R'lyeh." In a state of delirium, he sculpts a statue of "a human caricature....[in which a] pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings." As the incidence and intensity of his dreams reach their apex, outbreaks of mental illness "group folly or mania" occur throughout the world.
In the story's second section, a New Orleans police inspector encounters a devil-worshiping cult of roughly 100 men which is discovered sacrificing a group of kidnaped women and children to an idol described as "vaguely anthropoid...but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind." Upon questioning the mob, the inspector is told that the idol represents one of the "Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky." These "old ones" now reside "inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men, who formed a cult which had never died...hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway. Some day he would call, when the stars were ready, and the secret cult would always be waiting to liberate him." The inspector consults with academic experts and learns that a similar "cult" with a similar idol had also existed in Greenland.
The third part of Lovecraft's story concerns the discovery of yet another group of cultmembers which possesses yet another sculpted representation of Cthulhu, described as having a "cuttlefish head, dragon body, scaly wings, and hieroglyphed pedestal." A mysterious manuscript recounts the first person story of a sailor who, with his fellows, discovers an uncharted island described as "a coast-line of mingled mud, ooze, and weedy Cyclopean masonry which can be nothing less the tangible substance of earth's supreme terror — the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh." The structures of this city are "abnormal, non-Euclidian, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours." During the exploration of the island, the sailors come upon a "monstrously carven portal" from which they release a lumbering, "slobbering" monster of "gelatinous green immensity" which is"ravening for delight." The manuscript author deems the monster indescribable - the "the green, sticky spawn of the stars." The creature's size is immense, as its movement is described as "A mountain walked or stumbled." The sole survivor of the experience, the author concludes that "Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep" and "the cult still lives."If you're going to make a monster movie, why not go with something entirely iconic?
The Slusho! site tells the story of an insatiable young girl/woman with prodigious appetites who is "never satisfied." (She is described as "the smallest whale" due to her propensity to consume vast quantities of drink...) While searching for the "greatest, tastiest ingredient" in the world, she "disappears". Later, in a twist of fate, her son, a marine scientist, discovers a mysterious substance on the bottom of the sea, and, while pondering the use of the material, has a dream in which he is a “tiny fish” who meets with “a whale” (obviously his mother) who instructs him to drink the substance. In his dream, he goes on to drink “lots and lots” of the ingredient until he too “grows into an enormous whale.” (i.e., turns into a gigantic something with an insatiable thirst for... something.) On waking, the son determines that he will “make his mother’s dream live” by making using the "magical ingredient" to create “the tastiest drink” on earth - Slusho! In order to manufacture Slusho! in a “fresh” state, the material is removed from the very deep, very cold, highly pressurized ocean floor in its “near-frozen state.”
“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!”
So, in Slusho!, we have a mysterious substance lying deep beneath the sea being overseen by a creature which "waits and dreams in the deep." The creature urges ingestion of the substance, which, once consumed, leads to addictive, excessive use and a shared cult-like experience (i.e., "taste the dream"). Through Slusho!, the creature's dream is brought to life.
In Cthulhu, we have a dreaming monster at the bottom of the sea, and a cult of follower's feverishly devoted to its awakening. The creature is enormous as a mountain (and so likely to prompt a disbelieving cry of "It's alive!"), and bent on destruction.
The original title, "The Parasite," supports the proposition that the "magical ingredient" in Slusho! is some type of parasitic substance. As per the website, Slusho! impliedly promises both mental and physical change, an insatiable appetite (for...?), and connection of the user to others via a "shared dream." On the Slusho! feedback page, the site reads, "Slusho! happy, are you HAPPY? Tell Slusho! RIGHT NOW." Most drinks are not sentient, but apparently Slusho! is... Similarly, Sluhso! expects that you will obey it's commands, including the directive that "You will come back soon!"
I don't believe the trailer by itself was ever intended to be dissected via spectrograph, cross-referenced to web references to Asian academics, or subjected to scrutiny by folks with access to DMV records; accordingly, I don't read more into it than exists on its face. Apart from an inside joke by a PA or set dresser here and there, everything seen in the trailer - the decor at the party, any writing on the wall or elsewhere, street signs, license plates, etc. - seems no more significant than it would have been in any episode "The Class." BTW - no one is flying; the shots in the stairway are simply shots of terrified people running; etc. The trailer was probably rushed to precede Transformers because of the perfect opportunity it afforded: who in the audience wouldn't be psyched for a preview of awesome destruction? My guess is that the production company underestimated the publicity the trailer would suddenly garner and so may have been caught unprepared for the overwhelming amount of sleuthing that is now taking place. While there may be many film-related sites being planned, I doubt that they are up and running at this time, and that we've all jumped the gun.
Moreover, I think it likely that a lot of misdirection is planned and/or already going on. Notably, I think some of the purportedly-connected websites are simply pre-existing sites which have been contacted by the production company and paid to play along with the mystery, simply to create more mystery while the producers get the real stuff up and running. The sites seem eccentric because they are - they're not really important, just intended to hold our attention for a day or two. ("Hey Mr. Inflight Magazines collector, can we use a forum on your website for the next few months if we pay you $3,000.00?...") If I recall correctly, the owner of one site (Tossing Games?) advised inquiring minds that he could not comment until he received the go-ahead from JJ Abrams... On the other hand, I think we may have stumbled prematurely upon the Ethan Haas site, or, in the alternative, already obtained more information from the site than Abrams would have liked. I don't believe the denials; instead, JJ Abrams probably just didn't want the Cthulhu connection identified and confirmed at this time. Similarly, I'm presently doubt that Alpha-Omega will be released in any form this August...
I haven't followed "Lost," but understand that there has always been lots of speculation among its fans concerning a possible Lovecraft/Cthulhu connection. Assuming that such theory hasn't been debunked, I have to agree with Drathan that this movie could likely take place in "the LOST universe."
While I think that the Cthulhu mythos is definitely a part of the film, the repeated use of the number six suggest that depicted apocalypse will also include elements from the Biblical Book of Revelations, including the "Beast" which rises from sea, which is identified by the number 666. Check out the “products” page at mindstormlabs.com. Would you be surprised if you learned that Lost, Alpha-Omega, and “The Parasite” were all coming out of the same universe?Loved the proposition by Kanchi that the monster will destroy NYC just to get Rob. But suppose Rob is just Noriko’s Ann? -
...so how come no one is wearing a wintercoat in the trailer or there's no snow on the ground? Riddle me that. Unless the movie doesn't actually take place on 1-18-08 or in NY?
-
...so how come no one is wearing a wintercoat in the trailer or there's no snow on the ground? Riddle me that. Unless the movie doesn't actually take place on 1-18-08 or in NY?
-
The movie cannot possibly take place on its release date and hold the interest of any audience even a day later. The date is the release date, and nothing more.
-
Then why are the photographs on the official site dated 01-18-2008
-
"All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the one."------- What makes more sense here?-------That someone who is associated with a mysterious show called Lost makes a camcorder movie about a monster in NY, and that, that's all there is. With a fake title. Nothing else. That it's all hype and nothing else and will suck horse cock because you'll never see the monster anyways, and if you do it'll be all grainy and shakey. But everyone's a fucknut and claims to find hidden clues like, clocks off time, mystery websites, flashlights on the backs of shirts, numbers on people's faces, demons in chic's hair, shit on the side of the fridge, stupid fuck dialogue like "It's a Lion", Japanese drinks, numerology with time and tempetures, blah, blah blah................................
or that ALL this was planned and will be an awesome fucking movie living up to the hype.......uuummmmm!!! -
...you could tell us a thing or two about lions!
-
sorry, also with a time stamp suggesting that, that is when they were shot
-
...does the shoe fit with this one?
-
My bet is that when the countdown on theparasitemovie.co m reaches zero, the city backdrop will change from NY.jpg to NY.gif with the eyes in the cloud.
-
Like I said earlier, its going to be just like Lost, one mystery after another with no real answeres until opening day, when they hope we will all que up and they will sell lots of tickets. it may be fun getting there (if you can be bothered wasting your life) but we will only ever see what they want us to see, when they whant us to see it.
-
I like your assertion that something in/about Slusho! may be sentient. After all, the history plainly says "SLUSHO! came to life!!!!!!"
(Note also the SIX exclamation points following that statement...) -
The Lovecraft stuff all came from the assumption that this was tied into the Ethan Haas sites. At least, that's where the Cthulhu speculation all began. The stuff on the Slusho! site, I suppose, could be seen as Lovecraftian, but I don't know if people would have ever made that connection if they weren't already thinking "Lovecraft" because of the Ethas Haas shit.
-
I've been thinking the same damn thing. Nowhere is it hinted that Cthulhu has any part in this movie. None. The trailer doesn't hint at it nor does the Slusho site. So where is everybody gettting Cthulhu from? And as big a name that H.P. Lovecraft is, I'm sure that if a movie about Cthulhu is ever made that it won't be so under wraps like this one.
-
Don't you see the clues? There ice in the drinks they mix at the party. The Arctic is made of ice. Penguin's live in the Arctic. Some guy yells "lion". Lions come from the zoo. Penguins are also found at the zoo. They say "he's like you main dude" which can also translate to a "wingman". Penguins have wings! And penguins do not get along with Cthullu. If you scramble up the words in Ethan Haas you can make a word. You can also scramble up the letters in the word penguin to make other words, such as pen, and in. And the explosion... laserbeams from their eyes. I got that laserbeam part from a website that linked me to a passage in the bible. Why must you deny the truth that is right in front of you all? It's so clear!
-
rears its ugly head. Feel better now? Cause I'm sure you made a real difference in some someone's life.
-
If a film about the apocalypse takes place on 1/18/08, who will want to see it on 1/19/08? Clearly it might still have an audience, but NO money-minded executive would ever try to sell a movie that has so visibly gone past its "freshness date." The time-stamping on the photos is merely a marketing strategy that will have nothing to do with the final film; the point of the stamping is to let us know how fast everything goes to hell, and to remind us, OVER AND OVER, that the film opens in mid-January.
That said, the opening date for the film may still have been chosen for some reason connected to the numbers 666 (or any other reason in the world). -
It's Revelations. Check the release date to the corresponding entry in the bible. It's eerie. The Statue of Liberty matches the description of the whore of babylon and what happens to her. As does the raining of fire and rocks from the sky. It's creepy .
Check it. -
... I'll put down money that you never get to see anything or know what's actually happening in the whole movie. Look how he handles the monster in Lost.
-
and i bet we get another teaser, if not more before release anyway, drip fed to us to keep the hype going.

Revelation 18
1After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2With a mighty voice he shouted:
"Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!
She has become a home for demons
and a haunt for every evil[a] spirit,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
3For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
4Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
"Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
5for her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
6Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back double for what she has done.
Mix her a double portion from her own cup.
7Give her as much torture and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
'I sit as queen; I am not a widow,
and I will never mourn.'
8Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
9"When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
O Babylon, city of power!
In one hour your doom has come!'
11"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more— 12cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.
14"They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' 15The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16and cry out:
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
17In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
"Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' 19They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
where all who had ships on the sea
became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!
20Rejoice over her, O heaven!
Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets!
God has judged her for the way she treated you.' "
21Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said:
"With such violence
the great city of Babylon will be thrown down,
never to be found again.
22The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters,
will never be heard in you again.
No workman of any trade
will ever be found in you again.
The sound of a millstone
will never be heard in you again.
23The light of a lamp will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride
will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world's great men.
By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
24In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints,
and of all who have been killed on the earth."

I always thought someone should make it into a movie. I mean fuck, the story is already written, all they have to do is film the fucker.
-
and I also think they have shot a lot of this allready, why, because they have roughly 5 months left to finish on this film (if its out in Jan), that includes all visual effects, foley, music etc. It would have taken 1-3 night max to film the sequences in the apartment and street, the set ups are easy cos its handy cam or HD for the cut aways (shure you have some croud logistics but still), but the effects are going to take much longer to generate and you have to have footage to comp into, match move etc. So unless they are leaving everything to the last minute they are well on with it now. I reacon those sfx shots took took around 7 days (if they were quick) from digitising to final graded composite footage, then you have to organise the film-out for projection. Multiply that over the course of a full movie (a movie about a monster or something attacking a city) and you have a lot of work to do.
-
when Abrams says he is working on the movie kicking some massive ass he must be talking about effects set ups and action sequences. The monster (whatever it is) is in the bag for them and they will only let us know when they are good and ready. Like someone said earlier this is Abrams, you probably will never see the fucker, its probably constatntly enveloped in a shroud of smoke or something
-
Is it me or did the tease just get some new ' better ' sound effects ?
-
for something that big in scope?
http://tinyurl.com/3dwmh3 -
I think you are right. People are over analizing this way too much. I have never seen such reaction to a trailer before.
I'll keep looking at the Slusho site and the official site. -
exactly why I think he has a small company working on it (thats if the budget is correct, could be another miss lead). If they have a small boutique studio working on it then they are gonna have to work very hard to get the shots done, they will need footage and time, they only have 5 months at best, unless there are fuck all effects shots in it and its more of a character peice (god forbid, ohhhh nooo like lost).
-
... that site says its a monster film. I think you guys might be off on the bible crap. It'd be neat either way really, but really monster would be better.
-
It´s just you.
-
nah im telling you that murmer of a woman was never on there before just before the ' what was that sound ' im sure
-
... and like I said before, Abrams is known for not showing his monster on Lost and leading you down the X-Files path of, answer one question but introduce four more. If it's all shot hand held, and you still only get to see bits and pieces of the monster it could still be a fun ride. I'm just not getting my hopes up yet until I see more.
-
for a monster movie with a MONSTER in it.
-
official "cannon" yet? sorry, i missed about 24 hours worth of posts and im trying to catch up. HE SAYS ALIVE....thanks....

If I didn't have to register as a first time poster I'd have been first to say "new pic" but I'll be damned if I clean glean anything from it.
Also, "hi" -
Cause I know its just a giant robotic Richard Simmons.
-
I agree with you, think we should all wait and see and stop over analising this thing, it will only make it more of a let down if it dosent live up to our expectations.
Actually I bet Abrams could be quite worried right now. -
...I've seen the "Slusho" signs.
-
A Slusho-drunk Osama Bin Laden, come to finish the job!
-
Everyone's seen it, right? Looks like cops or soldiers in the left background - one towards the center looks like he's taking aim at something further away...
-
out this thread. he knows that this site is the best way to get the word out. thank god for this post. i can't wait until more clues drop. i hope this will be more than just a dumb ass lethargic monster. i almost want to see this film with no idea what is going on. best trailer ever produced in my opinion. fucking genius.....
-
The new 3rd pic at 1-18-08.com is the first to show us a scene unlike anything seen in the trailer. It also reinforces the sense I've been getting that the trailer (and maybe the movie as a whole) seems to try to evoke memories and feelings of the 9/11 attacks. It shares the shocking and unexpectedness of the attacks, the destruction is lower Manhattan is an obvious parallel, and now this new picture of people moving through clouds of smoke or something, covering their mouths and noses, reminds us, of course, of the scenes following the fall of the tower when the streets were filled with clouds of debris. What this has to do with the plot, if anything, I don't know, but I suspect it has a sub-conscious effect on why so many of us reacted so strongly to this trailer.
-
Yeah. It's too bad I don't have a project coming out soon enough to link into the mix of things like this Ethan Haas video game is doing. But I bet you're right about Abrams. Think forget about all this for awhile and go get some air. After all there's still a Simpson's movie and a Harry Potter to save my excitement for. Cheers all, and have fun on the goose chase!
-
myspace page for the movie yet? i know its a stretch, im just curious if anyone has investigated that. thanks...
-
I hope this isnt related to the 'monster'
I found this on youtube its called the 'Black Smoke Monster' on the Lost show that is created by JJ. It looks gay to me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0X3OKjIlUg&mode=related&search= -
I downloaded the trailer the same day it came up and the sound is there.
I wonder what people will try to come up with regarding the new photo. -
Four Individuals (I can make out)
Walking through a white mist, ash or fog, it looks like all four are covering their mouths. The source of the "light" is most intense behind the girls and there is a dark spot on the ground between the two men.
Keeping with the Japanese theme the silouette of the girl on the right is very "Japanese school girl" looking. Also there looks to be white ash/soot in her hair.
Also this image is very reminiscent of people walking out of the dust coulds in 9-11 -
Can some one who is well versed in photoshop put a wash or dye or use some other method on the 12:48 pic to bring out some of the washed out details here - is this at all possible.
-
Is the spirit tower project in NY real? (seems very close to Dark Tower to me), its just that the registered owner of www.401broadway.com (the sign in the trailer that gets hit by the libery head says 401 broadway) is a company called Vision Entertainment Inc they also have copyright over the Spirit Tower Project website which is relative to 9/11.
-
WHAT DO WE GOT, BESIDES THE THIRD PHOTO?
-
I heard that also this movie can be just another trailer to Lost because he did that before so I really hope not because this has got my hopes up high for this movie!
-
I heard that this trailer is just another trailer to Lost because JJ did that before....putting a trailer to Lost in the movie theatres before. I really hope not because everyone is talking about this and its got my hopes up high too.
-
You're right death. All I see are white lions in the white mist.
Or are those albino penguins? -
i had a lil paly in photoshop its defo 2 woam hand on mouths , what looks to be a photographer and a man running, through the smoke alot of reness , maybe fire ?? fuck i dunno this is just my thoughts on a 2 min photoshop tweak if anyone wants to see it or post it lemme know, i havent a clue how to get it on the web
-
I just ran a Shadow Highlights in Photoshop on the new image, like Tone Mapping, vitually useless as the image simply has not got the colour depth necessary to extract any more info. The image is as is, the only thing you can see more clearly in the person that seems to be facing the other way has his hands up to his head (filming maybe, or shooting at something)
-
jesus my spelling , thats women and Redness..

I don't know whether the film takes place in January, but really don't care; however, because I'm not stupid, I can easily predict that the action of the film won't take place in January 2008 as many people might want to see it on DVD and in other countries, etc., or even on the day after it opens...
The POSSIBLE connections to Lovecraft have been made by any number of users, and around the web, and passed on by Harry himself. (See his July 6, 2007 entry: "What Untitled JJ Abrams Trailer before Transformers... Is it a tease for something unbelievably cool?") As I've said, I don't follow Lost, but I understand that some in its audience had speculatively connected its plotlines to the Cthulho mythos long before Cloverfield/The Parasite/1-18-08 came into the public eye. In any case, as I've never been personally impressed with the purportedly awesomely horrific evil of Cthulhu, I pretty much don't care whether it is true, just think it might be...
BTW, while looking to see how the Cthulhu connection might have begun, I found that on June 17th - ONLY TWO WEEKS before the trailer appeared in finished form all across the US - Moriarty wrote "We’re going to see a trailer for it very soon that’s been designed and shot EVEN AS WE SPEAK. I’m not sure if it’s going to be attached to TRANSFORMERS or if we’ll see it later in the summer, but it’s definitely coming soon. And the end of it should feature one of those iconic images that makes people talk about a trailer for months."KV, although I'm sure you're an important industry insider with much better perspective than mine, if Moriarty was accurate in stating that the trailer was STILL BEING DESIGNED AND SHOT as of June 17, you and I have a very different notion of what constitutes a "very strategically planned marketing campaign." We're way ahead of the producers at this point, and they are running to catch up. -
its huge, its a li*gunshot*
goodnight -
TOO SOON!!!

not only is he in the trailer (have a gander at the part where they are watching the telly, he is in blue shirt) - also i have it on bona fide authority that the trailer is not in the film - however i have found an article on the net quoting from jj saying that the trailer IS from the film -thereby proving that he is prepared to tell a few porkies in order to lead us up the garden path. I wish i could tell you how i came by this info but i would get my mate and myself in deep trouble....

The pictures on the 1-18-08 site are just sitting there like they're laid out on a table and have times and dates on them.

So I was just thinking that maybe this is all like one big flashback and its someone looking at everything that happened.

Look at this pic: http://www.cityrealty.com/graphics/uploads/1159302903_bway401s.jpg
It's the same shot, just not in the middle of the street and a few meters further up Broadway. This is the street view of what looks to be the landing site of the head: http://tinyurl.com/yrumoz. It seems to be either a different area that was cut in (there is a blur for each camera movement to and from 401 broadway) or some flipping/heavy modification was done to the area between the trailer and the street view.
Doesn't really solve anything but it's interesting :). -
Bluecrush,Big Daddy, Bulworth, Eight legged freaks, Friday nigth lights, mystic river, Spongebob, mr. 3000,Racing Stripes, Pokemon 2000.... Not exactly movies i remember for their cool effects and what not... making Blair Witch only cost 35 thousand dollars ... now we aren't sure if the whole movie is in the form of homevideo theres no confirmation from what i hear.... If the entire movie IS in homevideo format that 30 million into effects could be a good movie... but a movie about monsters and buildings blowing up for 30 mil could be a disaster on its own...

Hey, all. I haven't seen anyone post this yet. Right when Rob runs out of the stairway and into the street, there is a guy in a long sleeved dress shirt in front of him. He practically pushes him out of his way. Right when the girl is heard saying "What is it? Is it coming this way?" you can see the guy's back pretty clearly and he has a white circle (doughnut?) on the back of his shirt. It looks almost painted on. It's not a jersey with a silk screened number zero for sure. Not sure if this is a clue but it just jumped out at me. This trailer has me really interested so far. :)
-
...on the guy's shirt...they're flashlights. I scrutinized it already. Just flashlights.

its probably doughnut man... a super hero who throws doughnuts at it's villians causing them to explode from eating too many

PROF IKAMONO- What you found on myspace is very interesting. I checked out all the pages, and read all the back and forth comments. Gregbaxter mentioned the "trailer with no name" to one of his friends on july2. The people seemingly connected with the movie have not logged in recenly. the "Roommate" or dawn, hasnt logged in since the 17th when. She responded to a comment that was left for her in april!! I bet these people have been told to stay off myspace, and or log on to make sure nothing inappropriate is left by friends.
I wonder if the Statue of Libery in "LIZ's" picture was the one they used to model the one in the trailer. -
It's having a thermal breakdown or something. You might want to check it out.

The feedback page is down and it looks like they added a sound on/off in the upper right hand corner... the on/off button seems bugged though.

Has anyone tried to translate the bottom of the Slusho.jp site? where it has 6 and then the japanese characters? maybe there is a clue there...

Hello,
First time poster, long time lurker. I read most of the posts, and no one seems to mention that if this is supposed to take place in January in New York City why isn't anyone wearing a jacket? Even when they go outside no passersby are wearing winter clothes. Ponder. -
...it sort of says what it does in English - Bet you can't just drink six, a more literal translation: "it is not sufficient to drink six"
-
That could either be a BIG mistake, or something that we will find out about later. The t.v. report lists the temperature as 63 degrees, which obviusly is quite warm for midnight in january, in new york. I think theres something to it that we dont know about yet.
-
... are now trademarked on the website... earlier there was no "TM" next to the logo...
-
there was a big discussion about that about 1000 post back... or on the other TB. People brought up the point that this past January it was over 70 in NYC, so it is not crazy for the temp to be 63.
-
hmm, i guess the obvious part i missed was when the reporter listed the temperature. But that must have something to do with something. Am i right people!?!

The fish wraps around the screen - in other words, it vanishes off the right hand edge and reappears on the left.

No idea what, if anything, that means. -
Hello,
so for this new photo, i'm in the Army, and if that guy in the middle is shooting a rifle he has a pretty poor stance, and probably wouldn't hit anything. His pants are definitely not bloused in his boots, and he should have a fireteam partner within a few feet of him. But he is an actor, so that could explain his stance, and there might be somebody behind the center girl, so that would explain his partner. Basically i got nothing. -
New one just went up!!!

if you zoom in on the oven mitt... you find another clue... check it out

Should have checked earlier posts. Just really into where this is all going.

I've been reading on various websites (CNN,Topix,etc.) about how there is fear that a terrorist attack could happen sometime within the summer months. If that does happen (God willing it doesn't) then I wonder if they will shift the release date to this.There is a possibility of death for innocent civilians, and the only thing I can think of is what kind of sick fuck like Bin Laden, would want to go and screw up vacation time for people.

Wow guys! I did some snooping around and tried for the hell of it 1-18-08.com..... well what do you know! one of the pictures on there looks awful similar to the party theyre at int he trailer... thats where we need to be looking from now on! im a detective by trade so I'll keep seeing how else I can contribute...

Revelations.. has to be. Everything for Cthulhu is soooo off what the story calls for that i don't understand why people are still talking about it. The "6"s should be a clear indication of what its about. Slusho has nothing to do with the movie except to give you a crazy story and make you think about the number 6. lets be real here. Slusho was in Alias and really had nothing to do with the show sooooo just because slusho is shown in this movie doesn't mean that it plays a major part in the film.
The only thing that i could think of other than that is some kind of experiment gone wrong. The two guys look too guilty for their own good. -
nice!!!!!! (six "!" that must be a clue, FROM ME!!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!)
-
Hey all. First post! I've read this entire talkback and really, truly can't stop. First thing is how funny and completely stupid some of the ideas really are. Such as:
1: The fucking lion. HA HA HA
2: The temperature conspiracies. Now, I think a quick easy explanation for this might be the heat from the explosion(s) or the body heat from this whatever it is is monster could have quite easily affected the readings of the surrounding areas.
3: Cthulhu.
It's not going to be Cthulhu!! Seriously. It might be slightly based on Cthulhu or the story but it is not Cthulhu.
4: Godzilla! Again, HA HA HA.
5: Voltron. This most ridiculous idea yet.
6. The timestamps. This is clearly just a way to show the "home movie" quality and show how quickly things get fucked. I will be seriously surprised if this has anything to do with anything.
Ok. Now for the serious stuff.
1: Ethan Haas. I have to think that if J.J. and crew went to the trouble of creating sites and spewing all this stuff for us to wade through, it's not unreasonable to think they created the Mind Storm Labs site, press release and the Ethan Haas stuff. IT does seem strange that Mind Storm Labs has no mention on the net outside of a year ago. But, many new companies start up all the time and only go public after their product is almost done or finished. The whole thing could easily have been done by J.J. and crew. I guess we will know for sure on Aug 1.
2: Slusho.
I seems this is probably the most puzzling piece so far. It really does seem like there are some good clews here. And how FUCKING COOL would it be to see a massive flaming human monster or something that was mutated by the secret Slusho ingredient. That sounds insane and clever and fun. But I doubt it.
3:The Freemasons.
Well, I am a fan of reading about these nuts and their history, and the DNS info is interesting, but I think that this could have something to do with the story or some aspect of it. OR just a fun way to stay anonymous and throw us off.
The thing to remember is this is the creator of Lost, who will obviously spare no change on creating a FULL experience for the audience. We live in a world now where this type of MASSIVE viral marketing is much easier than ever. So, Where are. I think not close yet. This is obviously being orchestrated and watched by his crew of MANY. Lets all keep searching as in the end, thats where the fun lies until the film comes out. Rock on AICN!! -
on http://www.ethanhaas.org/ if u have dual monitors and stretch the web page to both of them a quote pops up and it says
The great cycle, the beginning and the end, turns just as the plans of the gods turn once again to the world of men.
And they will come upon the earth only after the skies rain down fire and the very earth itself is made to shake and the great cities of men fall into ruins. Their plans are set and their purpose is clear; they come for war.

You are a WASTE of time! You know nothing of the world and it's surroundings. This movie is about doughnut man! ACCEPT THIS FACT! And if the crew IS READING THIS! I figured it out! Take me back to the mothership!!
-
I had a 2000 word essay on the possibility of it being Doughnut Man and the philosophical implications of it all, but I thought it was to heady. :) Cheers!
-
if you look at the explosion you see a man flying toward it with a doughnut in his hand.. its hard to see.. and you can only see it if you believe it's there.. also, if you zoom in 13 times on the cheese you see a doughnut as well. What other clues are needed?

im just gonna give one last jab before i hang up my thinking cap on this and i think you all should give a read but it seems everyone has lost seriousness in this forum and we are just putting random shit in our pictures to make one another laugh....except for you nikem30 yours could possibly be featured in the film but i must say one last thing no matter what this movie is we are all gonna see it so why the fuck does it matter what we figure out this could possibly be one of the best marketing schemes in the history of advertisment not only for this movie but for the genuisis who will eventually make a drink called slusho just because it is beeing featured in this movie...and we all will drink it probably more than six times....in conclusion.... god help us all
-
But there is a clue in the History Section of www.slusho.jp, Honshu is the "Home" of the beverage maker, well guess what else was made there? Gozilla movies! The movies were made there, during WWII "fat man" and "little boy" where dropped there, and the Godzilla Movies (those made in japan not the boring Emmerich movie) take place there.
So I think we're dealing with Godzilla or one of Adverseries here. By the way, the name godzilla is made of the japanese word gorilla and wale.

In fact, I couldn't help but notice that "Delights of zealous lads" is an anagram of "Godzilla defeats slusho."

If you filter out the some of the light, dunno if this would work with contrast, I can make out a silhouette; perhaps creature with demonic-like wings over it's shoulders. You can see what appears to be the road behind the 4 main figures, and this 'thing' looks to be beyond this road. The person in the shooting stance could surely be firing in this direction.

I remember a campaign for back to the future 3, on billboards, in seattle.basically one week, you saw some horses, nothing else. the next week, you say that the horses were pulling something. the next week, you saw the front of what they were pulling, but you couldn't tell what it was. the next week, you saw that it was the delorian!! and then they added the "Back to the Future 3" logo...great campaign. and it goes to show you that we might be reading WAY too much into this. there might be nothing to find until 1 or 2 photos more down the line. just saying it's a possibility.also you know you spend too much time on AICN talkbacks when you start typing the paragraph break in your personal e-mail on accident...

just stop paying attention to this movie. Seriously people, if we all stopped posting on this ridiculously long talkback, stopped looking for oddball websites about fake Japanese slurpees, and just ignored this deceptive marketing ploy then the people at Paramount, Bad Robot, or whoever will give out more substantial clues or information in fear of losing the interest of its fanbase. I know its fun to go along with this game, and i sense a general sense of excitement over what seems to be a truly original piece of sci-fi/fantasy/horror film to come out in a while, but lets get the facts straight:
* this isnt a spinoff/sequel of any sort
* its directed by Matt Reeves (his last feature film was the Pallbearer- yeah that shitty David Schwimmer flick) and written by Drew Goddard (a TV writer- albiet a good one), so dont go on to thinking this is some masterpiece in the making
* For the people who think this is lion, i will not make fun of you, or curse at you at all. In fact I hope to see the same people so adamant in thinking its a lion to start posting on every possible website out there that it is one. So much so that the filmmakers will have to come out and detract those theories /or remaim mum on the subject thereby proving to the internet it is a Lion based on their silence, in which case that would be super lame...i mean...come on, a giant lion? Ive seen more originality come out of Carlos Mencias filthy ass.
* Lets pretend for a second there is a demon in between the 2 girls (or same one for that matter) hair, or lets pretend the numbers throughout the trailer mean something, or this is a movie about a giant humanoid squid looking thing that represents all evil, or those ethan hass sites do have something to do with this film...Pretend all of those things are true, now lets take a deep breath....exhale...and repeat to ourselves "who cares?!"...at the end of the day we need to realize that on that fateful day we walk out of the theaters on 1-18-08 we'll probably dismiss it as yet another hollywood gimmick, and then quickly get all horny for the next batch of summer movies to masterbate over (I am guilty of this too, so dont take this as an insult by any means)
anyways, just thought i would throw my worthless 2 cents in. Remember people, to beat hype, you simply need to ignore it.
-
the man who supposedly says its a lion or its alive and its huge debate. That last shot of the statue of liberty's face in the street. I am thinking along the lines that JJ is making a godzilla vs...movie. At the end of Aicn's most hated movie next to Batman and robin, there was a hint that a sequel may happen. I think that is what jj is doing. but I could be wrong. or this could be a remake of q the winged serpent. I am going with Gozilla vs the fire breathing dragon.

When looking at El Borak's skyline pic. I thought maybe we should look into the LIGHTING SCHEDULE of the Empire State Building to maybe get an idea what is maybe celebrated at the time of 'attack'.
I notice that the colors of the Empire are White / Red (bottom to top). Anyone know what this lighting schedule represents? -
If the Slushozoom site is legit, a man on the page is holding a huge snapping turtle. Godzilla vs. Gamara? With maybe a flying creature like Mothra, Rodan or that 3 headed dragon?

I will be very impressed if they can keep the interest up until then. Seem like this trailer and "treasure hunt" came out way too early.

Holy crap. I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, as I can only devote about four hours of my day each day to trying to keep up with this massive board, but I was watching Lost yesterday, and there is a portion where Charlie is dreaming about his childhood Christmas and his brother receives …. A voltron toy. Yes probably completely irrelevant, but I was cracking up and horrified at the same time. I think it was episode 10 or 11 of season 2.

It was me who mentioned the fact that we hit 70 degrees here in NY this year. Before that, though, the highest we got was back in 1950, so either this is relevant to the movie, very accurate to current times, or an absolute mistake. Yea, I got nuthin' :P Haha sorry gang, I'm tapped out of ideas.

That's the lamest attempt to get us to buy the Cuthulu angle I've seen so far.
So you have photoshop yipee. But if you want to make it bellieveable you need to match the front layer with the back. The front is blurry because the camera is moving and Cuthulu in the background is obviously a picture of a toy (this toy in fact) http://tinyurl.com/32342c. On top of that it lacks the movement of the front layer, focus and grain.
Better job next time. -

I don't think anyone else mentioned this above, but if so, forgive me for being redundant. I had the 1-18-08 site pulled up and opened another browser window. When I alt/tabbed back to it a yellow box appeared on the screen. Once you move your mouse it dissappears. I took the time to stack all 3 photos perfectly inside this box, having to alt/tab back and forth to another page just to get the box to appear. Once they were stacked, the photos began their slow spin, but the box got bigger with it. Now, it may be a progamming thing, but I thought I would pass it on. The only problem is if you leave the page for too long the yellow box shrinks back down to the size of the photos. Unfortunately I can't just stare at the screen for an hour to see if anything comes from it. Stupid work...geez

Folks have commented that Rob looks at the camera as if he thinks the monster is after him or he "knows something". How about this. The cameraman is a good friend of Robs and party goers comment, "what are you going to do without Rob?" Maybe the camera holder is responsible because he does not want to lose Rob. Maybe the look Rob is giving the camera is a "what the fuck did you do?" look.

As of the last time I checked in giant water breathing horses were battling flaming lions in New York City in the midst of a giant vat of Slusho just underneath the Statue of Liberty. The only thing new appears to be the use of a gigantic spot light in case anyone was having a hard time seeing the battle. Don’t move, let me get my sunglasses…
-
...political spectrum you're on, but giving out grief to people for having a bit of fun on an ENTERTAINMENT site? You know how to party, guy.
-
I dont think its flashlights cuz the circles never move. Also hes the same guy in the fisrt picture at 1-18-08.com Doughnutman lives on! But i think it seriously is something.
-
Slusho was supposed to mean something; it was supposed to be better than all the other soft drinks. Now, it's no different than a regular 7-11 Icee. It makes me sick.
-
...I could post endlessly, bits of history far more random than Auschwitz... ...Don't play innocent with me, mister..."Oh I just have a sense of humour, what's wrong with that?" Bullshit. You chose Auschwitz over say... The invention of the flush toilet by Sir John Crapper, or the opening of Disneyland on July 17, 1955. No, You deliberately chose one of the single worst atrocities commited in recent history... You sir, are clearly a troll here to stir up shit, knowing that a cavalier attitude to the Holocaust was sure to offend somebody... Well, congratulations asshole, you managed to get me pissed off and react to your stupid shit... Just consider yourself lucky anchorite doesn't seem to care about this cloverleaf thing...
-
Just had a though that the something -2004 and the letters ACE that can be seen on the wall to the right of the doorway (they are illuminated clearly at one point) could be a nod to a film editor, ACE stands for Association of Cinema Editors and the ****-2004 could be that editors life span, maybe someone that died in 2004. I can't be arsed to check it out though.
-
...here to just stir things up, let's just leave it alone, and let it go?By continuing down this path you are ultimately letting the terrorists win
-
But on the other hand...
-
Why don't we do something I'm SURE you're good at...how about a spelling bee?
-
In the teaser if you pause it on the table that all the food is on at the party, there is a white dish. It looks like it is full of soya sause, but there are some Chinese/Japanese characters on it.
Also, just a few frames after we see that table there is a close up of the man who says "How are you going to survive without Rob?". In the frames that we see him there are two pitures to his left. In the top picture there is a man, on the bottom one there is a dark figure
Could be nothing, could be something big, who knows.
Like Pandora's Box, we never should have been unleashed. -
The detail that no one is condidering! The "Dead Dead" on the back of the sign!
Its Jerry Garcia and Adolf Hitler come back from the dead and all of Jerry's dead head followers along with Eva Braun are coming with him to corn hole Rob for stealing Jerry's guitar from the rock n roll hall of fame! Then Hitler will force feed non kosher pork to all the Jews in the world until they explode like Mr Creosote! -
...was way funnier than anything else you've posted. Although I think you probably just copy pasted it... and missed the error.
-
but oh well.
I just tried again to go to the slusho website. I typed in slusho.org by accident and this is what came up
1.18.08 - Slusho - this site actually will serve a purpose, though this is not affilated with Paramount, I will help them..
Slusho (other than the username I have been using for years) sort of forced me to buy this domain name due
to a drink from the trailer called 1-18-08 -- in essance if I didn't get it.. I would forever be known as
Some random Japanese drink called Slusho..
Above is listed all the sites that people have contacted me with regarding the trailer that my research has pointed to them being valid.
Yes, Slusho is one.
So yea, it's safe to bookmark slusho.org .. link to it.. whatever.... as I will update it as more information becomes open.
This is what I found so far in terms of related sites to this trailer...
My plan is to honestly do a good job on getting some sort of complete picture of what is going on... My personal opinion is
closer to the Anti-Christ site.. I think that site is what ties this all together.
The Slusho Slogan -- "bet you can't drink just six" .. .. well 666... as well as the bible verse quoted on that site being
Romans 1:18
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness
It's doesn't take someone with an IQ of a million to figure out that is why that date was picked... Verse 1:18 -- movie 1.18
If you guys want to get more "insider info" .. I would look towards that number 63 degrees... on the trailer's 'news report'
You guys know, in the year 63 BC -- the Romans invaded and took over Israel (Judea) as a client kingdom.... and the bible verse quoted from the date
of the movie is from Romans 1:18 --- but that might be alittle too complicated for most viewers
So my guess is that JJ Abrams just meant ... 6 -- 3 times...
Other aspects that make that Anti-Christ site more convincing... try looking up the bible passages of the time stamps for the news
reporter on the TV (the same screen frames as with the 63 degrees... you will notice something.. they are all about the end of world..
The reason I am throwing that out there is because you don't get multiple hits like that only by chance.. it was the intention.
oh.. on how to contact me if you feel I missed a site.... just post a message on SqlSpace's 1-18-08 room
- Slusho
-
Look at the rooftop scene closely and you will see a massive explosion in the background!!!
-
... I let a troll bait me and then did the worst thing you can do... react when I should have ignored him completely... my bad.
-
..won't someone think of the children?
-
has officially gotten viral. Time for a shot of penicillin. The holocaust is not funny unless you're Iranian. It was the awkward joke told by the kid that desperately wants to be funny but never will. You got crickets fella. Try again sometime.
-
Ah well as they say in germany "if the Auschwitz"
-
...is that one aborted baby? Cause that would end up more like a daiquiri
-
...this board has gotten out of control. One minute I'm laughing, the other I'm thinking "what the fuck?"But hey, it's keeping me occupied at work, so spar on!Oh, and if you know anything new, please divulge...I'm off for a slusho...or 6
-
Mel Gibson called. He wants his antisemitism back.
-
In my insane quest to track down any retarded lead... I researched odd Japanese beverages (... there are SO MANY of them...) and the weirdest by far (to western palates) was Pespi Ice Cucumber... It was introduced to the Japanese market exactly one month ago on June 13th a blog called the Consumerist had a post on it - and one of the commentors actually said something like "I don't think I could drink more than six of those" On June 13th! An American living in Japan named Peter has posted on YouTube a video where he days that Pepsi Ice Cucumber is "like having Satan in your mouth" Now, That's some random shit! Also the turtle-like Japanese water demon (well, it's a "Yokai" demon is close, so is goblin, but there is no real English word for it) known as Kappa will refrain from drinking your blood out of your anus if you offer it a cucumber... very handy to take a cucumber with you when you go swimming in Japan.
-
If any one sees schindler tell him he left his list!
-
I keep looking at the links and icons, they all deal with 6's, six people in a bath, ect. I sent an email to support and got an email back from a genetics company.
-
Its "Beverly Hills Cop IV"
-
is the call of Cthulhu cause we are all going batshit crazy.
-
Is today Friday the 13th? Excepting that its my ex-boyfriend's birthday (may he serve as Cthulhu's butler for eternity), it should be a lucky day. 7-7-07 was truly wretched. Anyway, being what it is, I bet there will be some new stuff on the real sites today. Has anyone noticed that www.clover fieldmovie.com is just a blank space and not an unregistered site? Think anything will be on there soon?
-
What flavor of ice cream do you prefer
-
That would be an AWESOME job! Fresh seafood every day, the boss is always sleeping...Melis, you should think harder about where you want your ex to go...
-
hold on a sec ...yep, I'm a girl. Are they rare 'round these parts? (pun intended)
"See above"? Are you referring to making gentle love to the Cuddly Wuddly Cthulhu song, masturbating to pictures of dead chickens, or the website you listed? If any of the above...I'm gonna have to pass. Can we still be friends? -
Because, without it, how in the world would so many cynical, holier-than-thou individuals be able to hurl insults at people they'll never meet while hiding behind the anonymity of a fake name? Sweet Jesus...do you people say this kind of shit to people in person? How often do you get your fucking ass kicked? Because there have been at least two dozen comments over the course of this thread that I would have responded to by smashing a fucking bottle over someone's head if they said that shit to me within reach. And this shit happens in every TB on this site. Are you people this aggressive in your day-to-day lives, or do you just come on here to talk shit since you know the chance of someone on these boards actually tracking you down and punching the teeth right out of your fucking mouth is pretty slim? Because that would make you a fucking PUSSY. Now can we please stop acting like a bunch of fucking two year-olds and talk about this stupid fucking movie already?
-
Can anyone tell me how many people in this thread who are taking this seriously? Because I will tell them what a Vagina feels like.
-
I'm still laughing at Prof's post that said "...Kappa will refrain from drinking your blood out of your anus if you offer it a cucumber... "wtf? that shit is funny
-
Or when you navigate around the Slusho.jp site the music overlaps and when you turn the audio off there is only one set of music there? Also the kids aren't hanging from their kites anymore.
-
Can be found here.
-
I leave for like 2 hours and come back and there are people talking about abortion pictures and the holocaust, what the hell happened in here?
-
Uhm, dude, I have one and I'm here.
-
Kloipy, what the hell did happen in here?BTW Slusho Slurpee I have found that the potted meat tastes best...and it's cheap!
-
Harry finds real life vagina in TB, has massive coronary
-
Congrats on that. But I will be giving a class later. You can attend if you would like.
-
"i'm just bored"? Well, why didn't you say so? How can any girl resist that.
But seriously folks, if being Cthulhu's butler is too good, how about Tom Jones's hair stylist? Ha! -
what are you wearing?
-
My first post, but I was so impressed by GeralJack I had to say well done. by the way fuck this movie already, i'm starting to get as frustrated with this as I do Lost. But I can't stop watching that shit either.
-
Several of use were having a polite discussion when General comes along and threatens us with physical violence and called us dirty names. I'm afraid I'm too shaken to continue. I must seek counseling.
-
Check the schedule because I think Slusho Slurpee's "What A Vagina Feels Like" class is right down the hall.
-
Cthulhu.
-
Clothes, just clothes, and nothing else. Does that turn you on?
Ok guys, it's been real... -
this is your first post, and that is what you chose to go with?
-
Will you dress up like Princess Leia for me?
-
Anyone been to Voltronblog.com? Why would there be a 5 second clip from the Cloverfield trailor imbedded there? Also there is 11808 in the upper left hand corner of the page now. Can anyone go in there and add those to the page?
-
You are required to attend my class. I am sitting you in the front row, and all your fees are waived.
-
Impulse you a Jew?
-
We didn't scare off the only girl death on a cracker. The General is still here...
-
I just checked it in word under synonyms and it sure as heck is
-
I'll check it out. BTW how many credits is it?
-
Thnx death, I'm getting into this crap a little late in the game. I fugured if i waited one of you geniuses would have it all figured out by now. Sorry Impulse should of known by the Nose.
-
is this a Voltron movie? or did he say "It's a lime!" is this a corona commercial?
-
Seriously! A third one has been posted and I think you should all check it out! www.1-18-08-com
So saith the Prophet! -
Harry you forgot to tell us what you had for breakfast, how big your morning shit was, what JJ Abrams dick tastes like, etc...
-
It's a standard 3 credits, but if you prove that you actually have seen one in person, you get 4.
-
It's a standard 3 credits, but if you prove that you actually have seen one in person, you get 4.

If someone was talking that kind of shit to me in person, I would not tell them I was going to kick the shit out of them. Depending on what kind of day I was already having, I would probably just kick the shit out of them. And, yes, I would gladly tell anyone on this site who engages in that kind of behavior the exact same thing I just said in my post. My opinions are still my opinions if you're standing right in front of me. If you live in the Chicago area (and plan on attending Wizard World Chicago) and would like me to demonstrate this, come to my booth (General Jack Cosmo Productions), and ask me about it. I will gladly tell you the same thing face-to-face. Anything that I say on this or any other site is something I'd be willing to say in person.
-
a quick one here. JeremiahTheProphet you are a little late on that one
-
Yup thats it, it's a giant Corona bottle attacking NYC! maybe the movie is an allagory for all the Mexicans invading America. oh crap now i insulted Jews and Mexicans. which is ok cause I'm both.
-
That's another one for my list of things to say if you never want to get laid
-
No, they did not.
They said "It's alive!"
End of story.
So saith the Prophet. -
Takes some Midol, wash the sand out of your vagina and have a drink. Nobody wants to hear how you would kick everyone's ass when all we're doing is having fun.
-
I'm pretty sure I don't need anyone on this site to explain anything about vagina to me. But thanks for the offer. It is possible to have sex on a regular basis and still be a geek. The reason I don't seem to "care" about sex with women is because I have a girlfriend of three years who gives it up whenever I want it. She's just cool like that. So it's not something I worry about.
-
JeremiahTheProphet, you are required to attend my class as well as the General. But you have to pay double and hold the Generals hand!
-
so saith the douchebag
-
So what you are saying is that you call your right hand "Vagina" and your left hand "girlfriend"! This is all one big joke so chill the hell out and take that midol like nodukes suggested!
-
dude, that is priceless. This girlfriend of yours, is she by any chance, not real? Cause I don't know any girl willing to "give it up anytime". Like when she's taking a shit, do you luck stick your willy between the seat? And what does your company produce exactly? Is it run out of your parents house or do you guys produce handjobs to the Chicago Wizards?
-
I've been thinking the same thing. This is from IMDB, why no last name for the director?
""This updated telling of the VOLTRON story follows a team of space explorers who travel to the planet Arus and learn how to operate Voltron, the last hope against the evil Drule Empire that has subjugated Earth and taken control of the universe. Written by Michael D." -
Michael D wrote the article, duh. Just Marks is the writer for the movie
-
"Add that to things to say if you never want to get laid! lol" What, are you, four? Crap, man, if you're going to insult me, then at least put some effort into it! For instance:
"I've noticed you seem to be shifting uncomfortably in your seat. What happened, did you date go too rough last night? Maybe he'll be gentler next time he rapes you."
Go ahead and laugh at it. Your not getting laid either. But atleast I'll have an excuse, and it goes a little something like this:
So saith the Prophet! -
LOL dude, from the look of this shitty comic, you probably don't get any trim
-
Don't you see? The secret identity of the General is Undead Chris Benoit?
-
I didn't say I would kick everyone's ass. I said that, depending on the kind of day I was having, I might kick someone's ass for talking shit to me. Then again, if things were going really well and I was in a really good mood, I might just let it slide. It all depends on the situation. I also said that I would be happy to SAY the same things I'm saying here to anyone in person. That's not the same as threatening anyone. And, finally, I did see all the TF talkbacks...and many others...which is why I said that every TB on here degenerates into name-calling and insult-hurling. Finally, I don't consider people throwing around racist, anti-semitic comments to be just "having fun". And that's really what I'm talking about...not calling someone an "assclown" or whatever.
-
this shit is getting funnier by the minute...thanks for making this long ass day a little more entertaining. Going to lunch...you fuckers better still be wragging on the General when I get back. Unless he comes up out of his parents basement and tries to kick everyones ass.
-
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtm
has anyone noticed this website listed in the source of the 1-18-08.com page? -
"Look, I know she's my mom, but what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!"
so saith the Prophet -
like a total crapfest. You'd better hope this isn't Voltron.
-
now that you mention it i did read that. It says the Lions are built on earth. Transformers was so good I'm confidant they'd Voltron right.
-
"What do you mean masterbating in the kiddie pool is illegal?" Remind you of any lonely nights with Bubba while you were in prison? And so far, all you and your fuckbuddies have done is destroy a perfectly good TB. So how about we ditch the fart jokes and gender confusion and get to the task at hand. The point of this thing is to figure this movie out.
I'm not even going to bother with the catchphrase here anymore, you kids will find something funnier, no doubt. -
If i read the Transformer script before iseen the movie, I would of saidthe same thing this moie will be shit. But it was really good.
-
www.myspace.com/generaljackcosmo...also check out the reviews for our first comic here (http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=107788), here (http://www.paperbackreader.com/newcolumn2.php?ColumnID=206), and, finally, right here (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32064#10).

cause all that worth mentioning has been posted at least three or four times. So folks got bored and started to act out. You cant have uncomfortable silences in talkbacks. Instead you get uncomfortable postings. I promise not to post anything else till new info comes out. Unless Undead Chris Benoit comes back. Then all bets are off.
-
I said, "Because there have been at least two dozen comments over the course of this thread that I would have responded to by smashing a fucking bottle over someone's head if they said that shit to me within reach." Nodukes said, "Nobody wants to hear how you would kick everyone's ass when all we're doing is having fun." I said, "I didn't say I would kick everyone's ass." So, you're right, I did say I would kick someone's ass...if they were taling that kind of shit to me in person. I never said I would kick everyone's ass. Do you know how exhausting that would be?
-
And of course there's nothing new. That's because no one is still looking for clues. But, thank you, Death on a Cracker, for at least attempting to clear it up.
Oh, and Superninja seems to be doing a couple of awesome things as usual, so hats off to him, too.
So saith the *skrrt* TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION!!! -
I'm sure the General wouldn't try to kick an Undead Chris Benoits ass. Just sayin.
-
Maybe there's no other info for Voltron because all there is right now is a script and no one else is attached to it as of yet.
-
Just a reminder: Studios and advertisers think the general public is a bunch of half-brain dead morons who need to be spoon fed everything. Do you really think they would use an ad campaign where you have to scrutinize every frame of video and google search obscure terms and translate japanese characters to figure it out? Suddenly they think the public is a bunch of puzzle solving geniouses? I don't think so. Use the KISS principle.
-
No wonder, now it all makes sense
-
But it is supposed to be out in '08, how would that be possible if they hadnt started on it. Another thing i first read the udget for Cloverfield was 30 Million, I just read another sight it is up to 65 Million. That trailor alone prolly cost a nice mint to film all by itself.
-
Thank you for proving my point and anonymously hurling insults. ImpulseCaper, I wonder if you will actually introduce yourself to me? I guess we'll have to see.
-
crap as well. After seeing TF I say pull the plug on all 80s animated properties in development.
-
On the History page for the Slusho site there are links across the bottom in Japanese script. The 4th one from the left doesn't have a link associated with it and is made op of two characters. Can anyone here translate those two characters?
-
its something else and can someone please figure out the freaking clues!
-
I wish I was, but if I claimed his identity, I would recieve Total Fucking Destruction.
So saith a Prophet of the First Church of TFD. -
i post a fake picture and hardly anyone comments.
but then everyone goes crazy. i'm sorry i shouldn't have played with cthulhu's image so lightly. it's turned everyone mad!!!!!!!!!! -
I admit this is all wishful thinking on my part, but Voltron and Transformers both were huge to me as a kid.You got two movies being made out of 80's cartoons and both are about giant robots who save the planet. Transformers were obviously the first to come out the gate. But what if for argumenst sake Voltron is coming out shortly after, how do you distinguish yurself from Transformers to all that werent ever into the cartoons? You come up with an ingenius marketing plan.
-
Cource I'm wearin' bottoms!
-
Why does everyone assume this is a simple explosion? Seriously. It doesn't mushroom cloud and it seems very organized. I speculated about 1000-posts ago that it's not an explosion but the willful ignition of oxygen around some entity. I have a hard time seeing those 'objects' being ejected as just shards of earth and steel. I think they are intentionally being shot out and about the city for some purpose. (Now back to your complaints about being manipulated by JJ Abrams...)
-
Point taken. Still, I didn't directly insult anyone in my original post...I mentioned no names and made no references to any specific posts...and almost immediately the insults began flying my way...insults about me, about my girl, about my (admittedly) crappy web-site (which has this disclaimer at the top: "First, let us apologize for this rather plain and uninspiring site...we can assure you that a much cooler web-site is currently under construction..."), etc. Which kind of rpoves my point about hiding behind fake names and talking shit to people you will probably never meet. Now, ImpulseCaper acts like he wants to talk to me in person, and I think that would be great. But will he actually approach me at the con, or will he simply continue to hide? Don't get me wrong, I'm not threatening him (or anyone)...I'm simply saying I have my doubts that he will even come up to me and say "Hey, I'm ImpulseCaper. I'm the guy that likes to talk shit to you online," etc. Will he talk shit about my girlfriend to my face? Will he call me names in person? I guess we'll just have to see.
-
This trailor was too good, and has created such a buzz that a monster movie just won't cut it...I don't wanna see some stupid looking squid thing messin up manhattan. Besides why the F its a squid dude from the see, how can he blow shit up and launch meteorites through the air. It would so much cooler if it were an apocalyptic movie, like anti-christ type sh!t. I just wanna be blown away....If its a monster movie, ill call it right now....its going to be such a huge dissapoint. I mean if its what everyone is speculating it to be, it's not going to live up to it's potential.
-
I go to lunch and everyone's like "the general is a douchebag" and "what does a vagina feel like?". Now everyone is holding hands, singing "kumbaya", and doing each others hair. Should I bring the marshmellows?
-
those two characters represent History. Thats why you dont link to another page cuz you are already there.
-
Liberty, with the head being thrown after the shattered pieces go flying in the initial explosion. Either this is symbolic (which I expect), or it's something big and dumb that found the object threatening (as it looks like a human).
-
Good stuff nodukes. now lets get back to talking shit to each other thats supposed to be towards JJ Abrams(pompous dick)
-
could you imagine that? Some nerds dressed up like ewoks duking (or slapping) it out over some stupid argument about who knows what. I would never go to a Con unless that was going to happen
-
Of course it's all his fault, everything is. He's the reason the bumper was smashed off of my car. A PLAUGE ON THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!
So saith the Prophet! -
I never threatened anyone, including MRX67: "My OPINIONS are still my opinions if you're standing right in front of me. If you live in the Chicago area (and plan on attending Wizard World Chicago) and would like me to demonstrate this, come to my booth (General Jack Cosmo Productions), and ask me about it. I will gladly TELL you the same thing face-to-face. Anything that I SAY on this or any other site is something I'd be willing to SAY in person."

I thought you were done what that So saith the Prophet! Shut the fuckith up!

From the LA Downtown News Online site:
"Sephora Causes Double Take
News Brief
Countless Downtown commuters and passersby likely did a double-take last Wednesday when they saw a Sephora store at the northeast corner of Sixth and Spring streets. Though new businesses have been cropping up across Downtown, the high-end cosmetic retailer was actually part of a Paramount film shoot for Slusho. The movie crew wrapped the corner of the SB Lofts in the shop's trademark black and white horizontal stripes and filled the brightly lit windows with store merchandise and ads. The film activity also included street closures, driving scenes, 200 extras, military and emergency vehicles, destruction aftermath and weapons being brandished. The Sephora display was taken down the next day."
Okay, so there's not much there TO palp, but it's better than nothin'... -
Someone slap the General in the back of the head he sounds like a broken record. We get it already
-
Ewoks slapping it out at the geek convention is priceless. I'm outside Chicago, I'm getting there now for sure. General can i get in as a normal married man without a costume? Or is the storm trooper costume required
-
has anyone donated the .25 cents for the bath. it says wait 6 days for a reply..... what the hell is up with this frackin movie... give us clues now jj you whore!!!!!!!!!!
-
makes you want to cry
-
I think we get it...you would talk shit to people to their face. Move on.Hey slusho slurpee...go fuckith yourselfHAHA
-
Does your drink come in cum flavor? 'Cause if so, you may haveproved the Slusho company right. "Bet you can't drink just six!"
So saith a concerned citizen. -
Again, I didn't say I was planning to fight anyone at any cons (except a guy named Rick Olney, but that's--hopefully--a fight that will happen in one of the IFL rings for charity...long story...at this point, that looks like it's not going to happen either). What I said was: "Now, ImpulseCaper acts like he wants to TALK to me in person, and I think that would be great. But will he actually approach me at the con, or will he simply continue to hide? Don't get me wrong, I'M NOT THREATENING HIM (or anyone)...I'm simply saying I have my doubts that he will even come up to me and SAY 'Hey, I'm ImpulseCaper. I'm the guy that likes to talk shit to you online,' etc. Will he talk shit about my girlfriend to my face? Will he call me names in person? I guess we'll just have to see." That, said, if someone starts talking shit to me and says the wrong shit on the wrong day, then, yeah, we might fight. Shit happens. But I never said I was looking for a fight.
-
thats a little harsh nodukes. If you want me to start on you I will. But I would rather make fun of the easier targets!
-
You think JJ is laughing at the fact were threatening to get violent with each other cause we can't figure out his stupid ass movie mystery. Hey JJ if your reading this and you must be, go sit on the stupid decapited head of the fake looking statue of liberty then slowy spin dickhead.
-
...if you don't kick ass, howcum you list ass kicking as your occupation on your myspace page? Just asking... Cool looking comics by the way... I like the Tuxedo guy battling CThulhu...
-
I think this Talkback is getting close to setting a record number of posts. Anyone else think the new picture has an incredible 9/11 feel to it? Am I the only one who put the trailer on their iPod so they can watch it at will? I feel like such a nerd.
-
Married and str8, but if your an attractive female me being str8 is all that matters and i will send a pic! But I'm always on here, this trailor crap prompted me to get in on the action.
-
Let me tell you something here, Jethro; I know whores that are easier than you and have better comebacks. So, why don't you go back to attempting to have sex with your goldfish?
So saith the Pet Shop owner! -
Do you some fucking auto-reply set up on this board? Does it just repeat the same stupid shit about how cool you are, and how you can get some anytime you want, and how you will gladly talk shit to a person face to face?If so, then turn the fucking thing off because nobody wants to hear that shit anymore. Just take your vagina hand, your Gandolph costume, and your roided up body with backne (back acne)right out of this forum.
-
Ok man that's cool. Thanks again for explaining it
-
JeremiahTheProphet that is disgusting why would you ask that? Or do you like that sort of thing?
-
Talk about hyping a movie. Everyone seems to be looking for something on the scale of Bay's Armageddon crossed with Gibson's The Passion crossed with Godzilla/Voltron/Tranformers...sorry folks, ain't gonna happen - not on a $30MM budget.
-
at least they won't remember it
-
You're right. I don't know your name. But I would if you came up to me and introduced yourself. I would gladly do the same, but, as you said, you have me at a disadvantage. I'm certainly not looking for a fight, and since this is all just people blowing off steam and (apparently) no one was getting offended by all the shit-talking before my OP, then you're right...it's all good. There's definitely no reason for you not to introduce yourself at this point...shit, if whatever you're selling looks cool I'll probably check it out.

Hello. My name is David Dychko.
As we all have dissected the trailer 1-18-08 bit by bit, you'll notice there's a lot of Japan references throughout:
* The party is for Rob leaving for Japan
* Sushi
* Japanese art work and statues
* Even a letter written in Japanese on the refrigerator
* Even the "viral" site http://www.slusho.jp/ is Japanese with the quote "You can't drink just six".
Where am I going with this?
1. Well on the "6th" of August 1945, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, Japan.
2. Romans 1:18. It says the following:
"God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness"
Note: If Man messes with nature (nuclear bomb, pollution, etc.), monsters are born.
3. This history of "Slusho" says that drink was “discovered” by Noriko Yoashida whose nickname was Little “Whale”. She was known throughout the town as a great “scientist that did remarkable things with water” but later “disappeared while on the ocean”. Her son picked up the business and found an ingredients in it’s near “frozen-state” to preserve its freshness.
Does the three things ring a bell for any of you monster fans?
-----
----->They all point to the movie Godzilla (1954).
----
Now before you blast my post, here me out.
* Godzilla 1954 was about a dinosaur who woke from his “frozen state” at the bottom of the “ocean” from a “nuclear bomb” off from the coast of “Japan”. In the movie, a fishing “boat goes missing” off the coast. There was a “water scientist” who created the Oxygen Destroyer, a weapon that removed oxygen from water. It was used to kill Godzilla later in the movie.
* Gojira, his Japanese name, is a combination of the words “Whale” and Gorilla.
Side note: Godzilla was originally conceived to be a Squid before one of the producer said make him a dinosaur.
* Sony doesn’t own the rights to Godzilla anymore since they didn’t fulfill the contract agreement of making any movie after the 98 debacle.
* There have been talks and actual production of a CGI Godzilla movie for 2 years now. It was scheduled to be released in IMAX theaters but has faded away.
Could JJ.Abrams bought the rights and put him in this movie?
I, for one, would love to see this happen because Godzilla (1954) was a horror film anf that's what I feel this movie, 1-18-08, direction is. Godzilla was a walking nuclear bomb, and inflected fear and hard reminder to the horrors of the Hiroshima bomb.
I hope I’m right on this. J.J?
-
@Slurpie: I just really that damn crazy.
@Nodukes: That was pretty great. You have won my respect. lol
@Kenobi-Fan: It's possible to make a great monster movie without a gian budget. It's all a quesion of spending it wisely. On that same thought, anyone know what the budget to "The Host" was?
So respondeth the Prophet! -
... the connection to the trailer... AKM fraternity paddle... AKM is an honour society that is primarily Arican American in memberhip... Rob is an unlikely member... (Unless it's the one black guys apartment... or the black girl people thought was the same as the white girl) ... but Alpha Kappa Mu? Kappa - Japanese water creature known for drinking blood out of the anus (I swear I didn't make that shit up!) and Mu? fabled lost city under the Sea ala R'lyeh?

Thank you kind sir (as I bow)--ddychko: nice observations

Just thought I'd pass on that the cuddly wuddly cthulu site is down.
Got to wonder if a mass geek influx caused it to crash... -
why don't you suck his dick while you are bowing

.........fuck it......that was pretty good........I admit it

Because you'd get jealous.
-
whores give you that one to post
-
I think you scared the general off
-
Enough about the cum, and the dick sucking...that's just gross.lets get back to something more fun...like calling the General a fucking douchebag! You remember that don't you? It used to be so much fun...ahhh, the good ol' days.
-
...I just checked... it's still up.
-
Thanks once again for proving my point. Sorry...forgot to turn off auto-response.
-
yeah those were the good ole' days when we were young and carefree and about to get fired for bullshitting at work
-
What point is that?

sorry if it posted that way in the TB. It's www.myspace.com/generaljackcosmo with no spaces.

General, Assault and Battery is not a funny thing. You have covered step 1 of assault which is an intentional unlawful threat to cause bodily injury to another by force. Steps 2 & 3 are not met yet but they are making a person fearful of assault and the present ability of the threat taking effect. Battery is the willful or intentional touching of a person against that person’s will by another person, or by an object. Even poking someone in the chest with your finger or spitting on someone is covered under Battery. Now the penalties for Simple Assault and Battery can be $200.00 and 30 days in the jug since its considered a misdemeanor. However as you so boldly put it "You would smash a bottle over someone's head" puts you in the land of aggravated A&B which is a felony. You would then enjoy a max penalty of 10 years in prison. You don't sound like you have the intent to kill so you would not fall under the 20 yr penalty. My point being is that if ImpulseCaper or any other Talkbacker walks up to you and talks smack the smart move is to walk away. Cause you can only get in trouble. What you do is talk them into buying something from you on a credit card. Wait a few months then hunt them down and make them have an "unfortunate accident" You sound like you have a cool girlfriend so I'm sure she'll give you an alibi :)

...with the ABZ plates? It would be fun if it were a Honda... ...as in Ishiro Honda...

I would but for some reason my paypal seems to not be working.
but anyone whose game for it be my guest. just go to slushozoom.com and click on the BATH sign

Acually, Toho won't trust us with a Godzilla movie ever since the Matthew Broderick abortion of it. They want full control for the IMAX 3D one that's being made. It might be possible that this could be the trailer for it...
So thinketh the Prophet! -

In the trailor anyone notice the head didnt look torn of, it kind of looked sliced off at the neck. Its Voltron.
-
http://www.youtube.com/user/sideproduction have some association with all of this, but I can't see how.
-
In the trailor anyone notice the head didnt look torn of, it kind of looked sliced off at the neck. Anyway Im really thinking its Voltron too.

This one: "...cynical, holier-than-thou individuals be able to hurl insults at people they'll never meet while hiding behind the anonymity of a fake name..."

isn't that what the internet is for?
-
...probably do not mean Gayzilla, (although that would be fun) but what do they mean...? ...this looks like a Kaiju film not a Tokkusatsu film... ...but God, I would dearly love to see one of my alltime favourite Tokkusatsu heroes from the 70's revived... Ai no Senshi (Warrior of Love) RAINBOWMAN!!! The Japanese copyright holders have removed all the YouTube clips that used to be there so... this fansite is the best I can offer you for a glimpse of that colourful surreal series... http://incolor.inebraska.com/stuart/rainbowman/ ...please to fill spaces...
-
good thing my pay pal didnt work otherwise they would've been a quarter richer....
-
Yeah, the video channel just has a funny video, but the Web site, registered around the same time as all of this cloverfield stuff says something like "you've been warned". Someone told me it was registered by the same people as 01-18-08.com.
-
Thanks for the level-headed words of wisdom and the creative advice that followed. The thing is, this whole thing got blown way out of proportion. My original point was that I think it's ridiculous that people talk so much shit on here when I doubt they would behave that way in public for fear of repucussions...and that was all said under the (wrong, it would seem) assumption that people were really talking shit to one another and not just fucking around. That's all. There have certainly been times where things like racial/religious slurs have been hurled around in my direction or in my friends' direction, and on a few occassions that has resulted in physical confrontation. Not saying that's right or mature or whetever, but shit does happen...particularly when there is alcohol involved. The whole thing is irrelevant, since it seems like nobody was really getting pissed about it. I realize that at this point when I say I'd like to meet someone in person it sounds like a veiled threat, but it isn't. If someone from this TB approached me and was like "Hey, it's all just fucking around, man," my response would absolutely NOT be to hit them with my fist, a bottle, or anything else. Clearly, at that point they would be man enough to say anything at all, and I would be man enough to let whatever hard-feelings might have arisen out of a stupid misunderstanding go.
-
I thought it was for us to talk shit about crappy movies, etc., buy stuff we dont need and look at porn...not fuck with each other.
-
I'm not holier than thou...I'm just not a douchbag 2 year old that actually gets offended by the stupid shit people say on here like you. As a matter of fact, you have proven my point that all it takes are words for moron's like you to want to solve shit with violence. Maybe it's because they are too fucking stupid to actually resolve it any other way.The fact that you are still on here trying to prove how you would "break a bottle over someone's head" is just lame. Get over it, grow the fuck up, and for God sakes, wash that fucking sand out of your stinky vagina!
-
dick
-
Hey Slusho Slurpee...did you know there was a 3rd pic up now?! CHECK IT OUT!!haha
-
That part was pretty funny. I don't see how this actually got associated with Cloverfield and all of that.
-
picture? of what, where? what are we talking about.
-
Again, all this because of a misunderstanding. Yes, racial and religious slurs offend me anywhere. Yes, there have been times when I have responded to this kind of thing with physical action...and I'm not saying that's right or mature...it's just the truth. For the record, that was in my teens and early twenties. I'll be thirty this year and am not looking forward to any fights at all, save maybe some sport MMA fights, which is obviously a bit different. If the people on here were just fucking around, and nobody cared, then that's cool. And, while we're on the subject of misunderstandings, if you would read my original post--or the one I just directed at BillyPilgrim-- you will see that I am not encouraging anyone to do anything violent. Finally, I am not trying to "prove" that I would break a bottle over anyone's head, nor how "cool" I am. The whole thing is a misunderstanding. As far as I'm concerned, that is now over, and I sincerely look forward to meeting anyone on this TB in person given the opportunity, so hatchets can be buried once and for all. There are no hard feelings.
-
The situation reminds me of Robert E Howard's Conan. Conan was new to 'civilized' life and was amazed at how people treated each other with such disrespect. Freely giving insult and shoving people around. The person being insulted has to swallow his pride due to the fact the law would come down on any violent action taken. Thus the person giving insult can hide behind the 'civilized' rule of law. Conan commented that those things would never happen in Cimmeria. In Cimmeria you would simply be clubbed over the head with a large heavy object until you were respectful or it was thought that you "paid" for your insult. It was a funny Conan observation as to how uncivil civilized life can be.

just kidding

a point nodukes why don't you just drop the shit already. Why don't you go play guitar hero and drop it

You know, I DID almost put "no pun intended"...

You know I have to agree that the head looks like it has been cut not ripped off. Damn it i was having fun till i read that. MRX67 what are you talking about? Cheese, donkey, Paris and Manhattan? You lost me

Okay, listen up. I just watched the trailer again and I saw some incredible stuff. I had to go to some extremes to see what I saw, but it was worth it. While watching it I sat on a circular saw blade with the teeth up my crack, held a hanger in my left hand with saran wrap on it pointing to the ceiling, let a crab, with a hanger in its other claw, attach itself to one of my nipples, wrapped an extension cord around my neck and around a door knob, and spontaneously shoved a wire that was wrapped around my penis and the saw blade in and out of an electrical socket. What I saw was amazing!wait...that was just my normal Friday ritual.sorry guys, please disregard....
-
That gave me a chuckle.
-
I've been reading this thread for 3 days now, and it has gradually moved from the trailer and these websites to random arguments. Kind of lame. Maybe we can get back to trying to figure this thing out soon. I looked at the side production site and the youtube video, but couldn't really see anything there. Maybe someone else could take a better look at what I might be missing. Any new clues help I think.

WARNING to all of you out there: If you read the following then the mystery of J.J. Abram;s movie trailer is over.
The 1-18-08 trailer is for the new remake of the 1953 classic sci-fi film called "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" which is about a giant dinosaur-like creature that is awakened by a nuclear explosion and attacks New York.
The Slusho web site references beasts from the bottom of the sea, the painting on Noriko's site is titled "Beasts of the Sea." The Anti-Christ web site (and the Book of John) refer to the anti-Christ as being a beast that crawls from the sea. All of the 666 references even coincide with release date of the original movie which was June, the sixth month. Here's the clincher: In the trailer for 1-18-08 someone shouts out "It's Alive!" which is the exact same line that appears in a dialougue bubble in the original movie poster.
That's it. There is no reason to continue searching for clues on the web. Party is over. It should be a good movie though. -
FLAMES ON CTHULHU!!!
-
anyone notice that the new photo moves around by itself? or am i crazy
-
...an actual japanese soft drink, Ramune has a cute little whale on some bottle labels... here is a website... some of it's features remind me of Slusho.jp ... and weirdly enough there is a little Statue of Liberty logo on the site! ...this is a real softdrink and it has nothing to do with the film... but I think somebody at BadRobot has been drinking something... Japanese softdrinks or cheap liquor... ... I will be checking in from time to time... still hoping Wonka can follow up on some of my leads... ... but we are having guests tomorrow, and my husband will be unhappy if I don't get the house cleaned up before he gets back from his trip...
-
just got what you were talking about.
-
Web sites suggest jealous computer boat murders owner; which actually turned out to be more compelling than the stupid movie.
-
The last two updates to occur on Slusho.jp and 1-18-08.com were around 17:00 EST. So until then I don't think anything really new will be discovered.
-
where can I find said script
-
Where did you get this info? Do you mind sharing?
-
...what have I been drinking? http://www.musical-ramune.jp/ there. Now to go sweep and mop.
-
Don't be offended if no one is ready to say "case closed". We've been debating on here for days over every minute detail on every official and un-official web-site even slightly related to this project...and picking apart the trailer frame-by-frame. Personally, my problem with your theory has to do with all the explosions, etc. I guess I'm operating under the assumption that the monster is generating them...and I don't remember the "Beast" being able to do anything like that, although I haven't seen that movie since I was, like, nine.
-
We associate cheese with dick. We associate fish with vagina. thus Slusho webite is using subliminal sexual imagery to keep us fascinated... although in a stinky way...
-
"We associate the donkey or mule with Mexico, right...We associate cheese with the french." Are you kidding? I mean, I guess now that you mention it, I could associate cheese with France and donkeys with Mexico, but that isn't the first thing that springs to mind. And this whole thing is based on the assumption that JJ knows people are reading the Voltron script. I think we're all maybe making all this a lot more somplicated than it has to be.
-
You just make me throw up in my mouth.
-
AND more complicated
-
anyone investigating Side Production? I don't know if its definitely related like Brianwashdc says, but at least a lead worth following. The website just says "You've been warned..." Could mean something. I've just been reading, don't know how to look up info on these sites or mess with the pictures or anything, so do your thing I guess.
-
Did you notice I called you by your actual "name" this time? Consider it a peacepipe. I thought you were being a tool, but I guess you weren't...just missunderstood. Sorry man...I love you
-
Someone on imdb said these videos contain clues:
www.youtube.com/obloy -
California is fast becoming the largest producer of cheese in the US. The donkey is the symbol of the Democratic Party. So it must be a movie about a giant pissed off Diane Feinstein chasing down GW to force him to pull out of Iraq.
-
Starts delving into infantile necrophelia and rascism and Aushwitz!?!?Which reminds me of a joke: What's the difference between a truck load of bowling balls, and a truck load of dead babys?Give up?The difference is that it is almost impossible to unload a truck full of bowling balls with a pitch fork.I haven't anything to add except, if people are going to the Bible for clues why not treat 1-18-08 as the first book of the New Testament, which would be Matthew Chap 18 verse 8, which says:"Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend the, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hand or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire."Maybe, that is why the statue's head is cut off, it offended the creature.... or maybe the Bible wasn't intended to be a clue.
-
Nuff said. And by the way, after all of this (not just the petty bickering, but the endless speculation about this movie, too), would anyone really object to me smashing a bottle over JJ Abrams' head if this movie sucks ass? I'm just throwing that out there. 'Cause if THAT'S wrong, I don't want to be right.
-
You tell me how the blue oven mit figures into the Voltron theory and you will have won yourself a convert.
-
JJ Abrams has created an atmosphere ripe with violence and racism. I say we get a class action lawsuit prepared.
-
I'm listening...
-
General and everyone else,
I am not offended by your lack of belief but you are reading too much into the trailer. There is only one explosion in the trailer (not counting Liberty's head hitting the side of the building) and there is nothing in the trailer that infers the beast is creating the explosions other than by simply destroying something that is extremely flammable. And besides, movies have uneccessary and unlikely explosions for the sake of affect.
That aside, I am 42 and a huge fan of Kaiju and other giant monster sci-fi. About six months ago I read an internet article about the remaking of Beast From 20000 Fathoms but can't remember where I saw the article or who wrote but now it is gone from the web. The remake of said movie is the only logical answer. To Death on a Cracker - it can't be any sillier than LOST. -
I meant I'm listening about the California Dems v. Dubbya theory. But, shit, I'll bite on the lawsuit angle, too. Lion/Alive almost erupted into a full-blown, bottle-smashing race war.
-
neither the YouTube channel nor the actual video has a website listed... I can find no Side Production website in search engine...

ain't that the truth
-
Oh boy you're funny. You know for a seccond I thought you were totally serious.
-
Your argument has more holes than the cheese on Slusho.com. That's all I have to say on the matter. FYI : California has several of the world's largest cheese plants and produces nearly one out of every four pounds of cheese made in the U.S.
-
I bet JJ Abrams is posting on here, you know he's reading it. Alright show yourself....
-
I just looked up www.sideproduction.com since that was the name of the youtube account
-
On a serious note, unless I missed something while engaging in the absurd and completely unneccessary arguements that you all witnessed above, I was under the impression that Voltron was at another studio. Has this been refuted?
-
for the people on this thread that are sincerely into unraveling this mystery. since this thread may expire sometime ( especially since the absurd name calling has inevitably begun), we should start a myspace page that will be a permanent way to keep this going. does anyone agree with this? thanks.....
-
is it related? I'm so confused by this whole thing...
-
there is a new photo at 1-18-08.com
-
I'm ready to jump on any bandwagon that explains what the oven mit means. So let's hear it.
-
Anyone consider what is going on in the trailor, the explosions and whatever else is taking place by the Statue Of Liberty is a fight?Why would whatever is causing all the damage decide to throw the head of the Statue Of Liberty as far as he ould throw it? Maybe it was thrown at something maybe in the sky. More proof for us Voltron Movie groupies maybe. The director says a fight in Voltron takes place in Manhattan, thats a fact.
-
What gives you folks the idea that it's a Voltron movie? The panicked citizen in the street yells "It's alive! It's huge!." Not "It's a lion! It's huge!" If that's the only evidence of it being a trailer for Voltron then I don't buy it. No there isn't a lion in the Beast from 20000 Fathoms but doesn't prove anything. I think the "It's alive" line in the trailer coinciding with the one in the original movie poster says it all, besides all of the "beast from the sea" tie ins on the web.
-
disappointed because all of this mystery stuff is about 100x more fun than what that script review suggests.
-
effect in the Voltron script.
-
how did I know that if the talkback were going to devolve into insults, that InfantCaper would be right in the middle of it. you can always trust middle schoolers to be consistent.Voltron is a really silly idea. it's a separate film, and you can BET (as stated above) that no studio in the world would let a toy-selling megamovie like Voltron get made with camcorders for $30 million. please group yourself with the people that think it's about a giant, fireball hurling lion, and stop posting on here. this TB has to have SOME semblance of reality and logical thinking, or we will get nowhere. (oh wait, we already got nowhere...let's get some more logic then!)PROF, I checked out those people, I they are in my extended network, but so is, say, Nelly Furtado, so it doesn't mean much. I don't see any common friends that I could use.oh, and I do wear capri pants, isn't that kinda metro? if I had hair, I would be closer.someone said, "I think the explosion is the Statue of Liberty! and the fireballs were pieces of it, hence the head!" this is a perfect example of not thinking clearly, if at all. the explosion occurs when they were up on the roof. the statue's head flies in minutes later, when they're outside. it can't be part of the same event, can it? you gotta THINK LOGICALLY!also, I was thinking about the line in the trailer, "has anyone seen Genesis?" it seemed a little awkward, and so I thought about Genesis from the Bible, and if there might be, not necessarily a hint, but a little tidbit there.Genesis Chapter 1 verse 18:"...and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good."not much there, it's the last part of the section about God creating the sun and the moon and the stars...Genesis chapter 18 verse 1:"And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
and said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree."boooring! it's about the birth of Isaac. nothing there.BUT HERE'S SOMETHING PROF IKAMONO WILL LIKE!!!Genesis Chapter 18 verse 8:"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."animals? butter and milk? cheese? cows? Slusho?eh, OK, it's a coincidence probably, but I figured you'd get a kick out of it. -
Voltron! Voltron!

Sorry. I had trouble weeding through all of this BS fighting.

The Blue oven mitt is the keystone of my theory. The mitt shows that Feinstein's uncontrollable rage is to hot to handle. The color blue is symbolic of California being a "blue" or Democratic State. I hope that helps.

nothing to do with the movie quote...if this has already been mentioned im sorry lots of posts to go through but im tired of hearing its voltron...
Voltron is already in the works, release date sometime 2008, MarkGordon Productions, writer Justin Marks. -
SOLD!
-
please see all 12 irrefutable points in this TB, as to why this simply cannot be Voltron.thinking this is Voltron = not believing in evolution...if you don't let reality and logic get in your way, feel free to hope for Voltron...also, I sell plots of land on Mars, for when we colonize in the future...want to buy some?
-
I dont remeber seeing anything official by JJ Abrams, i might of missed it, saying the whole movie was shot n camcorders and the total budget is 30 million. for a movie under such tight security those a two major known facts to be out there. I think those were dropped into the www to confuse and misdirect. Its prolly not in camcoder and the budget is prolly 230 million cause its Voltron!
-
Its Thundercats!!
-
it's $100 an acre...SUPER CHEAP...come on, don't let logic get in the way!! trust your gut, not your, um, "brain"...!you know you want to live on Mars someday!
-
My work is done here.
-
a publicly traded complany? Because if it is, there might be a way for any "potential investors" to look up the projects/production budgets of the movies that Paramount currently has in the works. You know, to decide if you want to invest in Viacom or not, based on how well you think their current properties are going to do in terms of returns on dollars spent.
-
Born Free. Hence the Lion quoteOr it's something to do with a remake of the Wizard of Oz but updated and made 'more realistic' as seems to be the trend of the day

The earth was created 5000 yrs ago and in only seven days, everyone kows this is a fact. Does your plots have a good view of the Pyramids?
-
who owns Side Production? Are they involved with making this film? Brianwashdc, if you're still on, where did you get your info that they're involved? The video on youtube is funny, but doesn't seem related, but then the website seems as mysterious as the other Cloverfield sites. I'm so confused...
-
During normal, un-exceptional days the ESB is lit white. During the holiday season, the ESB is green on top and red on the bottom (don't think 1/18 still constitutes as "holiday season.") but in the trailer it's all green which is for St. Patrick's Day, March of Dimes, Rainforest Awareness, and Earth Day (I had to look this up). None of these days is near or around 1/18.In the trailer what is also strange is the fact that the ESB is even lit...for it normally turns off every night at midnight.
This probably doesn't have ANY significance because it's probably just a production oversight than anything else. Vaguely interesting.And it's not fucking Voltron! -
no need to drop the f bomb. Shit

you can even see Voltron from your front lawn!

damn I can't wait for this bad ass Voltron movie JJ Abrams is making to come out.
-
Don't use that strong of a letter on here...it offends me!You fucker
-
someone just joked that they were because they wrote a long post.and no it wasn't me.and mostly my posts are long, because if I'm gone for a long time, I usually have comments on a lot of posts.you kids don't have much to do during the summer, huh?
-
maybe, but im not so sure. if lost sucks ass to you, then you are probably not going to like this film folks. this film could be so off the wall that no theory here posted even touches the truth of the story. j.j. abrams is not just going to put his name on a sci-fi type supernatural themed movie unless it is really good. yeah, his name is attached to felicity, i know that. j.j. abrams is directing the next installment of star trek folks. this will be a good movie. i bet most of the theories on here are way off. abrams is lauging right now. he is not stupid.he needs sci fi "geek" cred for his star trek movie. he is not going to put out a cheesy godzilla type monster flick...just my opinion....
-
Why would he go through all this trouble getting us losers with nothing better to do looking up crap on the internet day and night for it to be something we'd never recognize anyway. This has to be something we would recognize once all the pieces were there. Word
-
...doesn't have its own website yet... which is kinda odd. But here is a news release from parent company Suntory: http://www.suntory.co.jp/news/2007/9803.html ...and here thankfully in English for those of you who do not understand Japanese is the entry for Kappa at the marvelous Obakemono Project site: http://www.obakemono.com/obake/kappa/ ...it seems I was wrong... DO NOT TAKE A CUCUMBER WITH YOU ANYWHERE NEAR THE WATER IN JAPAN!!! Don't even eat a cucumber within a few hours of swimming! It attracts the fucking things... and they will use the cucumber as an appetiser before chowing down on your anus...
-
I don't know about "cheesy godzilla type monster flick", but I think 99% of the people talking about this movie anywhere on the web are convinced it is about a giant monster of some kind...which would only ADD to his geek cred if you ask me. If not a giant monster of any kind, what do you think it is...or do you just feel it's too early to speculate at all? Any theories?
-
Well at least the heat is off me for a while...thank God for Wonka. Now I can focus on wasting my time speculating about this ridiculous movie, as opposed to wasting it bickering with total strangers. Or doing something productive.
-
I wasn't around. But what are the chances the people in the trailor, including Rob wont even be in the movie? Do we all think this movie is going center around some random guy moving to Japan for work? No its gonna center around 5 Robot Lions! Seriously though......
-
Ok, I'm not saying you're right, but those are some good issues that you raise. I still don't think it's Voltron, but it's nice to see someone pushing this theory who isn't basing it on the fact they think they heard "lion" in the trailer.
-
Robot -- Rob
concidence? i think not
Voltron
-
but instead it's heads of statue of liberty. Hmmm if this theory is true I'm not sure I'll pay money to see it - and I paid money to see AVP
-
the new pic on 1-18-08 is rotating like the others did. didn't the second pic stop rotating right around when the third pic was added? seems like a countdown of some sorts if you ask me...
-
Activate interlocks! Dyna-therms connected. Infra-cells up; mega-thrusters are go!
Let's go voltron force! -
i cant even begin to understand what is causing the calamity. the statue of liberty head might be a major clue. i personally dont have time to rape the internet like some people on this thread do. this trailer is fucking genius. its one of the best trailers ever produced....
-
Surely Pete's Dragon is the best . . .well it got me to go to the cinema.
-
Has anyone noticed that on the new pic posted (yes there is a new pic posted we have established this already)that the 2 people on the right have their faces covered and their arms form an V for voltron
-
... while the passage of Abram (not yet Abraham, JJ Abrams?) entertaining the Angel of the Lord... (Genesis makes it sound like it was the Lord himself - but Theologians dispute this - the Angel Metatron appears and speaks for the Lord when He needs to make personal appearances) is indeed tantalising... ...what is heard in the Trailer sounds more like "Where's Jason", "Where's Jensen", or "Where's Jenkins"... ...I mean in a situation like that people will be looking for their friends who are missing... ...I suppose a very religious person might whip out their Bible in times of crisis and look up their favourite verses for comfort... BUT, a devoutly religious person would not be so silly as to say "where's Genesis" It's only on the first page of the Book! it's as eary to find as Revelation - which is at the end of the Book... They're more likely to say "Where's the Second Epistle to the Colossians" or something... that one's kind of hard to find if your thumbing through a Bible while fleeing for your life from a Giant Lion/Lizard/Oven Mitt/Fill in Your Favoutite Guess Here....
-
you almost had me looking for a robot Lion to jump into and start whooping Roebeast ass!Its Voltron, I've convinced myself
-
Has anyone else noticed that there are over 2175 posts here
-
Did anyone already discuss that in the trailer the Fraternity paddle is especially lighted right when they start to look out the window? The letters are AKM. Any thoughts or discussion on this?
-
All the signs point to this:
-Rainbow on the snorkels
-Light circles on the guys shirt in the trailer, obviously those are the beginnings of some rainbows
-Dude says "it's alive!" , because rainbow bright is a living being
-ethan haas was right, because ethsan haas was the first one to steal rainbow bright's virginity
-1-18-08, because that's the date that rainbow bright will be penetrated with the statue of liberties head in the porno "Rainbow Bright White Cum" -
just went on there and paused it at 4 mins and 12 seconds and saw a lion and he looked kind of big. This is so going to be the Digby / Born Free crossover we have all dreamt of
-
"How hard do you think it would be to get a national boycott of the Slusho movie?" Probably pretty hard, given the fact that only people with way too much time on their hands even know what the fuck Slusho is. I do think that there have to be some people at Paramount who are REALLY regretting taking JJ's ideas about surrounding the movies hype with all this mystery into consideration. I mean, if this ISN'T Godzilla or Voltron or Cthulhu, then we are all getting hyped for a movie that doesn't exist, and none of us are getting hyped for the movie Paramount's really puting out. So in a way, even though people are talking about this movie all over the net, this is the most unsuccessful misfire of a marketing attempt ever. If that makes any sense.
-
If this turns out to be anything other than Godzlla/Voltron/Cthulu, this whole thing will backfore on him. I base this on going to a lot of other boards, and everyone on them is only going with those 3 choices also. So its an entire www opinion. thats a lot of f'n people.
-
I was just assuming it was a girl named Genesis that he was looking for...not an actual bible, derrrrrand since when you write a movie, you can name a girl anything you want...if you choose a name that's also a book in the bible, I was thinking it might have a connection. but I didn't really find one, as you saw.we finally ended the goddamn "it's a lion" talk, and now Voltron is back? do these people not understand that a voltron movie is in the works, probably currently in pre-production OR already filming, and is by a completely different studio? not to mention a kid's toy movie, wall on camcorders, all dark and ominous, is so preposterous, it's laughable? who ARE these people and how do they manage to turn their computers on?
-
Martin and the Giant Lions by Caron Lee Cohen. So if you are not familiar with the source material what can you look forward to? Martin and the Giant Lions celebrates a child’s triumphant foray into the unknown. Sounds like fun for all . . much better than a Voltrans or Chuchlu
-
I give JJ props for wanting to do things a little differently and not wanting to spoon feed the public like virtually everything else does. But I definitely see this backfiring UNLESS the movie is a bona fide fucking classic. If it is really that great, then all hopes of Voltron/Godzilla/Cthulhu will be forgotten and people will embrace it. Otherwise, people will feel like they've been deliberately mislead, even if that's not really the case.
-
After further review. In the picture with Rob there are a lot of V's for Voltron. In the other picture with the 2 different girls there really isn't shit except the girl on the rights mouth forms a V, and their hair touching forms a V.
Who else is on the band wagon with me????????? -
if you been reading a strong argument has been made for it being Voltron that has nothing to do with "its a Lion" line. whats you idea genius?

THE LEON NEMEIOS

You write a lot but still don't say anything. We are having fun here. By the way I press the power button to turn my computer on

I have to agree with an earlier post: the scenes and characters in this trailer might not even show up in the film. They could just be a distraction. The Rob character's trip to Japan could be a distraction from instead of allusion to Japanese Anima or Kaiju concepts. One thing is for sure; it's not Voltron. You "kids" are still reeling from Transformers and are stuck in that train of thought. Put the pipe down! Like myself, Abrams is a a sci-fi and he knows the classics. Let go of Voltron and the eighties while you're at.

Yes in fact I did. My contribution was "THE END"

Spell check that and repost it. It makes less and less sense towards the end

"i cant even begin to understand what is causing the calamity. the statue of liberty head might be a major clue. i personally dont have time to rape the internet like some people on this thread do. this trailer is fucking genius. its one of the best trailers ever produced...."
C'mon if JJ didnt write this post earlier who did? -
... in the trailer after the first roar when they all go out on the terrace you hear clearly a woman say: "What kind of anime sounds like that?" Well, not Pokemon! That's for sure!
-
Giant lions mane jellyfishWell I see no arguments against any of these theories so they must be as strong as Voltrans of Chuchlu
-
look. Totally boss eyed.

if you think it's Voltron, you are ignoring reality. it is your right to do that, if you choose. but please don't infect people's minds, minds that should be using logic and reasoning to try to figure out clues about this film, with nonsensical ideas about how a movie being filmed by another studio, with another director, another writer, another producer, and other actors...is somehow the same as this movie.here is the imdb listing for the Voltron movie...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472429/and heeeeere is the imdb page for Abrams 1-18-08 movie:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/Voltron is a kid's toy movie, same as Transformers. it would NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER be made with camcorders, a relatively low budget, relatively unknown actors, etc., as 1-18-08 (or whatever it ends up being called in reality) is.if you believe this is Voltron, you are not using your brain. and again, it's you're right to ignore reality, logic, imperical reasoning, etc. it's america! you can believe what you want, even in the face of enormous data contradicting your beliefs! (look at creationists).but don't pretend you're being logical. just eat your peanut butter, hum the Voltron theme song, and jerk off...have a grand ol' time, but don't make the mistake of thinking that you're making any goddamn sense, or contributing anything here.enjoy the peanut butter...
-
the reason i like this trailer so much is that it doesnt spoon feed the answers. i just watched the trailer a few more times, and i am desperately trying to imagine voltron behind the buildings, and im just not happy with that. if it is voltron or godzilla, i will be disappointed. i think the lovecraft theory is way off. i dont give a fuck if everyone on this thread trashes the final product when it is released, i think this is going to be something out of left field. bad robot logo? abrams wouldnt put that on this trailer if this isnt a motherfucking classic. my classic films are not always liked by the herd anyway, so i dont give a fuck about reviews.
-
Exit Mystery St indeed.... Now the sign with Dead Dead spray painted on the back makes complete sense.

Dude, I can barely turn on my computer... oh yeah, I forgot, nodukes told me to ignore you... ...never mind!
-
maybe I missed it, but in our search for clues, did we not stop and enjoy the hilarity of the fact that the supposed director for this, Matt Reeves, also wrote and directed "The Pallbearer" with David Schwimmer and Gwyneth Paltrow?not a clue, but pretty fucking funny, if you ask me...
-
Zionists wrote. Goddamn Zionists trying to take over the goddamn world

What evidence suggests that this is a Voltron film?
-
BadMrWonks seals the fate of the Voltronaholics. However, I will never put down the pipe. Alan Sorkin didn't. Why should I? History will bear me out and on or before 1-18-08 I will be proven right. If I were Abrams why would I reveal the answer to what movie i am releasing and ruin my extensive (and expensive) internet marketing plan? The Beast from 20000 Fathoms is back! Accept it.

But not characters. lil mike You mean you need more that "I seen it, It's A Lion, its Huge?

I hate Lost, I hated Alias, and I hated Mission Impossible III. I did see J.J. Abrams on Dinner for Five on IFC with Jon Favreau, and he seemed like a nice guy, but I've never really liked much that he's done.as for IMDB, you are completely wrong. it is not wikipedia, it is SO HARD to get data approved, or changed, unless you're a studio bigwig, or you wait 3 months. trust me, this is coming from a guy with a lot of credits that should be on IMDB, that I can't get them to recognize because I'm too low on the totem pole. after Visionfest at the DGA thoug, I'm sure "Henri" will be on there.at any rate, IMDB.com is as good a source as any, perhaps not for specific details, but to prove that 2 projects are separate and distinct, it's more than sufficient.if you think I'm lying, go ahead and just START the process of trying to get something up there on imdb.com...I guarantee 10 minutes down the line you will give up and admit it's nearly impossible to get false info up there.
-
I'm against anyone trying to take over the world. I can also do 'goddamn christians, goddamn muslims, goddamn royalists, goddamn roundheads, goddamn tudors' etc etc etc. You get the point

...somebody way up there about 2000 posts back or so, disputed any possibilty of Cthulhu becuse "Cthulhu has nothing to do with Japan" ...I could refer you to all kinds of wonderful Japanese Lovecraftian fiction (check out the Lairs of the Hidden Gods series of books) but I think I shall turn you on to this amazing blog from Japan in English: www.pinktentacle.com It's not specifically Lovecraftian - but it does go there sometimes... the more you explore this amazing blog the weirder the world becomes... it's like in Uzumaki when you start obsessing with spirals... check out what you find if you search for "jellyfish" for example... http://www.pinktentacle.com/tag/jellyfish ... just wonderfully weird shit to amuse you umtil the next picture shows up on 1-18-08.com
-
I don't think this is it, however, it could be cool. After reading the script review at Latinoreview, I'm actually looking forward to it.
But sorry, deluded as I may be, I'm hoping for Cthulu....or at least Yog Sothoth (and New Yorkers break into dance as the blind piper seduces them after destroying their city in a fit of Pique).
-
people can believe it's Voltron if they want, I've said this like 5 times. I can say Indy 4 and Shrek 5 are the same film, can't I? if I want to believe it, who's to stop me?but that doesn't mean it's not nonsensical and impossible within the reality we inhabit. the same is true of Voltron. it's a separate movie, it is not this movie. those are facts. if you want to ignore them, you go right ahead. but don't expect people, including myself, not to laugh at you, brother.I'm just hoping when middle school starts in the fall, we'll have a new talkback that is Voltron free...I can't quite imagine anyone over the age of 13 really thinking the Voltron idea is plausible...
-
if you hate j.j. abram's work so much, why are you on this thread? i know you will just throw schoolyard insults at me, but really, think about it. this film is a j.j. abrams produced film. admit it, you are here to be a constant irritant. this thread was so good initially. come on guys, there are clues that we haven't uncovered yet.
-
But that's what I'm saying, Wonka may be belligerent in his naysaying, but that doesn't make him any less accurate. Volton is being worked on by Mark Gordon, Pharrell Williams, Mark Costa, Frank Oelman and Justin Marks. None of these people are involved in this film. And no, that's not information garnered from imdb, either. Try Variety magazine amongst other reputable sources. I know you said MRX67 is really the one to direct this at, but all you people saying it is or could be Voltron are WAY off track. I want you to show me evidence to the contrary. Or better yet, devote your time to finding more clues in the trailer.
And santi01, don't start that shit again. It's "alive." Period. You don't like it, go schedule an appointment with your ear doctor. I am way beyond having lost my patience on that topic, and the evil imp and the yellow lady and all that other nonsense. -
Digby remake with a lion. JJ will hav dropped the ball again if this ain't his film

the pic on top (the most recent on my tab) is moving....and seems to be speeding up.

Using all the capped words from J.J. Abram's letter to form an anagram I've deduced the most probable title or concept for this movie. ASS+THAT+FOUND+AICN = A SHAFT IN CUNT SODA
-
what are you talking about? have you READ this talkback? I'm immensly excited for this film. you have completely lost the plot if you think I am simply a "constant irritant"...that spot is held by Soylent Mean, by the way...I haven't liked Abrams' stuff before, but I don't think it's because he's a hack, it just hasn't been my style. I'm ready to have my mind changed.go up and read my posts in this TB, and you'll see I'm as excited as anyone about this film, and about finding out more clues/websites.we like to make sure we know what we're talking about before we post, don't we?
-
constant irritant is a star trek t.o.s. quote. i admit, i was just trying to get a laugh with that one. "i saw it, it's a lie, and it's huge".........
-
you do NOT simply need a link to a website, trust me, man. perhaps that is enough for a feature, but for shorts, even when they've been in half a dozen reputable film festivals, they still put you at the bottom of the list, and you wait forever. I'm happy to wait though, I was just using it as an illustration of the fact that not just anyone can add/adjust info on IMDB.com, as you implied. fake film festivals and their links do NOT work for adding material. I supposed there might be tricks for adding your name onto existing material, but I've never tried that. ALL OF THAT IS IRRELEVANT ANYWAY, because the point is, for a big studio project, it is next to impossible for someone to just "hack it" or change info. only the studio can do that. therefore, it's as valid as anything for major information.and you wrote: "So dont throw around your, "I'M COOL CAUSE I REALLY WORK ON MOVIES-- NOT LIKE THE REST OF YOU DORKS THAT SALIVATE FROM AFAR," bullshit. You think that adds credibility to anything you say cause you're some director's fluffer?"first off: I never said anything like that, or implied it. I only mentioned my situation with IMDB because you challenged it as a source.secondly, I have never worked as a director's fluffer (does it pay well?). and those people on AICN that actually know me, know what I have in the works. big things, kiddo. but I didn't lord them over you or anyone on here. so the false accusations just to get more attention out of me keep on rolling in, don't they?do me a favor. if you want to have a little AICN talkback battle of the wits, try not to lose the plot and make senseless, erroneous statements. it makes me feel like I'm having a boxing match with a sleepy kitten...

And the monster is clearly Howard Dean. Apparently he saw Dave Chappelle's parody of his infamous speech and loved it so much that he knocked ol' Lady Liberty's head off with an overzealous, "BEEYAH!"
'Nuff said. -
Ah I missed that one. Yea I second that motion - most retarded statement on this TB. Even more retarded then the lion, imp, yellow lady, etc, arguments. Oh and let's not forget Voltron. I still think my Howard Dean prediction will come true ;) Haha.
-
Hey BadMrWonka - that middle school comment was hilarious and acurate. These are children we are dealing with. Those who want to boycott a movie just because the blind faith they put in a sixty second trailer may not pan out for them in the end are imature at best. So what if it's not Voltron? Maybe it's something better. Maybe it's not Beast From 20000 Fathoms (which it is) but whatever it is, it has peaked my interest enough to participate in this geek log. Answers will be had this January. In the meantime, all of you Voltronaholics can pull your Voltron pajama sets out from under the bed in anticipation. Just don't wet yourselves.

Japan? Hello Kitty?

"MrBadWonka hats ImpulseCaper" is

early in the talkbacks (about position 30) gave us the slusho thing, which is the only thing we know for sure, and then quietly went away?

more from Scudo.
I know others have suggested setting up a MySpace Page and one guy set up a "what we know so far" type page on his personal blog. But, I'm getting weary of guys popping on here and saying things like "Could 1-18-08 be a biblical reference?" or Voltron or Thundercats or whatever has been suggested a million times.
What about setting up our own wiki page with arguments for or against Voltron, Same Girl, Lion/Alive, Slusho, New Pix, etc.?
I mean actual arguments as opposed to "Not the same girl, anyone who thinks it is the same girl is a retarded monkey!" -
1-18-08 stuff!--2258 total posts

How the fuck can you think this is Voltron. Lets ignore that the guy clearly says "alive" and the massive amount of evidence against it being Voltron. Why would you put together such a mysterious marketing campaign and then have someone say what the creature is in the first teaser?

i think a myspace page is a good idea. it would be an easy way to keep some sort of permanent record of what is being discussed here. if you have time to make a myspace page, post the url on here. the threads on this site are just too easy for the bad apples to post on. at least with a myspace page we could post the trailer, pics of the cast, and reject the stupid comments. i think it is a good idea.....
-
Saying, "There is a massive amount of evidence against it being Voltron." is not providing evidence at all.

One way or another, no matter what this movie turns out to be, there are going to be people who hate it. There are going to be people who think the idea sucks, and it should have been something else. There WILL be the inevitable "eh, it didnt live up to the teaser, or thats not what i was expecting"
SO putting all speculation aside, what do you people actually want this movie to be about???? What will make you smile the day they announce the name?
-
I provided plenty of evidence just a few posts up - Namely that no one involved in Voltron is involved in this film. And Impulse, I think I may still have the original bootleg trailer somewhere. He does NOT say "lion" in it. Let's not get into this again, please. That topic has already been exhausted. I'm not even going to begin telling you the numerous reasons why that line makes no sense.
-
I do like anagrams as a source of amusement, though people get a little carried away with them for the sake of actual "evidence" of clues or conspiracies. probably because they're used too often in lame movies...here are a few anagrams of SkeletonParty, all of which are applicable to your role in this talkback. some of them strangely accurate! ;o)

No shit, why would I bother repeating what was already posted.

it's about the latest wrestler to kill himself in a roid rage. Go Giant Haystacks . . . you were always my fave

Why would you make things up? When I saw it on July 2nd it was "alive," and in the bootleg of the theatrical release it was "alive."

Someone said earlier after the update to the slusho site that the music is available under the "downloads" section, but I don't see it. Anyone know where it is? I need it for...research...yeah...

is totally offset by the fact that rob's party looks like the waiting room for THE OC casting. beautiful, handsomely-groomed people with a ridiculously expensive apartment. i hope cthulhu murders all of them.

voltronblog has been updated!!!!
it now has the date 011808 added in simple html.
it has a youtube video called "black" that has that
crapy 011808 cloverfield feel to it.
viewing the source name sven is hidden in the page.
the name of the background image is "notlost.jpg"
when you look at the entire image it looks like the
crest of voltron.
Just a Heads up -
how did you know my real name?man, I gotta stop drinking...
-
... I'm sorry you must have misunderstood me... I meant that before the Slusho update the weird music that was playing stopped when you clicked on the downloads page... you just saw those children swinging back and forth from their kites in dead silence... since the upgrade last night the background music has been on every page of Slusho... including the downloads page... I never meant to suggest that there was music available for downloading...
-
You know, I'm starting to dig that idea. Fuck it, I'm on the beast train!
-
seriously, it's a very loose remake
-
Just a thought, no real facts to support it, but that hasn't stopped anyone else, so... Do you guys think this could be another movie shot in real time? It would make sense in terms of the photos having the time posted on them. I mean, regardless of the monster, whether it is one we know or not, shooting the movie in real time and ONLY from the perspective of the people expriencing it would definitely be a different take on the whole thing. (Hopefully, it would not be as bad as previous real time attempts) Feel free to start shooting down the idea ;)
-
I meant in the movie, the time would be like real time, ie 10 minutes mass while watching the movie to us, and 10 minutes elapse in the world of the film. Sorry, should have been more clear...
-
im meant 10 minutes PASS... Damn spelling
-
Like I said, would be a different take on the genre. No neat and tidy ending, either...

Must be from all the drinking. :)
First I think the "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" is a pretty good call, now I'm considering how cool a real time approach could be.
I mean, done right, watching devastation like the trailer promises unfold on a beat for beat time frame could be powerful stuff.
Good call, historygirl. -
First off Will, I think Kurzinski Valentine simply followed the clues... ...You mentioned "Henri" in an earlier post... you talked about making shorts... googling around or such... or searching YouTube on a hunch... would turn up Henri by Will Braden. If Kurzinski got to YouTube, he would have seen the comments I've left on your videos and channel... and then the jig really would have been up... I identify myself there as Prof Ikamono from AICN and you as BadMrWonka... so sorry if my enthusiastic posting on your YouTube channel led to people finding out who you are... but then you did mention "Henri" yourself... I find it amusing... having "known" you for awile on different TB's that people here are calling you "whiny old bitch" or "grumpy old man" etc. painting you as this ill-tempered curmudgeon without a sense of humour... that just makes me laugh. as for ImpulseCaper, he's just not worth bothering about... He is just trying to get a rise out of you - as he tries to get a rise out of me - or out of anybody he can... Consider for example his contretemps with me this morning... After some silly post about cheeseburger which I responded to in a properly silly fashion by quoting a famous lolcat... Impy posted a very long copypaste from some website on the history of Auschwitz which was an odd thing to post here... go back and read my initial reaction... it's not an attack, or a flame, I'm not calling Impy an asshat or a fucktard... I simply wanted to know if 1. he was trying to get everybody to be serious instead of silly, 2. he actually had some information about a connection with 1-18-08, or 3. he was trying to make a joke. My point was only that if he was trying to make a joke it just wasn't very funny. I made no personal attacks in that post at all, just said "not funny". He then attacked me. I took the bait and struck back... which is exactly what he wanted me to do. Everytime you respond to his bullshit, you give him what he wants. He probably knows damn well this is not, and could not be Voltron - but he knows insisting on it will get a rise out of you. look how he picked a fight with Gen. Jack - he's very good at getting a misrepresentation of somebody picked up by other TalkBackers - he got the poor 'ol Gen. looking like some kind of violent bitchslapping thug, like he was Demon Dave or somebody... ...no, nodukes gave me the best advice... don't let the terrorists win, ignore Impy and his type, they will always pollute these TBs - but the rest of us can still enjoy ourselves by simply not bothering with them...

I'm glad some other people are getting onboard the "Beast" train. When I posted that idea at 3:02pm today I caught a lot of flack but I am sure I will be vetted. Besides the beast refrences on the Anti-Christ, Slusho and Noriko web sites and the "It's Alive!" exclamation in the trailer there is one more clue in the trailer that may tie in directly with the original 20000 Fathoms movie. I'll post later after I can confirm. The trailer is awsome and I can't wait for the movie no matter what it turns out to be.

Good to see you sill here. Did I miss anyhing important on my absence?

...I'd been meaning to ask ya... now that everybody knows your name and all. Are you related to anybody who might have taught high school math in Honolulu? I had this really weird Algebra teacher named Mr. Braden - he was bald too. He was a bit of a prick, and was also a fanatical fundamentalist - if he is a relative - knowing him could turn anybody into a rationalist out of self defense...

I found a couple of anagrams that are a little too convenient to be a coincidence...from the Ethanhaas.org site- there is a link to "The Hanso Foundation" (which shows a definite LOST connection)--but if you rearrange the letters in "The Hanso Foundation" you get "Ethan found a host ion"--interesting indeed (off-topic- if you add an L to Ion you get "ethan found a host lion" which shows some connection to those of us who swear we heard the word "Lion" in the theatrical trailer as opposed to alive. Another anagram i found was on the slusho site...which tells us "You can't drink just six" this phrase is awkwardly worded which lends itself to an anagram which approximately changes to "A industry's toxic junk"--or something close to that...thoughts besides i have too much time on my hands at work?

Greetings from Ireland! I must say all this "cloverfield" business is annoying the hell out of me. The problem with viral marketing is that other fakers jump on the bandwagon creating more and more sites or posting spurious ideas that other people believe, thus creating false hope for a movie or project which ultimately might lead to dissappointment. Being viral marketing, we cant hope for JJ or anyone else to rubbish these ideas. The ethan haas sites seem to be a red herring, possibly from another project, thus the videos were pulled from youtube rather than confusing 2 different movies. However, after much dicking around, and thanks to THIS fan site. slusho.org, Ive put some stuff together, which didnt take much of a brain.
Apocalypse? End of the world? Seems to be. Not godzilla, no blob, no remake of "the stuff" (although the similarities to the slusho drinks history are interesting)
But heres something no ones picked up on. At least not completely. One of the links there has someone looking for a car, with a New York Plate ABZ 3293 which "has an item, that is considered a family heirloom." Fine and dandy, so whats the big deal?
Some bright spark checked on wikipedia for the date, january18. Nothing unusual. But in the CACHE in google, you can see quite clearly there WAS a post. It said: 512 - Anastasius Balkin Zeno is brutally murdered after predicting the Apocalypse will occur on this date in 2008.
ABZ? Hence the car plate. Of course, ABZ never existed....hmmm.....What is JJ doing to us? LOL Personally i think the whole thing sounds great, though might just overshadow the return of Lost to television. Food for thought though...the hunt is still on. -
oh and Prof, I maybe have some truly ridiculously amazing news in med september. I may get to direct the 2nd script I sold! (admittedly it would be SAG ultra-low, $200,000 total budget, and I wouldn't make much more than what I'll probably get paid for the script, but who cares!)so cross your fingers. I'm in seattle for a few weeks, then new york for a film event, then back in LA and I have a meeting on the 15th. ooooh man, I am so nervous. the agent that set up the deal for the script (nice lady, but refreshingly, and yet disturbingly blunt) actually had the stones to go, "I can honestly tell you it's pretty much 50/50. it'll just depend on whether it's you for $200,000, or someone else for $2 mil."so I get a coin flip for the biggest step in my career thus far? great, I'll have that to suck on for almost 2 months until I find out.I suppose though, even if I don't get to direct it, it'll get me some more writing gigs. still though...I come from such low budget backgrounds, I can stretch a dollar SO far...$200,000? fuck's sake, I can make that look like gold. just give me an hvx200, a decent lighting tech, some decent actors and an AD who's on top of shit. I want to be the first indie director with a SAG ultralow production that brings it in under budget. I'll hand them like $400 cash fom the surplus. you know a studio exec would have a chuckle at that. what a story!ok, back to West Wing. post hoc, ergo proptor hoc!
-
very small family. certainly no fundamentalists in Hawaii. but my grandma was kinda racist.and I'm not bald, I'm baldING!! I still have a decent amount on top, I just hate my hairline, so I shave it all. ;o)
-
...the SUV which was hit by the head of lady liberty was ABZ 3293.
-
Congradulations! I hope it does well! I wrote a script, once, but too much of it required a huge budget. But it sounds like you've gotten it together and I wish you luck!
So blesseth the Prophet! -
I will not scold you for not reading all 2000 freaking posts here... ...Yes the Anastasius Balkin Zeno thing was discussed a long time ago... ... but what makes that so silly is... The Byzantines never switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in use today... So even if there had been an Anastasius Balkin Zeno ... if he predicted Jan 18th - that date would be months off today!
-
Isnt it obvious? This film is the long awaited sequel to power rangers the movie. James gandolfini will play zordon. You know this to be true.
-
Regardless of how the film turns out, that teaser trailer is truly brilliant- its a mysterious and cool promo thats got people guessing , speculating and even arguing. Cant wait to see the film , whatever the hell it is .

well, don't know if it's a fake site or not, but there is a site which uses the license plate # found by niemand13.

apologies...theres so much unrelated stuff i skimmed. :( Thing is, if the car and plate are important, that means that SOL head was thrown there on purpose? That said entity was after that person? I think people are starting to go down the right avenues, would be such a shame to see it was a movie version of Barney the purple dinosaur....
-
Just got done playing the Overlord demo on the 360. Did we find anything new yet or should I go back to my videogames?
-
Actually that sounds plausible, with the one guy saying "This is going to be one hell of a night", maybe the whole movie is just about the attack, and we won't get any huge amount of info on the possible mythos of the monster.Has anyone got any news on alternate websites? I would think that we would be getting more than all these fake sights people are putting up. Maybe, I'll start a BS webpage, just to be one those guys.
-
I know my last post was damn silly... but this time I'm not sure if the stars might not be getting right... ...in addition to The Bloop (no not the TalkBacker who keeps posting that Nancy stuff - the REAL Bloop the mysterious underwater noise recorded where R'lyeh is supposed to be) there have been a lot of weird cephalopoidal goings on in the ocean... check out this blog that has links to many sources of bizarre squidly things going on of late... http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/richardberry/index.php/heraldsun/comments/when_giant_squids_invade1/ ...what could all this mean...?

Do they expect us to believe this? Where is that explosion happening? Ground Zero!!!
On the roof, judging from the angel of the Woolworth building they are not on Broadway! They are further east. Flaming death starts raining down on them hitting buildings and the street. When they emerge on the street they are on Broadway!!! And no debris, no craters, and no dust cloud, nothing from the death that just missed them on the roof. Isn’t January the middle of winter? Where is the snow? Not even a cold breath from the girls in the strapy dress’ on the roof and street, who must have left their coats inside in all the commotion. Then the SOL head. For it to come down the center of Broadway at that angle it would have had to come from battery park, According to my spline. No matter what dummywood does to NY, we all know what a disaster in New York looks like!!! So unless the SOL’s head was filled with jet fuel it will not explode on impact!!!
-
maybe there was a huge gas leak in the building.
-
The movie releases in January but who say thats when the movie takes place. And as for Snow I live less then 300 miles from NYC and it only snowed here in philly like twice this year and don't believe either time was in January. As for the SOL head what ever ripped its head of Could have Carried it anywhere they wanted before fling the hell out of it or it Could be Giant Nolan Ryan throwing one hell of a curve ball.
-
breached a gas line on impact.
-
something that is alive and huge and roars starts of at the SOL, if it came by sea, it decided to skip lower New York and Jersey. It rips the head of the SOL, takes it to JFK to fill it with jet fuel, goes to ground zero to cause an explosion, then tipy-toes over to battery park and tosses the SOL head. With an angle from east to west this thing that is alive and huge is a righty?
-
... that is what causes NY to be unseasonably warm... ...it also causes the Arctic Icecaps to melt and releases the GIANT POLAR BEAR!!! that wreaks havoc on the city... Al Gore was right... hmmmm just thought of something disturbing.... environmentalism, the name al gore ... + head. Head is Arabic is ras... al gore... Ras Al Gore??? Holy Overweight Politicians! Somebody turn on the Bat-Signal!
-
We must protect the master while he is in the Lazarus Pit, KILL HIM!
-
If you are watching cars smash into walls in a movie they will exploding on impact. if you are watching COPS, cars smashing into walls end with a pretty funny chase of a guy in a wifebeater.

couldn't resist.

Heh heh.

Especially the dildo part. *cocks gun*
Prof. Ikamono, I look foward to your posts and this one was no exception. Bravo! lol
So saith the Prophet! -
I know that the name Godzilla has been bandied about a great deal, and before you pop me on the noggin, I know that Toho is not allowing the proerty to be used for some time. However, I've found SOME information (wiki and youtube, not the most reliable) that the American Godzilla (from the '98 movie) has actually been dubbed "Zilla", and is different from Godzilla in many ways. The property was last used in Godzilla: Final War. (again, from what I here)...so my question to you, given some similarities, could this be our mystery monster?
I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of this, but its intrigueing...

I'm still rooting (perhaps in vain) for Might Cthulu.

No downloadable music? you mean I just have to keep the site up to enjoy the delightful tunes? NOoooooo! Seriously though, I need it as a ringtone so I can use it for psychological torture.

Typed in "http://www.wellmiss.com/" after the words in the party pic on 11808.com... took me to the usual kinda-random link site - what does it have on there? Well, it has links to "1-18-08", "Drilling Rig", "Universe" in the "About Us" section bottom right. Am currently clicking through them all just in case. Will probably regret this after about 1 hour.
-
Back to video games. Someone wake me when we find something :P
-
...there is prolly some techno guy here who knows how to take Slusho music and make ringtones - you want to torture? try that cuddly wuddly cthulhu song! i'm sorrys but iam no techno guy... i am just learning about all this computers stuff... all this termnologies... only just learned what a "harbl" was today... can anybody out there tell me what the "z" in ZOMG stands for??? Is it a silent z? I stay up too late... see ya alls later bai!
-
First, let me apologize in advance for any spelling errors, etc. I've been out enjoying my Friday night and there has been alcohol involved. Jesus, I can't believe I'm even on the computer right now...but I know I won't remember to post this tomorrow. ANYWAY...So a lot of people have been talking about how warm it appears to be in January in NYC. Well, on the Slusho! hostory page, it talks about how the secret "magic" ingredient has to be kept at near frozen temps to stay "fresh". What if the heatwave, which was naturally occuring, caused the secret ingredient to thaw? Maybe there's a Slusho plant somewhere in NYC...or a barge shipping the product into the country or something...and the heatwave caused some shit. Sorry if someone said all this already...it just occured to me a while ago and I wantd to share...maybe it's a start on something...
-
I don't think I've seen that, and its a mighty good point.
-
I keep reading posts here and elsewhere about the distance Liberty's head would have to travel and the inconsistency about it's angle of approach. Well, I checked google earth, and while the head would have to pull off some moves worthy of the Kennedy assasination magic bullet to arrive at the 401 Broadway area, I think it's just a case of getting a good looking shot.
The same thing happened in "elizabethtown". Orlando Bloom's character lands at the airport in Louisville and despite being given directions, heads up 65 North towards Indiana, away from E'Town. Thing is, 65 south turns into boring interstate scenery pretty quickly, and 65 N has the better visuals.
Ok, maybe that's not the best example. There's a sad lack of national monuments dropping screaming death down upon Orlando, but it just sticks in my head because I went to college at WKU and spent many an hour traveling that stretch.
Anyway, you get the idea.
Enough rambling, off to bed. -

I'm not saying this is what's going on, but people mention the script so I searched and found this. The opening of this script sounds like what we're seeing in the camcorder trailer. They'd have to abandon this viewpoint and the guy would have to die, but something to talk more about....
http://latinoreview.com/scriptreview.php?id=65 -
but Aleister Crowley also died on December 1st...and the time on the second picture on 1-18-08.com is 12:01.

been reading a loooong time. Finally decided to post. But it took me so damn long to register, I can't remember what it is I was gonna say.
Anyway...I thought I heard "lion". Not bringing up the debate agian...just saying, that's what I thought I heard, and I'm sure many others did too. -
That's an interesting idea. I do wonder, though, what happens to the Slusho magic ingredient once it thaws in the mouth and is swallowed? Maybe saliva neutralizes it like it does acid, but just a thought. Good idea you brought up.
-
I also support the"You folks are looking too much into this" faction. ;)
-
I guess JJ won't just throw us a bone? Why not give Harry a late nite text message, and tell someone what fucking site we need to turn to, or just show us the monster(s)?I've had people say that it may actually be a "Bad Robot", i.e. something like Transformers... so, we are supposed to get attacked soon by Muslims, or so say some.
-
Why is it a "heatwave"? Who says it's winter? Have You all assumed it's winter because it says 1/11/08 as a release date or something?
-
means nothing! How many of you have the correct time/date on your cameras or VCRs? Hell, my aunt's has been on 2001 since she's got her camera - and when i fix it, it winds up at 2001 all over again when she changes the batteries!
-
And you all still have a big fat ZERO! Haha
JJ OWNS you all!!!!!!! -
Bored Bored Voltron Bored Lions Bored Cthulhu Bored Godzilla Bored
YOU GOTS NOTHING!!! -
You need the Gentleman Detective Mr Sherlock Holmes!!!!

Actually most people associate cheese with Switzerland. As in Swiss cheese.
-
You need to look for a new line of work my friend!!!!!
-
Pales into insignificance compared to the amount of cheese found in Michael Bay's movies.

Check the bible for 'Cheeses Of Nazareth'
-
You have fallen for a marketing gimmick, there is nothing more to figure out...

Honestly, what evidence is there that this is Voltron. I want a list. Because the only thing i can possibly see is the whole "A lion/Alive" confusion. And it's been pretty much proven that the guy says "It's alive!"

From Denver TV Station - KUSA-TV
9News.com
LOS ANGELES - What is it? That's the question moviegoers are asking about a mysterious trailer promoting an unnamed film shown in previews before Transformers.
The footage is hand-held home video of a party in New York, featuring happy-looking twentysomethings dancing and mugging for the camera before disaster strikes.
The lights go out. The party people go to the roof and see huge fireballs erupting in the city. Panic ensues and the group runs to the street, where something large hurtles through the sky and crash-lands in the street in a heap of burned wreckage.
It's the Statue of Liberty's head.
There is no title on the trailer. The date 1/18/08 is shown, along with a line saying it is produced by Lost co-creator and Mission: Impossible III director J.J. Abrams.
The project is known by the code name Cloverfield, but that is not the real title, according to Paramount Pictures, the source of the trailer.
9NEWS Entertainment Reporter Kirk Montgomery learned exclusively on Friday from a secret source, who is on the set of the film every day, that it is not a sequel or a remake (which precludes King Kong or Godzilla). It is not Voltron or "Lost"-related.
The source told Kirk the entire film will be presented through a handheld video camera, as in the style of the trailer. All of the actors involved had not seen scripts when they signed on for the project and are under strict legal gag-orders not to discuss any aspect of the film.
The source says 50 percent of the $30 million budget for the film is devoted to special effects.
The official Web site is www.1-18-08.com, but the source tells Kirk that apparently a Japanese-style Web site, www.slusho.jp, has lots of clues yet undiscovered by the rabid fans who have been scouring the Internet for hints.
The source told Kirk the biggest clue of the trailer is in the line: "I saw it, it's alive, it's huge."
The source also says the sound the "creature" makes is another big clue. He says the creature is an organic, living thing.
The film is being released by Paramount, but they also are not saying anything. Yet.
-
So pooling everyones comments this film is about cthulhu who gets even stronger after drinking to many slushos , he then comes to New York where he starts rampaging because everyone keeps mistaken him for a giant lion?
The one thing I did get from the trailer is that it looked very unsettling and scary in tone. Given that and the limited budget and time scale(??) I am sure this eliminates Voltron and Godzilla. I am guessing the studios would be pitching those to a family audience with lots of toys to sell in the shops already?
Also given the tone of the trailer I think some people might be taking the slusho website too literally. I mean that trailer seemed very harsh and very realistic potrayal of a monster/alien on attack New York. Would you make something that looked that real and explain it away on a slusho?? -
This movie will suck. Or, the makers would have the stones not to pull shit like this on people. I understand buzzing about films WE ACTUALLY KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT, ie, new star wars, how would lord of the rings turn out, etc, but this dude makes shit tv shows and an even worse turd scientology commmercial and you guys crap yourself. Well i got a site for ya...www.jjisadouche.com
-
at 00:38-00:42 is what's puzzling me. It sounds like a woman's voice except huge. It even sounds like "Domo". 'Thanks'(in Japanese?!) and then a bellow. Maybe it is Gozer the Gozaerian come as Slusho instead of the Sta-Puft Marshmallow man. Ok, the last bit is heavily far-fetched, but it does sound like a woman saying "Domo" over a huge PA system.
Maybe the Slusho backstory is the actual backstory to the movie? The organic ingredient does a eatme/drinkme and blows up anyone who has too much? -
I was writing my post before I saw the new info come up which made my post dated before I posted it!
With such a low budget does anyone else think it might be in the same vein as 'Jaws'? (and no i am not saying its going to be anywhere near as good as Jaws). But just with such a low budget we might not see hardly anything of this monster for most of the movie (other than maybe the odd limb) until near the end? We might just see its effects. So even up until the release we might not be any wiser of what it is? -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc5HoevulDI&watch_response
-
It's been 50 years since the movie first came out.
Maybe instead of the encounter with an alien (original premise), this version focuses on genetic engineering of foods?
What if the statue of liberty has nothing to do with symoblic freedom, but just symbolizes a giant woman??? -
The reason those of us assume it's winter IS because of the date on the photos. Here's the thing...we have NO "evidence", not one single "clue", to suggest that the movie ISN'T set on 1-18-08. We do, however, have ONE "clue" that suggests it is, which is the date on the photos. And one is better than none. Honestly, do you think they would put a different date on the photos because maybe whomever took those pictures was too lazy to set the correct time/date. Obviously the time/date is important, as the photos are establishing a timeline for the night's events. Why would the time be correct, but the date wouldn't?
-
...the whole Voltron thing started because people thought they heard the guy say "lion", which he absolutely, 100% did not. Yet, for some reason, people are still clinging to this Voltron idea. It makes no sense. Seriously, it just makes no sense. What are all you Voltronites gonna do when the movie comes out and it isn't Voltron. Other than boycott the movie, I mean. Because it is not Voltron.
-
I haven't been keeping up. Has anybody seen this yet?
-
"Nice little jingle on the slusho website. Wouldn't you say that jingle has a little mid-eastern theme to it? Perhaps from India or Pakistan? Wait, isn't India mentioned in the Voltron script? Ok now for the closure...the blue mitt..I had to admit this was a stomper for me but let's look closer.... mitt is associated with heat....heat is associated with flames..Voltron's flame sword. Damn I'm good! Ok now to the end...." Ok, while all this could conceivably make sense, it only works if you go into this LOOKING for clues to validate the idea of Voltron. None of this would scream "Voltron" to someone who 1. Hadn't read the Voltron script (and that's really the big one, folks...I mean, how many people who aren't die-hard movie nuts read the script to a movie before it comes out?), and 2. Are going in cold with no pre-conceived notions of what the movie might be about. If you are a police officer, then you know that it is never a good idea to enter into an investigation with a preconceived notion of what happened and then try to find evidence to support that...you are supposed to examine the evidence and let that dictate what happened. Right? And on the subject of the cheese thing...man, if I walked up to 100 people on the street and asked them to name the first thing that comes to mind whwn I say "cheese", I bet some would say Swiss/Switzerland, some would say Wisconsin, some would say taking a picture, some would say grilled cheese, etc. I bet none would say France. Honestly, I really don't think that given a random sampling of 100 people, any of them would say France as the first thought that comes to mind when they hear the word "cheese". I could be wrong. The jingle on the site...the "Japanese" site...I would say it almost has a Japanese theme to it...
-
what I meant was like a Japanese video game...sorry...got a little jumpy with the post button...
-
there is a rumor on the ethanhaas.org website which says according to relaible sources ( how reliable has yet to be determined) than the title of the 1-18-08 cloverfield project will be revelead at the san diego comic con between the 26th and the 29th.
this is according to http://www.frightstuff.com/frightforum/ supposedly the sight that is working on the special FX for this project.
well those dates put it before the aug 1st one that has been thrown around alot lately. guess the waiting game is still afoot unless someone else has got some new info, but I doubt it. it would've been all over here by now.
back to my online sluething i go. what a great way to kill a 10 hr shift at work on a sat. and im getting paid for it, always a bonus in my eyes
-
Dude, I'm not making fun of you or anybody. I just think it's funny how the whole "It's a lion" thing has snowballed into a huge Voltron debate. Now, I'm not saying that's what first put the idea of Voltron into your head, but can you honestly say that you would have--on your own and without anyone else's influence--become so sure that this was Voltron? And I wouldn't call a donkey symbolizing Mexico, a blue oven mit symbolizing Voltron's sword, a piece of cheese sybolizing France, a "middle-eastern" jingle sybolizing India, etc., facts. You say things like, "Everyone affiliates cheese with France", and present that as a "fact". Now I'm not making fun of you, but that is not a fact. Look up the word "fact" in the dictionary. "Everyone" does not associate cheese with France. You cannot prove that hey do. You would, literally, have to ask EVERYONE before saying that's a fact. I'm someone, and I don't, so just by talking to me, something that you are clinging to as a fact has been proven incorrect. Same with the donkey/Mexico thing. Maybe if it was a bottle of Tequila, or a taco, or a sombrero, then I would think of Mexico, but...we don't even know that it's a donkey! How do we know it isn't a horse? And when I think of horses, I think of cowboys. And the Kentucky Derby. What do cowboys have to do with Voltron? Wait, the Derby is a race, and Voltron is the defender of the human race...so it IS Voltron. Never mind. What I'm saying is, you are taking huge leaps in logic and calling them facts. You are definitely entitled to think whatever you want, but don't call something a fact when it clearly is not a fact. That's all.
-
"It's always nice to have a suspect when you enter an investigation. My suspect is Voltron and all facts are turning into this is a voltron movie General." Point taken, for sure. But, again, the evidence you're pointing to in this particular investigation are not facts. If you want to keep the investigation theme going, do you really think that at this point you have enough evidence that you could work with an attorney and piece together a case that would prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Voltron is the culprit? Really? Beyond a reasonable doubt?
-
are people still on this whole voltron trip. I mean who would really want to see a voltron movie anyways. wouldnt ya like to think there are better ideas out there than this on? unless your whole intentions with the voltron angle aer to keep up the tradition of saying "hollywood is raping my childhood, yadda yadda,..." than i see no real point in wanting let alone speculating that this is indeed a voltron based project. if it is i for oen will never go see it no matter how good the trailer looks and will have no interest whatsoever in any further viral marketing campaigns if all we get as an end result are voltron like projects and such...
but hey if they are making a thundercats movie and transformers has done good business so far, voltron might not be that far behind.
whats next an astroboy movie, or how about a "laff lympics live action movie"? why not take all the cartoons from our childhoods and make them into movies.
frackin hollywood............. -
"General how about going to the Mark Gordon Productions website and try to look up something on Voltron. You won't get anything because they don't have the rights anymore." And that is the single best piece of evidence you have. I think I said yesterday that was a solid point to raise. I'm not sure if you mentioned it or someone else, but I'm pretty sure I commented that was a good issue to work with.
-
So Slusho drinkers consume frozen deep sea creature flavour stuff. It reaches a critical mass after 6 portions and they become one with a shared conciousness. Sounds good. Theres also a giant monster. Come back to get its extracted flavour? It really does sound distictly Dagon-ey.
Hey, as long as theres tentacles, Ill be happy. Oh and im pretty sure that if it does turn out to be Chtluyluhuluthule (or however the hell you spell it) then the hand hel camera thing will mean that someone is going to get dropped into its maw, there to spend 10,000 years in agony. (That was lovecraftian, wasnt it? That would be pretty good. Every so ofetn the movie cuts away from trying to get out of New York to a guided tour of the giant monsters Digestive system. Wasnt there a city in there or am I remembering some other bad sci fi? -
Looking back through the talkback, I see slushozoom.com has already been found (I thought it was a bit too obvious to not have been). Does anybody know if it is official or fan made?
-
did this hunt for clues become personal attacks on ones idea of what they think this project is?
I mean who really cares if mrx thinks he has facts and is using his "facts" to further his investigation.
GJC are you really that much of a phonetical maniac to not allow him to use the word "fact" loosely and for his own personal interpretation. its just an online marketing campaign full of clues and dead ends. no need to go around critiquing what or how other people investigate this matter.
good for MRX for coming up with an angle and beign unrelelnting in his pursuit of answers, even if it could lead him in the wrong direction. I for one will applaud him if it does indeed turn out to be a voltron based project. it wont change my opinion on the project itself but he will get kudos for being there on the forefront in figuring out this giant mess of a puzzle that jj has created for us . -
Thanks. This is kind of a tough talkback to scan through. I kinda figured it was fake when I saw the paypal thing.
-
You're a silly little person with nothing even remotely resembling a rational thought posted herein. Just stop. Your mind is seeing what it wants to see and your ears hearing what they wish to hear. You can't see "Facts" that way. Being a "Professional Detective", (shyeah, right), you should know that objectivity is the best way to approach an "investigation", (you're a putz). Rant over. By the way, I associate cheese with Wisconsin.
-
They aren't personal attacks. We are speculating on what this movie might be about, and we are enjoying it (I hope) or we wouldn't be doing it. MRX67 refuted my statements with this "Scroll up and read my posts. At no time have I ever mentioned a lion or what was said in the video because I am dealing with facts." I simply refuted his statement, in turn, that his theory was based on fact. If you'll read my other posts, I specifically say that everyone is entitled to their opinion. But, yes, I think that it is important to understand what the word "fact" means in any setting. And MRX67 is in law-enforcement, so that's why I'm pressing him extra hard on the subject. He deals with facts for a living, important facts that impact people's lives, so he knows what facts really are.
-
MRX67...testify, brother. Best laugh I had today was that "Voltron flies over France, there is cheese in France, there is cheese in a thought balloon popping out from a fish on a website associated with this movie, therefore this movie is Voltron" bit. Lordrando, I know people hate JJ. Hell, they have good reasons to. And this movie, when it comes out may well be crap. But nobody's "tricking" anyone into being excited over this trailer or the possibilities it presents. This IS the kind of thing movie geeks love. The chance to hope, the chance to guess, the chance to get worked up about the cool thing that might just be about to pop up over the next hill. This is the fun part of loving movies, especially genre movies. Will the movie itself be a disappointment? Maybe. They are, more often than not, just check back over this last summer. But you know what they say about the start of the baseball season, every team's record is 0-0 and every kid's got a chance to dream of the pennant. It's the kind of thing that makes baseball, or movies, worth loving.
-
ok I retrack my last statement than. i tjsut seemed like you werent allowing him to use a word in his own conotation thats all.
I read your reply and the one by bongsabre and now see your point. if in fact mrx is in the law enforcement field than the word fact should mean more to him than most since his facts are the ones that can put innocent men to guilt or vice versa.
Im all for debating and tossing around ideas of what this project is about but it seemed like people were being attacked for having thoughts, but now that I see that he was not being objective about whats out there and claiming truths that have been proven otherwise I stand corrected in my previous post.
-
...trying to be funny. No one writes what he did about the cheese or the oven mitt in seriousness. He is having fun with you. It's okay.
-
"This IS the kind of thing movie geeks love. The chance to hope, the chance to guess, the chance to get worked up about the cool thing that might just be about to pop up over the next hill. This is the fun part of loving movies, especially genre movies." AMEN.
-
I assumed that MRX67 was just playing around at first, but I didn't want to say so in case he is serious. I don't know. I mean, I do think that some of the conclusions are funny, but if the guy's being serious I didn't want to insult him, so I fugured I would just treat his theory seriously and attack the "evidence".
-
The Dinobots battle the Voltron lions
-
...and he may even be half serious, but the absolute certainty part and the laundry list of "evidence" wasn't angry enough to be the work of a true believer but was too over the top to seem otherwise sincere. But yeah...yikes...I sure hope he's not.
-
Don't worry...I'm still in on the boycott if this movie isn't Voltron...I just think we'd better gear-up for the big protest, 'cause I don't think it's looking good...
-
i know who the monster is someone brought it up on u toob i dont see why anyone didnt think of him earlier yea im talkin bout TROGDOR the burnanator
-
I don't know...just because he isn't getting all worked up about it doesn't mean he isn't serious...he could just be a really level-headed, laid back guy. I know we're not expecting that here on AICN, but it IS a possibility...
-
I would come up with something that would make Bob Saget blush, but it's childish to go on like that.
My theory in all seriousness would be that the ingredient on the Slusho site is the parasite and that it may pull a "Thing" or "Blob" and Katamari whatever it comes in contact with. -
I don't know, man...if I were a Hollywood exec., I would be tripping over my dick to get the rights to Voltron now, since there is obviously a HUGE contingent who really wants to see this movie happen. I'd be seeing dollar signs flash before my eyes every time I heard the word. Hopefully whoever does make the Voltron movie does it justice...
-
I just wanted to point out that on one of the Film Threat message boards, someone posted that the Greek Letters on the Paddle in Rob's Apartment were Alpha Kappa Mu...Alpha obviously means first, strongest, most dominate...such as in the term "Alpha Male". Kappa, in addition to being a greek letter, is also the name of a creature from japanese myth, it is described as “a river goblin, a hairy creature with the body of a tortoise, scaly limbs and a head resembling that of an ape.” His head also has a cavity on top that is said to contain a mysterious fluid, which is the source of his power. could that fluid be the secret ingredient in Slusho? The Kappa is described as having the characteristics of a vampire and in my Japanese Myth book (written by F. Hadland Davis) there is a mention of a Kappa emerging from a river and taking a horse in his mouth and thrashing around with it- there is also a horse cartoon galloping along the bottom of the Slusho history page. and finally Mu, as pointed out on the filmthreat message board,is the legendary lost sunken continent that has been linked at times to giant undersea creatures, giant robots, etc. Also, according to Lovecraft, the denizens of Mu worshipped Cthulhu amongst countless other Elder Gods. Just Something to Think about.....sounds alot more feasible than a giant Lion.....
-
One thing is clear... there is a big monster... ...but what is the nature of this beast? ...there are two (at least) options... that is if we ignore for a moment the fact that Hollywood screenwriters tend to ignore science , logic and sense... ... first it is a freak of nature... a monster but one following scientific laws i.e. Godzilla, Voltron, etc... ...second a supernatural entity... i.e. Cthulhu, Satan etc... The problems in logistics envolving the Statue of Libery's head, the location of the Woolworth building, and the unseasonal heat can all be answered by the second scenario... if the beast is daemonic in nature it can bend, subvert, and even break physical laws... Most evangelical/fundamentalist Christians are known to take the Bible literally... but even they usually don't take the book of Revelation literally... they expect the Great Beast to be say Damian Thorne or someone like that... ...wouldn't it be funny if the Great Beast were literally a huge Leopard/Bear hybrid with seven heads? ... of course it could all be due to dramatic lisence...
-
three words for a voltron movie straight to video
-
...that's it! This is apocalyptic battle between Limecat and Clockspider!!!
-
No offense for asking this question, but you ARE totally serious, right?
-
Yeah, but...the level-headed guy probably doesn't list the cheese and mitt and music and especially donkey stuff (just off the top of my head) because he knows the incredible and obvious logical fallacies inherent in them. And a level-headed movie fan knows enough about the scene to know that there are uncounted thousands of listings on IMDB where an announcement for a film is followed by weeks, months, even an eternity of silence, so they wouldn't list that as evidence, especially when both the Gordon site and IMDB do list producers, a writer and a omposer for the film, which is one heck of a lot more than once again thousands of entries for future films have on IMDB for weeks, months, ever, and which have contractural implications which we all know about. And would also know that the mostly likely (you know Occam's Razor) reason for Voltron not having a release date is that a US distribution deal has not yet been made, a not uncommon or mysterious place for a movie to be at in this stage of development. And a bunch of other stuff, but now I'm getting drawn into debunking this stuff and I refuse to do that when I really am pretty sure he was just having everybody on.
-
in the freeze frame I looked at
-
All extremely logical points that I couldn't agree with more. But MRX67 is sticking to his guns...
-
"Yeah, but...the level-headed guy probably doesn't list the cheese and mitt and music and especially donkey stuff (just off the top of my head) because he knows the incredible and obvious logical fallacies inherent in them." Which is why ot's funny no matter what. I just didn't wan't to be a dick about it. If somebody wants to think this is Voltron, that's cool. I think it's ridiculous, but they're entitled to their opinions. But the string of "facts" that MRX67 is using to frame his position is what I have been calling into question.
-
Just did a quick peek on google maps street view and discovered that the city block in the trailer is a composite of several buildings. 401 Broadway exists (along with the yellow Textile billboard) but the scene was not shot on that actual block.You'll notice when they're on the roof the Woolworth building looks to be about half a mile away but on the street level it's suddenly much closer at three blocks away. The Woolworth and 401 aren't that close to one another and there are no apartments that close to the Woolworth building from that perspective.Point is, it takes a lot of cash and time to composite a convincing skyline and track it with shaky handheld. This movie will cost A LOT. You can't shoot a romantic comedy for $30 mil, let alone an effects laden monster movie. No way.
-
...and tricked me into doing, too, damn your eyes. He may be funny, but it is you, my friend, who is the master manipulator.
-
Dude, you SAY you're serious, but I have to admit, it is hard to believe when you follow that statement up with, "Also we are told that the end battle for Voltron takes place with Voltron zooming (yes I used zoom) from city to city over many countries one of them being France. Don't we have a slice of cheese in our slusho website. Everyone affiliates cheese with France." Come on, man, REALLY...? You're serious?
-
The American Godzilla is a definite rip off of Beast From 20000Fathoms. That movie was such a disappointment. I still emotionally suffer from the experience. I can't talk about. I like to pretend it never happened.
-
...I hope to God somebody filmned the marjeting meeting where they came up with all this shit. "Ok, people, you've all read the Voltron script, so let's just assume that so has everyone else with access to the internet. How are we going to give them clues that this is Voltron? Anybody...anybody...YES, Johnson, whatchu got?"--"Uhh...well, I was thinking, since there is some stuff that takes place in Mexico, maybe we should give a clue about that..."--"Yes, Johnson, yes, I like it. But what? A taco, a sombrero...?"--"I was thinking a donkey, sir..."--"Jesus! You're fucking brilliant, Johnson. Yes. A donkey. I ALWAYS think of Mexico and the Mexican people when I see a jackass. You don't think that will offend anyone do you? Nevermind...what else...?"--"Well, you know how Voltron has a flaming sword...maybe the Mexican donkey should be thinking about an oven mitt to hold that hot son of a bitch with..."--"Mother of Christ, Johnson, how does your neck even hold up your head with that giant fucking brain inside of it...keep going..."--"Ok, there's one part of the movie where it's set above France..."--"I got it...we'll show bread? A beret? A woman with hairy armpits? A blowjob?"--"I was thinking cheese, sir. Everyone thinks France whenever they see cheese."--"Right. What else?"--Well, we could have some vaguely Middle-Eastern music to indicate India and Pakistan..."--"Right...right..."--"And I thought we could maybe put a bunch of stuff about a drink's secret ingredient coming from the bottom of the ocean and a woman disappearing while searching for it in the history section, just to throw everyone off..."--"Sold. Let's get this fucking site up, already.".
-
where do you go to talk about movies?
has the original email to Harry (with the ethan site and mad prophet references) since been questioned? what with big JJ saying ethan is bunk and all... wasn't that the first link to any sort of Lovecraft links? if not, what was?
if there are clues in the trailer, i'm really thinking they're probably too huge to be seen with the microscopes you all have been using. ...but i got nothing either. -
Still, the new J.J. Abrams movie trailer is for the remake of the Beast From 20000 Fathoms. I predict it to be made in a B movie style.
It is not for Volron or Ultraman or Shogun Warrior or the Micronauts, or The Thunderbirds or Johnny Sakko and His Flying Robot or Kimba The White Lion. It the remake of Beast From 20000 Fathoms. -
Ok, sorry man...I guess I am being kind of a dick about it now. I guess I just don't believe you're really serious after all, and hope that you're laughing about all this. If not, I apologize for making fun.
-
I understand that you believe this to be Voltron, and your points are good. I have read the script synopsis at Lationreview.com (and if you can gimme a link to the actual script, I would love it). However, I find some of your connections faulty..at least in my opinion, allow me to explain:
You are indicating that an association between donkeys/burros is a deadlock for mexico, due to popular public relation. This is unfortunatly (again, my opinion) not the case. I nominally relate donkeys to hard work and/or stuborness, but hardly with strictly being mexican in nature.
I'm sure we may see donkeys in voltron, but seeing a donkey at the slusho site does not nessacarily a Voltron reference make.
Secondly. The cheese. The association with france could be considered accurate, but logically, the argument holds no weight..."there is cheese in france. Therefore, a site with cheese must reference france. Voltron goes to france. Therefore, Cheese indicates Voltron."....he could go to Wisconsin, or maybe even switzerland....in either case, the association is loose at best.
Finally, you indicate correctly that Manhattan is a location in Voltron, both at the begining and in the final battle. However, seeing explosions in manhatten does not nessacarily make it Voltron. Again "Voltron has 2 sections in manhatten. The trailer shows manhatten under attack. Therefore, Voltron is in manhatten." As a detective, you should know that this evidence is circumstantial at best, wishfull thinking at worst.
Don't mean to be argumentative, but the arguments just dont hold enough weight. -
"if there are clues in the trailer, i'm really thinking they're probably too huge to be seen with the microscopes you all have been using. ...but i got nothing either." I agree. See my post from last night about the heatwave in January and Slusho's secret ingredient.
-
For the non-dick version of my argument, see GreenGeezer's post above.
-
Serious question, assuming you are serious: What was the first thing that started you thinking this was Voltron? The very first thing...and be honest...was it something someone else said or something you figured out for yourself? And, does the fact that this trailer rolled-out in front of Transformers have anything to do with it (similar demographic to a potential Voltron audience, etc.)?
-
But after reading the script synopsis, I don't know how there going to manage all that and maintain the shakycam view.
All the same, if your right, DAMN is it gonna be cool. If not, I wouldn't laugh. But believing that this is gonna be Keith and the rest, your prerogative man. -
And the "hell of a night" which are the last words spoken in the trailer. And damn if logically a lot of this doesn't point toward some kind of Lovecraftian thing but I just can't wrap my head around a JJ Abrams Chtulhu movie. It just seems silly when I write it out that way. But that would also make sense with the way the film is being marketed, forcing people to search through arcane web-sites filled with arcane portents if they want to find the "truth". And the hand-held camera style, which would conceal as much as it reveals and add to the paranoia of immense but unseen forces. I mean the Cthulhu thing makes the most thematic sense of any theory so far, but...come on. Right?
-
Alias hoo-ha with the "prophecy" of an acient arcane device, and the Lost island with its giant four toed statues left from some ancient whatever and the smoke monster that can kill or drive to madness, and it's pretty clear Abrams has a bit of an affinity for that sort of stuff. Still hard to feature.
-
I will admit that I was a big proponent of the Cthulhu theory earlier, mostly because i was operating under the (seemingly mistaken) assumption that the Ethan Haas sites were related to this. The Hollywood Reporter, Comingsoon.net and a few other sources were saying they were tied in before AICN ever did. Now, to be clear, I never thought this would be an official Lovecraft film...I figured it would be like "Hellboy" and "In the Mouth of Madness": In other words, homage. Like MRX67 with Voltron, once I had made up my mind that this was the most likely subject matter, I began to see connections everywhere...like in the history page on the Slusho! site. With the Haas sites now officially(?) debunked, I think this is most likely an original entry into the kaiju genre with some nice, stylistic twists. So, at this point, I'm just trying to decipher whatever clues JJ really did put out there for us, since he claims there are more sites that have yet to be found.
-
i've been thinking about the cost too, but I have this feeling Abrams is trying to make a point: to shoot a well-written, high-grossing film with an really small budget. Also, the evidence for me that the $ quoted is accurate is the fact that HE isn't directing it. I'm not looking forward to the seeing the way its shot, though. I just know I'm going to get motion sickness :-).
-
is it strange that projectiles from the initial explosion also have mid-air bursts...looks like each one bursts into three seperate projectiles at the apex..is that familiar to any comic or cartoon?
-
THere is no story for this movie they're just readin the tlakbacks and finding the best idea of what made that explosion, then they'll make the movie.
-
...well, I would swallow my tongue if it were a Chtulhu movie in an official sense. In terms of it being some form of kaiju, I think there can be little doubt. But whether it is tied into something thematically that might tease along an ancient evil god/being kind of line or not seems open to debate. Given Abrams seeming proclivities and some of the apocalyptic imagery in the trailer and the official site it seems possible. I think folks have read too much into the Slusho site period, but especially in terms of the ocean connection to the Cthulhu stuff (all kinds of cinematic creatures crawl out of the ocean) and the squid/fish thing. I think any mention of Lovecraft has to be presented as Lovecraftian as opposed to any kind of adaption. And I'm not even willing to go that far without more evidence, though if I was forced to put down my money right now I might say "A lovecraftian original kaiju designed stylistically to give viewers the experience of going through an enormous calamity (perhaps world ending) from the ant's eye view of individuals trapped in the horror". Which, even vague and prevaricating as it is, is also probably wrong.
-
Ned...well said. My hopes are with Cthulu aswell...but your definition of "A lovecraftian original kaiju designed stylistically to give viewers the experience of going through an enormous calamity (perhaps world ending) from the ant's eye view of individuals trapped in the horror"...geezer digs.
Whether it is or not....do we have ANYTHING new out here today? aside from the denver report? -
in said denver report, its indicated that the biggest hints are in the slusho site and the line "I saw it, its alive, its HUGE!"...
Do we have any hypothesis (aside from previously mentioned), as to WHAT these clues may mean?
Or is it more distraction? -
Going along with your ant's-eye view theory, which I also think is the most likely scenario in this film given what we have already seen, I tend to agree with the folks who think it's likely we will never get a great look at the beastie. I think we'll see the guy with the camera zoom in from a distant rooftop, or maybe turn and try to get a few quick shots as he's running...maybe even hide and film protions of the beats up close...through a hole in a wll or something. But I doubt we'll have any beautifully framed long-shots that show the creature in all it's glory. I'd be willing to bet that we see a news helicopter shot on a tv at some point, though.
-
shortly before that helicopter is knocked out of the air like a gnat at a picknick.
-
No! You're telling me I have to go back to the Slusho site again? But that duck in the balloon's lookin' at me. Okay, better now.
-
is here to help. Do not fear the duck.
-
...and you see that's one of those things where you can trick yourself. Because would that stylistically fit a Cthulhu style movie? Beautifully. Such a quick easy way to infuse the film with that dread of the unseen (because of the limited viewpoint) that is so integral to Lovecraftian fiction but has never really been captured well onscreen. And so it's tempting to use that as a reason it is that sort of movie. But the same thing would be a cool and nice homage to the giant monster movies of the 50s, which would take the movie in a very different direction. Although to follow the 50s thing to its conclusion it would have to give us a money shot somehow near the end. And then of course there is always the most depressing possibility, the Abrams just saw the Host and said "Hey, I can do that, Hollywoodland style, and make enough money to build a studio of gold." I really do hope it's not that last one.
-
is there some one that builds web sites that could awnser this?
on the slusho site every thing is in vector graphics except the 17 cups and the "you cant Drink Just six" and the japanese below that. There pixilated. When you zoom in. The font looks the same so I'm confused about why there in pixels and the rest is vector. I ran some filters on the pixilated stuff but nothing for me.. Just thought I'd ask the question and see if there is a reason for this.
scott -
why would they make such a big secret about this movie if it was voltron my moneys on somethin new like um an 80 ft shaun of the dead that would be cooler than voltron anyday
-
movie under wraps for this long. To be release this January the movies shoting would have to be done by August to start Pre-production. And thats Moving at Ratner speed.
-
why havent we heard from our fearless leaders, harry, moriarty, mirajeff, etc.....
do they know, are they mezin, have then been sworn to secrecy????
and im still not completely sold on this voltron angle. Whats next a CAPT Planet movie?? -
Just checking back in. I got nothing myself, but we got anything new yet? Otherwise I'm going to go tie up my boss and make him tell me who I can speak to over at Paramount.
-
...damn you, GreenGeezer, and the history has such a Lovecraftian feel. The problem is that it's clearly Japanese, and the story is also similar to a lot of Japanese fairy tales, so it's a wash.
-
very lovecraftian (the dreaming of the great whale, drinking to become one of its own), the frozen component at the bottom of the sea.
Seems very "shadow over innsmouth" or "Dagon"
And it is similar to the tails of the Kappa (thank god its not a Tengu, that would be BAD..in that good way)....but we have no way of confirming until we get more information, or someone cracks thru this and gets some additional sites.
-
going off of what we know/hope...however, if its something original, Bong On...I'm down, as long as it kicks ass.
-
Its whats for dinner.
-
...Spiral was a very original movie, but it was also very Lovecraftian, in that it explored many of the same themes as Lovecraft did in his fiction. And no, it would not be a dead writer named Lovecraft, and no one would probably suggest it was. In fact no one, at least in the last few hundred posts I've read has even suggested that it was a direct adaptation of any Lovecraft story, or any story by Derleth or Bloch or any of the other writers who tried to ape Lovecraft. The question here is whether it is a dumb monster or whether it is an intelligent other directed force. Clearly if it was, as the story on Slush would seem to indicate, an intelligent giant sea creature that seeks to infect others by turning them into "little whales" that eventually rises up from the ocean or takes possession of the original scientist (the site assures us he is "very big") that would be a Lovecraft riff. That would be Lovecraftian. Not a remake. Not even not original, in that sense that all original things draw on the wellspring of previous literature and myth we carry with us. In this case the riff that would be being played, to read the Slusho site, would seem likely to be a Lovecraft one. Understand?
-
To further the point, we could all be full of shit, and it could be something that NONE of us have thought of.
-
hurm.
-
hurm.
-
until some new info or another picture breaks....or the talkback goes bye bye.
-
...it will certainly end by the time the extended edition has been released on video. When the argument about the meaning of the six alternate endings begins. Don't you just love movies?
-
... this is not a VOLTRON film. This is not a C'thulu film. This is not a remake of someone else's property. It's an original idea that Abrams sold to Paramount last year. Drew Goddard is writing it. The VOLTRON project that Justin Marks is writing is still moving forward. They are not related. I'm not speculating, either. I'm telling you that's exactly how it is, and if you spend the next six months invested in this being VOLTRON and then complain because it's not, you'll have no one to blame but yourself. You're delusional. And there's no reason for it, since you'll get a VOLTRON movie... this just isn't it.
-
Everyone post something random at the same fucking time! Your favourite quotes, something silly, just something! REBELLION! VIVA LA RED TEAM!
-
Now...lets get off of our various wishes and get on with the evidence, of which, we have precious little.
-
Aye, I love movies. But what makes me wonder is how this thing got so much hype already.. It's cool they kept it a secret for so long, but it shouldnt be able to cause that much fuzz.. Oh btw Mori. "This is not a C'thulu film." broke my heart :(
-
something huge rampaging thru new york, laying waste, with slusho in its heart....still sounds good...if not exactly what I wanted.
-
fish cheese horse mitt and not being able to drink just 6 ready brainstorm
-
...it wasn't Cthulu, and it wasn't direct Lovecraft. But something that plays those same themes, the ancient, waiting evil, the turning people into "little whales", and finally the hell of a night when the creature returns to take back what belongs to it, you can still hope for that. But hey, done well, even the dumbest most straight forward Beast From 20,000 Fathoms style riff will be nice. Just hope it's not an HG Wells riff and what you have destroying New York is a giant Japanese scientist. Not that I have anything against Marjoe Gortner or Food of the Gods.
-
Ive tried googling random lines from the trailer to see if any other sites not yet found come up.
at the very end of the trailer someoen says, "this is the best night ever" i googled best night ever and got a blank page with a message saying "coming coon"
this is a long shot and theres prolly alot of dialogue in the trailer but anything is worth a shot since we dont have any real direction as to which way is up as far as clues or anything goes.
good to hear it isnt a voltron movie though, although im sure we will now hear "well moriarty how can you be sure" from those so knee deep in the voltron conspiracies, but I for one am glad to hear at least something from the guys who run this site...
sorry mrx you can finally put that well cheese=france and oven mitts= flame blade theory to bed
-
Seriously, you have to be a complete fucking retard to even think this is anything RELATED to Voltron. But hey, who am I to argue with pathetic internet nerds? Fucking losers.
-
personally, I've tried several variations of URLS on all of the pre-existing hints, and so far, nada, at least nothing confirmable. Anyone else?
-
Don't forget 13 empty cups and 4 full ones at the bottom of the homepage. I can't believe that searching the names in the history section turns up nothing...but I've done it myself...
-
...this is what I was talking about. There are certain tropes. In a talkback setting you identify them by examples that are stylistically and thematically similar. You try to pick ones that the largest number of people reading will be able to identify. Big dumb monster from the ocean is a Beast from 20,000 Leagues riff, maybe a Reptilicus riff if you prefer. Huge human you could go Village of the Giants, maybe The Collossol Man, maybe Food of the Gods like I did (even though giant humans only actually appear in the book, not the movie). It's not at all the same thing as saying this is the Voltron movie. Sorry, just didn't want to hear it again because I mentioned Wells.
-
the phrase at the bottom of the slusho.jp site. I can see that theres a 6 in front of it but you cant copy and paste those symbols so I cant google the translation. and my japanese letter writing skills are pretty non existent so....
again its all just throwin shit against the wall and seein what sticks with these frackin clues
-
BTW, please see Moriarty's post above. Boycott begins now. We have to do it...we said we would, and I'm not about to let JJ Abrams and his 01-18-08/Cloverfield/Non-Voltron make a liar out of me. I'm still gonna talk about the movie, though. Fuck it.
-
the text at the bottom translates the same as "6 cups only, you cannot drink" or some odd oscetic phrasing...
-
A few days back someone translated it, and it's pretty much just the slogan in Japanese.
-
that was my guess as well.
-
then what the F are we guessing about. What are trying to guess if its completly Orgiginal Knowing that it Not Cthulu I Hope its a movie about Transforming robots from another planet with Personalties that get stranded on this planet and carry on there million year war. Cause we haven't seen that yet.
-
Mr. Moriarty simply confirmed this. In addition, I'll bet the farm that Abrams is talking out his ass when he says "there are a lot of sites out there no one has found yet." Keeps people looking. I bet that, at this point in time, the Slusho and 1-18-08 sites are the only ones. They may be developing more as we speak, but not nearly the volume Abrams indicated, or that some talk-backers seem to believe.
-
squido.com
-
rob.com i like the music
-
Sorry if this has been mentioned already (I didn't feel like scrolling through pages upon pages of Voltron nonsense), but has everyone seen the new pic on the 1-18-08 page? Tought to make out what's going on, but very obviously something is exploding and people are fleeing...
-
Just checked that slushozoom.com site. One pic in particular tells me its gonna be gamera...OR... features gamera among others. It shows a pic of a farmer and his woman, holding a snapping turtle. The link titles says soemthing about ufo sightings over japan. Putting 2 and 2 together:Snapping turtle, ufos, japan=gamera. But another link goes to a movie page for war of the gargantuas. I tried those only to one of the lines at the top of the slushozoom page that said one overcame the other. The two hidden links at the bottom go to a cholera vaccine page and a news story about that 'cocaine" energy drink. Since all the clues point only to a sea monster/kaiju set in NY with some clear japanese involvement, I'd lean towards(with a slight hope) a new Destroy All Monsters. In which aliens or some shit try to wipe us out with some famous kaiju given the old american fx updates. Rodan, Ghidorah, gamera, hell maybe even godzilla...
-
...well, what it's about, which outside of the weird Voltron crusade some people went on was what I think we've been doing from the start. What's busting up New York...an alien intelligence, an impossible native animal, something made by the hand of man, mystical menace, an Emerich or Bay production spun out of control. Trying to figure out if it's a one off destruction of New York thing, some sort of 9-11 parable or nowhere to run taking pictures of the last night of man on earth. Trying to figure out if their is a human component to the threat, if there really will be "little whales" and that weird kid in the picture on the official site might be one. Want to figure out all kinds of stuff. Are we likely to anytime soon? Hell no. But it's fun.
-
The only things we know, are we don't know enough.
-
on the bulletin board to the right of the door rob comes in is a picture of two hands holding a can with smoke coming out of it. i cant read what the can says.
-
www.dawnbreak.org
-
Despite what Moriarty said above, within a few hours people will start up again with their Voltron, Cthulhu and Godzilla theories.
-
...ruled out it being Lost related. But did they say anything about Felicity? That girl did some crazy stuff before just to follow her man.
-
...you have just cast the ultimate buddy movie.
-
the dawnbreak one is a movie site anyone anyone???
-
I don't take every word from AICN as gospel, but I would trust that.
Hey Moriarty, if your watching, any possibility that you could put that at the top, with the abrams denial of ethan haas so we can go about our business without haveing to deal with Cthulu, Voltron et al? -
...Talkback Wet Dream
-
...look at its tail... ...a donkey has a long tail with a tuft on the end...like a (gulp!) lion. ... this cute little snuggie wuggums is clearly a horse... or a pony. Japanese word for horse is "uma". Beatrix Kiddo?
-
...is about the best way I can literally translate slusho slogan into English...
-
Would that make it a seahorse?
-
nobody checked out that site :<(
tear -
... on my birthday after all... ... but then even original concept can be Lovecraft inspired... regardless of who the beast is... obviously informed by Godzilla too... as are all kaiju. ... so we can still hage rampaging monster ala Godzilla with flavour of Cthulhu... ...even though it's not Godzilla (or Cthulhu) as Masi Oka said in Goldmember... flavor of Cthulhu? YUMMY!!! Me wants Cthulhu slusho now!!!
-
Doesnt seem to lead to anything..when you click on the corona, it indicates that the anvils make noise, when you click on the LoginOdin, leads to a blank.
-
And it plays with the symbolism of the Slusho site a bit...
The report from Denver indicated that the biggest hint was "I saw it, its alive, its huge"....now, this could also mean at or about that time...there is a young woman (me thinks) running by with a Switzerland jacket on (I think, looks that way, could be winterland)...the fish on slusho (history) thinks of swiss cheese...could this mean anything? -
I know theres a oneway sign listed in the same "crowd running down the street" scene, but it doesnt look like it says "one way" (although it could, its mighty damn blurry)...not only that, but has anyone noticed the couple in formal clothes and the child (again, looks that way) with them?
these may all be red herrings..but interesting none the less. -
the site keeps changin the text it says when you click on the world first it said who can control the clay now its sayin male and female he created them hmm found out if u back then hit the world it says something diffrent evry time
-
...yeah, I never thought there was a chance for actual Cthulhu. But you know Spiral is one of my favorite Lovecraft movies, and it's pretty completely original too. I see the big divide here as dumb monster/smart monster. A monster that gets inside your head the way the whale in the story on Slusho does or a great big behemoth rising from the sea. I'll be okay with garden variety kaiju done in the style this movie looks like it's trying for. But yeah, I'd rather it be the other. And GreenGeezer, you can get another couple messages, too, but they're equally useless and impossible to verify as being connected to anything.
-
I believed you my brotha...
-
...read my messages to you above. Try to understand. And be less rude.
-
Thanks Imnofx, Red...
-
I took what info I had to a shop I know which sells religious books, spoke to the owner about what was going on, gave him something to did around with such as the numbers 1-18-08, gave him a brief detail of the trailer within a split second he mentioned that 'cloverfield' is mentioned in the bible opposite of wood****? (cant remember the exact word sorry) he then mentioned 'massive angels' and the key to hell??? Which freaked me out as in an earlier post i mentioned i believe i heard a voice within the first roar we got to hear in the trailer!! Any suggestions from you guys?
-
lets all hug and solve thiss thing
-
...I'd preffer not to hear anymore Voltron or Cthulhu nonsense is so that real investigations may commence without the clutter. Hopefully that's what's now happening.
-
was it wormwood?
-
if this site isnt for the movie what is it for anyone oh yea at the bottom theres a forbiden link
if no on saw that -
...no harm. But I'm going to keep referring to the smart scheming ancient beast that seeks to subvert and ultimately destroy humanity option as the Lovecraft option. Because it describes the classic Lovecraft theme and is easier to write than all those words above and based on the tiny amount of facts we have, the history on Slusho, that's what it sounds most like. Could be alien. Could be magical. Could not even exist but be the way the scientist personalized whatever he found and what it began to do to him (if the phrase "he's big" means anything). That's all it's been for me since I got here.
-
saw it, loginOdin. However, I don't think old one eye is related to this.
-
Yes I think that was it, i nearly wrote woodworm but new thats not what he said.
-
...there's been some fake web stuff, apparently. Or hey, maybe not. Who really knows. And what would maybe be funniest of all is if they were all "fake" in the sense that whatever appears on them gives no clue to the movie. Man, that would make that Abrams one funny fucker.
-
hellbound pagan that I am...but Revelations 8:11, "the name of the star is Wormwood.A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter." Mayhaps Slusho aint to tasty...but this has been said before....don't mind me.
-
...is the "...it's a lion" bullshit. I never realized there were that many people with hearing disorders.
-
Films based on known properties like Godzilla or Voltron depent on merchendise to sell the film to the younger crowds and merhendising conventions are held each year where manufacturers of toys and such bid on the properties to sell when the movie comes out. This is usually done at least a year before the movie actually hits the screens. If this was such a well known property like the Big G or Voltron we would have known about it. And if this was Voltron, a film about a transforming robot wouldn't you think it's producers would shove that fact down our throats now that Transformers has made $155 million at the box office in two weeks? It's called LOGIC and knowing that something that big and well known would never be able to hide in the shadows.
And MRX67. I hope you will conduct the investigation when they find that dead hooker in my car trunk. Then I'll be scott free. -
...when people first started saying lion my first thought was Revelations and not Voltron. Would be cool, but if we trust the one thing sort of established (who knows at this point) which is big monster destroys New York I don't know if it fits too well. Unless New York is Babylon. Even then, although as memory serves it says it will be reduced in a single day into a place for serpents and unclean things, it doesn't say it will happen by giant monster. Guess it doesn't strictly rule it out, either.
-
...that would make it not an original idea. Or there's something about Abrams we don't know.
-
im startin to think that way about it its all fake oh well cant wait to see this stupid ass voltron movie
-
but I was misguided..
-
I jsut noticed that the header for dawnbreak lists the above verse.
"For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you."
No evidence it applies to anything here, just adding my two cents. -
and the verse is pretty much a condemnation of witchcraft. Haven't checked the other phrases on the site yet.
-
hahahahahaha oh MRX67 when will u learn
-
I was about to see if a 3rd party would hold a $100 bet in paypal that this has nothing to do with Voltron. I'm sure one of these pinheads would have taken it. $100 from each of us, a 3rd party holds the funds, and then transfers the money to the winner.but you had to jump in with "reality", and scare the wackos off!by the by, where is that MX692 guy, or whatever his name is?poor bastard. he was so delusional, but SO sure."cheese? france? it's so obvious! it's a fact!" lol...good stuff
-
It was the 'Massive Angels' that my friend mentioned which just instantly got my attention!!!
-
Wormword may make for some bitter, death inducing water, but you got to love it's hallucinatory effects. :)
Hey, maybe the whole movie is a big absinthe induced mind fuck! -
and if it ever made me see shit like this, I'd never touch it again. Mushrooms and Acid are bad enough.
-
maybe what are those things anograms or what ever that jj dude uses to confuse every one
-
ever since moriarty posted mrx67 hasnt been head from since.....
and I totally agree. lets try to keep on the straight and narrow here and not further the voltron, godzilla, cthulu discussions.
now that moriarty's said it aint those I wonder what his thoughts on the ethan haas angle aer....h mmmm. mo seems to be the only here even attempting to steer us in a positive direction.
-
"I'm a cop. Investigation and research is what I do for a living."
Hahahaha What a numpty!!!! -
www.cloverfield.com
hilarious!!! What's funny, is why is their website www.cloverfield.com if their business name is Lutge Desing. I'm confused. BTW I've NEVER heard of Lutge Design, and I LIVE IN CHICO, CALIFORNIA...
HELLA WEIRD -
...was just goofing to piss everyone off. His absence hints otherwise.
-
Paddle on the wall...Alpha Kappa Mu...Mu, mythological island/sunken city. Kappa, Nasty japanese water spirit/has liquid in its skull. Alpha, The begining...thoughts?
-
I should call them up and bug them about the movie...
-
and for a company that designs websites.... their website sux donkey ballz
-
lets leave MRX67 alone, he seemed to be sincere in his belief. Mo just kinda tanked it.
-
funny though....
-
Ok, so it's an original story. Does anybody have anything...anything at all...that's new in terms of any kind of valuable information? How goes the search for clues on the Slusho site? Anything...
-
Ok, so it's an original story. Does anybody have anything...anything at all...that's new in terms of any kind of valuable information? How goes the search for clues on the Slusho site? Anything...
-
ok im reading some places that one of the biggest clues is the phrase " i saw it, its alive , its huge"
an anagram for it popped up that is
A Vestigial Issue With It
after looking up the word vestigial this is one of the definitions i got
Relating to a body part that has become small and lost its use because of evolutionary change. Whales, for example, have small bones located in the muscles of their body walls that are vestigial bones of hips and hind limbs
doesnt the slusho page mention something about its creator being known as "smallest whale"
also the same site that said they had breaking news
http://tinyurl.com/2nvww2
also says that the sound the creature makes in the trailer is of importance too.
ARGHHHH its moby dick in downtown NY.
lol im jk.
but interesting stuff none the less
-
as of yet. I don't think we're gonna get much until either someone drops a twig on it, or the slusho site is updated.
Been trying to think of the symbols at slusho. The horse (or sea-horse) with the oven mitt thoughts, the fish thinking of cheese, slusho zoom (.com looks like a coat tail site), kids hanging from kites, duck in a box under a balloon, pink jellyfish (as a URL, leads to someones site on hotels and beaches), the history text itself (however, mo has indicated that it Aint Cthulu...but that doesnt mean its not a riff on the same vein)...I can't think of much more...at least at the moment. -
maybe its a pissed of mutated Narwhal...horned whale...the sound seems either like whale song or a moo, but REALLY big.
-
Can't you see it? Slusho-infused absinthe!
Greengeezer mentioned wormwood in reference to Darth Hideous' post. Wormwood is used in absinthe. Absinthe is a drink, as is Slusho.
Now here's the clincher. Keep in mind that the secret ingredient in Slusho came from the sea. What's the sea's main ingredient? Water! And just like slusho and absinthe, you can drink water (though drinking sea water is a bad idea).
Now, here's where things start getting really crazy. Ernest Hemingway drank absinthe! And he wrote "The Old man and the Sea". Connecting the dots yet?
That can only mean...
Rob will wake covered up in his own vomit with a raging hangover, clutching his Voltron Lion Masterpiecce Figure with no recollection of the night before.
Sorry, I just thought I'd keep the crazy talk going since mrx67 has gone missing. -
good points and re-reference to the Denver article there, rdsxfan8.
Thats the closest we've got to hints past Mo removing the big two hypothesis' in his post. -
of a hangover...I wish it on no fellow conesiur of the green fairy.
-
Im just fighting the good fight over here.
hopefully its someone on this site tht cracks this fucker wide open that way we can all take a collective piece of the pie in knowing we're the best at this type of shit!!!!
hahahaahah -
As hangovers go, it ain't pretty.
However, I do have to more bottles coming my way this August, so it looks like I'm willing to risk it again.
Just need to keep hydrating, I guess.
Alright, back to actual clue hunting. -
Dude, if you think people have been saying some dumb shit over here, you should check out the IMBD boards on this movie. I swear to God, I feel dumber just having read some of that shit. So, yeah, we better bust this bitch open before those stupid fuckers over there.
-
The whole time we have been having the Voltron/Cthulhu debate, those bastards over there have been swearing up and down that this is a fucking RAMPAGE movie. That's pretty much the general consensus over there, so if those fuckers figure this out before us, we will all need to punch ourselves in the face. Hard.
-
January 18 is national Winnie the Pooh, Pooh bears Kicking ass and taking name now.
-
you've gotta be shitting me..Rampage? I admit, city destruction with either giant lizard, ape, or wolf is cool..but THIS?
-
anyone
see this http://community.livejournal.com/011808/33973.html?#cutid1 -
Wasn't one of them changed by a radioactive or otherwise milkshake? Either way, its not a remake or a take off on any pre-existing franchise..so that should be decidedly OUT.
(however, gotta admit yet again, a rampage movie would be cool..but I want to see it from the perspective of the beasties themselves, not a shaky cam.) -
If there is consensus that there is more to the quuote "I've seen it, it's alive, it's huge," has any one tried running anagrams for each phrase and seeing if they combine for anything?
-
Protected site, and I don't LJ....care to give a bit of detail?
-
he's already carting souls off to Hell, so destroying NYC isn't to far a stretch.
http://tinyurl.com/ythzk5
Someone may have posted this already, but it's still a great image in my mind. -
That's exactly why they're all saying that...because of the drink angle. But these guys are about as sure it's Rampage as MRX67 was that it's Voltron. Those threads are ridiculously huge over there, but if you want a good laugh you should browse through them.
-
the closest I've gotten to doing anagrams for them has been trying each, in sections, part, and whole backwards....the only thing interesting with that is in the middle you have "eguhstievilastitiwasi"...and of that, only the "evil as titi" caught my eye..
-
It was posted on the Wiki Discussion area and I took a look at it.
9NEWS Entertainment Reporter Kirk Montgomery learned exclusively on Friday from a secret source, who is on the set of the film every day That:
* The project is known by the code name Cloverfield, but that is not the real title.
* The source says 50 percent of the $30 million budget for the film is devoted to special effects.
* That it is not a sequel or a remake (which precludes King Kong or Godzilla). It is not Voltron or "Lost"-related.
* Entire film will be presented through a handheld video camera, as in the style of the trailer.
* All of the actors involved had not seen scripts when they signed on for the project and are under strict legal gag-orders not to discuss any aspect of the film.
* Japanese-style Web site, www.slusho.jp, has lots of clues yet undiscovered by the rabid fans who have been scouring the Internet for hints.
* Biggest clue of the trailer is in the line: "I saw it, It's ALIVE, it's huge." (Now that kills the Lion Rumor)
* The sound the "creature" makes is another big clue.
* He says the creature is an organic, living thing. (Means its not Voltron or mechanical)
Link Is Found Below
New clues about mystery trailer? Kirk has the exclusive! -
in seeing the wormwood reference with cloverfield above, those two are combined in herbal remedies for parasite removal. maybe sol had a tapeworm that is expelled. i had a cousin that suffered the same explosion and her head came off too. outof theearh.com
-
...that paddle stuff was great, but it pushes us in the same general direction again. And since almost everything we've discovered seems to lead in that same fishy direction, here's something that goes the other way, the best I can do with the supposedly huge "It's big. It's alive." There is another movie that made the phrase "It's alive!" famous. Frankenstein. Does putting emphasis on this perhaps suggest a man made monster? I won't even touch the 70s killer baby movie.
-
http://www.9news.com/life/entertainment/article.aspx?storyid=73653
-
of a man made or at least man antagonized monster (bad rob, BAD!)...as to the killer babies...that movie scared the hell out of me. Otherwise, I'm at a loss...I've read some other boards where they've tried a morse translation of the cups at the bottom, as well as re-arranging the sentances in the history section in accordance to the number of exclamation marks..but none of its leading to anything solid..that I've seen.
-
... when you say Spiral do you mean Uzumaki or Rasen? The first seems more Lovecraftian to me than the second... but of course there are elements in both that apply...
-
all the lion phucker out there muhahahahahahahahaha....um excuse me
-
...except that just isn't true. Read the history on the Slusho site, which WE HAVE BEEN TOLD is the important place to look. The mother WENT TO THE OCEAN and VANISHED, looking for a FLAVOR. HER SON BECAME an OCEANOGRAPHER. He went to a remote spot IN THE OCEAN where he supposedly met a WHALE that gave him a FROZEN FLAVOR and told him to give it to people to drink so that they could become LITTLE WHALES like the big WHALE. The scientist son is described on the site as being "Real Big". Now it is quite possibly that there will be nothing Lovecraftian about the movie. BUT ALL OF THAT IS LOVECRAFTIAN!!! And it ALL TAKES PLACE IN THE OCEAN! Now if you have decided to discount everything on the slusho site that is fine. You may even be right to do so. But you cannot reasonably say that there are no clues that this is thematically very similar to Lovecraft and absolutely no way you can say it has no ocean clues. They MAY be meaningless. It may be your opinion that they are, whether they are or not. You may also wish to discount what GreenGeezer just found written on the paddle. No problem. It could be meaningless. But please stop telling people not to refer to things that exist.
-
Uzumaki. One of my favorite movies period, though I have learned a rather acquired taste. And it is certainly Lovecraftian, while being fiercely original and never mentioning or having anything to do with Cthulhu or any of those other hard to spell fellows.
-
they FINALLY made a sequel
-
...there might be 2 of them. One from the water: since it had Liberty's head, it had to be out there at some point. One from underground: that first explosion they saw from the room makes me think that it came up from the ground and ruptured a gas main or something. The muffled sound of the initial roar and the tremor also aludes to this.
-
Nah, it's just fun trying to puzzle out what kind of monster and argue around about it. I'm doing it in between playing Red Apple Green Apple with the kids.
-
lets rip that slusho site a new one
um....arrrrg -
Oh thank gods, we finally get some resolution with Hanoi Xan.
-
against my better judgement i get involved here, but if the only site weve been informed is real is slusho, and that weve missed lots of clues, then you need to focus on it. check every image for hidden info, scour the source, decompile every flash or java. miscoloured or recurring words, letters, whatever. this is why i never do this stuff. its too hard and someone else is always better and quicker.
-
you turn into a monster and attack whatever is around you, the more slusho you drink the more powerful you become, the more violent you become, and if you continue drinking it you start to grow larger and larger. They become able to breath underwater, and seek out the place deep under the ocean where the secret ingredient of SLUSH is harvested. The "infected" then absorb even more massive quantitites of this secret substance and grow to become giant monsters, and then attack cities.
-
01-19-1975 the Jefferson invaded your TV now there taking over NYC,
-
... I was NOT saying post Mori's post... that this IS adaptation of Lovecraft property... ...instead I was saying it would prolly be informed by Lovecraftian themes... Cthulhu flavour without actual Cthulhu... ... can you grasp what i means...? by this notion Ridley Scott's Alien was "Lovecraft" film... as Stephen King and others have maintain. Spiral brought up by Red Ned... Uzumaki and Rasen both original works NOT ACTUALLY BASED ON LOVECRAFT but had powerfully Lovecrafty feel to them... a kimochi warui if you will...
-
...do you have any evidence that the apartment first seen in the trailer is on the east side? Or that it would qualify as deluxe?
-
We're using the most convenient thematic terms. Nothing else.
-
It's color, and I warn you up front half the people I have had watch it, people I am usually cinematically simpatico with, have looked at me and said something along the lines of "...yeah..." But I think it's pretty cool. And I can still remember the first time I saw Onibaba. Man, that was something. For another somewhat atypical (although once again not universally popular) j horror movie try Infection. And Prof, thank you for trying, but I've tried explaining that same point to him three times now, with examples, and it hasn't worked yet.
-
ok has anyone tried finding an anagram for
"Slusho! Updating for you! you will come back soon!!!"?
the program I tried said it was too long ( 39 character limit) so Im breaking it up into sections as we speak
Ill post my results when done
-
...small I would watch Supergator with them tonight. Shoot, it's probably better than this Abrams' film, right? Right? Hope it turns out to be Voltron...at least cthulhu...or a superlion...
-
Of movies inspired by Lovecraft but not directly adapted from his works...has anyone seen the film Dark Waters (dir: Mariano Baino...no relation to the J-horror flick)? It is very heavily inspired by the work of HPL and the films of Mario Bava. Very atmospheric and intense.
-
cheesefish.com
-
And now, can some one please throw us a bone? J.J. or Paramount should show a little love and not keep us wondering what the frick this thing is.I would settle for a shot of a giant foot or paw or claw or tentacle, hidden by smoke or something... I honestly can't imagine what a giant lion would look like in order for it to cause explosions and the ability to throw the Statue's head so far, would he bite it?
-
is my Favorite Lovecraft inspired film!!!
-
The guy on the Denver News thing said that It's Alive is important, so I went top IMDB and looked up It's Alive (1969) Tv show was made by the same man who made Creature of Destruction. this is the plot overview...A hypnotist is able to predict murders by a terrifying sea monster. In reality, he causes the murders through his lovely assistant, who is the reincarnation of the monster. Written by Paul White {pwhite@bigfoot.com}
A mad stage hypnotist Dr. John Basso (Les Tremayne) reverts his beautiful assistant Doreena (Pat Delaney) into the physical form of a prehistoric sea monster she was in a past life. Using this power he attempts to find fame and fortune by predicting a series of murders and then using the monster to carry them out. Written by Jeremy Lunt {durlinlunt@acadia.net}
What do you think.
-
HMMMMM
-
ok. its been pointed out on here and many other sites that one of the fish on the slusho site is thinking about cheese, swiss cheese to be exact.
now what is unique about swiss cheese???
why the holes of course.
so now ya have holes and a fish
so maybe it has something to do with the holy fish or the darwin fish for example, ya know the one on the bumper stickers, the jesus fish if you will....
again this is just something that came to me and is prolly comepletely off base but Im wracking my brain over here and it just popped into my head.
any thoughts about this????
-
The Creature of Destruction is a remake of the She-Creature.
Maybe this is why Rob looks guiltily at the camera.
-
...into the origins of the creature(s). The whole thing may just be a bunch of people running from some unseen something(s) for a couple of hours.
-
become the hot site..because of a t-shirt and scudO says so? how certain are you that scudo is jj? nothing japanese makes sense. remember the simpsons episode when homer was on the dishwashing detergent box? what did anything in the japanese commercial have to do with anything? it was a poking fun at japanese cultural marketing. cheese and an ovenmit on the slusho site are just examples of the same nonsensical marketing. dont be duped people..you arent gonna find anything there.
-
http://www.slusho.jp/history.html
its a site but its not -
when I watch this movie I dont go into convulsions like the simpsons did in japan than Ill be fine.....
MISSHHAAA SHPARKEL -
1. "Cloverfield" -- Clovers are green and a field of them means a lot of green. "Soylent Green" = people. NYC has a lot of people.
2. "6" -- Music from the original movie: Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 and Beethoven's Symphony No. 6
3. "Rob" -- Main character from original and main char from this one. Both live in NYC.
4. "slusho" -- In the original, the gov't hands out rations made with plankton. In this one, an ingredient in Slusho came from the sea.
5. "Dead, dead" -- I'll admit, this may be a stretch, but the original sci-fi novel the movie was made from was "Make room! Make room!" Also, the Charlton Heston version dealt with population control. "dead" and "make room" both relate to that.
What do you think??? -
hahahahahahaha
-
Thank you for that post. I can't believe how epically out of proportion this whole "Voltron" thing has gotten. Seriously, it's taken over this film. All because people misheard a line in a trailer.
At least with you chipping in (and I just assume you know more about this film then the general public), people will stop this insane train of thought.
Though, I am a bit disappointed that it isn't Cthulu. In memory, there hasn't been a DECENT film involving him/it. And thought in the hands of abrams (even if he didn't adapt HPL's original novella [short story?]), it would have been great.
Well, fingers crossed anyway. The trailer has me interested. It did its job. -
also if you happen to fall into a volcano you better hope its one with a false bottom and you get a plane ticket home afterwards.
homer+lightbulb fish= hilarious

When you get to that page right click and select all. Then right click and select play. you will see the slusho hstory page minus the background.

ok I did a google search for famous birthdays on january 18th ( other than mine of course cuz Im not THAT famout YET)
but this guy pops out in my head.
jacob bronowski
he wrote a book called the ascent of man . he was born in 1908 and died in 1974.
this seems to somewhat support my earlier thought about the fish and the cheese possibly representing the JESUS FISH. we seem to leading to something here but what it is well we're still not so clear
-
No Cthulhu.... Oh well. I guess JJ knows what his next movie can be about. Heh Heh. Good luck JJ!
-
A.A. Milne was also born on 1/18/something.
This can obviously mean that winnie the pooh is attacking new york city on 1/18/08
time for eyore to kick some ass -
yeah that could be true. not sure if youve been following the posts on here but notice I didnt say anything was a fact ( ahemmmm mrx67 Im looking at you buddy) I merely said it was my speculation as did you with winnie the pooh.
any maybe I could play christopher robin since we share the same first name and all? I mean if we're gonna reach for ideas might as well go all the way huh?
-
lost sux
transformers suct
this movie is going to suc bad
voltron is going to suc
there is hope in batman -
can i just say concerning all these sites everyone is tryn to link this movie too... if u look at the "page source" for both the 01-18-08 site and the slusho.jp site they are both using the same visitor tracking.. so my guess is that any site that is actually linked to this movie legit will have the same tracker source ;)
-
and i also noticed that everything on the slusho site are in groups of either 6 or 4... dont know wat thats suppose to mean tho...
-
if you look at the bottom it has one full slusho, then six, then 3 full slushos then a 6 bellow it all before the writing. I went to www .1636. net and it is a japanese looking site. just some japanese writing on there but it has an e-mail adress on there to. no response yet though
-
It's "Parasite Eve". And yes, it's a remake.
-
btw.. regarding the tracker the 1-18-08 and slusho site are using... its called "URCHIN"
-
If I wore an "It's a lion!" T-shirt? Not that I believe that he says lion, but it would just make me laugh, and remember the hours I spent scouring the internet oh this whole schibang.
-
off to work till tommrow evryone
-
we are getting nowhere fast
-
Naw. It would probablt be something like this.
Captain: MRX67! Any leads on that dead hooker in the trunk of that car?
MRX67: Yes captain. By analizing the FACTS I've come to this conclution...stay with me...
The FACTS are these. 1. Dead hooker. Yes? But what do everybody assosiate with "hooker"?
Captain: Fuckin?
MRX67: No you boob. T.J. Hooker aka William Shatner! Right? Riiiiight.
Captain: Huh?
MRX67: And she was in the TRUNK of a car. Right? Riiiight...stay with me...
And what animals have trunks? Elephants!
Captain: ....
MRX67: And a CAR could only mean one thing....
Captain: What?
MRX67: Hotel California...Right? Riii..
Catptain: Actually that song was by the Eagles.
MRX67: ....Riiiiight.
Captain: So you are saying you have nothing?
MRX67: ...Riiight.
Captain: Riiiight.
-
gives you a "document not found" notification
-
Except we know that it's an original idea... i.e. not a remake.
-
you do know this'll be PG13
-
What the hell man. You just randomly ignore cups and come up with some random page that happens to have japanese.
-
google analytics uses the urchin tracker to track web traffic. sorry.
-
...now the most I can hope for is something Lovecraft-lite ala John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness...JJ, you would have locked me into a ticket with nothing else other than the word Cthulhu. I'll still be following this movie of course, but damn if it's not gonna be as much fun now. Guess I'll go rent the Tori Spelling Cthulhu...
-
it looks like winter, almost like it's snowing, and people are like freezing. but i have a laptop and so i sort of looked at my screen slanted, and in the backround, it looks like an explosion. anyone see the same?

about five seconds after the first "boom" when they're in the party, you can see in the backround, a snowboard, a red snowboard, with the letters AKM on it. i went to www.akm.com and it's a site...
-
are we talking about the same thing? because now the site has three. before it only had two. and when was the third one added?
-
that pitcture has been up there for the better part of the last two days.
if you found some of those sits you should have known that. not trying to be mean to ya bro but we're way past the 3rd picture now. when I say way past I mean we're still at point a but we would like to think we're moving towards point b sometime this yr.
:P -
odd when you mouse over all the butons to link to other areas on the slusho site they all start with f or d (fish frog duck donkey) probably nothing but no ones mentioned it yet
-
that might be the first original thought in a while. havent heard that thought yet. good job
-
yes i know this pauldanolover666 .. and the only 2 sites out of that whole list u just gave us that use the urchin tracker are the 1-18-08 site and slusho.jp .. so i was simply sayn that in my opinion wouldnt any other site that was a true link or a clue site to this movie use it also...
-
In the party picture, it seems pretty normal at first until you notice the guys eyes are solid dark colored and the woman to the far left is looking very fucking scary. Her eyes and expression and the fact that she seems bizarrely veiled.
-
You guys are doing absolutely nothing new. Not to bring down a thread, but take 10 min and read back through. Be Patient. And tell the Rampage douchbags to get some Reality.
-
What makes you think this isn't a Cthulu film???
-
I read somewhere else (weekend, bored, research time) that one of the other hangars that the phone number leads you to at Santa Monica airport is where E3 is on, maybe something will come out of that?
-
this is my first time posting. I had written a long one yesterday but it seems to be obsolete by now.
WTF is going on. I feel played with. like politicians wanting me do go to war' shit. were a bunch of smart, sharp, people, ;... so why cant we figure this it out. I ask ... Is there anything to figure out?
The Dark Night Joker thing was cool. All you had to do was enter numbers,. because all we wanted was to see what "He looks like". great.
jj abrams is such a cock teas that he doe's not have the balls to show us what he's come up with. either this hole thing is a hoxe or we "all" are dumb as dirt.
I do not want a fucking cartoon site about a cartoon mythical mom who becomes a whale. how silly is that. sorry does not flow jj. lost has made me tired and I thought this was a new chance. but all you seem to be good at is leaving me alone with a hard on I cannot cure. Give Us something to eat please. please, please.
As much as I despise this system of marketing...You have interesting Ideas JJ,.. will you-let us in on them. Or are you to scared.
-
Personally, I don't want to see much of the creature. Maybe a pair of red eyes in the distance or some massive shadow moving between buildings...or a giant foot coming down. Any full-on shot is gonna look fucking hokey with that cheap-ass budget. I'd rather see nothing than some sad TV-movie quality SFX monster.
-
I understand this could be fake, and it most likely is, but there is hidden text when you highlight the page. "All is not as it seems." and "Nothing is as it first seems."
-
He has dragged so many people along for three years. lets ask him... you now he's listing.. all the bullshit about voltron and lions and lovecraft, suck, unoriginal bastards wishing to gat attention.
JJ is the problem. just like the dark tower, its not up to the reader to make connection between story's. its the writer, producer "wtf" they are dictating this to us.
with that i wish there bark would meat the bite. -
spelling sucks
-
I don't kick ass for a living. That would be very hard work. It's more like a bad habit. We established this. My studio kicks ass, but that's a metaphor. For kicking ass. And, yes, the boycott is on, but I'm still gonna talk about this fucking movie and then burn a copy of the dvd from someone who did spend money on it. As far as that cryptic bastard being a racist...he IS slowly getting rid of all the black characters on LOST...huh?...huh?...Yeah. That IS fucking true...
-
Whoever said the shit about getting the "It's a lion!" t-shirt: That's a good idea. You should have some shit done up on cafepress.com. I would buy one. It has to have the whole quote, though--"I saw it! It's a lion! It's HUGE!!!"
-
we have power right? as fans who are making this viral, just like Ethan haas BS. We have a force that makes things come to the surface. lets use it. Lets make JJ nerves, lets make him sweat. this was a chance he took and its not working out. The production team is supposed to be brilliant, and aware of cultural trends...It does not seem like they do.
Lets propose, not a boycott, ... but a movement to be involved... let us in. make your Fucking Movie JJ, but invite us to the party you told us about. -
make as many fake websites, blogs, voltron, sluho, lovcraft, bible,UFOs,godzila, hollow earth, blue book, dr. strange love. go.. go go. lets damned answers by flooding it with so many false, that jj will have to give it up some how.
And, yes he pisses me off . but I still pay attention -
In an effort to make some sort of progress here, I've been checking out slusho.jp, hoping to discover a clue to another website (which is what I'm guessing we're supposed to find). For lack of any other ideas, I searched for "cheesefish" and found the site www.cheesefish.com. It looks like the type of site that I would expect an official site to look like, but I seriously doubt it. Maybe someone who knows more about this can find out if it's a new site or not (it's supposedly based out of the UK). And apparently, cheesefish is a lot more common of a word than I would have thought. I don't know, it seems we're all grasping at straws at this point.
-
Apparently not, numbnut. Me and a bunch of other people have seen the parallels in theme and tone between Lovecraft and the history portion of the Slusho site which MIGHT be the background of the movie, which means that we MIGHT be dealing with an awesome movie that is heavily influenced by Lovecraft a la Hellboy. People have bent over backwards to explain this shit to you but you keep shouting from a position of ignorance. Shut the hell up and let the grownups talk.
-
I also checked out youcantdrinkjustsix.com, it goes to paper-street's myspace website. Interestingly enough, if you watch the video on their myspace site, its just some random breakdancing video, but at the end, they guys start chanting about their area code, "818." The numbers and the release date gave me a chuckle. Definitely not related, though.

What you are seeing in the trailer is a glimpse of a somewhat literal interpretation of the Book of Revelations. The concept of the film is brilliant; make a blockbuster that will bring both the secular and Christian market together. As Passion of the Christ proved, there is a demand for well made Christian themed films. To capitalize on this under represented market, JJ Abrams had the idea to make a ‘Blair Witch’ style account of the tribulation seen through the eyes of those left behind. If you’ve ever read Revelations, you’ll know how a literal interpretation could serve as a great disaster film. Four giant scary beasts come and destroy Babylon (NYC in this case) in ONE HOUR. Don’t expect this film to be preachy. The studios don’t want to scare away non-Christians from seeing the movie. But by translating some of the descriptions on screen, the film will serve both markets.
Most Christians believe they are living in the end times and that the rapture will happen at any moment. The ‘Left Behind’ series is proof of this end time phenomena. Even though the books and movies are totally and completely lame, they are the hottest thing among Christians. Because of this those books have made millions.
Whether you are a Christian or not, you will love this film. Read the Book of Revelations and imagine it told in Godzilla/Blair Witch format. Here are a list of clues that demonstrate this fact.
Numeric clues:
1+1+8+8 = 18
Mark of the beast: 6+6+6 = 18
63 degrees: 6x3 = 18
The time on the 2nd photo 12:36: 6x6 = 36
The Slusho 6’s (Slusho and its story itself is a red herring)
Other clues:
The first two photos show demons. It’s not her hair, it’s a demon like Wormwood from the ‘Screwtape Letters’.
The explosion is hellfire that begins to rain brimstone.
The reason Rob asks where Jason is at the end of the trailer is because he’s been raptured. The rapture happens when the lights go out and we here the woman’s voice and first roar. If you don’t know what the rapture is research it on wiki.
The 1-18-08.com site is registered by the Freemasons. Research it and you’ll get the meaning.
The smoke you see in pic three is described in Revelations 9:18
The Statue of Liberty represents the whore of Babylon. Read Rev 17
For a more detailed answer to the clues read the following verses from the Book of Revelations:
Rev 6:12,13
Rev 7:1,
Rev 8
Rev 9:13-19
Rev 10:3
Rev 12:1
Rev 13
Rev 17
Rev 18
It might help to read these verses from different bible translations (KJV, NIV, etc.) to get different descriptions. -
their myspace image is the slusho shirt. Hah. And the guy who made the breakdancing DVD has some really interesting blog post on his myspace about how aliens from space are here among us, or something to that effect. Funny that paper street is using viral marketing within viral marketing to get viewers to their site. pretty slick.
-
Anybody think the party pic on the 1-18-08 site looks like the "friends" might be forcing Rob to drink something? Like some delicious Slusho™?
The girl in the left background is holding Rob's right arm. The guy in right foreground is holding Rob's left arm and the girl in the right background is pushing her shoulder into Rob's back?
Then again, it could just be they're holding his drunk ass up for another shot. -
http://myspace.com/slusho
the user picture is the slusho shirt, too. -
I read on a blog that the photos posted on the website were actually posted with the 2 faces first, the party second? Does anyone know if thats true? it may or may not make a difference but if so why would they be posted out of order?
-
Why don't we all just wait and see what the film is about. My money's on the fire-breathing lion.
-
Okay, maybe it is Biblical, but once you pull out some mathe and the Book of Revelations to prove anything, you've lost me. That shit can be about ANYTHING.

i went to the slusho.jp website and the one girl...long story short randomly typed in slushozoom.com and got an odd website with 5 pictures all are links...one is for a utah university genetic study...one links for 25 cent donations...one link is for ufo sightings in japan specifically in january...one is for slusho.jp and the one in the middle is a link to imdb.com for attack of the gargantuas (possible remake of japanese movie where two monsters...) just go there and read it and who knows

3 = Number of "roars"
11 = Dollars Rob owes.
Rev 3:11 -- "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." ----Statue of Liberty's smashed crown.
3rd Trumpet -- "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter." Revelation
8:10, 11
I don't know what to believe at this point. Any thoughts? -
theres two links at the bottom...couple sets of dots that lead to a news story about the cocaine energy drink and a link to a vaccine company in sweden
-
Remember when that one dude on Lost stepped on the urchin and how the Asian guy helped him?If I'm correct you can correlate (sp?) just about anything to anything, so I think this movie is a sequel/prequel to Lost, you see Hurley steps on this weird magical urchin and then swells to unheard of hights, in fact I've got a pic to prove it...http://tinyurl.com/2exzuq
Beware, it is quite disturbing. -
Yes, tonight I was the last human in the country to see Transformers. Pathetically, I was overcome with excitement to see the trailer for the cloverfield movie. I'd only seen it on the net.
P.s., dude says "lion". bwa ha ha -

That's how they were posted. Out of order. I don't know what to tell you. That's how they did it. Try not to obsess over it. You don't want to start posting stuff like ChampMasters or jamsun1227 with that 3 and 11 post. I get a headache just thinking about putting all that info together. Not to mention the lost sleep. Come on guys! Put the bibles away. It's just a monster movie by the guy who made up all that Rimbaldi stuff a few years back. Ease up on yer throttles! Yer gonna burn up that clutch.

You think that's bad? Switch out Dom for Harry. Now that's a scary picture!

just noticed when u seach ebay for items relating to slusho it comes up as a meteorite item for sale... hmmmm
was hoping to find a t-shirt .. -
...way, way, way beyond the man and his actual work... Lovecraftian genre does not require ocean... Pitch Black can be seen as Lovecraftian... takes place on desert planet with no oceans at all... No one said this has Lovecraftian feel because of ocean ONLY... much, much more to it than that. Kurzinski, look above my posts... I not saying IS CTHULHU... but look, there is one here still saying IS VOLTRON... ...not voltrony feel, not voltrony flavour, but actually saying IS VOLTRON! HIM you should be stfu-ing at ...not at me nor red ned!
-
Who needs a made-up sea creature when you've got the most awesome literary sea creature EVER that has yet to be successfully realized on film (I'm not counting "The Call of Cthulhu" that the HP Lovecraft Society put out - that is a very good movie for the budget they had, and quite scary - but it's not a multimillion dollar studio backed Cthulhu)? I'm afraid the rest of my posts are probably going to end up being depressed rantings about NO CTHULHU. Sorry folks.
-
...safe to ignore it now. Someone who keeps screaming the same nonsense over and over without ever engaging or directly replying to people trying to open a constructive dialogue with them is the definition of a troll. Let's face it, he didn't know the Statue of Liberty was in the water or the Slusho site history was all about the ocean and was screaming that there was nothing about the ocean. As soon as it was pointed out that he was being aggresively uninformed he switched, in the same insulting tone to "yeah, something meaningless on some fanboy site blah blah blah. felating myself on the web, look at me mommy, I'm a big boy now, I make doo in the pooty chair!" Which means he screamed that people were idiots who knew something he didn't, then screamed that people were still idiots because he didn't like what they knew. An absolute to engage in dialogue and a single minded desire to hurl invective. No point in even responding to it anymore. Either too stupid to understand or too immature to be able to engage even on this board. Which is a pretty sad commentary.

and this is still going on...before I ask whether or not we should move this talkback over to moris new post to hold with consistency, I'll ask in earnest....anything new since yesterday? approx 1700PST?
-
do people think www.whereisjason.com a possible website JJ has put up?
-
get an approximate count of how many people are there before the lights go out and after? i know its a stretch to do with the shaky filming and scene cuts but it really appears to be less people after the lights are out. maybe the rapture theory isnt too far off. there was mention made earlier about more than one 'thing'. possible..this thing is something that has not been seen before otherwise the guy woulda said i saw it. its a "???". its huge. not a lion. its indescribable or so shocking to actually see this thing (familiar or not) alive. the descriptions of things in revelations are a little hard to believe also. this thing seems to be airborne and huge. the head could have been ripped off or severed and dropped as opposed to smacked or thrown? plus the shocking look of the two girls are looking up. i dont think because this thing is 800 ft tall.
-
...I don't think there's any way to be certain. And the number of people on the roof looks large, but that probably doesn't even mean anything because people from other apartments could be there. There are plenty of things in Revelations that, brought to literal life, would certainly put at least the expression those girls are wearing on your face, though. Those head of a woman, body of a lion, tail of a scorpion things all the evangelicals were trying to pass as attack helicopters when they said the 70s were the end times would certainly get a look out of you. Well, me anyway.
-
From reading the answeres here, no new updates since 7/14/07 1700PST.
To those that have been hear since yesterin and prior (lurking)...Shall we move this party over to Moris new post? I know the Prof has already made that jump.
and after a f
