Cloverfield Trailer

This has been the talk of the internet since Transformers opened in theaters July 3rd and this trailer mysteriously played in front of it. After 390 comments on the article discussing what it is, what it could be, and tearing every little detail of the trailer apart, no one has still officially figured it out. All we know is that it's being referred to as Cloverfield and will hit theaters on 1-18-08. However, here's your chance to give it a full-on high definition whirl and see if you can figure more out, or just be shocked and amazed at it over and over again.

You can also watch the teaser trailer in High Definition at Apple

The mysterious secret project has had plenty of discussion with a few sparse details released in two articles on FS.net: the first here and the second here. J.J. Abrams is producing, but Matt Reeves is directing and Drew Goddard ("Alias", "Lost") is writing. The film will hit theaters next January 18th, 2008.

    wow toatally cool i did not notice all the sushi food and japanese stuff at 29 seconds. doesn't mean anything, no big break through just real interesting
  • Ladiesman217
    Haha, its already on youtube....won't be soon before its taken down though. Paramount acts pretty quickly. http://youtube.com/watch?v=YzfNQkwwT3c
  • anonymous
    How about this. Multiple meteors hit New York carrying parasites. That would explain the explosions and the earthquake.
  • Jessie
    It's the smoke monster from LOST :)
  • yossarian
    i really think it is cthulu. it would be real interesting. it won't be taken down anymore i think. clearly this looks like paramount has finally released it. this is the real thing because it has been fixed up a little
  • rigo
    my guess... monster invades new york, survival of the human race...maybe godzilla decided to make a comeback
  • http://ethanhaasthoughts.blogspot.com/ Unlived
    Finally the trailer is here!!!!!! We are helping each other solve the mystery at http://ethanhaasthoughts.blogspot.com/ Leave your thoughts and your ideas....this is getting really interesting!

    I don't know if anyone noticed this yet....a friend of mine looked at the source code for evanhaaswasright.com In the bottom of the code is this paragraph ...war came, no longer from the elemental nor from the star's rain of fire. The world was again remade, and the glow was as the coming of the sun upon the Earth. The children of the gods were again too few, scattered and divided and among them walked the ancients and those whose thoughts were not as to the towers and the marvels, but to the End and the destruction of the Earth and to the fires from which nothing could escape.
  • Mark
    How long do you guys think they can market this movie like this? I mean eventually they're going to have to give us a name and a plot synopsis right? Movies make money by getting LOTS of people interested. And the few of us who will blog this and research this will NOT turn a profit. So how long before the veil of mystery is lifted. Personally, I hope they wait as long as possible.
  • Anteros
    This version of the trailer should forever put to rest the idea that he says, "It's a lion" Thank God. I'm sorry, but this Voltron thing has been embarrassing from the get go and it has to die a quiet death. Someone asked why would they show a monster trailer before Transformers instead of a Voltron trailer. Let me explain. Studios do that all the time. They play their own trailers in front of their own movies whether the two are related or not. If, and a very BIG IF, the Ethanhaaswasright website is related to this trailer then there's very little doubt that it's Cthulhu. Too many hints along those lines are at that web site. No one has proved that it's all related however. It's all hearsay. If it's not related, however, then we are left open-ended with a very original monster movie. I hope for either one. It would be cool.
  • Anteros
    And for you fanboys out there wetting your pants over a Voltron movie, relax... it's coming. It's just not this one. Same thing goes for Evangelion. And Godzilla. Hold onto your hats... or whatever you prefer.
  • groovy
    Its the new austin powers movie. Remember you heard it here first.
  • Anteros
    And having said that, I see that there already is a movie called "Cthulu" released recently, though according to reviews it has nothing to do with the Old One. The official site is at http://www.cthulhuthemovie.com/ Apparently, according to some reviews at IMDB it's a Gay movie. No, really... a Gay movie. See for yourself. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478126/usercomments It's supposed to be a movie of Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" but apparently it's not really.
  • Anteros
    "Here likewise a rambling letter to the editor of a paper in South America, where a fanatic deduces a dire future from visions he has seen." Word for word from "The Call of Cthulhu" by H.P. Lovecraft Ethan Haas?
  • tspice
    i thinks its godzilla!
  • http://ethanhaasthoughts.blogspot.com/ Unlived
    Leviathin? Cthulhu? Gojira? What do you think???? http://ethanhaasthoughts.blogspot.com/
  • Aftab Bali
    Did he say "I saw it, it's alive, it's huge" to me it sounded like "I saw it, It's a lion, it's huge"
  • Anteros
    OMG, a giant lion is causing huge explosions in NYC and throwing the head of the Statue Of Liberty around like papier mache!! Arrrghh!! Sheesh... keep the under 12's out of the forum already!
  • Ox
    I have to admit...the Cthulhu theorists are starting to sound pretty dead on. If you read up on it...Cthulhu is always associated with controlling people's dreams and apocolyptic type destruction. I think Abrams is probably tying the Cthulhu in with the end of the world. If this is indeed the case...is this movie really going to work? I have my doubts...but the trailer just seems to good to let us all down.
  • Wynner3
    From J.J. Abrams little tidbit on Ain't it Cool News.com, this is the official website. To me it's a little weird. More to come I guess. just two pictures that you can move around, so far. http://www.1-18-08.com/
  • ChipNoir
    Follow some research. Giant Monster called The Parasite. Known about this movie for ages.
  • Researcher
  • CrackV
    Chip Noir, if by ages you mean days, then yeah, but if not, screw you, nobody outside production knew about it at all until the trailer. For the real info on this movie, go to the other forum. Check out all the sites that have popped up. http://www.ethanhaaswasright.com http://www.ethanhaaswaswrong.com http://www.parasitemovie.com http://www.tossinggames.com http://www.cloverfield.com and so on also, on IMDB theres a plant going by the name of "My_Name_Is_Van" who has told allot about the movie. Also, on the its a lion its huge thing, it may be alive, but i distinctly hear an N there. Funny thing i have noticed on all forums, nobody ever considers that he may have said "I saw it, its ALIEN, its huge". Kinda stretching it, but it may work.
  • CrackV
    Wow, then again, for the first time ever I actualy heard "alive".
  • nick
    AICN just reported (from Abrams himself) that the Ethan Haas sites have nothing to do with this movie. Here is what JJ Abrams said: quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ......
  • anonymous
    I knew it, thats why i didnt go to that craptastic website.
  • http://ethanhaasthoughts.blogspot.com/ Unlived
    Well guess what...JJ has nothing to do with http://ethanhaasthoughts.blogspot.com/ either..... and that's a good thing because it has to do with you!
  • nick
    about the comment i posted #30 ill quote "the only site of ours that people have even FOUND is the 1-18-08.com site" im guessing this is saying there other sites but no one has found them yet???

  • http://www.paynebyname.com Payne by name
    How thoroughly refreshing, though we've always known that it made sense, to have a trailer than actually excites and teases and doesn't try to tell the whole story and concept right off the bat. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that if you want to generate some buzz then create a little intrigue. Unfortunately too many studio execs haven't the courage to be daring and creative and thus when one eventually does it's treated with a 'wow this is amazing, who would have thought that would have worked'. How cool would it be if the makers of this film had the courage to leave this as the only pre-screening material available so that when entering the cinema you knew virtually nothing about the journey that you might be embarking on. The film looks exciting and they've done enough to guarantee my bum on the seat come it's launch.
  • http://Geeklabel.com Flynn
    I can only hope that JJ is doing some sort of Cthulu Movie. Whatever it is I will be there opening day cause that trailer made me forget about Transformers for about 30 seconds.

  • Bald
    I smell a lot of stupid in here. If you don't think this advertising will work, look up alternate reality games (ARGs) sometimes. And if it's a lion, then, Jesus Christ, get back in the car.
  • Anteros
    I've been hooked on this for a solid week now but I 'm losing interest. Not enough info. I've had enough. Back to my life.
  • http://www.myspace.com/misterdarkness Spoiler
    It's called "Call of Cthulu." It's not a remake of "The Host."
  • Lucas
    Jessie you are totally wrong. You will never be right.
  • Mike
    It's the movie TRENT REZNOR was thinking about while he was writing the music for NIN's "Year Zero" album.
  • spartan
    OK just another crazy idea......HALO the movie........think about it maybe, not sure, but wouldn't that be wild?
  • I eat spam
    WOuldn't it be crazy if it was a new Chuck Norris flick. Think about it. The Barber, not paying attention, messes the lines on Chuck's beard up causing him to go balistic and killing the barber with the fist that was concealed under the beard. He then summens all his karate energy to grow to a gigantic size so that he may reign terror down upon the tiny earthlings of biblical proportions. He starts in NYC decapitating the head of Lady Liberty. I would watch that.
  • Bryguy
  • Chris
    JJ Abrams himself has already stated that ethan haas has nothing to do with this movie. Ethan haas is about a video game. Hear me out...it's either Pokemon (yes, you read that correctly) or Cthulhu. Please read on... Visit Slusho.com and click the 4th link from the left, takes you to the feedback email address Satoshi@slusho.jp. So, a quick search on this Satoshi person reveals this Wiki info Satoshi Tajiri is a Japanese electronic game designer and the creator of Pocket Monsters, better known as Pokémon. The creator of Pokemon! Tell me this is not happening. :) Ok, you probably think I'm crazy now, but I'm reading more about the Pokemon creator, and guess what, he worked at Nintendo, on Pokemon, for 6 years. 6! "Slusho! You can't drink just six." Thoughts anyone else? Now, read the history page on slusho.com. There's reference to “many towns and villages on Honshu". Well, you guessed it, Satoshi was born in Machida which is located on Honshu! Apparently there's a Digimon character whose design is based on Cthulhu and named after Dagon. The character's English name is “Dragomon." Most Digimon of all levels reside in the Digital World (sometimes called “DigiWorld" for short), a parallel universe created from data inside the Earth's electronic communication networks. However, Digimon are sometimes capable of traveling to Earth - or as it is called in DigiWorld, the Real World. Courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ultimate_Digimon_(Part_1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ultimate_Digimon_(Part_1)#Dragomon - this is the pokemon character designed after Cthulhu, his type is Sea Animal and his level is ultimate (perfect). I read on another blog that the monster was a sea monster, can anyone else confirm that report? Oh, one more Pokemon coincidence, the kids on slusho.com (boy & girl = the two Pokemon kids) are under water. The Pokemon monster Dragomon is a sea animal! Dragomon is a Sea Animal Digimon. His Japanese name is Dagomon as he was named after Dagon of Lovecraft literature known as the Cthulhu Mythos, and appearance is based on Cthulhu of the mythos. Dragomon is a “Wicked God" referred to as “The Sinful Priest of the Ocean Floor". He is thought to be born from a computer virus that infected the computers of ships and such, disrupting direction and course. When he takes a life, he holds the juzu (prayer beads) on his neck and seemingly mourns. After all of the links I've found, I'm 100% convinced it's either Pokemon or Cthulhu (hybrid of both) related. Probably Cthulhu, and these Pokemon clues are just a way of confirming that it's Cthulhu. Then again, stranger things have happened.

    i am not good at spoting things at all so a couple ideas for you guys with good eyes yet crappy equipment, watch the video without sound and then listen to it without video, it helps a little....for me at least

    Ok... I have watched and watched and listened and listened. and I have a question The initial shake or earthquake or whatever it is. At that moment there is a loud sound that to me sounds like a voice before the moan. Like its saying a name or something. I don't know.. Someone with better ears then me please check that part out. its at about 1:09.
  • Joshua
    While my favorite contender for the monster star in this mystery trailer is Cthulhu, has anyone considered the location difficulty with that? Cthulhu sleeps in sunken R'lyeh, which is in the South Pacific...pretty sure the ol' Statue of Liberty is on the Atlantic coast. Just a thought...
  • Craig
    I know JJ Abrams likes Anagrams but I haven't come up with this one yet (if it even is one). Cloverfield The best I have is Evil/Vile/Veil Cold Rev(olution?)
  • Montezille
    You Guys!! I listened to this 32 times exactly (call me obssesed if you must) and when you here it the first time it says "I saw it, Its a lion! Its huge!" I have no doubt the only reason people here "its alive" is becasue when you hear it more your ear and nerves get weary to the sound so the first is always mostly right, trust me he said lion.
  • Montezille
    Oh and the movie has a couple code names: Cloverfield, The Parasite and 1-18-08. No one knows which of these are the real name if any of them even are. But there are no faces in the fire or that girls hair, your just getting a little creative.
  • http://thelegendofaphrodious.myfreeforum.org/index.php Montezille
    And I think the Lion might breathe fire or something, but im almost certainly sure that the man said lion.
  • http://thelegendofaphrodious.myfreeforum.org/index.php Montezille
    And maybe the lion got infected by some parasites that made him huge and breathe fire?
  • nick
    u guys are stupid

    Okay what ever man trust me i have very excellent hearing don't be so close minded.
  • AZ
    I noticed the above comment from http://www.thegossiprag.com ... It looks like they have setup a 'Cloverfield Watch' for tracking the latest information on the movie. Pretty cool
  • Whitey
    Ok, here are my two cents and its all I'm going to give... I took the work CLOVERFIELD and put it into a few anagram generators. The most interesting combination I came up with was COLD FIRE LEV. Now before you say LEV is not a word, I took that and punched it into some definition sites. LEV basically translates into... LION! So run with that... or not.
  • Tythandril
    First off, the guy definitely says "I saw it! It's Alive! Its HUGE!" Also there is a very good film on you tube with an analyzation about the trailer; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im7wWMVzIyg pretty interesting. I'll throw in my twenty cents, I think its probably a movie about either: The end of the world, Gamera remake (Thats right), or Cthulhu. These are just my oppinions but one thing that strikes me odd about Gamera from the japanese films is he could breath a massive fire ball and he also fed off fire so its a possibility that if godzilla can show up in new york, so could Gamera
  • nick
    u can scratch off "The end of the world" and wat you think it might be because we already know its a monster movie jj told us so idk y every one thinks its an end of the world movie

    Ok.... Friend of mine was checking out the slusho.jp site. Apparently the name of the the girl on the sites father is the name of a character in a Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster movie. Coincidence?
  • Blake
    Seems like Godzilla to me. At :54 some guy says, "What kind of animal sounds like that?" Then there is the fireball which could be explained by the fact that Godzilla breathes fire. The roar doesn't sound like Godzilla, but they could have changed it.
  • Shadow
    Pfff I Dunno I just say its another Good ass Monster Movie. I'm just gonna wait it out... I mean we know "its a lion its huge" And "sounds like a animal" I say wait it out and see... I really dont see the big deal...:) my opinion

  • Cifty Fent
    hey guys, i have read all the comments and actually first i thought it is godzilla too, but i cant believe they make a new reremake of it , remember i think 8 years ago there was the last remake in cinemas and it was very good. I like godzilla but do you think the creator of lost will make a movie with godzilla? All the other clues are very fine of course , but think different. the guys who made this movie will keep it secret for sure and what would be better if we take all the people out there in this fanmovie world and make them believe its a monster movie !! i think 50 % of all think its godzilla or this other monster .... forget the name ^^. i have a few ideas and i didnt make any searches for information after i saw this amazing trailer here are my few ideas what it could be (i know some of them are to stupid but ....) 1. halo 2.Final Fantasy 3. I am legend (new movie with will smith ^^) 4.AVP2!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE IT IS 5.Alien 5 (without ripley) 6.Pokemon movie (i hope not uaaaarrrghh) 7.Any Marvel movie or something 8.Transformers 2 (that would be lol) 9.some invaders movie 10. hellboy 2 and now guys my first idea after godzilla, and also my favorite hope ... Dragonball or its something new we all never will find out till they tell us ^^ at last excuse for my bad english iam from germany and eglisch is not my favorite ^^
  • Cifty Fent
    it could be a lion if the guy in the movie think he see one?! but it also could be another animal that looks like a lion or really the new enemy for godzilla that looks like a lion. But the first time i have see and hear the trailer i understand alive and not lion. possible is everything ^^
  • Cifty Fent
    So guys my brain has going to get crazy but i think i got the best idea what it is i wonder why they show it before the transformers movie, i read about it a few minutes ago and actually could it really be a second transformers movie? Anybody knows the Beast Wars saga? could be really a lion cause there the transformers transformed into animals tell me if iam wrong with that cya
  • BAM
    YOUR SO FUCKIN STUPID IT AINT FUCKIN HALO ITS NOT I AM LEGEND IF U SAW TRANSFORMERS THEY HAVE A TRAILER FOR THAT MOVIE BEFORE IT DUMBASS IT AINT NO STUPID FUCKIN POKEMON U IDIOT AND ITS NO FUCKIN DRAGONBALLZ WTF ITS NOT FINAL FANTASY AND ITS NOT AVP2 THEY ALREADY HAVE A TITLE FOR IT ITS ALIENS VS PREDITOR DUMB FUCK AND IT AINT TRANSFORMERS 2 OR GAY FUCKIN HELLBOY AND FOR THE FUCKKN 2394348 TIME ITS NOT NO FUCKIN GODZILLA SO SHUT THE FUCK UP U GODZILLA FAN FAGGOTS YES CLIFTY FENT FAGGOT UR WRONG IS SHOWN BEFORE TRANSFORMERS CUZ ITS ON PARAMOUNT PICTURES JUST LIEK TRANSFORMERS DUMBASS

    Has anyone else been on the official website lately (www.1-18-08.com), because I've just been on and there's a new photograph with the other two photographs. I can't make it out, but looks like a person running, and two women with their hands covering their mouths. Haven't a clue what that flash of blinding light is. Also one more thing, the numbers on the bottom right of each photograph (there's the date 01/18/08 and then some more numbers which look like the times of the day). Anyway they seem to go up, the first picture of the party is 12:01A, the second picture with the two girls scared shitless is 12:36A and the third one (the new picture) is 12:48A, maybe we'll get see some more photographs in the coming days, and if my theory is right, it should shed some more light on the events taking place as the day goes on (in the movie of course), if you get my drift.
  • bam
    cool "anonymous" thx for pointing out the obvius we know in the bottom right its the date a time were not fuckin stupid. ya the pic is two grls running one guy to the far right running and theres another guy in the middle standing there if u look at ur screen from an angle u can see him good. and no hes not a clue every seems to think that every little thing is a clue. the light is from idk who knows maybe a buling idk streetlights
  • John
    If you think he's saying "It's a lion", you're deaf. If you listen, you will definitely hear him enunciate the "v" sound of the word "alive". Besides, wouldn't that give away too much if someone said "IT'S A LION!!OMGIFWEFEEDHIMHELLLOVEUSANDWECANSELLHIMTOAZOO!!!11". Point being, that would be stupid. I doubt the creature will be anything we've ever seen before. That would be the best thing and would make it more original. Can you imagine this movie being anything close to decent if the creature was a gigantic lion? Rawr.
  • JON
    I KNOW WHAT IT IS GODZILLA
  • Manpata
    re-arange the numbers 1-18-08 to 80-81-1 then to 80811 and search it on Google, there's an article about toxic waste being dumbed into the New York bay, maybe that's where "The Parasite" came from? P.S. sorry if anyone already posted this lol

    Pause the Hi def trailer at 1:34, there is a shape in the smoke, I am not going to speculate, but tell what everyone thinks.
  • Sinner
    OK, they say alive & not lion, so it's probably not Voltron. Plus I heard a different company is making Voltron & not Paramount. So Bam, is it Call of Cthulu or what? Is that the completely original monster movie? I suppose it could be b/c I've never heard of it.
  • Sinner
    I'm leaning towards Gamera b/c Godzilla 3D is coming out this summer sometime & it's only 40 minutes long. However, that roar did sound vaguely like Gojiras, didn't it?
  • Manpata
    ok, the licsense plate on the black SUV outside the building is ABZ 3293, now i think thats Robs car because its parked closest to the door but i dont know for sure, if you go to http://www.abz3293.com a person is looking for the driver of the car and he needs something from the car "a family heirloom", now, Rob is leaving for Japan, maybe the person looking for Rob has something to do with the monster but i dont know for sure again, now when i say the person looking for Rob i mean someone in the movie or the movie people making it are just giving us a hint, plain and simple Rob is the main character and a person needs something very special from him but is having trouble getting it so he gets this monster on him, or maybe its just a stupid licsence plate and the website is a hoax lol, i dont know, k bye
  • Manpata
    another idea, what if the movie is actually called 1-18-08?
  • Sinner
    Somebody already suggested that. The question is, what threw that Liberty head. That's want we want to know. Who cares what it's called. Another thing, how did I get on this site yapping with ya'll? I'm supposed to be working. Where is Bam?
  • Sinner
    So, what's up Manpata? Are we the only nerds left? What's really goin on?
  • Sinner
    Where the hell did Bam go? He's either full of it or he knows something we don't. I want to see if he can type anything without dropping the F bomb. Bam, I think it might be Gamera. What's up?
  • Tom
    Ok a couple more tidbits, If you go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasius_Balkin_Zeno you get a possible clue, and here is another interesting page? http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/politics.html
  • Sinner
    That was interesting Tom. I'm still completely in the dark but that was interesting. Those 3 pics are just creepy though; the way you can move them around like that.
  • Tom
    Oh and another find tonight, (can you tell I am hooked) On the Slusho site with all the writing about science and growing into a giant whale. The family lived on Honshu, plug Honshu and Godzilla into a search engine and you will find that More than a few Godzilla movies are centered in Honshu? The puzzle is coming together
  • Manpata
    believe me Sinner i dont do this ussually i just found the teaser really mysterious i dunno
  • Red
    Ok, found something interesting... If you go to the Slusho-O website and read its "history" it says the company is based out of Honshu (in Japan). If you go to google and type in: godzilla honshu, a bunch of different websites pop up. If you read the lines describing the sites posted most of them are about the different godzilla movies made and they're all based out of Honshu... Basically meaning that's where he attacked his enemies each movie. Just something interesting that helps the whole godzilla theory. Oh and btw if you think this movie is about a lion you're a moron.
  • Red
    With what Tom said about the giant whale thing. If you look up what godzilla means it's a cross between two japanese words. One meaning gorilla (meaning strength) and another word that means whale (referring to size).
  • Sinner
    Well gotta jet. Manpata, Tom, it's been a pleasure. Later Red. I thing it could be Gamera but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Godzilla. Let's be nerds again tomorrow. Later guys. GOJIRA!!
  • Red
    Didn't know if this already posted, can't seem to find it. Found a new website. There are 2 very interesting things and 2 not so interesting things on it. The 2 not so interesting ones are the cloverfield website and the official cloverfield trailer site. The 2 more interesting things are The countdown on the page counting down to August 1 (another trailer perhaps?), and the pair of red eyes staring at you. For the people who are totally against the Godzilla idea, he has red eyes... Still TOTALLY sure it's not Godzilla?

  • GetShorties
    Ok this took a few hours of snooping around, but I have reasons to believe (though this would not work well with slusho unless he did that for all his Bad Robot advertising) that this may be a Revelations type movie as well, and here's why: I searched and searched thru the Mystery Street thing but to no avail. Then someone here posted something about revelations 18:8 so I went for a read. I found this there: 'And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!' Link Which led me to 1:18 'I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.' While browsing I found this one too: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY (as in Mystery St???), BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Now if you have read Revelations you know that Babylon is 'the great city that falls' which is supposed to be the world's business/sin hub...not NYC u say? lol) NOW - I went back and searched ABZ 3293, tried everything. I tried history of the date 3/2/1993 and even 3/2/1893, and even 3293 BC and found this: Scroll down to ABZ it is an abbreviation that has to to with a man named Rykle Borger who coincidentally wrote a book and was a leading researcher in guess what? BABYLONIAN LINGUAL DECIPHERING!!!(Assyriologist) Link His book was called 'Assyrisch-babylonische Zeichenliste' (ABZ) Guess when it was friggin last published? '63... Anyone notice that it was 63 degrees in the news flash in the trailer? 63 degrees in NYC in Jan at midnight??? I think not. At this point, I nearly shat myself, and began hunting deep into the world of translation of babylon scripts. I found out that AKM can also be Aleph-Kaph-Mem, lost link. Aleph-kaph-mem when googled led me to the definition 'Angel'... Upon more searching for the 3293 part I found this: Estimated Death Year of Adam (from Genesis and of Adam and Eve fame) to be 3293 BC... Link HMMMMMMMMM......... Now, throw in the fact that we have been bombarded with the number 6 (mark of the beast)... Extra Facts: -The Beast is synonomous with the Abyss (ABZ = Abyss also? prolly not but hey Ive been up a few extra hours now so sorry) -People claim that someone could have drawn in the 'devilish' looking silhouette in the girls' hair, very true - but the hair thing is overdone so moving on... -I have to sleep. I'm sure theres more links I forgot to add but this is long enough as it is. Good Luck

    ok bam all the other movies i told ya were only ideas!!! oK!! not more also if u read my post u can see i alsothink it could be something different that nobodys knows at this time. What about this smoke monster ? i heard about it from lost?
  • bam
    ya all the lost fans are like "OMFG SMOKE MONSTER AHHHDAFJSDFGL" but me on the other hand think the smoke monster is the dumbest monster ever. ok people seriously think about it a monster that is black smoke?? that is the stupidest idea of a monster ever id rather the film be pokemon or godzilla then some black smoke that some how and lift things up?? how can u kill smoke anyway smoke isn't even scary at all? so no i don't think its the smoke monster i actually think the smoke monster is lame as fuck. what do i think it is? ive said it before its a ORIGINAL NEW MONSTER thats what i think it is Abrams even said it like when this whole thing started. and red http://www.parasitemovie.com or w/e it is is fake and sinner i dont think its Cthulu cuz there is already a Cthulu movie made and if we were to remake it i doubt we woudl remake before it even came out any where the site is http://www.cthulhuthemovie.com/
  • Ed
    When you listen to the trailer on a sucky sound system it does sound like that guy is saying "Its a Lion!" but when you listen to it on a GOOD sound system or just put some headphones on you can clearly make out the 'v' at the end of "Its Alive!" Trust me. I thought he said lion at first also because I listened to it on my friends regular laptop speakers but then when I got home to MY laptop thats hooked up to a separate BOSS sound system the word "ALIVE" came out loud and clear. Now when I first thought it was "lion" I figured the movie was Voltron. But JJ is not directing that movie. Thats what made me go back and listen very closely to what that guy said and low and behold it turned out to NOT be "lion." Besides, if everyone knew it was Lion already there wouldnt be any need for all this build up. I dont think the producers would be THAT brain dead to let the cat out of the bag at this point. This is an ORIGINAL monster movie. Im a Godzilla fanboy as much as the next person but Godzilla this movie is not...and it better not be because that would be a HUGE let down. I dont mind seeing another Godzilla movie come out but I dont want THIS movie to be that. All this build up and then it turns out to only be Godzilla? Please. Get some imagination people. So having said that i think its safe to say that we can rule Godzilla out so PLEASE lets not speak of him again on this thread. As a matter of fact I think its also safe to say that if this movie IS anything we've all seen before after all this secrecy, suspense, and build up then JJ, your head will be served on a platter.

    IT'S LOST!!! It has to be, Abrams is a creative genius! I believe it will connect to the show somehow, one thing I always go back to is the pilot EP of lost when Rose is heard in the background mentioning something familiar about the sound of what they thought might have been a monster at first, then someone asked her where she was from with her response being New York, and obviously the 'others' have 'powers' off the island and may be the cause or at least know something about what is happening in that crazy trailer, I think 'monster' may be a little strong of a word for whatever that sound is just as it was when lost first came out. I'm still not sure whether the island is from the future or is just a 'Noah's Ark' in progress for those who survive the world's near end, but this movie just may be that 'near end' and explaining a lot just before we go into the 4th season of Lost. I'm even thinking perhaps some sort of water world where land mass is rare, the island may not even be an island but more so what's left of the Oregon coast range, sounds crazy but so is that show, and that trailer!!!

    I never saw any lost episodes here in germany also u in amerika have lightyears before us watching that shit haha. My new theorie is that this could be a movie about Evangelion, anybody seen this manga? Its amazing i think this could be the first impact destroying the whole world. Evangelion is a manga about world destroying through a big Impact, Angels are sending to earth from somewhere to destroy the rest of all but the humans build robots or something against them to defeat them with human pilots help very interesting if they will make a movie of it and the story would be so hugh !!! lol
  • Tom
    OK Lets look at this thing Step by step. First the Trailer Surprise party for Rob who is going off to Japan, Thunderous roar, (No explosion) They all run to the roof to see what they can see. A huge Fireball preceded by another roar. Everyone runs downstairs into the street and the masses are running past in terror "I saw it Its huge and Its alive" There is more destruction and the Statue of Liberty's head comes saoring through the air bouncing off buildings and cars and lands in the street. Now some analysis: The Roar is first, almost a growling roar, like something huge making its presence felt. There has not been and explosion yet and when they are watching the news the only thing brought up is the "roaring Sound"! Ok so whatever this thing is it is alive. (Not a Lion) Listened about a hundred times, you can definately here the V, also have seen the trailer in the Theaters 3 times now and its very clear there. So a couple things can now be deduced, 1. This thing was already on the earth, nothing from Space, No sightings of it entering the atmosphere, no impact on the earth etc. ( I think that would have led the news broadcast instead of a "Roaring sound". and 2. This thing came out of the water, Liberty Island sits in the middle of the Hudson River, so whatever this thing is again, had to run across the Statue and destroy it prior to coming into Manhattan. Mosty likely a primative predator who mistook the figure as a challenge to its territory. As for the clues, The Slusho shirt and the mysterious history of the company on its website, DEFINATE clue. Rob's oing to Japan, Clue, Sushi, Clue. I dont think every thing in the trailer is a clue, its part of a movie, so to pack more than a few clues into the scene you are releasing as the Teaser Just isnt Logical, Are there more, I do think so, the ABZ 3293 came up with a few thought provocing sites, The Wiki about this Zeno Character who was killed for Profisizing the end of the world on 1-18-08 is more then coincidental, I dont know enough about these things to figure out when that page was originally posted to Wiki, my bet, in the last month or so, certainly not more than the beginning of the year. But every thing in the room is not a clue, we all need to look harder and be more selective. The fact that nothing came from outer Space leaves out the Voltron thought, sorry for that camp, its just my opinion though. As for a Lost movie, as passionate as the fans are, I cant see there being enough of a following to support a feature film, sorry there too. This Chutlu? whatever that is, (and I think that sais a lot) remember everyone, to get a movie funded the studio has to believe the story is recognizable enough to draw people into the Theaters, Lovecraft was a great writer, But the demo for this flick, will definately be the 20-35 range, Not enough of those people even knwo who lovecraft is. Gamera, see all the above. A cult Anime flick, see above again. As for Revelation, That is a distinctly catholic belief, and one thing in movies just doesnt sell, cramming your beliefs down somoeone else throats, see Battleship Earth. So all this leads me to some final thoughts. First we know there is more out there, just keep looking the pieces will come together. And Second this is sometihng both JJ and the Studio think they can sell, Either its a totally new Creature flick which would be fine by me, seeing something original is refreshing, or its a Godzilla flick, I know Godzilla 3D is in production, but that is a 40 minute thing, that is going to see little theater time, Also if you research the franchise you will find that in 04 Universal lost the rights to the sequel, and Emmerich was no longer associated with the Project, Toho the onwer of the rights, and the Japanese fans wer none too happy with the 98 flick, Broderick a JOKE, giant Iguana? it only took minor thoughts from the spirit of the character, I can see Toho, hiring a Franchise fantatic, which Abrams is supposed to be to make a true Godzilla flick, true to the history of the franchise to get people interested in it again, (SEE batman begins) a real movie compared to the live action cartoons that were the Shadow of the comic. Oh and last thing, if you dont have it go buy a copy of the original Japanese version, It is Darker and plays up the apocolypse and end of the world talk WAY more than the Raymond Burr version. It was a movie that pulled no punches like the american pelease did. So everyone keep looking and post what you find.

    C'mon people, for the hundreth time, ITS NOT GODZILLA! Its NOT Pokimon. Its NOT Lost. Its not Voltron. Its not Cthulu because there is already a movie coming out very soon about it called....you guessed it... CTHULU! Its also not Dragonball Z or Power Rangers (Those choices would be lame, lame, LAME!) There is also NOT ANY LIONS INVOLVED! You people are like that guinney pig on the Simpsons that shocks himself and then repeatedly keeps shocking himself while trying to get the food KNOWING that the food dispenser is electrified. Wake up people! This movie is not ANY of the above. It is an origional movie with a BRAND NEW monster so we might as well all sit back and wait until 1/18/08 to get the definate answer.

    Do you think some of the theories that have been posted are getting a little too complicated?

    pertaining to the guy on the street asking "Has anyone seen Jensen?" Jeff Jensen conducted an interview with Abrams and his 'Lost’ gang AND Stephen King titled “When Stephen King Met The 'LOST’ Boys". http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1562722,00.html “But suddenly, the No. 1 question stopped being ”What is the Monster?” and went to being ”What do the Numbers mean?” This isn't to say that the Numbers don't mean anything. We just had no idea it had this potential to get totally out of control."

    just an observation... In the trailer...When they are going to the rooftop just before the explosion... you can see Rob.. and behind him... you can see the empire state building lighted green .... I was in NYC in St. PAtricks day and it was lighted green .. and i thikn that's the only day they do that! And if they only turn green the building that day .. how come it's all green if it's January-18th??!

    oh and those fireballs/comets or whatever they are look a lot like the one that landed on Hurley's fast food place that the island was probably responsible for, and the more I listen to the roar of the 'monster' the more it sounds like the movie version of what we hear from the 'monster' on lost, in which we never really saw for the longest time (and still don't really) yet it still appeared to be huge and capable of trashing on huge trees or anything in it's path. I'm thinkin the people at the going away party may just be a glimpse of real life people going through the world's end and dead before this movie even gets started, except maybe the 'main dude' (lol), but not sure, even he may be a quickie as the film moves on to something much bigger...
  • http://www.myspace.com/decksplace decker
    k this one is crazy, lol, but maybe Locke is the one that died in the future flashes of Jack and is related to Jacob (John Jacob) and so angry over being forced off the island that once into his afterdeath he lays down his rage onto the rest of the world leaving it clear of his island and those lucky few who still roam it, with Jack and them somehow getting back to it, yep this one is nuts!

  • Subjugate
    Its alive Its a lion I think the guy who says it is full of it, he just matches the roar with his first thought. Lets look at where the guy is, he is running and they find him just outside the party, he could of been in the party for all we know. Now if he is telling facts how did he manage to find out what it was, they are on the other side of the explosions and it is night time, so how did this guy manage to get from what is probably the harbor (statue of liberty head) all the way to the party area. seems like a bad choice in evacuation routes if you ask me, not to mention if he is not BSing then why does the news have such inaccurate information.
  • http://www.myspace.com/decksplace decker
    yeah just the fact that that dude is even there and sayin what he is sayin is reason to believe Abrams is tryin to do what he does best, mislead you, whether it relates or not he did the exact same thing with lost, the people there were refering to the so called 'monster' has a gargantuan and alive even though they never seen it, just appeared so by it's sound and destruction of it's path, just like the trailer... such a top secret film and no title is brilliant but ohhhhh man, Abrams HAS to deliver now! if it turned out to be a monster esp Godzilla, it would be very disappointing to most, not sayin it would suck cause it'd still look entertaining but not as nearly as mysterious which Abrams is all about, so I'm not worried... http://www.ethanhaaswasright.com http://www.myspace.com/decksplace

    first of all the guy doesnt say its a lion he says alive we have been over this sooooo many times go watch the HD trailer u can hear it better he wasnt in the party he was obviusly some where past the building from where the party is u can tell cuz when the all walk out side he is just walking past the building he was obviusly some where where he could see the monster ignor ethan haas was right

    I just had a thought, if you look at this map you will see the distance the head had to travel to get to any area surrounding the statue. Maybe it's chucking peices of the statue at things. The statues arm may have caused the first explosion by hitting a gas tanker port depo. Have any of you seen the movie Deep Rising would that sea monster be a parasite? http://www.greatbuildings.com/cgi-bin/building_map.cgi?Statue_of_Liberty
  • This Is I
    01-18-08 USA (trailer title) 1-18-08 USA (promotional title) Clover USA (fake working title) Cloverfield USA (fake working title) Slusho USA (fake working title) That's the IMDB database. So you can rule out Cloverfield or Slusho as the title. But both of them definitely have something to do with the movie, probably. Who was Godzilla's nemesis? Has anyone thought about that? And the Statue of Liberty's head was NOT thrown. Look closely, and you'll see it was hit by one of the fireballs, I guess you would call them.

    another possible LOST tie in is the fact the movie is coming out 01/18/08 and if you rearage that a little you get 108 108 now if thats not a LOST tie in i dont know what is

    of course even if the film doesn't have anything to do with lost, Abrams will still get his kick out of makin us all think so, but I can't stop thinkin more and more that it is indeed tied one way or another!
  • lolwut
    Oh hey guys, I was just watching the trailer again and I noticed something around 1:03 marker. If you look closely, you'll see that you're all a bunch of fuck wits who have nothing better to do in your pathetic lives. Maybe it's a completely original monster movie. Have you considered the fact that MAYBE the director doesn't want to something that's been done before? Godzilla and Cthulhu are both at the bottom of the list, Cthulhu being above Godzilla. For fuck's sake, just wait for more content to come out. You're all over evaluating what's available. And Bam is probably the most worthless faggot to ever visit the internet. Thanks for nothing, kiddo. Kill yourself.
  • Andrew
    Its is not Godzilla. Why. The roar is different from Godzilla's Even in the crappy American movie they still keep the roar the same from the jap movies from the 50's through the 70's. When i first saw this i thought it might be Evangelion. But if it is then the american movie buissness has just killed another movie based on an anime/ book/ T.V. series.

    This movie comes out on 1-18-08 right? Inverse the number and take out the dashes. You get 80811. Google that and you get a document about toxic waste being dumped in New York. This is not Godzilla, that's too played out. It's not Cthulu, that was already done very recently at a film festival. There's a book written by someone about a planet that orbits Earth every 1,000 years or something, and the people making Transformers also were thinking about this a while back, and this preview is only at the Transformers movie...

    After reading everything, I've come to two conclusions: 1.) While there are some signs that point to both the Cthulhu and Godzilla theories, they're probably actually doing something original. Honestly, I'd be disappointed if it were a Godzilla movie. I'd be somewhat enthusiastic if it were a decent Cthulhu movie, but I doubt it really is. Until we see more videos or get more websites, I'm going to guess it's something unique. 2.) Bam is really the worst poster on this board and should probably shut the fuck up.
  • seraph
    I'm not positive, but I think when the debris is hitting the building and the footage is all broken apart, there's a subtle message. If you slow it down and listen beyond the people screaming, you'll hear: "Ru-" probably Run "Oh my go-" probably Oh my god "Shu-" probably Shut "The fu-" probably The fuck "Up Ba-" probably Up Bam So we have five sequences, all with small fragments saying "Run... Oh my god... Shut... The fuck.... Up Bam..." I believe it's a sign that Bam should stop posting and take his anger out on his dick, preferably by removing it with a butter knife.
  • Cifty Fent
    seraph i like your style very well and for me u have so right with that hahahah very nice ;-) but guys i found something interresting, a man that was on the set of that movie? perhaps http://www.9news.com/life/entertainment/article.aspx?storyid=73653 this could be agreat clue if this is real! the man at that article said its a new monster in this movie no sequel or something and u will find a lot of clues on that slusho page but its hard i think, also he said u should listen to the roar more and this line where the guy said: 'I saw it ' Its alive' Its huge' For me this sound not like ALIVE!!! how about : 'I saw it' ITS A LIGHT' Its huge?
  • Cifty Fent
    For those who won't take the link? here the report for new information the other half i have past cause we all know the other shit ;-) 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 http://www.1-18-08.com, but the source tells Kirk that apparently a Japanese-style Web site, http://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.

    Hi it's me again (I would like to be known as "anonymous"), but I've just seen something crazy, this is of course something to do with this movie. I'll start from the beginning, as I'm REAllY BIG film critic I have a lot of movie websites that I go on to looking for sweet juicy information on really cool movies coming out, such as this movie. I've just been on one of my favourite websites (www.countingdown.com), and found a post relating to this movie with two videos posted by two different members on there, both these videos were from youtube which I'm sure you've all heard of. And I think I literally (well I did) PUKED all over my computer screen with disgust regarding the 1st video, and PISSED myself with laughter regarding the 2nd video because it was just so god damn funny here are the links to the videos, copy & paste into your browser so you can watch them (if you want to). Trailer 1 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=qTpYGJzqcUU Trailer 2 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=filMlR3JYVk Personally if I knew what both of these ideos were before watching them, I wouldn't bother watching the first one as I DO NOT BELEIVE THAT THIS IS WHAT IT IS, IT'S A LOAD OF FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! ...Sorry just had to get that out of my system, if you want to know what I mean watch it, but don't hold me responsible for ruining your own computer screen by puking up last nights dinner. The second I'd just watch for a laugh or if made PHYSICALLY SICK by the first video, and need cheering up again I'd watch this straight after. But I wouldn't beleive what this guy hopes it to be either. If the links don't work when you paste them into your browser tell me and I'll repost them. Oh yes, and just tell me what you think the videos are like, I mean there is now PISSING way it could be that... I wouldn't even bother picking up a poster of the damn film never mind going to see it at the cinema. There' just no way...

    Ok guys, back again... It is absolutely not Lost! Sorry to all you Lost fans out there but that would be ridiculously stupid since no one I know watched past the first season of Lose (I watched the first season, it got old, sorry). Secondly, this Cthulu/ bible theory is totally wrong. Only a handful of people really know about Cthulu and religious films only draw in so many people because religion causes huge issues in society between different groups. As for the outer space ideas, uhm... NO! If it was from outer space we would have been given some clue about that by now, we have not found or seen anything that would suggest it's from ANOTHER planet. IT'S NOT A FREAKING LION SO IF YOU STILL THINK THAT YOU'RE A COMPLETE MORON. I'm sticking with the Godzilla idea... Support? 1. "I saw it. It's alive. It's huge." Not too many giant monsters that are FROM planet earth. 2. He's going to Japan and they're eating sushi. 3. It very obviously came in from the Hudson River where the Statue of Liberty is located. 4. It roars (I don't freaking care if it doesn't sound like the roar from the previous movies it sounds pretty damn similiar to me.) 5. If you go to the Slusho website the "secret ingredient" supposedly came from the bottom of the ocean. 6. The history of Slusho states it could turn a small fish into a big whale... The word godzilla dervies from the japanese words gorilla and WHALE. 7. Slusho began in Honshu, Japan where ALL the Japanese Godzilla movies were set. There's alot more I've found but those are some pretty obvious clues. Btw. If this is Pokemon (which it's definately now) I'll kill myself.

    Simple question, Why would ANYONE! make a movie about a little known Anime story, that only rabid Anime fans love. Like the studio said, hey we want to lose a few million quick lets make a movie that only a few nerds will understand and love!!
  • Anonymous
    Hi, me again I forgot to tell you there are loads more interesting and weird videos on the links I gave you ( including a report on CNBC and a Trailer Audio Spectroanalysis whatever the HELL that is), just look to the right of the video you are already playing and you'll see a whole list of videos and just click on it, and it should play. P.S. Sometimes all the videos don't show up on the list so you just have to keep clicking on different ones until you get a different video on the list.

    ok, I'm new to JJ Abrams, but to me it seems like this won't be as much a remake of something else as something new and original. I would love if it was some goofy mistranslation of revelation prophecy, and that may be the case. however, it doesn't look like it. anyhow, so far these are the ONLY decent ideas I've heard so far: it's a movie about Cthulu. It's a movie about old mythical gods waging war on our modern landscape. as for... pokemon/digimon - I think that anyone with as much grit as mr Abrams has show will know not to start a viral marketing craze and then cop out with "it's.........POKEMON!!!." I think that he probably knows better, and honestly has more to spend his time on. also, if it were a pokemon movie, why would people in the trailer be referring to the creature making the sound as an "animal" ("what kind of animal sounds like that???") in the pokemon anime they never referred to them as animals, only pokemon. as for digimon... give me a break. no one likes digimon. also, to the person who said that satoshi clearly pointed to pokemon.... satoshi is just a japanese name. like Rick is an american name. Godzilla - loosely possible, but remember that the REAL godzilla movies took place in tokyo, and I don't think abrams would be lame enough to make the "let's put godzilla in new york" mistake twice. however, if he does, I will attempt to remove my foot from my mouth and go about my business. Voltron - no. sorry. whether the guy says "alive" or "lion", it rules it out. voltron wouldn't strike you as alive, you'd say "holy hell! a robot!" and... oh hell, I think a couple of the voltron robots were lions. shit. let's just hope that's not the case. peace
  • Ed
    JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE! IT IS NOT FUCKING GODZILLA! There is no way anyone would want to see a Godzilla movie without his trademark roar. Even when they revamped Godzilla's image in the late 1990's they still kept the trademark roar. Why are you people so Goddamned hard headed? After all this crap if it DOES turn out to be Godzilla I will persnally knock on JJ's door and punch him right in the face!
  • decker
    ED, agreed! I myself would like a good godzilla movie but if something that's building this excitment already and to have no name it just has to deliver much more then a godzilla or any monster flick, the only possibility for that is if the movie is a blair witch monster movie in which the idea is not all that bad but still def not worthy of this sort of hype! and RED, if you did watch and understand more of lost then you would know that all the 'support' you listed is exactly the kind of stuff Abrams likes to fool ya with, lead ya another direction, he WANTS people to lean toward it being godzilla or something of it's kind, otherwise he wouldn't shock ya like he plans to, lost or not lost, his goal is DEF to mystify us not just up until we finally get to see it, but while we see it, and probably even after we see it. and he is good enough to make this movie just as easy to understand and enjoy for those who have never even seen lost, which of course they all will afterward if it does indeed connect!
  • This Is I
    Someone explain to me where this 'it came from the Hudson River' crap came from....yes, I know the Statue of Liberty is located on an island bordered by the Hudson River on all sides, but the monster doesn't physically grab the Statue of Liberty's head to throw it, it's hit by one of those fireball type of shits..whatever you want to call them. Anyways, I also don't seem to remember Godzilla being able to create one big fireball explosion death combo, that looks something like the damn supernova or a meteor. I'm not trying to rule him out, because honestly, I don't give a fuck if it is him or not. It's not going to be Evangelion, sorry. There isn't enough of an anime following to dedicate a Hollywood movie budget to. Come on, how the fuck is it going to be chultu or whatever the fuck its called? Didn't that monster originate in South America? I'd find it fuckin hilarious that in 2008, no one in the world could detect a giant sea creature making his way from fuckin Brazil or something all the way to New York City, when we can detect when a damn fish crosses over into American waters. It's clear whatever it is...has the power to: 1. Generate roars of fury that border a mother who found your Playboys. 2. Create a monstrous fireball type of dome thing, because that was NOT just an explosion. 3. Make millions of people run for their lives, scared to death. Hell, maybe it's a dragon form of Rosie O'Donnell.....

    I thought it might have something to do with Lost, which would be very convenient about a month before the new season starts and all of this hunting for clues reminds me so much of the Lost Experience. I'm not going to get crazed and argue that I'm right, but the actual trailer reminds me of The Watchmen, which has been said over and over again to be partial inspiration for Lost. With a lot of talk being generated about a Watchmen movie being made, I think Abrams might want to pre-emptively strike with his own (very quickly made) movie to save his vision for the overall Lost universe, which could be diminished somewhat if The Watchmen comes out before the final season, which it should. I'm not going to go into what about the trailer is similar to The Watchmen for those who have never read it, but I can see how this movie could be a Lost-related movie to get the event out there before it shows up in The Watchmen movie first. Sorry if that is rambling…
  • Cifty Fent
    GOD DAM anybody read any other posts from the beginning? then talk about ya ideas READ THIS!!!!! 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 http://www.1-18-08.com, but the source tells Kirk that apparently a Japanese-style Web site, http://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 ITS NOT ANY GODZILLA OR SOMETHING LOST OR other SHIT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>IT IS A NEW MONSTER IN A NEW FUCKING CRAZY GIANT DESTROYING ARMAGEDDON LIKE PEOPLE SCREAMING TO HELL FUCKING MOVIE NOTHING MORE . Abrams wants to play tricks on us so everyone speak abou what this could be , NO ONE knows what this movie is about causeNO ONE see anything like this before . And if I'am Wrong I#am sorry for this post but to 99,999999% its something new Peace
  • Matt
    Wow...Cifty Fent got a little excited there. I did read the other posts, but to quote your own original post about the article "but guys i found something interresting, a man that was on the set of that movie? perhaps http://www.9news.com/life/entertainment/article.aspx?storyid=73653 this could be agreat clue if this is real!" So even you weren't sure if the article was real or not when you posted it, so why should we have to take it as fact? Like I said before, I'm not whole-heartedly sold on my theory but thought it was a possibility. I could be wrong, but as far as I know this is the first feature film released by Bad Robot. Not that it matters, none of us will know what it is about until more information is released. Until then, we are all wrong.
  • bam
    THANK YOU CLIFTY FENT now hopefllys all thos stupid ppl will shut up now
  • Cifty Fent
    ok you right matt but its hard for me to explain something correct cause my englisch is very bad hehe its just facts but i trust them ,also a lot of other guys roll on more information to another the fever gets me hahahahah i think this film is about a sea monster, created by rob which u see in the trailer he works for slusho, one of his friends got a slush shirt maybe a present? or he works there 2? Everybody fell in panic but rob looks different in some situations at this movie, i think he knows whats going on , they make a parasite at the slusho factory and test it on animals or humans maybe its very complicated for me to explain my theory i hope u can follow me a bit, so this monster follow all the way to new york from japan cause he is searching for rob? and it all gets outta control and he doesnt want that happen. And what about that thing? sounds like a whale or something also guys try to take clues out from this 3 things 1.slusho site 2.the roar 3.rob i think this is the right way to search otherwise abrams also wants to trick us even more this all is so complicated but its fun anyway
  • xXSergioXx
    Belive it or not! Its GEARS OF WAR!!!
  • Matt
    Sounds plausible, Cifty. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't seem that they would be able to deliver all of these aspects if the story is told from the point of view of (3?) camcorders. Or if it does, I don't think it could be done well. Plus, it seems like a read somewhere that it is going to be really short, like one hour long, so that is a lot to put into such a short span of time effectively. We'll see what else we get over the next few months...
  • Matt
    If you're right, Sergio, that would have to be the quickest turnaround ever. The game hasn't even been out for a year!
  • Cifty Fent
    matt do you mean the movie only is 1 hour long? i dont understand what u want to say so okay its all with that point of view but what about if the tease is the beginning from the movie and after that a new camera comes out and tells the story from the whole beginning and after the fall of the head from the liberty statue the film is over? would sucks but could be possible lol
  • Cifty Fent
    search for more clues there http://www.slushozoom.com/index.htm
  • Matt
    Cifty, ignore what I said earlier about it being only an hour long. I remember seeing it somewhere, but cannot remember where and could not find it again, so for now am not sure if it was a legitimate site where I saw it (thought it was IMDB, but if it was it's no longer there). You could be right about the tease, but as far as I understand it the whole movie is supposed to be from the camcorder perspective.

  • Lulu
    I have watched this trailer over and over again for a while today and I am stumped. At first I thought of Godzilla, as the rest of the world did. But I am pretty sure Sony owns the rights to Godzilla. After reviewing the trailer a few times I have some other speculuation as to what is going on. First, is it possible that this creature came from underground? Because everything starts shaking like an earthquake and when all the people are running to the balcony one guy even says something like "everything was shaking, like tremors or something". Also, when you hear the next roar there is not the big earthquake shake before.. This indicates to me that it's not strictly the size of the beast that made the shaking.. It was perhaps the "enterance" of the beast that caused the shaking. Personally, I think we are going to see something we have never seen before. The explosion is absolutely insane and looks like a bomb went off, only it's followed by what appears to be some sort of fireball or meteor. So this creature either has one hell of a fireball or it has come equipped with some nukes or something.. lol.. Whatever it is I can't wait to see it! :)
  • brya ng
    on the website 1-18-08.com there is a new picture
  • decker
    LULU, good point, if it does come from underground that is even more reason to think of it as the lost 'monster' which even us diehard lost fans really don't know all that much about, so who is to say what other things it is capable of, those fireballs look a lot like the one that was in the hurley episode of lost earlier this year and the more and more I hear it's 'roar', the more it sounds like the one on lost... and PEOPLE, please remember/know that Abrams is genius enough to consider all the things we as fans will think it to be which went into his thought process toward that trailer, he is also known to throw out false leads which I beleive is what he's done with the camcorder issue, it's not a bad idea at all but not worthy of a untitled movie with this much hype, it may or may not be lost, but as one person siad on here recently, it WILL be something like we've NEVER seen before...
  • http://www.chris-white.net Chris White
    The more I read about this the more I feel like it could be Evangelion is about the only other thing I can think of that has this many complex clues leader all over the place (except maybe JJ's other work). It fits very well with all the Biblical and Babylonian references and the noise as well as the destruction seems fitting. The thing that throws it off for me is first, that it's New York and second that there seems to be a lot of cult references around the web for it (valid or not). There are two reasons I think they could be making this kind of big budget movie from an anime. First, if JJ get's behind a movie then Hollywood will fund it, most of the movies out there are more about the big names anyway, and Evangelion seems like something Abram's could get into. Second, there has been some talk of a big budget Evangelion film, it got shut down as I recall, but not before Weta did a fair bit of concept art work on it. If Weta would get involved in a little anime project I can see it having drive, regardless if this version and the earlier work are or are not related. However, there are some other really good ideas going around here as well, Lovecraft seems fitting, as do some of the other clues. Before you call me a Evangelion fan boy, I'm not, I didn't particularly like Evangelion and I rather dislike anime now, just seems like it's a possibility.
  • http://www.chris-white.net Chris White
    Okay, let me revise that, I still think this feels most like Evangelion, but I expect it's something completely new. I doubt it's a remake or a sequel.

    You have to look at the picture on http://www.1-18-08 and you will see the time of day in which these pictures were taken. Think about it. On 1-18-08 at 12:01 everything is normal and people are partying right? But later on at 12:30 and beyond thats when things get crazy. So obviously the day 1-18-08 is more important than just the day its released/time it takes place. Its giving you a hint on that 1-18 was a chosen day of attack. And religion is the one key place where there is planned heavenly attacks. Google "romans 1:18" and you will find a website that takes you to a page with "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness," written on it. What is this movie about? The Apocalypse.
  • decker
    good one DAVE, and yet again, more evidence towards it bein a lost movie, religion is behind all sorts of stuff foin on with lost, not just from the others but whatever fate is controling that mysteries island, and the Apocalypse is exactly what I believe the island is for, an island rather then a boat, it's noah's ark!
  • jeremy
    Im Possitive its the LOST movie now. I just read that the shows creators have refrenced a graphic novel called "The Watchmen" as a inspration for the show. anyways whats intresting about the watchmen is that the story consists of a group scientist/superheros that on a remote hidden island created a psyhic monster to distroy new york city and convince the world that it was under attack by an alien force and unite all the countries and people in the world to fight against this common threat. Thus saving humanity from itself..... Now to me and anyother LOST fan this sounds pretty familiar 1. the show takes place on a remote hidden island 2. a group of scientists called the dharma initiative went to "the island" to try and save the world. 3. theres what aperars to be a psychic monster on the island 4. the show has 6 famous numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42 if you add those up you get 108... and if you rearange the date of the movie from 01/18/08 you get 108 108 5. heres a video and audio sample from the smoke monster from LOST http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niY7faCx5cI&search=Lost sounds the same as the monster laying wreck to new york 6. the line in the trailer "what animal makes that noise?" was said in the very first episode of LOST when they hear the smoke monster for the first time 8. and finaly at 1:25 on the trailer when it goes to the panaramic street view pause it and you can clearly see a pillar of black smoke I rest my case....this is for sure the fabled LOST movie!
  • EmceeNamul
    I thought it might have been something dubbed over on YouTube, but now that I've heard the official trailer, it sounds a lot more clear. Listen to the background at about 00:38. You hear a women say "The Myth" before the room goes dark and you hear the roar. I might just be over listening. But yeah, let me know what you guys think. :D
  • http://www.myspace.com/sinthetic_empire Sinthetic
    I dont know if anyone has caught this yet but the second time i seen the trailer (online) I seen this monster in the trailer and had to rewind it a dozen times to get a good shot unfortunately theres no real good one but if you manage to pause the trailer just as it turns to 1:25 you will see it down the street in the distance the HUGE dark figure which appears to have some kind of horns..
  • decker

    I've tried pausing the trailer to see what is claimed to be the monster in the distance, but probably due to my crappy monitor I can't see anything. Could someone post a screenshot?

    why do you all think its a LOST movie that would be so dumb if it was if u guys would bother READING THE NEW POST they have quotes from abrams saying its NEW AND ORIGINAL
  • Cifty Fent
    never saw any lost episodes but saw this smoke monster and it sounds like the roar in the trailer plus u sea it in the trailer between the buildings and also all u lost fans could be right but its not the lost movie only it's a movie after the lost series or before to explain what happens nice movie i will watch it hope its good and not only for people who watched the lost series
  • Matt
    Like I've mentioned before, I personally think it will have something to do with Lost, but if I am right I think it will be indirectly related. It won't have or mention any of the characters or events on the TV show. In other words, I think if it is related it won't refer to Lost in anyway, but Lost may refer to it. I don't know how many of you have read the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, but the way he connected to his other books is how I feel this would be done. The movie and Lost, if related, will stand independently of one another and you won't be lost (no pun intended) for not watching both, but if you do you will have a better understanding of the entire story. Of course that is all speculation, but my current theory. And I think just because JJ Abrams said it was not Lost-related doesn't completely rule that out. It could be that he didn't want to alienate a potential audience by saying, if you don't watch Lost you won't understand this movie or it could be that he knows that Lost has suffered from some viewer drop-off that could also effect the money the movie could get. Or it could be completely unrelated as he said. Basically, I think it can be related without being directly related.
  • Merl
    I don't believe it will have to do with Lost, although there may be clues we can rely on from Lost and other JJ works. Along the lines of the 108 thing, if you add up the numbers on the television screen during the news report at about 48 seconds...those being channel 1, the time 12:32 and 63 degrees...you get 108. Maybe coincidence, maybe absolutely nothing.
  • Anonymous
    I've been comparing the sound of the Lost black smoke monster with the trailer, and at the very end of the trailer at about 01:40 (just after the Statue of Liberty's head is thrown on the floor), it's quite hard to hear but you can distinctively hear that trademark noise it makes, like a sort of growl. You can hear it best at 01:42 (just before it says "FROM PRPODCER J.J. ABRAMS"). I've officially made my mind up, I'm 90% sure it's something to do with Lost (even if it's indirectly related like Matt said). So It's not Godzilla, cthulu, Pokemon, Digimon, Power Rangers or a huge freakin' lion, or anything else anybody thinks up!!! I rest my case.

Theres a demon in the top of their hair in the middle. Its hard to see (at first) but its there. If the pic is right side up, the demon is facing up and right. Second, the pic of the guy pooring the shot down robs mouth... Guy pooring is wearing a slusho shirt. Girl on the far right has a distinct horn on her head, and looks crazy. Havnt found anything on the white picture. Also, watch the trailer in slow mo, on the roof, when the stuff starts flying, is says ZOOM ACE clearly to the right of the door, when he falls through (only for a split second) Anyways, all over slusho.jp they says SLUSHO ZOOOM. DOnt know what it means, but its a clear connection Also, i never was into anime, but i checked on the neo genisis evagelon, and alot of stuff DOES match up. The SOL head, in the first episode of NGE one of the mechs heads gets ripped off and thrown. The sounds of the mech kinda match up with the sound from the trailer. Also If you check the time stamps when you see the news, the time stamps all match up with biblical verses about the end of the world. Three to be exact. I know one way or another, demons or demonish creature(s) are in the flick, and one way or another its gonna drive me fucking nuts. again, im not an anime fan, but i think the NGE would make a pretty good live action movie. IF you look at the main people in the NGE series, theres 4 chick ands 2 guys (i think) in the trailer, 4 girls, and a couple guys. ANNND badrobot said the OFFICAL name of the movie will be released at the San Deigo Comic con, that being said... why would a movie title be released there if it wasnt comic related? JJA has said before on film he likes comic style plots, but live action filming.... I doubt it will be an NGE movie, and i have made no conclusions yet.... but i thought id share my findings so far with the world...

    that would be a stupid movie if a big cloud of smoke was the monster.wheres the imagination????

    FYI, if its Lost, I am out, wont see it, dont care, Dumb show no continuity, and totally off. And I bet I speak for more than a few Million ticket buyers, the show is not that high int he ratings so even if everyone who is dedicated to the show goes twice, Transformers would still kick its ass in income with its first weekend. Hence the reason it aint lost or anything close. jmho
  • bam
    if this movie did turn out to be some gay smoke monster that would be so stupid big thing of smoke that has the power to tear down building and shoot fire possibly and kill ppl thats the dumbest most retarded thing ive ever heared how woudl u kill smoke anyway?? if it was the smoke monster (WHICH ITS NOT) i wouldnt bother seeing this movie it would be such a waste of money
  • jeremy
    rofl!!! now that the LOST fans have seemed to prove this is the LOST movie ppl are getting all butt hurt.... like "it would be lame if the movie was about a cloud of smoke" or "gay no one wants to see a movie about smoke throwing things..... LOST is a complicated show and overall universe and its ok if you cant wrap your simple minds around it.......

    I just noticed something interesting on the slushozoom.com site, if you go down below the "supportslushozoom" link there is a . and then a .. each one leads to a different link, one about the dangers of "cocaine energy drink" and one about a vaccine and diseases. Could this possibly be some sort of clue?
  • joe
    This is utterly ridiculous. Seriously. Only going to make it all the more bad when this movie bombs due to pre production hype.
  • Kevin
    to 254... no i doubt it, JJ A said 1-18-08.com was the only site from him, and slusho.com was confirmed by badrobot... and i think the haaswasright shit is supposedly.. JJ A was quoted saying "we have a ton of stuff on the net, alot of fun stuff giving details about the movie.... but the thing is, only one site [1-19-08.com] has been found... my 2 cents... i dont think its a lost movie, the cloud of smoke in the explosion was a smoke trail from a flying object... and whats the point of the hidden demons and slusho? Slush may have been from alias, but no monsters were. But i dunno, i think all this www puzzle bullshit is entertaining at work and all, and it will make the movie BETTER when i see it cause it wont be what i expected... but im heading home so im done for now.
  • Jim lee
    tom is right,a movie about a big cloud of smoke throwing stuff would be STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • decker
    lol, thanks JEREMY, well said, and now I don't have to say it... but I will say that I DO understand how lame a black smoke monster may sound, I (a huge lost fan) was even kinda disappointed the first time I saw the smoke on lost, but it goes way beyond that, it's whatever the monster is made of or from and what it's motivation is that's so damn mysteries, there's MUCH more to it then just smoke and even us loyal lost fans really don't know all that much, AND connected to lost or not, ANYONE can see this movie and come to understand it, it may not even be all that clear whether it connects to the island or not once all is said and done, cause if it does then ya know there will be another in 3 years when lost is all wrapped up... the main thing to understand is that Abrams is a genius and lost or not this movie will do much more then entertain, it will make ya think, it already has!!!

    Somebody do me a favor. Check out Godzilla Zero Hour.com & tell me what you think. It appears that the first Godzilla vs. Gamera is coming out on 1-18-08. It also will be co-starring Gigan, Gyaos as well as Legion from the latest Gamera trilogy. Under the Gigan pic is the date 1-18-08.
  • kevin
    Sinner... its not a godzilla movie. There's no way. Godzilla's rights are owned by sony, this movie has been openly stated as a paramount film... There's often a time when the box office explodes because two bombshells drop at the same time.

    ok guys iam wrong that this could be a eeffecvangelion movie, found the trailer for it, but dunno if this is a real trailer but jesus that looks amazing 2 i want to see it 2 more than i want to watch the jj abrams movie and the evangelion movie includes a lot of popular staff. the special effects were making frome the same people who had made the lord of the ring effects, also i saw the same guy who acts in the triology of lord of the rings and sin city forget his name but everyone knows him ^^, the girls from the spiderman movies forget her name 2 ^^ and keanu reeves for me that looks awesome here you can watch it and tell me what u think about it

  • BigTone
    Ok, I'm going to put, my own realistic spin on this a little. The pictures on http://www.1-18-08.com are time stamped as we all know. First pic is of the party, with slosho shirt and time stamp 12:31 The roar and earthquake, them the the news reports at 12:36 The second pic on 1-18-08 page, two girls are looking up. time stamp 12:36. This pic could be in the area of the monster/alien whatever, they could be looking up at it in shock at Coney Island.http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/07/16/cloverfield-1-18-08-updates-coney-island-flashback-and-set-photos/ People head to the roof shorty after the news, roar and something explodes. Some people think that it shooting fire balls. I think it's a explosion maybe a piece of the statue was chucked and hit something like a fuel depo shipping station at the port. I say this because, I seen a rocket explode while I was at work. J.J. Abrams seems to make things as real as posible in his movies. Look at this rocket http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1381963273853382138&hl=en Next people haul ass off the top of the building only to have a whisling piece of the statue chucked in they area. This happens after all the firey pieces came down from the explosion earlier, I don't think it shot fireballs at the statue or one of them hit it. It's to much of a gap in between the events. Next pic on 1-18-08 is of people in a scene looking close to 911 WTS and this could be the aftermath in the area of the explosion. I'm just trying not to go to far off the subject of what we have. Area Map of the Statues location http://www.greatbuildings.com/cgi-bin/building_map.cgi?Statue_of_Liberty
  • kevin
    Cifty, i mentioned the idea of a NGE movie, and i think its a possibility, but doubt it. I think once the name is let out, its gonna clarify a bunch of the bullshit ideas, and make guessing a bit easier. Im not into anime or anything, but I read about the plot and stuff to NGE and i think it would make a pretty sick live action flick. (refer to post 245 for my explination) But i mean, seriously, why let out the name at one of the biggest anime fan events? the san d comic con if its NOT comicbook/cartoon related? BUT again, just my 2 cents

    I highly doubt posts 281 is the real JJ Abrams, but either way he's right. We will never figure this little puzzle out, because he is holding all of the pieces. If you've watched the TV show "LOST", then you know it's not just the name of the show, it's the state of mind you are in when you watch it. The less we know, the more we will want to know on 1-18-2008. It's all part of the total mind fuck that is JJ Abrams. I won’t be surprised if this is the top grossing film of all time, when it’s all said and done.

  • kevin
    Hey... f orget EVERYTHING you have read... go read revelations chapter 12.... it mentions a woman who will die that has 5 stars on here head, from a foreign country, and the nation will mourn her death... The statue of liberty head was WAAAAY SMALL in the trailer... the real head is huge.. ive been inside of it, PLUS the head wouldnt be able to come from the inner city, because the SOL is on ellis island. Anyways, In central newyork city theres a MINY statue of liberty head and get this.... Its crown has 5 points instead of 7 like the real one... and in the trailer, theres 3spikes, 1 broken, a one bent.... 5 points from the head of a foreign woman (the statue was a gift to the us mind you...) BAMSIS! whats everyone/anyone think?
  • kevin
    And JJ A said himself this movie is something that hasnt been done before, so ill bet cash its not a remake.

  • joey
    the website on post 299 is great i think wondering? found the monster.
  • kevin
    307, i dont think so... cause jj said it was gonna be something never seen before, and where did he get the 1-18-08 link to that? Just because you googled it, and it came up doesnt mean it IS linked... remember 1-18-08 is still a day on the calender and was before JJ ever started the project... so just cause you googled a day and a shit ton of stuff popped up, its not nessicarly legit or real... that make sence? I mean with how gnarly people are getting into it, its turning into the number 23 for some people.
  • Geoffrey
    Okay well I just listen to it again and he is saying its alive not its a lion. so lets think about this. If you were commenting on something that was normally alive you wouldnt need to say its alive would you? no I think that something that shouldnt be alive comes alive in this film. this explains the advisement that it is in fact alive. I dont know what it is to be honest with you but ill figure it out in about a week.
  • KEvin
    310.. i didnt think about that... but theres not a whole lot in NYC that would come alive and be "huge" and be all that scary... i mean the big stuff in NYC are the buildings, and the SOL... so unless the SOL threw down with the mini sol, i dunno... but good point i didnt think of that. 311... yes i know it sucks... like what 6 months? lol Oh, and i thought this might catch your interests, I hear that every thursday is when new pics come out on 1-18-08.com has anyone found anything in the white 911style pic? and i just noticed something.... i used to take photgraphy for like 6 years, so shit stands out to me that normally doesnt with people, like mis focus of the camera and what not... everyone pause exality on 0:27 when the straight brown hair girl starts talking... look directly over her right shoulder... blurry right? Because the focus is on the girl.... Look farther right. BAM theres someone in perfect focus downing a drink with a BB behind him...

    If you watch the video above. On the end of time mark 1:24 to 1:25 you can see a angel down the street on the right side of the road. It looks like the second street light but, you can see it glowing. It looks like it's standing up with it's head down as if it was praying. You can see what looks like a wing behind it, it's gone after the head hits the building and cars.

  • nick
    post #321 i see wat ur saying but i dont see why all you ppl would go that deep into the site when we dont even know its linked to the movie (and most likely isnt) i mean i could go make a site right now called "fresh for you" cuz it pops up in bubbles also and ibet u guys woudl jump on that pretty fast. you guys should be looking at slusho.jp cuz jj even said there are hints on the site we havent found yet but thats just my opinion

    Does anyone notice at 1:11 as the people are running for the door you can see writing on the brick wall. My Computer sucks and ts a little blurry so i can't read what it says. From what i can tell i see an C and what i think is an M right next to eachother and then another one or two letters after it but i can't tell.

Considering the FIRST godzilla movie cost $900,000 and had NO cgi...

    THE NUMBER IS........."6" Using the buttons on your cellphone assign a numeric value to the letters in the name, "J.J. Abrams". J=5, J=5, A=2, B=2, R=7, A=2, M=6, S=7. Now add them up......I'll wait........36. Three-Six. It goes around and around. It worked with the numbers in "Lost" using various mathamatical manipulations. 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. First thing to mention here. There are 6 numbers!(Duh!!!) Now... 4, _,8=6 ( 6 is the even number between 4 and 8 ex: 4,"6",8 ) 15: 1+5=6(simply adding the 1 and 5 together) 16: 1x6=6(no need to explain is there?) 23: 2x3=6 (get the picture?) 42: 4+2=6........... Anytime you see 18(3x6) know what you are looking at. Also, the movie title, 01-18-08... 1+1+8+8=18 which is 6x3. And he produced the ABC drama, Six Degrees. J.J. loves them 6's!!

    Here's a new update from the same website I posted earlier, definitely some interresting things here! The rumor about this film being watched as if a video camera filmed the entire incident seems to be true; read this: "The film starts with a rescue crew cleaning up after the entire incident, and one of them finds a camera. They rewind the tape, press play… and the playback is the movie that unfolds". Here's the link if you want to read more. http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/07/16/cloverfield-title-revealed-set-photos-the-origin-of-slusho-video-and-more/
  • jc
    i dont know if this has anything to do with it, but at the start of the trailer u see rob cum in and a guy takin pics, this could be the same guy who took the 3 pics u can see on the website. also on the topic of the three photos, teh one with the 2 women on it, is in fact 1 woman, if u make 2 copies of the image and place them side by side and move the right one up slighly they match. the reason u may see 2 women could be some form of interference with the cam corder
  • jc
    another point, as mentioned earlier on rob runs his hands thru his hair, suggesting that he knows sumthink that the others dont, also the camera man say "looks like you should have left town a little earlier" he does not say this in a sarcastic way, which could suggest he knows something along with rob. this could also be supported by the fact that rob is the camera mans "main dude" they are close. also,when u first hear the sound, i kinda sounds to me like stone is being rubbed together or moved, i might be wrong on this, but some sort of stone statue or something comes to life, that woudl work with the guy saying "its alive"

    Let me know what you guys think of either of these... At first I thought the female voice you heard say "the myth" actually said "the mix" as in they were listening to a Wolfmother remix but after you hear a female voice say something like "the myth" at 00:38, listen at 00:42 under the roar, you hear the same female groan (use headphones). Could their be more than one monster/being? Also, everyone is talking about the quote "I saw it, it's alive". Isn't that kind of a weird quote to say if you saw a huge monster blowing up NY? HAHA, no sh*t it's alive idiot. I thought he would have used the word "monster" or "dinosaur" if it were such. I thought of Dr. Frankenstein screaming "it's alive" because something he thought wasn't alive is now alive. Maybe insteaed of an alien, something already on earth came to life. I was stretching it though when I thought maybe the statue of liberty "shed it's rock" and became alive, but I'm sure it's not. On another note for Lost fans, the only thing I could put on, is that the movie does come out the same month the new season starts and as a Lost fan myself, I would love to see maybe a reason (future reference) of why it was a bad idea to leave the island or dimension or wherever the hell they really are (maybe something followed them home) but as a huge sci-fi fan, I really don't care what it is right now and I hope I don't ever know until the movie actually comes out.
  • NIevo
    I too almost believe there is more then one sound/roar. You listen to it and it just sounds like to many different noises to be coming from one monster. Also, can anyone else see any tie-in's to St. Patricks Day? Someone mentioned the green Empire State building and then I got to thinking about the Cloverfield title relating to clovers. Coincidence? Reading the Slusho webpage history it seems weird that the secret ingredient is found deep in the ocean and makes things grow huge. Hmm. Just so many weird twists here to know which ones are relevant and which ones are there to throw you for a loop.
  • Kevin
    i mentioned this before but here goes again with more details... The statue of libertys head is ENORMUS. People go inside of it. The neck and head in the trailer wasnt even as big as the road. And the SOL has 7 spikes on her crown. IF you go into central new york (area in which the attack was) At some garden there is a SMALLER statue of liberty. It has 5 spikes on here crown. In the trailer there is 1 broken, 1 bent, and 4 slightly damaged spikes. PLUS the the real statue of liberty is an iron frame with a copper cover. thats why it turned green. The mini one is made out of stone. Thus its the mini SOL that was decapatated. And on the 5 spike note, go read releations chap 20. Theres a a foreign woman with 5 marks on her head that gets killed and the nation will mourn. SOL was a gift from france, so shes foreign, and the 5 spikes of the mini one... just my way of 2+2...
  • Forusre
    I know for a fact that this movie is green lantern.
  • NIevo
    Any idea's of where the second statue is? Maybe there is a clue as to the surroundings its in?
  • Rob
    The statue of liberty's head was the actual statue of liberty we all know. I'm not sure about a smaller second one in NY (there is a smaller one in Paris I know) but there is no other statue of liberty head that big in NY
  • Kevin
    355, the head has the neck attached in the trailer... the real SOLs head would be almost double that
  • joey
    maybe rob is part of a top secret project that is keeping a monster inside the statue of liberty but the monster gets out oh and jc, he tells another guy hes his main dude not the camera man
  • JJJackson
    Statue of Liberty is 17 feet from chin to cranium, according to the Parks website. And it can't be stone if a spike is 'bent' because stone wouldn't bend. Think "artistic liscense". Though you'd think they'd have made it coppery green instead of stainless steel looking.
  • Rob
    357, the head appears to be almost twice the size of the car which is close to what the real SOLs head would be (which is 10 x 17). Also if you think about it, what would show more "power" and be more meaningful, taking out the statue of liberty or taking out a miniature copy of it? I also still haven't found a second statue in NY that would be close to that size. I'm guessing there might be symbology in taking out the statue of liberty as well. It was originally seen as a beacon to new arrivals to America but in the movie, the "new arrival" rips it's head off haha.
  • http://www.drewgoddard.com/ Goddard, D
    Interesting theories. Keep on searching and you'll find them without any assistance needed.
  • NIevo
    Ok, how about a new twist on this whole thing. What if they find the camera on 1-18-08 but the events we are seeing already or is about to happen? Think about it, the weather obviously isn't January weather. Also, why would it be so important to an entire film to find a video camera and see what was on it if people survived? It's almost like there was no idea as to what went on and there were no survivors or trace of them. Like something from the lines of a 6th Sense or Silent Hill type twist.
  • decker
    remember now people, Abrams is not only good at keepin you guessin but clever enough to throw out false leads as well, enjoy all the theories you have or hear, well except the really dumb ones, but most of all just stay open and like someone up above said, just hope that it's as top secret now as it is the day you spend your money to see it!

    I am an actor who worked on the L.A. set of this film. Many of the theories are way off, and quite entertaining... .... but the truth is better than most of the guesses I've read. You are all going to say "WAY cool" when it's finally revealed ....I would love to share more.... but I signed a Non-Disclosure agreement, and would be in BIG trouble if I did! lol, so sorry! :-)

  • Tythandril
    to 366: AHAHAHHAHAHA HE'S RIGHT, watch the trailer, at 24 seconds pause it and look at the cereal box...behind the blonde chick saying: "Im going to miss it."....look closely at the box, you will see!!!
  • Tythandril
    to 366: He is right, everyone watch the trailer again. Pause it at 24 seconds and look to the left of the blond chick's head, the cereal box ontop of the mini-fridge. Looks like some sort of animal on the box of cereal...i wont say what it is, look for yourself. Can't believe no one other than 366 saw this!!! Way to go divinekhaos!
  • Kevin
    Whats at 24? i can see it cause it wont let me watch the HD trailer... otherwise its just a blur
  • Scott
    360. Are you Drew Goddard? If so, please tell us your script! I know you wrote it so please let us in on the secret.
  • WB
    I copied the frame from the HD trailer and examined the cereal box. Blurry as it is, when rotated 90 degrees it appears to be a person in light colored clothing with a large hat similar to what the asians wear in the rice fields, the person also appears to be crouching as if working on the ground. Don't think its a "monster", just some food product box or other with a "human" figure on it. Anybody else see this?
  • chris
    349, you are on to something. The song being played during the first attack is "Woman", song 2 off the Wolfmother LP (2005). Read the lyrics to the song immediately before it. This is so blindingly obvious it's almost painful. There will undoubtedly be two Wolfmother songs on the soundtrack to this movie.
  • gigaber
    At 00:38, they are playing 'WOMAN' by WOLF MOTHER. At 00:39, a distinctly feminine voice is heard. Track one on the WOLF MOTHER CD is... ah, I see where you are going with this theory. Especially considering the way the Statue of Liberty's head seems to have received one hell of a backhanded slap. YES.

    post 366 please tell what pic on cereal box is just a blur for me, my computers crappy:)

  • freddy
    kevin on the topic above,when the girl says "the myth"maybe she sees something int the picture that we cant,maybe a sign or picture or something that resembles a monster:_:
  • Daniel
    I rotated the cereal box (actually, I think it might be a jigsaw puzzle box, sat on it's side, with a picture of the puzzle on the front) all the way round and at 90 deg clockwise and looks somewhat like the sea-creatures from the TV show "Surface" from 05/06. The show ended with a cliffhanger and was then cancelled. I found an article about the creators of Surface saying it was dead for TV but may be seen again (Link to article: http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2006/11/13/pate-bros-pronounce-surface-definitely-dead-on-tv-but-not-yet-gone/). I tried to fink any link between them and JJA but no luck. This was the type of show JJA would have been into though: mysterious creatures, government conspiracies, serialised drama raising more questions each episode than answers (sound familiar) and then ending with a huge cliffhanger. Has JJA secretly got the rights to finish the show off via a movie (think Firefly / Serenity). The monsters came from lava caves under the ocean floor, looking somewhat like a whale sized salamander/newt and coud produce huge bio-electricital shocks (explosion in city) by draining power from energy sources around it (blackout during party). The were also HUGE!. Oh, and Alive! That's my 2 cents but at least it's not another Voltron/Godzilla theory!
  • freddy
    i saw it, its alive, its huge=in abbreveations thats ISIIAIH.well i typed that in at google and nothing came up but take away the third and fourth I.and you get ISAIAH as in the bible ISAIAH.now i typed that in on google and got a passage,read isaiah 8:18, besides the 8:18 alot of other clues are in the scripture so please read the scripture. possibly connected to the movie. here is the scripture>>> LOOK,I and the sons whom the lord has given me are reminders and object lessons in israel,sent from the LORD who commands armies,who lives on mount zion.
  • Cifty Fent
    could be a sequel to that but i read an article that this movie wouldn't be a sequel to any other movies or series it is something new, but now it's all to confused with this clues of all of us this could be everything like the dude before says: its hugh heffner ^^
  • divinekhaos
    comingsoon.net........look at the high res version of trailor....24 seconds into the trailor, with the blond that says "im going to miss bob......the green box....the chineses characters got my attention.....its not cereal... its a head, a robot head coming out the water........look close.... its a not puzzle.....!

  • Wingnut
    at :28 the clock says it's 10:10 and that clock is in weird place but I don't know if it means anything.
  • Wingnut
    You have to look at the full screen version of the trailer but at about :34 it says MISTERY on the side of the fridge door with some other letters that I can't read. If someone has a bigger screen maybe they can make it out. Also google MISTERY and you get some interesting stuff.
  • ~Rod
    392, I noticed that clock as well. But came to the conclusion that it doesn't mean anything because almost every watch/clock you see advertized or for sale (if not plugged in/batteries) is set to: 10:10 Why is this? I've yet to figure that one out. Maybe it just looks cool... or gives it a balanced look. But check it out for yourself in magazines, stores, etc. You will see what I mean. So, perhaps that clock is simply part of some decor and never meant to function.
  • ~Rod
    I don't believe that post above was really an actor from the set. But FWIW, I bet in the end we will be surprised at what the movie will REALLY be about. Either way, there's SFX/destruction... and that's worth the ticket in and of itself!

    My opinion I am a Godzilla fan, and i would love for it to be another Godzilla Movie, But I havn't seen enough to prove that it is Godzilla. I don't quite know what it is, but if it Was a Godzilla movie, I would have know about it by now. and if it wa, I would be fuckin ROFL at bam for being the moron who thinks he knows it all but don't. By the way, do you not have anything else to do other than be rude to other peoples opinions and not even making any of your own Bam. To me that sounds like a moron there. And you can say what ever you want about Godzilla fans, We like what we like and that is that, so either be a damn adult and place your own opinion about the damn movie, or YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND STAY OUT OF HERE DAMN IT!!!!
  • bam
    damn u must have really read far up cuzi havent posted on here in awhile. yes i have posted my opinion plenty plenty plenty of times and i say its not a godzilla movie and i KNOW its not because if you go the article on first showing called ""Cloverfield / 1-18-08 Updates: Coney Island Flashback and Set Photos"" it will show you/tell you how it isnt a sequel.prequel or ripoff of anything its something NEW and it has also been mentioned before that its something new. no i dont think i know all about it all i know is that its a monster (not godzilla,voltron,or cthulu) destroying new york. im also sorry you wont get to ROFL at me when the movie comes up cuz i personally cant wait to ROFLMFA at all u people who think its godzilla or voltron or ghostbusters or fuckin powerrangers. every one just needs to accept the facts its not a remake or ripoff of anything and that its original. AND if you think its godzilla or voltron or somethin els plz POST SOME SOLID LEGIT PROOF dont just say "oh it had voltron written all over it" k thx

    they did say it was a giant lion. did godzilla ever fight a giant lion? and the fact that robert is going to japan sound like a plot device. "i saw it. it's a lion. its huge!" but even just a movie about a giant lion of doom could be pretty sweet.
  • Ripper
    One he says It's Alive thats it its not a moive about a giant fuckin lion that would be ignnorant. That sounds like a direct to dvd moive to me.

    when they run downstairs and go outside does any1 know what the donut looking thing on the guys shirt is? also, this mite not mean anything but when u see the ppl running down the street, u see atleast 1 guy in a blue hard hat, he could be a builder, or somthing along those lines, and he mite have uncovered something while digging

  • jc
    i think rob knows what the noise is, if u pause the trailer at 39 seconds,when the lights go out and then come back for a fraction of a second. rob is the only 1 lookin towards the window and he looks worried, mite take a few attemps at moving the arrow thing on the trailer to find it
  • Matt
    I think it's possible that Rob knows what is going on, but can't take the trailer as proof of that. I would look worried to, if I heard a huge roar like that accompanied with something similar to an earthquake. Against that though, he's also the one who suggests going out on the roof to see what is going on, which if he knew what it was would be the stupidest decision ever.
  • jc
    when rob is on the roof he is in the prime location to see were the explosion is and he is also looking in tht direction b4 the explosion happens, i also think the camera man may know sumthink as, he tells rob he shud have left earlier and also rob, helps him when he falls down on the stairs, he mite do tht cuz thts his mate but in a situation ud usualy think of yaself, but he may need the camera man
  • jc
    whne u see the explosion,a group of things shoot out from the explosion, and there not like smallish thing and in large numbers they are large things, and there is only about 8
  • Howard Phillips
    Has anyone thought that maybe this is a sequel to Cthulhu(which comes out this fall). The trailer looks to be more of the cult story about Cthulhu and Cloverfield could possibly be the follow up/big unveiling of Cthulhu. I mean it does seem like this movie starts up rather quickly and we do know that the story starts around midnight. It's still totally possible that both movies could be tied to lost. I know most people will immediately shoot this theory in the head, but let me ask you this why do we see 401 show up a number of time in the Cloverfield trailer. 401 is the area code for Rhode Island. I live in Rhode Island and I am a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan. For those who don't know H.P. Lovecraft, he created the Cthulhu Mythos in RI. He also lived and died there. RI is known as the ocean state. Now think back to the slusho site and keep in mind the ocean theme. Lets not forget the name you can spell out using both The Parasite and Cloverfield code names. I got plenty more and I could go all day with comparisons, but frankly noone can tell me different. When I first saw the trailer during transformers I thought about Cthulhu instantly. So slam me all you like for I AM PROVIDENCE.
  • bam
    i really dont think they would come out with a sequel THAT fast
  • Chan
    i was only asking if godzilla battled a lion, if he never did than it is easily ruled out you see? and jeez i dont deserve to be called ignorant because i think it sounded like "lion" and not "alive" like others think. i wont be broken up if i see the movie and im wrong you know.... btw when the lights first go out and the earthquake happens the sound was like a whale call (evil humpback of doom? LMFAO). definetly not saying its a whale. that wouldnt make much sence but it could support the cthulu theory although i believe that is mildly unlikely. if you look up cloverfield on wikipedia they say one report says that it is a completely original film, as well as it being done completely in video cameras. its still all speculation now.

    They lyrics to the song (album-wise, immediately before) the song played during the first attack is: "... the first time I saw Colossal Girl". You can find this information on any Wolfmother lyrics website. Coincidence? I think not. Besides, who else could land a backhanded slap to the Statue of Liberty like that? None other than a very large (possibly jealous) woman.

    No way Hulk Hogan only has two moves in his arsenal. The clothes line and the leg drop, plus he got beat up for the first half of every one of his matches and then all of a sudden out of no where the power of the Hulkamaniacs flows through him, he does the "oh no you didn't" finger shake complete with bug eyes and then proceeds with the destruction. On a serious side the title is most def not being dropped this early. J.J. wants you guys to go insane, and based on that last comment it's working.

    Well not sure what the the hell it is, but because I've been thinking about it so much I think I ruined it for myself as I can't think of any good movie thats going to justify that preview other then maybe a War of the Worlds part two but I don't see that happening either as I believe their was only one book. My best guess would be it might be a totally new movie and story not some remake of a existing fictional character or story. If it is a remake or about some fictional character it would be "Godzilla" but only if they bought the rights and only if the preview sequence is of some sort of Godzilla enemy who shoots some sort of fireballs, otherwise my next guess would either "Ultraman" the movie ha ha yeah right or this one "Negadon: The Monster From Mars" see below: (http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.scifijapan.com/MIPTV/UltramanMax02b.jpg&imgrefurl =http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2006/03/&h=596&w=900&sz=429&tbnid=k9tig6uMi7XSYM:&tbnh= 97&tbnw=146&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dultraman%26um%3D1&start=3&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=3) March 14th, 2006 11:21 pm In News: Kaiju, News: DVD NEGADON: THE MONSTER FROM MARS Author: Keith Aiken NEGADON: THE MONSTER FROM MARS launches its all-out assault on Tokyo.

  • Ripper
    Ya, but he said that he wants up to have our own monster just as insane as godzilla. It IS AN ORIGINAL MONSTER if you know JJ is so creative then why would he remake a monster when he could create somthing and be remebered for it. I think he wants this moive to stay with people for years to come like Godzilla or King Kong. It will be amazing and it will be original BECAUSE it he made it. On another note Thank God Monstrous is not the title, and that was the offical teaser poster.BADASS

    Ok this may mean nothing but think back to my post #409. Watch the Cthulhu trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzXtrRybOnU. Theres a freakin polar bear in it. Also what the hell is going on. It seems very J.J. Abrams. Also I found there is no producer attached to this movie. This only fuels my sequel theory. Even though Cthulhu is not an original idea it could still be done in an original fashion and have nothing to do with H.P. Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu". One thing H.P. didn't do was copyright his stories, in fact he encouraged people to continue his ideas. Maybe the smoke monster on the island in lost is merely a physical depiction of Cthulhu's underwater slumber.

    That link doesnt work?

    to #437. That was a real ignorant and immature thing to say. Instead of being a total fun spoiler you should just let people have fun with this. Serious some people even think it's a Pokemon movie. I just look at the clues and based on all of the them plus the gut feeling I had watching the trailer for the first time during transformers, I would have to say I get a Lovecraft impression. Try coming up with your own theory. You just might have fun. Sigmund the Sea Monster did make me laugh though.
  • Howard Phillips
    Sorry #438. Here is the official site which has the trailer http://cthulhuthemovie.com/
  • kevin
    New photos out. Appears to be mid fridays not thursdays
  • kevin
    New pictures out. They let em out on mid fridays. Also, they changed the way things move. You cant just click on it and bring the pic ontop. You have to drag it out from under the other.
  • Ripper
    Dam kevin thought i was going to get here first lolol. Ya its three people partying at 12:04 so apparetly everything is cool until i bet around 12:30. Don't think it really shows us anything.
  • gigaber
    Evidence for the Wolfmother Lyrics connection. This is a real theory, not a joke. "... the song, "The Joker and the Thief" by the band Wolfmother, is playing in the background; the song contains the lyric, "Standing in a field of clover" (the project has also been known as Cloverfield and Clover). So it is a Colossal Girl. The feminine voice at 00:38 and 00:42 was a big clue, thanks 350.
  • JJJackson
    FYI - the pics turn over too....move them, grab, and shake. About the poster, it looks like somethhing has left a wake on the water, plowing into NYC, possibly glancing off the Statue of Liberty. The poster, on one site I saw, appeared to be overlaid with a weird waterey looking reflection of the face of a skyscraper. Thoughts?
  • tony
    try flipping the pics in the website around
  • Tom
    Thanks Howard was proud of the Sigmund line myself, OK everyone take a look at the poster one more time, Claw marks down the back of the SOL, and on the Buildings, 3 Claws to be exact, I know Not Godzilla, But for arguments sake I think thats the general idea of the creature, Also was in the Water, Came from the Sea OBVIOUSLY, I dont think Lions swim very well as for Pokemon? I dont know if they can swim???? That was a joke, For the clue hunters, we need to be thinking totally new beast totally new idea, but I tihnk keeping the Big Toho Lizard in mind might help, because given all the clues by Abrams and the things on the net, Its closer to that then a Squid or a Robot or a Giant Picachu????
  • jc
    dont know if this is fact but ive read that the movie is seen through the camera like in the trailer, ive read that you might see it thru the camera after the event has happened. if this is true then the peope at the party and characters must be fine and not dead or disapeared or whateva, because on the back of the photos there is a lil note. so the pic is from the date. but for her to send it and write on it, means it has to be done after the date and the only other explination is tht it was printed there and then at the party so other mite have been and they may give more clues
  • A R Anderson
    It's the baby Godzilla grown up.
  • H P L (in the hizzle) ahem...Howard Phillips.
    Ok guys. I been flipping, twisting, turning, and staring a different positions. I was thinking that eventually clues would lead to an order in how the pics are to be arranged to eventually form a magic eye picture of the beast. Otherwise I did a good hour long analysis. Obviously the time stamps play a huge role. So now I leave you with far out guess #981. I think it could be........A GIANT DUNNY ACTION FIGURE, but he poops fire balls and he is blank in appearance.
  • Just Looking
    New picture added to 1-18-08.com: 12:04 AM
  • Tom
    #450, I think his name is Gadzoookie!!!!!!!! Oh god waiting for the Giant Picachu poster now!!!
  • kevin
    Im begining to think the 3 biblical beats. Ones water, ones earth, and ones air....
  • kevin
    Oh, and for th record, the 3 beasts are mainly n jewish beleif. That being said, the jewih bible is the old testimant. The old testimant is part of christianity. Allthat said, i heard JJA was jewish.... :shrugg::
  • heckle0
    Crap thought i would be posting first about the new pic and about being able to flip them over...damn
  • scotty
    the biblical support seems like it has to be a top choice. The book of revelation is a is a book filled with parralells and symbolisms mainly talking about the end times. Most christians believe it to be just that, symbolisms, not reality of the end times. But to make a movie about this??? completley original and awesome. read the book of revelation, its a short read. But to put all the symbolism into reality sounds like Abrams to me. I dont need to repeat what else was said about the bible, but mind you. 12 and 7 are holy numbers, numbers divisible by these numbers are holy as well. The same goes for the number 6, and it being unholy. Take a look, those numbers are everywhere. Many would be pleasantly surprised at the potential for a Revelation flik.
  • Ed
    JJ is leading is all to believe that its something huge but watch it turn out to be something small. And I dont mean freaking Pokeman either. Maybe more like The Micronauts.
  • Ed
    C'mon people I explained this 200 posts ago. Listen to the trailer on a computer hooked up to GOOD speakers or listen to it with any cheap pair of headphones and you can clearly tell that the guys says "Alive" and not "Lion." This just goes to show how many of you have crappy speakers on your computer.
  • Chan
    howard phillips thats kinda lame. so you're saying its ok to say its something ghey and definetly past its prime like the pokemon movie... but its not ok to say its an original monster movie according to fact. seriously. CHILL. everyone has a right to their opinion. and i feel your usage of "ignorant" wasnt really right. i think we can discuss what cloverfield is without namecalling. even if it is being fervent in telling everyone that it's original. heh heh ed- i have good speakers(harmon kardon) :) the guy just says it really weird. i think he softens his 'v' ( ALI(v)E can sound like A LIO(n) if misheard plus theres background noise and shit) it took me a couple listens to switch my opinion from lion to alive. either way im entertaining thoughts of a giant japanese fiery monsterlion ravaging NY. stupid i know, but funny as hell if you take a second to picture it. :D *chuckles* hell, id like an original. remakes and sequels and movies from famous books/comics are cool and all... but its would be great to see something original, especially in the filming format we have seen in the preview. yes a first person monster movie would be pretty freaking cool, i mean i dont think that type of filming has been seen since the blair witch project. maybe it wont be a failure this time (didnt like the movie, but i found the style it was made in made it midly unerving- camcorders feel more real). cheers ;)
  • J.J.
    Heh. I think my 'ploy' worked. I just wanted to see the anagrams for myself. Guess its a failed theory.
  • Chan
    a doom/apocalypse revelation movie would be cool even from a secular "world coming to an end" viewpoint. but the implications with christians running around saying "seee? repent!" ( I make it sound more theatrical than it is... but *shudder*) there already were movies on this-- Left behind 1 and 2. they werent very popular though still i dunno would they take it literal to an actual revelation dragon running around( if it was- which i doubt)...i mean its all symbolism, not literal.
  • Chan
    BTW 8 is a holier number than 7 believe it or not. lol. oh, alchemists.
  • Ali3n
    was just on the 1-118-08 website and if you hold down the mouse on the pics and quickly flick them they turn over and has a couple of messages on the back like postcards. here are the messages: 1.Dont forget who takes care of you! Love J 2.Lascano Platt and Robbie-Jan 2008 Robbie, Here,use this photo to send a message of my hotness far and wide!!! Im gonna miss the hell out of ya!!. Love Jamie. not sure if they mean anything?
  • scotty
    I know that all of revelation is symbolic, but if it were all taken literally, it would be one hell of a movie, and any 'Christian' knows this, so i dont think there would be See? Repent! type of response. Christians are like anyone else, all different, they cant be stereotyped. Secondly, this theory may be a little 'out there' but revelation says "The end will come like a thief in the night," and right after the initial breakout, all the car alarms go off like theyd be broken into, like a thief in the night. It's out there, but a fun thing to think about. Also, the left behind series was NOT about the events in revelation all together, its about a more specific Revelation theory called The Rapture.
  • HPL......Howard Phillips. The Venus Occupant
    In regards to the first paragraph of post#459. I want people to have fun. I used the word ignorant in defense of the LOVECRAFT story call of cthulhu. I think I been being fair and for you to attack me specifically is very unfair. Also just so you know it's totally a captain planet movie.
  • JJJackson
    From the Slusho site …the burro thinking 'mitt', the fish thinking 'cheese', now the jellyfish thinks 'hammer’ Mit, Cheese, Hammer M C Hammer….OH NO! STOP HIM! HE'S ALIVE, and he's HUGE! A scary thought, to say the least!
  • kevin
    on the whole lion thing.... its in new york, and the guy has the accent. He says alive. ALSO, the picture with "J". I think J stands for jason. WHICH would make the guy wearing the slusho shirt be the one they were worried about upon reaching the street
  • Anonymous
    OK everybody listen up! I've just been onto the official 1-18-08 website and discovered something REALLY weird? I don't know whether anybody else has figured out how to do this, but I managed to do it (it was only a fluke). When you're on the website put your cursor over one of the photographs and it will turn into a hand, click it with your mouse and draw circles around it in the middle and you should get the photograph to turn over. If doesn't work keep trying and eentually it will. Only two of the photographs have writing on the back, the one with the guy drinking in it and the other one is the one with a girl and two guys smiling. Somebody give it a try.
  • Phenox
    We all know that you can flip the pictures over, and that two of them have writing. The question is what does it help us achieve? I've managed to find everyone's name; Robby Hawkins JJ (Jason) Hawkins Jamie Lascano Hudson Platt Lily Ford Beth McIntyre Marlena Diamond Jason is the person holding the video camera in the trailer, and is "J" on the back of the picture. He's brothers with Robby, and they both live together in the apartment. The rest of the people are friends of Robbie and Jason. Jamie Lascano, Hudson Platt, and Robby are the people in the other picture with writing on it. Other than that, I don't know what else to do with the pictures right now. Any ideas?
  • Phenox
    JJ Abrams said that it wasn't Godzilla, so it won't be. It's been said many times already. It was released at ComiCon
  • Jordan H.
    it looks like it could be some kind of newer godzilla movie.....
  • Kevin
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8OzfjmVfHw theres his comments at the comic con. He didnt release shit besides the SOL poster.
  • CHRIS
    U GUYS THINK TO MUCH IS SIMPLE AND EASY END OF STORY ITS VOLTRON NICE ONE
  • Johnny
  • Dan
    what if they just made this to fuck with people and the movie has none of this in it?????.. ever thought he's screwing with ya?....misdirection and all that?
  • Ripper
    It is not voltron either...that wouldent be an original monster like JJ SAID its going to be. OK this is so far what i think we can count as fact. 1. It comes from the ocean 2. It has claws and has dome sort of fire ability. 3. Its fucken huge and powerful 4. Its NOT godzilla, voltron, pokemon, The Bible or a giant women. 5. ORIGINAL MONSTER!!!!! NEVER SEEN BEFORE, JJ said he wants a monster for us that is as intense as Godzilla. 6. Slusho website is hiding something we need to figure it out. In the history page the animals with objects over ther heads will mean somthing its clues.
  • bam
    why is every one thinking this is an end of the worl dmovie it clearly isnt when jj said that he was going to make a movie with OUR OWN monster and it saidin a first showing post earlier that a video tape is foudn while guys are cleaning up new york and they play it and it shows wat happend so obviusly its not an end of the world/bible movie
  • Ripper
    SLUSHO.COM IS FULLY OPEN!!!! All the bubbles at the main screen are able to be clicked on.Happy talk is abunch of quotes, Flavors is a bunch of robot drink flavors i am going to try to see if there is anything there just wanted to update everyone.

  • CuriousSteve
    It makes you wonder with a budget of just 30 million will we even get to see the "Monster" or just the explosions and peoples reaction???
  • bam
    i think alot of ppl woudl be pretty pissed if we never saw the monster i know i would
  • nick
    From the latest picture at 1-18-08, when the picture is flipped there's an inscription left from a Jamie, along with three other names on the top. Lascano Platt Robbie Obviously "Jamie" has just written the order in the pictures, so we now have one full character's name: Jamie Lascano. Since Myspace is all the rage these days, if you decided to venture on over to check to see if she has a profile up there, and low and behold, there is a Jamie Lascano available. But get this, she's also friends with a Rob Hawkins. Coincidence, are perhaps something legitimate? I think so because Beth has a profile which coincides with her appearance in the beginning of the trailer. There is also another picture of Hawk with his girlfriend Lil. These profiles are all "friends" with each other, so when you're on one, you can just view their friends to see everyone else's. :) So, looks like something is starting. http://projectcloverfield.com/2007/07/27/character-breakdowns/ Edit: Character Names Rob Hawkins (Age: 26) - Myspace Profile [/robbyhawkins] Jason Hawkins (Age: 28) - Myspace Profile [/jj_hawkins] Lilly Ford (Age: 26) - Myspace Profile [/lilly_ford] Beth McIntyre (Age: 26) - Myspace Profile [/beth_mcintyre] Jamie Lascano (Age: 26) - Myspace Profile [/jamielascano] Marlena Diamond (Age: 26) - Myspace Profile [/marlenadiamond] Hudson Platt (Age: 26) - Myspace Profile [/hudsonplatt] they seem to have the same friends friended. “hawk”, whose myspace username is jj_hawkins, looks a lot like the guy in the slusho shirt. on his girlfriend’s page, there’s a comment referring to “jason”. if hawk is jason, is that who they were looking for in the trailer? and if that was his girlfriend asking “where is jason?” it would make sense that she’s worried about him because they are romantically involved. this is getting interesting. read hawk’s blog. “I took the ‘balls back to my apt, packed a bowl, chugged a Slusho, and I was gonna cruise craigslist for job postings but A&E was running a Sopranos marathon. Hud came home, then Rob, and then Lilly and I went out for Chinese.” chugged a slusho… it also looks like he and hud live with rob, but i kind of figured that from the trailer. rob’s pics are up now. from hawk’s comment, “I am far better looking than you. Clearly I was blessed with the good genes. Even ask mom. ” it looks like they’re brothers. The profiles were only registered a month ago (Signup Date: 06/13/07); But the journal entries are all being back-dated i found all that from http://community.livejournal.com/011808/
  • kevin
    the jelly fish in the history part of slusho now thinks about a hammer
  • kevin
    If you look at robs myspace, theres a pic comment thats says "your wearing your favorite shirt" The shirt has two skeltons praying to a moth with an angelic figure above
  • kevin
    Oh and the girl from the split photo on 1-18-08 (dark haired olived skinned) Shes appears to be JJ Hawks girlfriend judging by the myspace. If you want the actresses name, she played in "life as we know it" which was around for one season.

    WHY delete??? This has good info- http://www.fourguys.net/
  • Lone Spartan
    I am not sure if anyone has noticed, but I looked at the new pic and noticed it said January. Then on the trailer the news cast says it is 63 degrees. Of course the average temp for New York is more like 30. So if anyone knows whuts up, please tell me

  • Phenox
    To Lone Spartan: If you look through the videos on youtube made by NightOwl, also seen in a link on post number 71 on this thread, you will see something about that. Appearantly, he made a connection between the 63 degrees from the temperature and the 36 in the time. 63 reversed is 36... And also, take both 6 and 3, and divide them each by 3, it equals 2 and 1, which reversed, is the same as the other half of the time, "12:36", as seen on the t.v. screen. Same time it says it's 63 degrees out... Anyone that wants to talk about the movie can talk with me at allstr008@aol.com, or my AIM is allstr008. .:Phenox1707:.
  • George
    why do we need clues if the monster is supposed to be "new" anyway? you can't get clues to something nobody has knowledge of
  • Thrawn
    I don't know much about MySpace, so it may mean nothing, but has anyone else noticed that if you look at the friend list of these characters, there seem to be 2 missing from the lists. Example, Rob has 8 friends, but only 6 are shown, Jason has 9, but only 7 appear. Interesting, or just my lack of MySpace knowledge?
  • Johnny
    I'd say that if there are other myspace profiles involved other than the 7, they would probably have been created after June 13 and prior to July 23. (That's the latest create date out of the 7) Since the majority of myspace profiles do not include both first and last names (myspace warns against it), and all of the 7 do, that could be [i]one[/i] indicator of a possibly legit IG profile. So beware of any reported supposed, "IG" profiles which were created prior to June 13, or after July 23. That should at least help to narrow it down a little. I guess we can begin to weed them out of the video comments/subscriptions since that's all we have to go on for now.
  • H.P.
    It's Battle Beasts!!!!!!!No but serious it's gotta be some sort of deity. Something with a familiar name but totally original in appearance. I think J.J. means original in the sense of appearance. It's not like you can copyright a deity. I know most of you don't believe that the Ethan site is tied in, but check this out. This message is hidden on the site. "..war came, no longer from the elemental nor from the star's rain of fire. The world was again remade, and the glow was as the coming of the sun upon the Earth. The children of the gods were again too few, scattered and divided and among them walked the ancients and those whose thoughts were not as to the towers and the marvels, but to the End and the destruction of the Earth and to the fires from which nothing could escape."

  • Nobody
    About the temp, the east coast got some warm weather this year so i dont know if it would mean much...or maybe the fireball caused the temp to go up. Oh, and this is kinda cool, but there is a Cloverfield Blvd in Santa Monica, CA.
  • Howard Phillips
    It was funny when I read the first line, but was that really needed Phenox. Your previous comment was very informative, but now it seems you are the average TOOLBAG. Im not even mad at the dick joke, hell I like dick and fart jokes as much as the next sixth grader. So let me get this straight you have a giant dick with a giant STD. Wow I stand corrected it is something totally original.
  • Fenrir
    For the last time it's not Godzilla paramount does not have the rights to that. If it was Godzilla anyway then it would of been obvious because he would of had his trademark roar/yell. The movie also has this guy who could be a character in the movie sending out weird messages and in one of them he says "If you got this video then you are one of us" and "We need to organize now before August 1st". http://www.movieweb.com/movies/film/53/5153/videos/ Watch the Ethan Hass videos. The things he say are very cryptic but after watching them I think there is more to this movie than just the giant monster himself. All I know that this movie looks like its gonna be very good I can't wait to see it. Also It's NOT voltron. Come on would a voltron movie have a trailer like this? Of course not. This movie is something entirely new and fresh at least thats the feeling I am getting.
  • Fenrir

    The first monster roar is followed by an earthquake- Beamoth, monster of land jewish judment day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! taken right from the end of days story based on the jewish religion The second roar is followed by a huge explosion. Leviathan, the monster of the sea, it can breathe fire. The the third monster roar is followed by the staues head. That is Ziz, the monster of the skies. This makes sense because the Ziz could rip the head off the statue, fly, and drop it. What do you think about that? Again, on the slusho homepage, the buttons show a whale- Leviathan, a horse-Beamoth, and, a bird-Ziz. Another, the history page is under water The downloads page is in the sky and the home page is on land
  • Fenrir
    @RIPPER WHOA! Clam down tripfag. I figured that out today after looking around. Also turn your caps off the puzzle game has nothing to do with the movie but Ethan MIGHT(keyword might) have something to do with it since on some movie sites the videos where featured along with the teaser trailer and don't go cussing people out just because I made a simple mistake. Jesus Christ your capslock key is right there Turn it off.

    #504....I read this somewhere but i can't remember... on the slusho.jp site the horse, duck, and fish have a thought bubble and each think of something different...you'll kind of see a play on words. horse : blue oven mit = behemoth fish : cheese = ziz duck: hammer = ??? (no one could figure this out) the guy that got this is on to something... just an idea. what do ya think?

  • Steve-O
    I have no friggin clue if this emans anything, but if you pause the trailer at 1:11 (or 1:12), the door has soem graffitti on it...it says like "2004 ACE." Who is Ace?

    soem guy said u could see the monster at 1:25 down the street, but I dont see anuthing except for street lgiths and ppl........
  • adrian
    as for the pictures try flipping the ones with no writing on them and using those 3 to cover the entire screen. i havent been able to do it but it seems as tho they cover the entire screen PERFECTLY. now to just figure out how that ties into the other 2 pictures left...... also the number from the video is it possible to text that number and recieve a text back?
  • Howard Phillips
    Ok heres something new. The four posters handed out at comicon. Only three have titles. Monstrous, Furious, Terrifying. The fourth has no title. Why would the fourth have no title? I believe this to be a very significant clue and it goes hand and hand with the slusho stuff. We know that the first creature is land based, the second creature flies, and the third is a sea creature. Are these titles on the posters descriptions of the three monsters or one. Also you can find evidence of three monsters in the trailer. Three roars. I could be wrong but I counted three roars spread out. As far as the pics on the official site go look very closely for evidence of the three different monsters. Maybe all three monsters combine to form one which I believe would be the title of the movie.
  • nick
    howard phillips idk who told u there are three monsters but there is only one we know this cuz jj abrams said america needs there own MONSTER thats singuler the 4th poster says barbrius (sp??) and all 4 of the words describe the ONE monster.
  • kevin
    robby now has 190 friends on myspace, and is online right now
  • H.P.
    Ok so the monster does all three actions. I personally think three monsters would be cool, plus I thought that was what the clues on slusho were getting at. Nick where did you see the fourth poster that said Barbrius. I would like to see that, because I cant find it online. What does barbrius mean? Get back to me. I looked up the word, but was redirected to the encyclopedia. It's not an adjective unless you are spelling it wrong.
  • shane
    IT would completley and absolutley suck big time if it was another godzilla, im hope it's something new and unknown.
  • cooper
    it would absolutley and completeley suck if it was another godzilla film, i hope it's something new and unknown, the trailer was a brilliant idea though. I think they shouldn't make any more trailers, none.
  • nick
    sry the word i was lookin for was Barbarous that poster is actually real hard to find i dont think its made yet butu can google "barbarous cloverfield poster" and it will take u to a bunch of sites talkin about it mostly theyall say the same thing tho

    Hey! They found a No Parking permit sitcker put up in New York with paremounts name on it, the thing is the productions name on the sticker is "Cheese".

They are clever at hiding the production behind such code words. xD I know 1-18-08 is the promotional title or is it? Would be nice if someone can shed some light on that. Also I have to ask is the cthulhu theory debunked or what or could it be more than one monster I heard rumors about on other sites?

    Heres kind of a scenerio I put together, some of you might have got this too first to pics they are all partying then the pic with the 2 girls. I think these 2 girls are seeing something coming at them or at a building then it hits the building which leeds to the next picture with all the smoke after the building collapsed. in another area, soldiars have already arrived and are leading people to safety which is the last pic (by the way, I think the soldiars arrived there too quickley. they must have known something before hand) this is something i just thought of off the top of my head hope it helps
  • dan
    Its the big screen version of Rampage, the monster arcade game. Where giant monsters drink shakes (slushos) and can throw fire, destroy buildings (the object of the game is to cause destruction), eat cheese (read comment 521) fight off other monsters like giant squid (comment 521).
  • Aftab Bali
    wow dan, that actually makes alot of sense, wow I can't believe no one thought of that nice theory man
  • L
    wow this is starting to get good guys... I love how this myspace and slusho thing are coming together... If you go to the myspace pages of the characters you really start to get a feel for these characters and get to know them.. I feel even more compelled to go to this movie now that I have checked all this out. It's cool that you see these supposed "people" online, and then in 5 months from now we will see them all being chased by a giant monster in the movie theater.. I think the whole slusho is the key to the backstory of this monster... We already have some idea.. We know the slusho drink has a secret ingredient that can cause someone to grow to enormous proportions.. This has got to be part of how the monster comes about.. Now all that is left is figuring out what the hell this monster looks like.. Maybe we will get some clues on another website that has yet to be found.. Until then I think these myspace accounts with new comments added daily can give us small clues to figuring out more about this question mark of a movie. JJ - if you're lurking around good job buddy. This marketing shit your pulling is great... Figuring out this puzzle is an awesome way to spend the rest of my summer. haha
  • bam
    #526 its not fucking rampage that would be so fucking retarded jj said we need OUR OWN monster if it was rampage it wouldnt be our own the monster is something god damnit how many times do we have to tell u guys that
  • H.P.
    Im with you bam. I too am sick of hearing about the same shit just because people can't read through. I can't count how many times Godzilla comes up. No originality. No over the top theories, I love reading shit like that not "oh I think It's Godzilla or Rampage or fucking Zilla or fucking Power Rangers" AND IT"S NOT VOLTRON!!! Those were all cool theories before we knew it to be an original concept!! The Comicon or NONCOMICON!! statement sealed that deal for me.
  • bam
    ppl shouldnt come on here posting "oh its rampage" "its godzilla" or "its voltron" UNLESS YOU HAVE PROOF CUZ LL OF US HAVE PROOF THAT SHOOTS DOWN ALL OF THOSE THEORIES and you guys have nothing to support ur own theories but we all who dont think its any of that and think its just and original monster have ALOT of information to back it up. so dont go postin shit like that unless u have proof
  • http://yahoo.com Bill
    Look, J.J. Abrams doesn't own the right 2 godzilla, so it's not a godzilla movie! I think it might just be a new monster, and it's probably original! So get over it!!!
  • Ripper
    Bam, H.P, I'm with you. People need to think about this shit logically and read all the stuff we all read and view all the websites we do. Insted of watching the teaser then saying "well goly i bet that there is godzilla, or rampage or telutubies.". So please unless you have somthing to contribute dont bother we have debunked ALL of the theroys you have thrown out. It is a NEW monster thats that...nothing else. All we can do is try to solve this massive, amazing puzzle JJ put together.
  • H.P.
    Bam, Ripper, myself. We need one more to make up the four horseman of cloverfield. I nominate kevin as the fourth. We shall spread our message far and wide. We shall talk about the clues that matter. I mean it's ok to joke and say it's shit like captain planet or denver the last dinosaur, but I hate these dead serious chumps who make stupid remarks. When I say stupid shit rest assure I am totally joking, but seriously it's gotta be Fing Fang Foom.

    I did some myspace investigation and found out some interesting things. Ok if you go to Jason's myspace page (/jj_hawkins) You will see a few comments.. If you click SNLfanForever's page ( http://www.myspace.com/snlfanforever ) you will see in her quote that she says, "Slusho Zooooomm" *Edit* - She actually changed it today.. But I swear yesterday it said Slusho Zoooom Now click on ameya's page : http://www.myspace.com/ameya0okayasu A couple things caught my eye here.. Under general she says: "I love old monster movies. You know, the ones with really bad special effects. I used to not like real scary movies that much, because I'm such a scardy cat, but now I'm warming up to them (as long as I'm with a bunch of friends when I'm watching it!). It's weird, though, because I've always loved scary books" Thought that was kinda interesting.. Also, under people i'd like to meet, she says this: "I kind of want to meet my mom's grandfather. He's the one who moved his family all the way from Hokkaido to America ... but after WWII and the interment camps he moved his family back to Japan. I bet he'd probably have some interesting stories ^_^ " Now, this one caught my eye because she mentions Hokkaido.. The SLUSHO site also mentions Hokkaido.. If you go to where the quotes from different people pop up, there is one that mentions Hokkaido.. I don't really recall the context of which Hokkaido is brought up, but i'm pretty positive that it is mentioned.. This brings me to believe that maybe Hokkaido Japan has some significance in the movie.. Just a thought.. :) This girl is also from New Yorklike the rest of them... Just thought these 2 profiles were interesting.. You guys should check them out and see if there is anything you can gather from them..
  • L
    That Ameya profile has another blog on it.. Things are starting to come together.. Here is the blog entry: "I feel like an idiot For having my original myspace deleted. I just found out that Saburo might get transfered back home ... I don't think he wants to get transferred so soon either. I think he's going to ask around to see if there's anyone else who'd like to go instead. He said something about some guy ... I forget his name ... who is obsessed with Japan - maybe he'd rather go? Either way, I have until the middle of January before the transfer actually happens. Maybe his superiors will change their minds?" Hmmmm!? Perhaps this has to do with Rob going to Japan?

    HAHAHA...H.P I love it!!
  • geezer
    wow... you people are pretty die hard in here.. but anyway, people should read atleast 10 other comments before they leave a comment themself. that way, you wont post something that has already been posted, or something that has been proven to be false or unrelated.
  • Phenox1707
    Hey Ripper and HP. If you need another, I'm in. Lol.
  • Matt
    I think Godzilla should be in the 4 horsemen, because he's definitely in the movie.
  • geezer
    one more thing. There is a rumor that the movie may be called "Overnight" which fits well sense the monster attacks new york over the night time period. i read about it on ign heres the link http://movies.ign.com/articles/809/809789p1.html its just a rumor though, and if somebody already posted this somewhere im sorry
  • H.P.
    Paramount releases alot of movies a year so I really wouldn't go on that info. Nice find though geezer. Also kudos to L with the myspace stuff. I do alot of posting at work and my work doesn't allow myspace navigating. As for Phenox1707, I got no problem with that if it's ok with Ripper and Bam. I think Kevin got scared away by all the idiots.
  • Phenox
    Yeah, I read through it, and it doesn't sound too likely to me. At least, I wouldn't name a movie of this scale "Overnight". It just wouldn't work in my opinion. Hey HP, if we're the Four Horsemen, shouldn't we do something to make that a bit more known? And I think we should come up with something else instead of "horsemen". I don't have any horses... xD

    haha sounds good H.P.

    so there wasnt a photo put up today?? how come?? i think i know. the first photo was posted on a thursday. then the 2nd and 3rd posted on thursday then they started posting them on friday. how many have been posted on fridays?? 3 soo im guessing the new photo is going to be posted tomorrow and then it will be every saturday know wat im saying?? or maybe they just stopped posting them who knows.
  • geezer
    im sure they're gonna put more photos up, that would be a sort of dissapointment if they just stopped posting photos, and today while i was at my asian friend's house, i thought of something . he had never seen the trailer to "cloverfield" before, and we were talking about it after we viewed it about 8 times, and he asked me when it came out, and i said january 18th, and he said (jokingly) "man we can probably go to laos and watch it by october" what he means is that alot of movies come out in asia before they come out in the usa, and i got to thinking... what if cloverfield has a release date of october or somethin in asia, and what if it has a whole different name than the u.s version, but then it hit me that the date 1-18-08 was on all of the website pics
  • Jwal
  • geezer
    also i discovered if you look right at the first explosion (not the earthquake) you can see dark red flames being spewed out, you can see it right before they show the fireballs in the sky, could it be the monster? maybe

    Check out my blog. I have figured out the title to this UNTITLED JJ ABRAMS film…..please read…. http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=199710262&blogID=295496865
  • Steve-O
    Blah, blah, blah.....you guys are gettign the best information, I mean the 4 horseman or 4 ewoks.....w/e, lol. I look at your posts first as they appeal the most to me...
  • Steve-O
    Yo nightowl, I didnt bother to read all of that on ur blog cuz I dont do myspace, but the title u guessed on intrigued me.
  • nick
    ppl plz read posts before u post something we aleady knew u could flip the pics
  • nightowl
    Steve-O...yeah man, It's just an educated guess but I feel it's a great one. Did you look at that D351 dude's page by any chance? His page offers up alot of clues. And did you happen to notice that it very well may be JJ Abrams himself?? Look closely... I have been really fascinated with this film so far. I've never ever researched such a film like this. Kudos to JJ Abrams for such a genius marketing campaign.....he has truly made this so much more fun!!
  • DoughFlow
    LATEST 1-18-08 News! I just heard from a friend who worked on the movie about all the details for the film. The monster is basically a giant parasitic grasshopper monster. It spawns from the sewers, the Hudson River ect. It spawns off eggs that hatch and grow. Apparently if your bitten by one, you implode pretty much. The movie isn't entirely cam-corders, though most of it is, it is also shot with a digital camera. They wanted to call the movie "monsterous" which is pretty lame, but someone had the copy-rights for it. They are still looking for a title. I don't know how into bug-monsters I am. Hopefully they can pull this one off but I just lost a little interest hearing that it looked like a grasshopper. I'm still excited though.
  • Dillon
    the monster is a parasitic bug. looks like a grasshopper. spawns off smaller eggs. the monster comes from the sewers and hudson river.
  • geezer
    nightowl, i saw that guys myspace and checked out his pics, he seemed to have alot of cthulhu stuff in his last few pics, made me wonder
  • nightowl
    Hey Geezer...totally man. I'm not saying it's definitely Cthulhu but there's an awful lot of references there....maybe it's Cthulhu plus another or more monsters/creatures? At this point, nothing should be ruled out. And did you look at the D351's pictures of himself? In only one does he show his hair while having that mask on...and it resembles JJ Abrams an awful lot....wouldn't you agree? I don't have all the answers but I feel that I'm getting somewhere....DYSTOPIA man....DYSTOPIA....
  • H.P.
    Ok I been talking Cthulhu since I got in here. As much as I want it to be Cthulhu (believe me when I say I am without a doubt the biggest LOVECRAFT fan). Abrams however said the monster would be original, but if you now about Lovecraft then you know that he didn't copyright the Cthulhu mythos. Basically J.J. could totally revamp the Cthulhu mythos keep the image of Cthulhu the same, but use a different name. That's really the only way it could be cthulhu. Refer to post #409 for one of my early Cthulhu theories. I'm still hoping it's a Lobo movie. The main man kicks total ass. LOL BAM PHENOX RIPPER H.P. "The Four Horsmen will ride till the end" 1-18-08
  • geezer
    it does look alot like abrams's hair nightowl, and dystopia would make sense for a good title, since you looked up what it meant, it fits perfect. i also looked up the chic's name who commented on his cthulhu pic, her name is arethusa, which means "mythical nymph", probably has nothing to do with the movie though
  • bigbobbo
    Alright everyone G4 announced that the monster is in fact cthulhu its not a parasite u made that up and the movie is probably gonna be called overnight.
  • bigbobbo
    so ur welcome
  • geezer
    when did g4 say it was cthulhu? if it was on the rumor mill before comicon, then its probably false, thats why the ycall it RUMOR MILL, and overnight is just a rumor too
  • nightowl
    The movie is going to be called DYSTOPIA. The meaning in Dictionary.com is this- 1. state in which the conditions of life are extremely bad as from deprivation or oppression or terror [ant: utopia] 2. a work of fiction describing an imaginary place where life is extremely bad because of deprivation or oppression or terror DYSTOPIA.........DYSTOPIA...........DYSTOPIA........... this is the tile of the JJ Abrams untitled movie.........
  • geezer
    hey nightowl and h.p you were right about your cthulhu theory, atleast i think, i found a vid on youtube that states that cloverfield is based on cthulhu. i saw this on tv when it aired but i never found the download for it. check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzfNQkwwT3c also i found some set videos if you haven't seem them yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5xg2_EpStI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYwdI162feQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFdCOIEg2Vg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lU_YE9P4UU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2a92ACM7O0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH4bHGptByM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Tzq_xbS9A and is that jj abrams with the hat on in part 3?
  • benos
    The monster's face is hidden in the fire. But i might be wrong.
  • bam
    omg thats the dumbest shit ive heared i watched that video and there is no fuckin monster comin out of that fire its just explosion just some of this has gotten to some peoples heads. there is no face in the fire
  • Steve-O
    yea, you can't see a monster anywhere in this trailer.........
  • dillon
    actually no, i know for a fact, i have inside information - the monster is a giant bug - similiar to the one in MIB, its not fuckin cthulhu - this is a rumor - it is 100% parasitic bug/ resembles a grasshopper...it spawns off babies who inturn grow and eat humans - its going to be stupid i think now - but i'll still give it a chance
  • geezer
    i can't imagine another giant bug movie
  • Dillon
    ya i know man - i was kinda dissapointed when i heard - when there was rumors about a giant lion that sounded more interesting ha
  • geezer
    lol, yea, lets just hope it looks bad ass and not all anorexic and shit
  • nightowl
    OK, think about it. If the movie was called DYSTOPIA, What sounds ten times better and would look ten times better than a giant parasitic type grasshopper looking monster?? CTHULHU. CTHULHU would look fucking awesome and a helluva lot creepier than any grasshopper like creature ever could try to be. But let's not forget, there may be more than one monster/creature. It could very well be this giant grasshopper monster and Cthulhu.......DYSTOPIA will suck if it's this giant grasshopper type monster...that's my opinion and it looks like everyone else is already bummed on even the thought of that.
  • geezer
    i think he's gonna re-image cthulhu, which makes him "new"
  • http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington
    I heard there was a rumor going around that there will be a new trailer in front of Stardust? Another one of Paramount's movies... but it's a rumor and it won't be confirmed until anyone sees it actually infront of Stardust... But this could be very interesting if it's true...
  • The Speculator
    Maybe the "lion" is a Griffen? There are claw marks on the back of the Statue of Liberty on the poster. But a Griffen isn't new.
  • geezer
    im pretty sure it's not a lion, and he says "its alive" not "its a lion"
  • L
    Dillon - Just where is this inside information coming from? Everyone is on a tight gag order, how exactly did you find this out?
  • nightowl
    Not saying that you are completely wrong but anyone that claims to have all this inside information should really be careful because everyone involved with the shoot has to sign confidentiality contracts and if they get caught slipping information, that's a major lawsuit and nothing they can do will save them because they signed the contract. So really Dillon, I could sit here and say the same types of things...I know someone because their grandpa's dog told me that it was a giant flying squirrel that drops turds on everyone.....cmon dude...you gotta come up with better shit than that....if you know so damn much, try shouting out a name of whoever told you. Then maybe we'll believe you instead of spewing BS. Until then, we won't believe you because you back your claims up without any hard, solid facts.
  • bam
    plz let drop the lion thing. its real old now the word lion shouldnt be brought up at all
  • geezer
    i agree with nightowl, you should give us a name of this person that told you what the monster is, a full name
  • H.P.
    I can see lots of bullshit got slung this weekend. Big thanks to bam for holding it down in here. Dillon your a waste of space in here. If you actually think a giant fucking grasshopper is cooler than Cthulhu you need to take those ipod ear buds off and wake the hell up. I don't know where you get your source, but what I can say for a fact is that you are a complete liar. Also pick a lovecraft book sometime. You might just learn what terror truly is. The Parasite could mean anything. We like to revamp Japanese stories, hell it could be based off the Parasyte manga for all we know. I just think a giant grass hopper would ruin this movie and I know everyone on here agrees.

Your wrong no question about it. Second, A giant grasshopper...are you fuckin joking. Not only would that be like a moive form the 50's and suck but JJ would be the laughing stock of the film industry if he claims to make something "As intense as Godzilla" and brings a fukin grasshopper out at the moive. Third, I dident see any monster in the smoke or by the fire.. a bright orange light behind the explosion yes but that could be just another fire ball, or the monsters eye either way would not help us any to know what color eyes it had so o well. FOUR HORSEMEN...Hell ya
  • Dillon
    obviously its not a giant fucking grasshopper - that was the description i was given just for an image - its obviously alien and going to look a lot different than a green grasshopper - its just bug-like - and secondly, i'm not that desperate for attention to the point where i would make up some bullshit to stir things up - and the reason i didn't give out the dudes name was strictly because of the contract, but nonetheless - you will all see when the movie comes out, and maybe it doesn't resemble a grasshopper that closely but thats the description i was given, i figure its similiar to the bug in MIB, just giant and probably tweaked a little - fuck the squid anyway thats lame pirates already did something of the sort
  • Ripper
    So I just watched all the youtube set videos...lots of guys beating the shit out of a car with a sledgehammer...not much else. The destroyed cars and rubble is nice but the videos did not show us anything that helps up in anyway. Ok videos but the guy shakes his camara to much, if he sticks around the set mabye he will eventually see somthing but i dout that JJ would let anyone close enough to anything important to give it away. I don't think it's an alien or i giant bug sorry i dont belive it. it's somethig that either we unearthed or made by mistake, Slusho holds the a key we have not found...i just got a feeling. Can anyone give me a hand in finishing the Slusho translation. I have got all but two symbols turned into japannesse lettering i need the ninth and tenth. This is what i have so far(ki fu da ke ja__na shi) in order. This is under you cant drink just six, it may be nothing but i just would like to know that it is nothing and not a sign we have right in front of us and are overlooking. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Howard Phillips
    Ok DILLON then what clues on the Slusho site support this grass hopper like alien being . I can't even believe you mention that MIB movie. MIB has got to be the worst comic book movie of all time, and the sequel is the second worst comic book movie of all time. If the monster even remotely resembles one of those stupid MIB aliens I will surely be disapointed. Maybe you want to paint a different picture description wise. I still can't believe you compared Cthulhu to the fucking squid people in those stupid fucking Pirates movies. Clearly you have an imagination problem. Cthulhu in no way resembles those pathetic squid people. Im getting so tired of all this bullshit. Abrams says we need our own monster, then what the fuck does he consider Cthulhu to be. Cthulhu is 100% American made. Dillon if your source turns out to be right then I will apologize to you. -The Four Horsemen- Wooooooooooo!!!!!!

    i've just learned that they don't eat the people, they infect them, either through biting or some sort of attack - but they quarantine the infected people, but apparently they just implode...i'm not saying i like MIB or Pirates of the Carribean i just don't have that much faith in movies now a days - it would just be typical to dissapoint us with a bug, i think i'd be interesting to be cthulhu..the more original the better..but i think its just a sad reality that its a bug-alien
  • H.P.
    Ok that was much better dillon. In the end I respect your opinion. As for this supposed trailer before Stardust all I can say is that my girlfriend is the assistant mgr at a movie theater, my good friend is the projectionist. I already gave him the word to look out for any trailers that come in marked Slusho, The Parasite, or Cloverfield(anything else out of place). I will let you guys know first hand. I usually preview the movies every Thursday/Friday morning. Soon as I get to work Friday morning I will let everyone know that way you guys don't have to pay for tickets and get disapointed when no trailer hits.
  • bam
    On 08/03/07 a second mysterious teaser trailer was reveled before special advanced screenings of the upcoming Paramount film "Stardust". The trailer appears to be a live news feed of a tv news crew filming in front of the Wonder Wheel on Coney Island when an unexpected explosion accures in the background, the news woman urges the crew to keep filming as they turn their camera in the direction of the explosion.A loud roar is heard but the source never seen but the camera does catch a flaming Wonder Wheel flying in the crews direction just before it blinks out. The film has no title and the trailer ends with the date of 01-18-08 then a "Roar" followed by the words "The Countdown Has Begun"
  • bam

  • Denisse
    YOu guys should really check this site out http://1-18-08news.com/ this guy is pretty damn close to what may be the truth and definitely a whole hell of a lot better than what a lot of you dipshits are coming up with. I'm totally going with this guys idea for an alien thats been living in the sea for a long time and gets awakened by the slusho drink. The secret ingredient in slusho was found in the deep sea. (per slusho.jp) anyway...just check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKnJue5OcIM and the site.
  • Ripper
    Denisse, That guy is a moron. The only thing i found of intrest on that site is the 3 1-18-08 posters i had not seen before...torward the bottom of the page in the video the Final Clue. The posters are One- a guy standing in a rubble filled stone hand..or fingertips of the hand at least and it says RUN.FAST Two- A lady on a phone with cops around here in downtown new york saying RESIST..i belive. Three- A giant shadow looming over New York and it says HIDE. Other than that the web site tells us what we aready know...O he also thinks that the monster comes to get Slusho...thats what draws it to New York even though the drink originated in Japan. So take a gander but do not hope for much posters are the highlights unless you think the monster comes to drink some slushees. -The Four Horsemen-

    damn abrams is GOOD, he has you all so fooled, and I'm not even gonna BEGIN to say I know what it is cause then I'd be fooled! but one thing to realize is when LOST first came on, everyone thought it was about a monster on the island, in 3 seasons we average seeing that so called monster about 2-3 times per season, cause there is SOOOOO much more to do with that show and that island then the monster, JUST like this movie, whether related or not! also abrams likes to throw out false leads, half the movie would prob be ruined if we were able to figure it out before it's released so that is NOT gonna happen, to do so would be like claiming to fully understand religion and what happens in the after life, fun to think about and even stumble apon certain truths but until you die who the hell knows, until the movie is released who the hell knows, until lost comes to an end who the hell knows, personally, and yes you will all call me crazy, but I believe all 3 are connected!
  • H.P.
    Yeah did you figure that out from the Lost font used on the first teaser poster. We been through all this shit decker.

  • decker
    thanks HORSEMEN, great comment, unlike yourself I don't make rude remarks over a movie message board and I certainly didn't call anyone retarded, but think about it, who has EVER made an untitled movie before, my guess is that now that someone finally has, it will be quite difficult to just figure it all out, that is what abrams is all about, and my camparison to religion is not the movie but more so lost and the creativeness of abrams mind, and I'm just guessin that the movie (connected or not) will be the same type of thing to figure out, even once we begin watching it and probably even once finished... abrams is exactly what hollywood needs, someone to prove that there is MUCH, MUCH more then money and special effects to a good film! this one will make us think, it already has! I mean I've gotten through shifts of work talkin and tryin to figure out the mystery of lost, I've been late to work talkin bout it with the grandparents after droppin the kido off, and this is the kind of thing abrams gets off on, the fact that we all spend this amount of time tryin to make sense of it all, how many other movies or shows can do that???

I do think the two phenoms fed off of each other in perfect synchronicity and most likely will continue to do so. Therefore I have changed the title my blog. I am leaving the address the same so you can still find me. So there. http://ethanhaasthoughts.blogspot.com/

    In reference to post #606. I never called anyone retarded I was being sarcastic, and I never made any rude comments. I used some adult language, but that was it. I am truly sorry if I offended anyone. Im not knocking your "Lost" theory it's just been thought of in here. For whatever it's worth I am sorry if I offended you decker that is not the goal of this page, and I assure you The 4 Horsemen are way better than that. Howard Phillips Bam Ripper Phenox1707

    uhghhsfghsfgkhfgkljh cvp its not a voltron remake
  • dillon
    shits a bug
  • Howard P.
    Ok dillon I thought it was bug like. to quote dillon its obviously alien and going to look a lot different than a green grasshopper - its just bug-like - and secondly, i'm not that desperate for attention to the point where i would make up some bullshit to stir things up. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Ripper
    cvp...no its not a Voltron moive this has been confirmed through JJ's statments at comic-con as it will be an all origanl monster not a addaptaion or remake. He wanted to make us our own monster just as intense as godzilla. Dillon, I personally feel that JJ would not make this a lost related moive because to appreciate something completly new and original you would have to be able to stand back and say "Wow that was an amazing film" and not have to connect it with a TV show. If he wants to make this as remembered as Godzilla is and that famous he will most likely make this a stand alone project. Cause who wants there entire career played out through connections to a Tv show with slowly slipping ratings and a deeply complex story line. This is however just the thoughts that I have on the matter. -The Four Horsemen-

    Sorry for the hype on the new trailer, but my theater is not getting stardust. Can anyone tell me how legit slusho.org is. Bam, Ripper, and Phenox I need your opinions. There are a couple sites linked to slusho.org as well. We need to stay focused on slusho for now. Horsemen assemble!!!!!
  • geezer
    im suppose to go see rush hour 3 on friday, so i guess i could sneak into stardust and catch the preview, but it depends on how far apart the start of the movies are
  • decker
    yeah no prob HP, I just wanted to make sure ya understood I myself wasn't makin fun of anyone else's comments or anything, I think we'll all be quite pleased once we finally see this baby!
  • H.P.
    As you all might know Slusho.jp has some semi new stuff up. They mention the island of Hokkaido. The Island itself looks like the profile of a flying fish like monster with hind legs like a grass hopper. The slogan "Slusho is people" shows up often. Also you can make your own slusho drink using robots. -The 4 Horsemen-
  • Ripper
    Hey H.P. I dont know if that slusho.org is legit two of the websites at the bottom are false one is giving a public apoligy (that would be the website made from the letters of the licence plate in the trailer.). The other two are ones we know for fact are good, 1-18-08.com and slusho.jp.com. I dont know about his claim about the moive being based on the 1950's flick, but i dont know. It could have been were the idea for the moive originated, but other than that I dont think the moive would hold that storyline or monster, but a jumpoff for an original film...ya i can see it. The website all in all not legit just another speculation site, trailer is funny as hell thought. -The Four Horsemen-
  • memphisjay
    go to the website and flip the pics over 1-18-08.com dont forget who takes care of you love, jesus i'm gonna miss the hell out of you sincerely, the devil ethan haas = hate satan? maybe an apocalyptic movie film?
  • stevenash
    did anyone notice that on the back of the pcture that says, "don't forget who takes care of you" that "forget" looks like itis spelled "forpet" do you think its just the font or it was done on purpose? whats your thoughts?

  • H.P.
    I don't know what the fuck the three posts before me are talking about. Memphisjay where the hell do you see Jesus or Satan written on those photos. I think they are talking about Jason. Also ethan haas has nothing to do with cloverfield. The puzzle site was to market the upcoming epic roleplaying game Alpha Omega. Stevenash you double posted complete and utter crap. If you want legit clues go to slusho.jp. Also refer to my post #619, trust me on this one. Look closely at the island of Hokkaido on wikipedia. It very very closely resembles a horse, bird, fish, and frog hybrid from a profile stand point. Look at the head. It has the same miss shaped head as the horse on the slusho page. I could be going crazy, but it does make sense of the animal theme. Just check out the option called happy talk read all the quotes and eventually someone will mention hokkaido. All the animals say every quote eventually so Im sure whatever animal says the quote is not relevant. -The Four Horsemen-
  • stevenash
    This message is to The Four Hoursemen. Ok so I accidentally double posted a comment... so get the Hell over it, life goes on, and why are your post so angry??? We are all curious about this movie that is why we are all on here. I respect your comments and enjoy the information you are giving out but, The truth be told we are all just "guessing" what this monster is all about... and might not even know the answer untill the movie comes out, so can you just calm down a bit and please respect peoples posing on here. Thank you.
  • Ripper
    H.P. I agree with everything you just said about the posts before you. People please read all the comments before you feel the need to share you clues, guesses, and hypothosis on the moive. We do want to figure out what this moive is about and having to read the same things that we say are NOT fact, or remotely true just hinders us all in the advancement of solving this mystery. So please just read the posts before you say somthing some one else...or 15 other people had said before, Thank You. H.P. I will go check out the wiki site stuff in a bit and get back to ya. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpatty Bill
    I think I read all the previous posts and do not believe I read this previously. I've been looking at the trailer and noticed a few things: 1. The explosion happens when they are on the roof but the Statue of Liberty's head doesn't going flying until they are on the street. What would the explosion be from? The poster indicates that the head was ripped off then the creature/monster went towards the city, unless the monster knocked the head off as it was heading back into the sea after destroying New York (which doesn't seem right to me) 2. Several have indicated the freaky looking face in the right side of the photo from 12:01A (or is it 12:31?). I believe this to be the girl seen 37 seconds into the trailer and again at 1:27. Not that this means anything but some seemed to think the face in the photo is out of place. 3. At time :27 in the video something that looks like a small clock can be seen in the background above the door way. It looks like it says the time is 11:15. 4. When the Statue of Liberty head rolls to a stop there is a sign on a pole. Spray painted on it is "Dead" something. I originally thought Dead End but it is not End, it's Dea....something. 5. When they are on the roof top running back through the door after the explosion, falling debris lights up the wall to the right of the door where what looks like 1987-2004 can be seen followed by some initials. Just some stuff to chew on.
  • geezer
    cowpatty bill, i noticed the dead end thing too, but it looks like it says "dead dead" which doesn't really make much sense. and as far as lady liberty's head goes... the monster had to rip off the head before he swam to the island and came up thru the gas line, because liberty's head flys towards the building at a certain angle, as if the monster is standing right behind the last visible building on the left.
  • bam
    hey sry ive been gone for a while. H.P. i looked at that slusho.org site ehhhhh it looks prett false to me just looks like some fan who wants every one to believe his teorie :P
  • H.P.
    Stevenash, Im not a hateful person in anyway. If my posts seem hateful then it's because I'm very passionate about this movie, and when I hear crap like "I think it says forpet and not forget" I go mad. Tell me how your investigating can even hold a candle to the Horsemen, and I wont give you shit. Come up with something constructive and I will praise you. I mean I don't expect you to read every single comment, but it wouldn't hurt to read the last fifty or so. That way you have a good idea of just how serious we are, and if you plan on sticking around I would pick a time where you have nothing to do and just go through all the posts just like ripper suggests that way you can feel our pain. Trust me I wan't everyone to have fun and not get frustrated when they can't get new and interesting info. -The 4 Horsemen-
  • Ripper
    Cowpatty Bill, Thank you for reading the posts. As for your post... 1.It's possible that the explosion was from the monster when at the statue of liberty. It could be more than one monster (I don't really belive thats the case)...but geezers post is a possibility to there is no way to know that untill the moive or we have more trailers, cause there is nothing in the teaser that could give us that awnser all we can do is speculate. 2. It may be the girl from the trailer but i dout either way that her picture holds any relevence, she is just a guest at the party. 3.The clock does read 11:15 i belive that is the actual time in the moive, because the pics on 1-18-08 and the trailer show everything is cool till 12:30. 12:32 is what time the news stations says it is on the trailer. So the first intial "shake" is at 12:30-12:31, its hard to tell how long the party is going on before hand because of time lapse of the camera. 4. The sign by the head of Liberty, I saw that to but as geezer said it looks like dead dead to me. 5. That may be somthing but i dout it. The 1987-2004 ace on the wall yes that is what it says. 2004 is not Zoom as some thought. Stevenash...no it's not forpet H.P. is right. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    Also, http://www.1-18-08.com/photos_8.swf gives you the same photos but smaller. I tried different combinations (like photos_7.swf, etc) but couldn't get anything else to come up. I found this out when I looked at the source for the website (View>Source). When you type in http://www.1-18-08.com/images you get a Forbidden message but not a Page cannot be found message indicating that the directory does exist. If anyone could figure out the name of an image that might be in that folder then perhaps something could be pulled up. I've tried many things but nothing so far.
  • Cowpattybill
    One more thing has been bugging me. Again it may have been stated already but I didn't see it. One the website, the photo marked 12:04A. There is something above the blond girls head. I don't know if she is holding it or not. I thought it was upside down but it's not. The last 2 letters are HD and the style of the letters reminds me of High Definition. I don't know what it is though. Ripper and geezer, thanks for your input. I agree with what you both say. I don't know if anything I mentioned was a clue but I thought they were interesting enough to mention.
  • moviebuff
    I found this site when my friend told me there was this movie Trailer that I HAD too see, don't get me wrong the movie lookks like it will be great, but why is everyone trying to figure this thing out, whats wrong with just waiting untill the movie comes out or until there is a Trailer that gives more reliable information. Everything that I am reading on here sounds interesting and everyone seems to be doing alot of research but in actualality no one REALLY knows anything and all these "clues" could just be used to throw everyone off.
  • Ripper
    H.P. I must be losing it to cause i can see the fish and the donkey head in the island, im doing some research on the Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Falut lines, and Winter climate around there...got a hunch. Cowpattybill that is a handy little tool to view them all at once did not have that thanks...As for the Images and the Forbidden message. I belive that the reason you are getting that message is because it DOES exist but we wont be able to access them till the whole 1-18-08.com is open, because they own the domain name and just have not opened the website to us even though it is created or being created. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    Ripper, if there was picture in the images folder called ripper1.jpg and I typed in http://www.1-18-08.com/images/ripper1.jpg it would pull up the picture even though the folder itself is forbidden. It is forbidden to view the contents of the folder but if you knew the exact path of a file within the folder it will pull it up. T This doesn't mean that there are any files in the folder but we do know the folder exists. moviebuff, "why is everyone trying to figure this thing out," --- because it's fun.
  • Ripper
    Cowpattybill, That would be HD for High Definition and it is from a camera that the pic is taken with.
  • geezer
    hey moviebuff, the reason why everyone is looking for clues on this movie is (in my opinion) the fact that jj abrams himself said that there are lots of clues in the traier and the two official sites. even though it's an original movie, it could still have simularities or links to a previous movie, or something in japanese culture etc. and THAT is why we search =)
  • bam
    """"They mention the island of Hokkaido. The Island itself looks like the profile of a flying fish like monster with hind legs like a grass hopper"""" H.P. where did u see that on the site i cant fidn it : / -The Four Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    Just search the island on wikipedia, they show you the map images and satelite images.
  • geezer
    on the 5th image it kinda looks like a sting ray
  • Ripper
    Ok this is what i have found interesting about the island og Hokkaido, this consists of climate patterns, Volcanoes, Earthquakes and the path the monster would most likley travel if it came from there. Hokkaid? is known for its cool summers and icy winters. The average January temperature ranges from ?12°C to ?4°C (10°F to 25°F) depending on elevation and latitude. The island tends to see isolated snowstorms that develop long-lasting snowbanks, in contrast to the constant flurries seen in the Hokuriku region. During the winter, passage through the Sea of Okhotsk is often complicated by large ice floes broken loose from the Kamchatka Peninsula. Combined with high winds that occur during winter, this brings air travel and maritime activity almost to a halt on the northern coast of Hokkaid?Aside from numerous earthquakes, the following volcanoes are still considered active last eruption in 2001. · Mount Koma · Mount Usu and Showashinzan · Mount Tarumae · Mount Tokachi · Mount Meakan An earthquake of magnitude 8.0 struck near the island on 2003-09-25 at 19:50:07 (UTC). In 1993, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 generated a tsunami which devastated Okushiri, killing 202 If the monster originated in japan,IF being the keyword here, then the path it would have to travel to get to New York is as follows. Start-Heads up to the Bering Strait to to the Beaufont Sea through the Viscant Melville Sound, down to Lancaster Sound, countinuing to the Fury and Hecia Strait to the Foxe Basin through the Hudson Strait, through the Gulf of Boathia to the Labrador Sea down the North Atlantic Ocean to New York ity. So there you have it you decide if the monster would/could do that to get to New York. That is all i have at this moment regarding Hokkaid? Island. So Horsemen do you think it could be awakened by an earthquake or volcanic eruption? Mabye the slusho people mined to deep in the sea and caused the earth to react...but this is all speculation and what i had decided to serch on today. If this does not hold any water or we think it improbibale then at least we can dismise that Hokkaido has to much to do with the monster...unless i missed somthing. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Ripper
    Sorry about that my computer went fuckin crazy on me just look at the first one.
  • Cowpattybill
    I read in a post somewhere that the picture on the website of the 2 girls looking up in horror is actually the same girl with her face photshopped in half. I didn't believe this so I took the photo (I don't have any nifty tools like photoshop so I used Microsoft Paint) and did a screen print, pasted it into Paint and copy pasted the image into one face and I gotta say, it looks like is certainly does appear to be the same girl. Particulary the teeth visible in the mouth. Isn't that odd? I wonder if any of the other pictures do that.
  • Cowpattybill
  • H.P.
    I think it looks like Lisa Bonet or even Shannyn Sossamon.
  • H.P.
    Holy shit Ripper your post came out of nowhere. WE FUCKING GOT SOMETHING HERE HORSEMEN!!!!!!!!!
  • geezer
    the pic of the girl you put together cowpattybill looks like a still frame of the girl at 1:29, just a diff angle
  • Cowpattybill
    I agree with you geezer. It is the same girl. I was thinking about that already and had concluded that they are the same. Maybe the picture was taken at the same time as that point in the trailer but in the picture it looks like she had been crying (her eyeliner or eyeshadow or whatever is smudged).
  • Phenox1707
    Okay, I'm getting a bit caught up here. Ripper may be onto something, but I can't tell at the moment. First, I would like to know exactally how it can be proven that the Slusho people have to do with the waking of the monster. I'm not saying it can't happen, but I'm not sure how it possibly could. I'd also like to know if it has been proven that Slusho is related to the movie. Again, I'm not too sure myself, and this information would be greatly appreciated. Second, Can anyone, most likely Ripper, create some sort of diagram on that path? It would help us all greatly if we could get a visual. Thank you. Phenox1707 -The Four Horsemen-
  • geezer
    this is gonna sound extremly retarted but... if you take h.p lovercraft's name and mix it around, you can get two of the 4 production names for 1-18-08. the first one is clover, as in "cloverfield" and the other one is craft, and if you replace the c in craft with a k, you get kraft, as in kraft CHEESE. and cheese is a production name found on a cloverfield set a few weeks ago http://bp0.blogger.com/_wvoLtwni0kc/RroAuNKIEJI/AAAAAAAAKbg/ehUfO8Fl-94/s1600-h/08_jjabramsending_zoom.jpg
  • H.P.
    Yeah geezer I actually already found that connection, but thought I was the only one who noticed. As far as a Cthulhu/lovecraft connection, I think it's just the idea that the monster is alien and sleeps at the bottom of the ocean. Phenox SLUSHO IS PEOPLE brotha. Also the whole am I a whale buisness on slusho I think is trying to say the monster is part mammal and not a fish. Sorry phenox this is all I'm running off. Have you checked out the map of Hokkaido it is possibly the profile of the monster. You can even make out the fin the frog like legs the wings and the horsehead. It's very fucking strange and I'm getting creeped the fuck out. Just refer to horsemen post#624 and#642 or just wiki Hokkaido. Also have you made your own flavor with the robots yet. Check out the store option. Watch closely as the charcters model t shirts and hats. Zoom in on the monkey's shit and.............What the fuck, theres a tail behind the slusho cup. Possibly another clue as to what else this fucking thing is, but one thing is for sure this thing is one crazy hybrid. -The Four Horsemen-
  • geezer
    oh ok, good, its not that retarted soundin' after all. and did you get to see the newest set videos?
  • H.P.
    which videos geezer. I don't watch much you tube.
  • geezer
    nooneimportant77 has a new videe of the set on youtube, it shows rob (bloody and bruised) and his girlfriend lily hiding under an overpass in central park while bricks and other debris start to fall on them and they're saying their lines, and nooneimportant stated that he thinks he heard rob say "there's one up there" and if hes correct it could mean that there is more than one monster. also in the video you can see that all of the cameramen have standard pro cameras instead of consumer cams or any other type of regular cam corders. which made me think of a new diagnosis. (diagnosis>>)the movie starts off with rob and lily running in panic to find a place to hide, they find the overpass and sit for a while and say their lines while the bricks fall etc. and then the overpass collapses and kills them. and the next scene is in the morning when the soildiers are searching for survivors and bodies etc. and thats when one of the soldiers finds the camera and then the rest of the movie picks up there. but i dont know, what do you think?
  • nightowl
    OK...I have been silent for the past several days or so and I have been sitting back and digesting everyone's thoughts and ideas. Some of you get really pissy with other's comments if it isn't geared towards something you think this movie may be or if it had already been posted or if you think the idea is stupid etc etc...well, this is what I think- I think everyone has the right to their own thoughts and opinions and investigations into what this movie is and what the monster may be, the title, who's playing in it, etc etc etc...and really, nobody knows shit at this point so we should all really take every single idea into account and never discount anything. Why tell someone they are full of shit for saying what they think something could be when really, none of us know anything for a 100% fact. The way I see it, anyone claiming to know an insider and just spouting things very well could be misguiding the crowd on purpose or just stating things to gain attention, exposure, mess with people etc etc etc. Chances are this, if this person says they know information because they know an insider but then they can't say anything becasue they'll get in trouble, then it's BS. Becasue being an Independent filmmaker myself, I know of these contracts that they make you sign and these companies have complete right to sue the living shit out of you if you say a damn thing...so really, do you think someone really would risk getting sued up the ass by telling a friend what they know so their frind can come on a message board and spout off about knowing info?? Cmon guys...if anything, this person is part of the whole gameplan and they are either doing two things....giving us all just a few clues to add to our investigative fuel, or they are completely tossing a wrench into the system.....so you can't automatically believe all this stuff. FNORD people, FNORD...I explained this in an earlier post.....Don't be a robot...especially a BAD ROBOT..hahhaa.. and or media zombie if you will, and instantly believe something just because you saw it on YOUTUBE, read it message from someone that claims they know an insider etc etc...we have to think outside of the box everyone...look elsewhere and the clues will start to show up. And we have to work together on this...and not against eachother.....consider it just like the movie will most likely play out....the people that survive will be the people that think on their feet, band together and help on e another, not the people that look out for themselves, talk shit about everyone else and instantly dog on people for sharing their ideas. Those people ultimately don't make it far in the real world anyhow, and they most likely wouldn't make it in the movie...so let's work toegther on this and figure the damn thing out. I really believe that each person has contributed valid arguments in certain things that may be true of the film. But I truly feel that there are a lot of things be it websites, messages from certain peeps that claim things as knowing inside info, personal emails sent to us from people that claim they know things...that are purposely meant to mislead us...to throw us far off the breadcrumb trail because if all of us could easily figure this out and everyone knew every exact detail about the movie....what's the fucking point of watching it? Where's the mystery and fun of it? There wouldn't be any so chances are, we will be able to figure some things out but there will be much that we will never ever find out...until we see it on that very 1-18-08. Has anyone ever seen the 1982 movie John Carpenter's THE THING? This is very close to what's going on here on this message board. In the movie, they are in Antarctica and this THING shows up and it's able to completely replicate all living things be it a human, dog etc and as time goes on, this THING starts to replicate the crew...and before you know it, nobody knows who's real and nobody trusts anyone and they are all out there in the middle of fucking freezing nowhere and they are all basically fucked for lack of a better word. Nobody believe's anyone else or has trust in anything...becasue they may be one of those THINGS completely replicating whoever and purposely misguiding all of them to kill them, keep it's very life in survival and hoping to make it to some type of mainland to ensure that it can keep replicating everything in it's path to take over earth and survive......so really, who's to say that I really know anything at all...and I'm not someone that is working on this...or know someone that is working on it etc etc...so really guys...we need to stick together and help eachother out.... I'm trying to think of this thing in a more REAL and LOGISTICAL way. It's just my approach. I obviously know that such a monster/creature/alien etc etc is not real but there could be tons of real and logistical ways that this thing is moving about and trying to complete what it's main goal is. First off, the YOUTUBE video of the guy that claims someone emailed him a bunch of clues is cool but I think it's also misleading in many ways....I think that everyone that has butted in and gave clues only gives some actual clues but also throws in some things to completely get us off our path...it's all on purpose so be very wary guys and gals. But this kid specifically mentions that someone names Desmodeus sent him the email.. If that's the case, then it's the D351 guy that I've been talking about that has some serious clues on his myspace page...from his blogs to his pictures, this guy has seome very strong ties to this film. And as a matter of fact, I've said this before and I'll say it again...this D351/Desmodeus guy very well could be JJ Abrams himself....In every one of his pics the guy is wearing a mask and you can't see his eyes either. You can't see his hair except in one picture and it's very JJ Abrams hair like. Who's to say that this isn't JJ himself?? I'd almost put money on it that it is..... So, how about this theory. With global warming really heating up the earth and the polar ice caps melting as fast as they are, maybe this beast isn't from Japan at all...but it was somehow frozen deep underneath the ice caps and with the melting and global warming, the creature/monster/alien is woken up and for some reason( unknown at the moment) it decides or ends up in NYC. But this thing could very well have been an alien that landed here centuries and centuries ago and was frozen deep in the polar ice caps. And it happens to be amphibian like so that would explain why nobody saw any type of alien arrive...because it was already here and that would explain why it's in the water becasue it's amphibious like.....like a froig or whatever....I'm telling you, check out the D351's pics and all the pics with CTHULHU with this SARGEANT FROG character is interesting. They are both in the same pic together quite a few times...so this is important. It's not saying that CTHULHU is the creature...I think it means that this thing is alien and it's creature/monster CTHULHU like in the way it may look and be terrifying and destructive and also it's amphibian FROG like so it can swim and come out of the water as well..... And my thoghts on why it ripped thehead off the statue of liberty is simply this. It is this huge entity...huge creature/monster/alien and it comes across something that's equally it's size or comparable......and it sees the Statue of Liberty as a challenge. So it thinks that the Statue of Liberty poses a threat and decides to attack it, fight it etc etc....so this thing has animal instincts perhaps...because anything animal like would most likely do the same thing...either fight it or run away from it. And it obviously tears Liberty's head off so it most likely felt it beat or killed or won this battle or rid itself of this possible threat. If it didn't look at it as a threat, then don't you think it would've just completely demolished the whole damn statue from head to toe? So maybe this thing isn't just about destruction perhaps...but definitely after something specific? I don't know what of course but let's work on some of this...So, if this thing has offspring or eggs or whatever the hell could run around and attack us humans, there might be a great chance that that's how most humans will end up....headless. These are just guesses of course but educated ones..... And I'll stick to what I think the title is...and my educated guess behind it is this- it's called DYSTOPIA......it's got a certain ring to it....DYSTOPIA...DYSTOPIA....DYSTOPIA...... I think that may be it for now...If I missed something or come up with anything else then I'll be sure to post it.....thanks everyone!

  • nightowl
    Oh and a few other quick things I just thought of or missed.... The Staue of Liberty could easily have just been left alone, which really makes me think this thing looked at the huge Statue of Liberty as some sort of threat......and the fact it tore the head off...that makes me think something as well..... Maybe this thing tears the heads off of us humans and that's how it plants it's eggs.....inside our bodies and they become us perhaps? SLUSHO is people? Sort of like a replicating THE THING movie theme here perhaps....and the SLUSHO is the eggs maybe? And why would this thing pick NYC perhaps? If it is underwater and it is in the polar icecaps or awakend somehow from a deep cold underwater sleep...why pick NYC? Why would it travell from Japan to NYC? It could easily pick a closer region.....it may have been underneath NYC the whole damn time? or close to it perhaps? Maybe it's attracted to the most light....like a BUG would be....or noise perhaps? NYC at night is really fucking noisy...and it's really fucking noisy during the day or really fucking noisy period....and maybe it was following the most noise from underneath and it happened to be NYC making the most racjet? and it's very very lit up....if this thing has any type of bug characteristics, it may be attracted to all the light.... Just a few more thoughts for everyone.....

    amen nightowl. but what i heard about the monster ( which is probably not true) is that the monster will supposedly wake up from a "deep sleep" and if thats the case, then the monster is probably just horrified of the drastic changes in new york. like say he's been in his trance for millions or billions of years and he's just now awakeing to these giant buildings and statues and millions of other unknown creatures running all over the ground, so in reaction to this (like you stated) he feels like he needs to defend his self or get rid of the things that he feels threatend by

    ok heres some good stuff i found not 100% sure if its real but its well worth checkin it out SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERTTTTT came home to check my email this evening and I got this email from some one who "says" they've worked on the 1-18-08 set and overheard dialogue. Who knows if this is bogus or what, but here's her copied email below. What do you make of it: Dear Brad, My name is Betty Barsuglia. I was working in the make-up department for 1-18-08. i say was because apparently I was thought to disobey my "leaking" release and after tonight have been suspended from being on set when actual shooting is occurring. I am in a bit of rage right now. I was on set without identification tonight near central park south. This is where they were shooting..and was suspended. I am also a huge fan of this movie and although I work on it they they don't tell crap to anybody. I am recently getting started in the business and was happy to get the job. Tonight though I was lucky enough to hear dialogue and although i have been on set 2 times before the dialogue was rather useless. Last time I brought my recorder and thats why i think this time they figured i was tattling. Well now I am. you can take this info however you'd like but below is dialogue from 1-18-08 and it seems very crucial to the plot. I am still amazed but also still pissed. i will probably regret this in the morning. Hope this helps. This is what I recorded tonight at round 11:00pm. Rob: Look it is not the simple.Look this guy who was handling the American account,the Englishmen Algar Macy for Mr. Akira Masa. supposedly went on some sort of expedition to find a way to produce it here. Like some hands on shit to make it nice and catchy. And after 2 days sailing out they didn't hear from him. Nothing. They sent coast guard and these stupid assholes found nothing. Jason: Fuck that man what does that have to do with anything? Rob: Cause he didn't disappear Jason. They found the boat on the coast of Hangzhou in China with claw marks in it. Fucking claw marks. And and and...thats why I was so late to the party tonight. They told me a few days ago he was fine and today- Beth: Today what?! -they begin to push argue and almost fight Rob: Stopppp let me finish! Today I met with Mr. Masa. He told me it was this thing. they've looked into it for years. Supposedly it was this squid, giant squid that was larger than anything they've seen. They detected it on radar in england, and most recently in the Bering sea, and here, everywhere, but people kept pushing this thing off. I didn't really understand him but it's something with the genes.Its- Jason: Its what, What Robby. Fucking Godzilla. Sum nuclear lizard-squid that killed Jamie. Rob: No its worse than that. Has something to do with metagenomics and microbial organisms. Instead of separating these strains of bacteria linked to these hosts. Because the pressure was so intense, that of like some fucking black hole. So it linked to these giant squids causing mutations and refinements in DNA amplifications. Jason: This thing looks nothing like some big fucking squid. Those tentacles ripped into that building like it was some fucking pudding pop, besides that though- Rob: I know. The claws, The head. It especially wasn't dumb.Thats why I think it hosted on something else. Maybe binded with something that we thought was extinct or just something else. Before I left he let me know that all that Bermuda Triangle shit. Everything you've read about, Leviathan, Kraken, Atlantis, even that book we read in Mrs. Harper's class in high school. All that shit was because of this thing. Its the reasons all these people disappeared. Its the reason all around the world its formed myths about the different events that couldn't be explained. I would have never believed it and now its- They cut and began to organize rubbled near the south side of the park near 59th street. so after reading that wat does it tell us??? 1. this movie is most likely R 2. Rob and who ever he is talking to knew wat was goin out at the party cuz he says up there """And and and...thats why I was so late to the party tonight. """ so this is happening after the explosion 3. its some mutaded sea animal or alein thing. also betty bersuglia is an actual make-up artist u can search on imdb for her

    Well, if the dialogue is true, the movie sounds less interesting to me. That's some complicated explaining going on there. Although, in the beginning it sort of sounded like some creature that may have been created by Slusho but then later it says it was around for centuries. Perhaps it was discovered when they found the secret Slusho ingredient. I'm not holding my breath that the dialogue is real but I see nothing to indicate that it's not. At first I thought that was a lot of script for her to memorize but then I remember she said that she recorded it. Maybe she can save the recording somewhere and link to it so we can all hear.
  • bam
    i'll ne glad if the monster has nothing to do with slusho ithink that would be kinda retarded if the monster came from drinking a slurpy drink -The Four Horsemen-
  • geezer
    your pretty lucky bam, i wish i would get an email from a member of the 1-18-09 crew =( lol
  • Cowpattybill
    I had another theory I wanted to throw in the pond and see if it floats. There has been discussion in various places as to whether there is 1 or more monsters/creatures. I read somewhere that someone overheard dialogue during the filming of a scene in a park where a guy and girl are huddled down and debris is falling on their heads. The person thought he/she heard one of them say something like "I think there's one up there". This seem to indicate there might be more than one creature. My theory is that perhaps it is a pregnant female monster and once in the city gives birth to baby monsters that then tear up the city looking for food, either human or otherwise.
  • Smart
    alright thats good thinking cowpattybill but do u really think that a baby monster would be able to tear off the head of the statue of liberty?
  • Smart
    O one more thing remember I saw it its alive its huge? ITS HUGE PEOPLE!!!!!!!
  • geezer
    we're pretty sure that the main monster (the mother if she is pregnant) tore off the head of lady librety smart
  • smart
    All im saying is that i doubt theirs gonna be babies i mean come on if they had babies it would be exactly like the godzilla movie!
  • geezer
    yea, it would, but jj abrams DID say that we need our own godzilla. which could mean babies, sequals, monster enemies, the whole 9 yards
  • Cowpattybill
    Wow, there sure are alot of people doing an awful lot of researching, thinking, deciphering, brainstorming etc because of this movie. Alot of creative juices are flowing. If all this collective brain power was concentrated on world issues we would have resolved world hunger and be well on our way to tackling global warming by now. Amazing.
  • nightowl
    Whoever this matt dude is, you can just take your negativity and scram bud. All of us together will figure this thing out eventually..... And this Betty Barsuglia, yes, she very well may be on the set or a makeup artist but with the 'leaking' release contract she talks about, I highly doubt she would just talk about it like this especially after she just got shit canned for possible leaking. Trust me, this is a huge lawsuit and if she was really dumb enough to post this and attach her name on it(which it looks like she very well may be that dumb) then that's a nail in the coffin for sure. But, who's to say she's not fibbing a little. I really think that they have this whole marketing/advertising campaign figured out to the T. That team in conjunction with JJ Abrams is monitoring us and watching all of us to see how far we are getting.....and then someone happens to just email one of us with some more clues to either screw us up or help us. I really think that this Betty girl did not get shit canned but rather, she was told to send an email out to one of us...that's my thoughts on that.
  • smart
    thats a good point but think of it do u really think that a bunch of people would want to see a movie following up godzilla?
  • Matt
    Actually, I think I'll stay. It's pretty hilarious to see the self-proclaimed 4 horsemen of in the same boat as the rest of us, shut everyone's theories down like they have any idea what this movie is outside of what all the rest of us have seen. Keep telling yourself that all of you will figure this out before they actually tell us what to figure out. Sure, maybe I'm a pessimist, but the rest of you are way too optimistic. What they want us to figure out, we will figure out...when they tell us. Thinking that any one of you is going to find some secret site that will give you any information beyond that is simply retarded. So thanks "bud".
  • Iknowwhatitis
    If you google "A Beast from 20,000 fathoms" you will see that is remarkably similar to this unnamed movie. I believe Abrams got his idea from watching this 1953 classic film...but I could be wrong.
  • Cowpattybill
    I believe you are likely right Matt. Personally, I would like to think that a group of us, putting our heads together, might be smarter than JJ and his group. He gives us a puzzle to figure out and drops a few bread crumbs here and there to help or mislead us. We take those crumbs and work with them and at the same time look for other nuggets of food (information) that he didn't know he dropped. Therby turning a light snack from jj into a full course meal at his expense. Sorry, I'm into metaphors today.
  • geezer
    you make tupac look like a 3rd grade teacher cowpattbill, bravo on that one
  • bam
    iknowwhatitis ya maybe jj got insperation from it but thats also how godzilla got started from that movie. and that email i posted it WASNT emailed to me i said its something I FOUND and im not saying i think its true or false i was simply just posting it for every one els to see what they think about it.
  • Matt
    No apologies...I'm a fan of the metaphors. As a writer, I can say that while as a group we may be smarter than JJ and his group and can probably say that a few of us (yes, I'm including you 4 horsemen) are probably smarter than them individually. That is evident from all of the deeply complex theories that are appearing on this board. The problem is that brains has nothing to do with it. Take the book that I'm working on now. If I wanted to drop some hints about it, I could and give people something to chew on (now I'm getting hungry) until it is actually published, but unless I'm a lousy drunk or have some kind of mental disorder, there is a slim chance that I will say something that gives the whole story away. It's the same way with this movie. We (officially) have a trailer, a website with pictures of people first at a party and then in panic, and possibly some My Space pages that would only give us insight into the characters and not the monster plot. While interesting, it doesn't matter how many times we look at it. We're just not going to be able to stumble across the creative thinking of the director, writers, and producers. We may get a few pieces right here and there, which we still won't find out until we see the movie, but I'd say there is slim to no chance that we'll be celebrating figuring the whole thing out on our own. Hell, it was said in an interview that one of the biggest clues is the monster's roar and we haven't even nailed that one down yet. I'll agree that the hunt is a good way to occupy our time, though I suck at these things (eg. The Lost Experience). It just aggravates me when instead of a theories board this turns into a "this group is on top of it and the rest of you are dumbasses" board, when in actuality we all have the exact same information and can only theorize based on that. So until the movie is out or JJ gives up and just tells us the whole thing, then Grasshopper poster, squid poster, Cthulu poster(s), and Lost poster(s) all have valid points.
  • Smart
    I want to let u know about that dialogue fits perfect description for CTHULHU but dont jump all over me for saying it i was just tellin u it fits the description of it!
  • Ripper
    Matt, I belive that you must be a negitive person because you feel excluded from the circle and you have nothing to contribute, so you say mean things to get attintion. Why don't you try to help insted of cause problems by insulting The Four Horsemen, we call our selfs that because we have been on here figuring it out since the beggining and we dive deep into info and serch relentlessly to find awnsers. We don't just shut everyone down we welcome real clues and others that are intersted in figuring this out. Lately every person on this website that is really trying to crack this is going into overdrive and pulling up lots of good stuff so keep it up we can beat this puzzle.Cowpattybull awsome metaphors like the info to. Nightowl, geezer..killin keep that shit commin. Iknowwhatis i checked that out throught another post link on this site and i came to the same conclusion as bam. It may have been the jump off point for the moive i belive that. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Howard Phillips
    Matt, your a smart guy. I think there is a misunderstanding of the Horsemen however. We are not bullies we are not big shots, but I will tell you that we do come up with in depth theories based on valid clues. I personally do not run off you tube or any other misleading sites. I stick to the official stuff like slusho. Stuff JJ himself has admitted is actual sites. I do believe he hired people to mislead us in very complex ways. This is just the beginning. I love a mystery and that's why I'm here. I created the Horsemen based off who I thought was doing the best job in here at an early stage in the game. We are the true fanatics of cloverfield, and I just felt we were nailing the clues in a way that gets other people in here thinking. I respect everyones theories aside from the few really wasteful comments. All I can say in closing is that I just got this gut feeling about the island of Hokkaido and I'm not budging on my current theory, bam I know you hate the slusho idea but you gotta admit it is pretty fucking original. -The 4 Horsemen-

    Bam, That letter sounded pretty good if its true than that strengthins my thoughts that he traveled through the waterways i put in order (post #642). Matt i can see the way you think it is true yes. I to am a writer and the ideas have to come from somewhere because you and i both know unless you use the space alien excuess you have to come up with a place of origin and a travel path for the monster to reach New York or it will be picked apart by eveyone. You have to make your reasons solid...or at least belivable. There is a way to beat this and to figure out what the monster is...this i belive because i belive in all the minds at work here. I respect your thoughts and opinons, help us figure this out and we will know if your completly right or not.

  • Cowpattybill
    In scanning other message boards I found an interesting entry on July 11th. I don't remember where it was though: " What's up with Rob? by Rosencrantz Guildenstern (glass_radical) at July 11th, 2007 (02:19 am) Alot of people over at Unfiction have been taking about the way Rob acts in the trailer. And its not without speculation, Rob does kinda act (IMO) like he has a big secret, or that something he's been dreading is actually happening. Also, there is a girl, not sure which one, that acts seemingly like Rob, less "WTF" and more "Uh-Oh". My questions also apply to the cameraman, who says nary a word during the incident. Is this Slusho related? Why is he going to Japan? Why does he act so paranoid while everyone else is seemingly in "WHA?" mode? Why isn't the camera man freaked as well? Why am I still awake, talking about this? " This seems to jive with the dialogue email from Betty Barsuglia (post 663 above). Rob seems to have some knowlege of whatever this is before he gets to the party. When the chaos goes down he acts strangely compared to others around him because he already knows something. It fits!!
  • Matt
    Ripper, you are the puzzle master. You cracked my enigma like an egg shell and it only took one post. You are absolutely right that I feel excluded from a group of people that have contributed absolutely nothing substantial beyond what JJ and company gave us directly. Oh, what? You found a wikipedia entry for an island mentioned on the slusho site? And it gave you a bunch of volcano names and climate information? Awesome!! Now we know that the monster came from somewhere and felt some kind of temperature. But hold on a sec...I think you're really onto something with the possible route the monster takes to New York. It really sheds a spotlight on the whole plot. Would the monster go this way? Phenomenal question!! We figure that out and we can blow this whole thing right open! For the record, I was trying to help, by letting you know that this game is never going to provide the level of satisfaction that you are expecting from it. Did you play the Lost Experience last year or hear about it at least? Same type of scheme and it ended in the most unsatisfying way possible, by revealing absolutely nothing pivotal. The people involved with this movie know that the best selling point they have is the mystery behind it and they plan on keeping it that way until it is released. So all of the clues are going to be red herrings, giving something trivial that does not explain the whole, until they give it up or someone leaks the information. In other words, none of us are right. Oh, and as for "We don't just shut everyone down we welcome real clues and others that are intersted in figuring this out." Here are some direct quotes: "Tell me how your investigating can even hold a candle to the Horsemen, and I wont give you shit." -HP "Holy Shit I leave for two days and i come back to a cow pasture…full of bullshit." -Ripper "I mean it's ok to joke and say it's shit like captain planet or denver the last dinosaur, but I hate these dead serious chumps who make stupid remarks." -HP "I think Godzilla should be in the 4 horsemen, because he's definitely in the movie." -Matt "Whoever this matt dude is, you can just take your negativity and scram bud." -nightowl Sounds like joking is no longer allowed. Name yourselves whatever you want, but you don't own this message board. If someone wants to say it is Voltron, they have every right to, regardless of how unlikely that is.
  • geezer
    just in case anybody was thinking about playing the audio from the trailer backward, dont waste your time, i found nothing, except for the fact that the roar in reverse sounds like a hippo in heat
  • nightowl
    Cowpatty, very valid points and I want to discuss this more. I have been thinking more and more about exactly what you just mentioned. And it makes me think that there is sort of THE THING type of replicating us going on. This is all just speculating and guessing but what if some of the people weren't human? rather, alien/creature/monster....in a human body? just a thought..... And Matt, good posts man. Be pessimistic if you have to...hahaha...someone's gotta oppose all of us optimistic folks! haha..... I just thought you were trying to be a jerk but you're not. I apologize. And I agree with the fact that we very well might not ever figure too many things out at all...but it's fun to atleast try and we are all still very interested and continue to spread the word......and yeah, they won't ever give everything out or the actual title or alien/creature/beast cuz if they did...that ends all of our investigastions and curiosities and then possibly even our trips to the theaters. So that would never happen.....but who's to say that a lot of our educated guesses and theories won't be right? That's wat's fun about this....to see who was right or almost right and who was way off etc etc....so let's keep all our minds on this and keep it up!!!! The lone horsemen that's lost and can't find the other four...hahahah
  • nightowl
    Oh and Matt- the reason why I said scram bud is becasue I thought you just happened to pop in here and read a few posts and then just basically tell us to F ourselves becasue we're idiots, geeks, morons etc etc and that was all you were trying to do.....instigate, just spout off some random vulgar crap and then we'd never here from you again.....that's why I mentioned that. No biggie man.....
  • Matt
    H.P., I understand you and the Horsemen line of thinking, I just feel that this all seems too familiar to actually be leading to the place you guys want it to. Take for example the Slusho site. On Lost, a brand of candy bar appeared called Apollo candy bars and this whole corporate website was created with a whole mysterious back story of the company, a store, etc. and it ended up being completely inconsequential to the Lost storyline. It was the quintessential red herring. In my opinion, it's a universe establishing device for the (irritatingly unnamed) movie. I don't know if any of you read Stephen King (with a Lovecraft (i.e. horror) background, I'm sure you have), but The Dark Tower comes to mind where certain events or people are referenced just to let the audience know that this is happening in the same world that this other thing happened. If this is the same, then the whole purpose of the Slusho t-shirt and website is to clue the audience in that this is happening in the same world that Alias occurs in and, if that, then most likely Lost. Does that mean that it will have anything further to do with either of these? Maybe, but if it does it will be in a wink wink sort of way, as I mentioned in an earlier post. Something the Lost or Alias people could tie to their shows, but would not take away from anyone else's enjoyment of the movie. I think our back and forth got out of hand, but nightowl's personal jab at a joking comment that I made earlier got me a little irate. I'd like to wipe the slate clean with you guys and, to take Ripper up on his invitation, if I have anything at all to contribute, I'll try to do so, though as I said I'm not too good at these exhaustive internet searches and am working hard on this book so time is not a real luxury of mine (though when I'm slacking at the paying job I can always post these long diatribes).

  • nightowl
    Matt- Not a problem dude...I took it as you were just trying to be a jerk....but you weren't. I've been trying to say all along that all of us should embrace everyone's ideas and thoughts.....so I think between you and I, it was a miscommunication and misunderstanding... and that's all...no big deal....I do not claim to own any message boards or anything to that matter....just trying to throw in some educated guesses and thoughts and ideas, theories etc etc...and when I so call 'claim' to know the title which I have said it's DYSTOPIA......it's obviously just my educated guess on it and not at all 100% truth.....I'm just trying to have fun with this..... And Cowpattybill- Oh no offense taken at all...I was just throwing that out there.....with some of this 'people not acting like themselves' etc etc.....it just seemed that maybe they really aren't themselves, but something else. but I see where you're coming from......it's as if they may know something that the others don't....or dread something that's happening....I was just giving it a different angle......and you are free to embrace it or let it go!!!

    Matt, i dident come here to argue with you i had enough of that on youtube. Yes i realive that we will not know everything about tis moive and i dont want to cause then the moive would suck but i like the mystry and i like to work with others to collabertate ideas to figure out somthing that no one else has. I shut down only Debunked theroys that are so mononinus and overused that they just fill this page with garbage. Look we have wasted a day bickering and found out nothing you have your thoughts and i have mine if you still dislike me and the horsemen there is nothing anyone can say that will change that. If you think its a waste of time why read it. Your thoughs have been heard and our remarkes said lets move past this.
  • nightowl
    Just my opinion- I visited the slusho site maybe three times and never went back and probably won't. I just don't see it as very helpful. It's sorta what Matt said....it's just a small backstory line to tell you a few things but it's basically not that big of a deal to the major big picture...... and JJ....that is fucking comedy....hahahahha!!!

    OK...I just went to Jamie Lascano's myspace page and what's odd is that her friend count slowly diminishes every few days. And she doesn't accept any friends requests. And she just posted some new comments. Well, one of these kids that left a comment has some very odd pictures.....check them out- http://www.myspace.com/illchangeitlater look at the EGG sign picture? All the monster/creature/alien egg talk....and then this pic....anything strike you weird? Also, why does he say I'm not drinking something? such an odd thing to say...although he does have a drink in his hand in two other pics but why would you just randomly say this? Perhaps it's an inside joke with friends.... Also, what about his very lasy pic...where a bunch of people are commenting on how they aren't sure if it's him.....it doesn't seem like him....etc etc......just sort of weird being that Cowpatty and I both have just talked about certain issues such as this...how ROB and the other girl are not acting like themselves, seem to possibly dread what's happening or may know something that the others don't...and then my theory of what if they are replicating us and we aren't who we appear to be? ....just some thoughts.... These pages and comments are there for a reason....to either guide us along or misguide us....

    No problem, Ripper. The same thing happened to me with the last long argumentative post (including quotes!). As soon as I sent it, I saw your last one and HP's, both burying the guantlet. I think we're all caught up now, so hopefully this business is done and we can return to the message board.

  • http://www.slusho.jp H.P.
    Sorry JJ fakebrams, but the fact is that I will see this movie before you. All this crap going on with matt has got me really disenchanted. You still have not brought up any fucking theories in here. Why are you even here. You contribute nothing. I'm done. In closing I will say this. I believe that Jason is a more significant character than Rob, and this is why. Jason went to Japan and on his travels he visited the slusho headquarters. Jason met some weird town folk and heard of the mythos of the monster which may very well be sleeping under the island of Hokkaido, the island itself could have fell to earth millions of years ago. If you go on slusho one of the quotes in the happy talk section says something about going to Hokkaido to sample a new flavor I believe this new flavor just happened to come out while Jason was in Japan. Basically the he hears a rumor that when people when searching for the ingredient for the new flavor they acidentally woke up the monster. So Jason whith as this knowledge comes back home to New York and tells Rob about everything. I also believe that while Jason was in Japan this monster started actually showing up on radar and sending people into panic. Rob gets obsessed with Jason's story and ultimately decides to go to Japan. The night Rob is getting ready to go to Japan (who knows maybe he is a marine biologist and is so obsessed he wants to move there) the ROAR happens and based on Jason's story Rob gets very concerned, but look at the guy watching the news broadcast he turns away and also looks concerned. I believe that to be Jason. Also I still believe the island itself is a clue to what the monster looks like. I don't know about you guys, but if I saw a horse, whale, frog, birdlike alien creature 100 times bigger than the statue of liberty coming at me I would be scared out of my body. Also just before the head gets thrown you can kinda make out a Horses snout. Use your imagination. -The Four Horsemen-

    That's funny! You said "bury the guantlet". Isn't it "bury the hatchet"? And something like "raise the guantlet", or "pass the guantlet"? Or is it "pass the torch"? Now I'm confused.

    Actully yes JJ i do have somthing else to throw at you "Gotta catch'em all"...O ya i went there.

    Another misguided theory that you feel sooo very confident about H.P. You're good at that. Had anyone else theorized and commented that I was matt you would have told them that they were wrong and that they shouldnt waste your brainspace with their undignified remarks. Does anyone else feel as if this "H.P." has an undeserved feeling of seniority over everyone else on this blogspot?

    OK...OK...now this is getting ridiculous. First it's everyone bashing eachother, then it's everyone sucking eachother's dicks and now it's more bashing......I don't know about you guys but if you want to sit in here and bash eachother the whole time then so be it.....In the meantime, I'm gonna try to keep posting things that are related to this movie, cultivate more ideas, thoughts and theories and share them with whomever would like to read them and expand on them.....

    At least I'm putting a theory up Fakebrams. Let's get something straight. If I come across as high and mighty then I am sorry. Just get over The Horsemen already. You haven't said one constructive thing in here. If you pay attention I do apologize to people I rip on. Also what's with the sexist and racially geared comments. The Horsemen are way better than that my friend. I just don't understand why I get singled out for using originality on my theories, maybe I could care less what abrams comes up with ever think of that. I am just telling people what I would like to see happen. Tell you what Matt and fakebrams let's just end this if you plan on staying. I think everyone can agree on that resolution. -The Four Horsemen- Wooooooooo!!!!
  • J J Abrams
    sexist? racially geared? what the hell are you talking about? You're reaching a little bit there arent you H.P. and the reason i'm picking on you is that i think you're a pussy.

    If the monster is deep under the sea then obviouslly its cold weel the path i had ploted earlyer throught the sea to New York most of that is frozen all summer long so if the monster slowl starts to move toward the atlantic not new york specificly then the cod enviroment would suit him very well. I belive that the monster stays this course because New york is the fist Major population city it would come across and it could make it courious and then scared and start to kill everything in its path.

  • H.P.
    What if it was an alien that fell to earth clinging onto a chunk of it's destroyed planet and he landed in the ocean. This chunk of planet could be the secret ingredient. Demand for the new slusho flavor causes the greedy company to continue mining for the ingredient. Something terribly wrong happens when they drill too deep and awaken the monster. Ultimately only this slusho(keep in mind the monster is supposedly super intelligent much like Cthulhu) pisses him off because it contains something that belongs to him which is why he goes after people who drink it. How does he know who drinks it. Well if you know anything about Cthulhu (and I think this monster could be based on the same concept) then you know that Cthulhu can communicate with all living things at once. Now I'm not saying the monster will straight up look like all the animals but rather have certain attributes of the horse, frog, bird,whale and If it is part whale then that means it's a mammal which could mean it has humanoid features as well. I remember one of the kid characters on the slusho site saying "Am I a Whale" If you guys are digging my theory then let me know. -The Four Horsemen-
  • geezer
    i really dig your theory h.p, and you might just be on to somethin, because on one of the myspace's that nightowl found which is http://www.myspace.com/demodeus he has a pic of cthulhu, and it says "from the heavens came the god of the sea" and this guy is supposedly connected to the other charecters' myspaces.

    yea, i really do. like night owl had mentioned a while back, his hair is styled like just like abrams hair is. and it would make sense why he has the mask on, also, i looked up arethusa (the girl that commented desmodeus cthulhu pic) and arethusa is the name of a large meteor that was discovered in 98' which would also go with yout theory of a chunk of a planet hitting earth

    Do you think it is Abrams? -The Four Horsemen-
  • Matt
    Hold up, HP. To start off with, why would I, after posting several times under my own name, decide to start posting under "JJ Abrams"? Adding to that, why would I make peace under one name and keep antagonizing under a different name? Also, assuming you thought we were the same person on post 707, I posted my original theory in mid-July (post 191), so maybe you should take your own advice and read all of the posts before making your own. Granted, I don't expect any of you to consider my theory possible, but I haven't completely abandoned it. Just because I don't feel like trying to figure out every second of the movie before it comes out, doesn't mean I haven't contributed. Now, if we can move pass this, I'm done arguing.
  • Matt
    That is an extremely elaborate theory, HP (post 724), but I have my reservations that it could be well explained in a movie set up the way this one is (so far) supposed to be. Unless a character just tells all of that flat out, which could end up being ridiculous. I am slowly turning into the camp where Rob and at least a couple of his friends know what is happening (originally thought it was just shock, which is understandable in the situation), but knowing something of that magnitude? It just seems a little much to me. Not saying it's impossible though. Hell, if it doesn't happen, you can write that one yourself.
  • Cowpattybill
    Just so we know what each person is thinking I suggest we throw in what we have created in our minds as the possible plot of the movie. I'd like to know where each person is going with the information (or lack of) that we have. Okay, I'll go first. I think it is some kind of giant monster that comes from the ocean. It has something to do with Slusho, whether it was some kind of mutation from the secret ingredient, or whether it was awakened by those looking for the secret ingredient. For some reason it comes to New York and wreaks some havoc. I think Rob and maybe 1 or 2 others know about this creature and that is why they act differently than the others when it attacks (in the trailer). I think Rob works for Slusho and this may be why he is moving to Japan. I think many people die, there is much destruction, the military is involved. I think the creature lives but goes back to where it came from. Another idea I like but have very little info to support it is that the monster might be pregnant upon entering NYC, and gives birth to a bunch of little monsters that also tear up the city. A new idea I like is that this secret ingredient for slusho comes from outerspace, like a meteoroid or something. Anyone else want to throw one in?
  • Matt
    Honestly, I kind of hope that there is no backstory to the monster and, as mentioned by someone earlier (sorry, I'm not digging through the posts for it) that we only see the monster in brief glimpses. It makes for a more chilling movie, in my opinion, if you have no idea where it came from, but it just shows up, wreaks havoc and disappears without anyone knowing why or how it happened. Given that, the movie will just be carnage upon carnage and for those John Carpenter fans out there (again, not digging for the earlier Thing references) the plot is basically trying to survive the attack, the tension for the audience being that all we know is this disaster recovery group finds this camcorder and we have no idea if the people in the video will live or die. So that is my general, basic theory. Not knocking anyone else's, but I don't think Slusho is going to be pivotally involved and pray that it isn't pregnant (which I thought was probably the most ridiculous aspect of the US Godzilla movie). I do think, however, that it would be a great concept to just have the monster leave and not be destroyed, especially if there is no rhyme or reason to the attack, because that is infinitely more scary to think that there is no telling when it could happen again.

    OK, if this movie is about the island of Hokkaido coming alive, I sure hope Italy wakes up and kicks it's butt! Lighten up folks.
  • H.P.
    C'mon dude give me a break here you cant expect me to remember all 734 posts. Plus I been really wrapped up in my theory. It really haunts me. I couldn't sleep last night because of it. I have a more extensive theory, but I wanna give other people a chance to give some input. I prob should not say much more anyway. I feel like I'm just pissing people off in here when really I just wanna have fun, and It was up until yesterday. Matt I owe you an apology and yes I do remember you from early on so I know your diehard with this shit. I got an e mail from Fakebram's and he seems like a really bad dude. As bad as I am in fact, so I can't really give him shit. He is like the Horsemen's arch nemesis, but I think we all have a respect for him at least I do anyway. So Matt all bad blood drained I extend a hand of friendship. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Ripper
    OK my turn, I belive that the monster will show up and cause chaos I hope they make the monster survive and just dissaper. The only way i belive we will know the monsters backstory and how it came to New York is if we find out ourself online before and after the moive is relesed. Rob knows somthing i have a feeling the Island of hokkaido has somthing to do with the monster. I belive the Slusho people awaken it in the ocean by drilling away what may have kept him dormaite all this time. I think it is from here not an alien. Ancient yes not a mutation. I think it takes the path i suggested in the water and New York just happens to be the first major city it stummbles upon, and it is courious and scared so it does what any animal in fear does attack. -The Four Horsemen-
  • bam@bam.com
    H.P. about comment 727 i actually googled desmodeus a few days agoa nd got nothin but it says "do u mean desmodus" (just took out the e) and apparently its some type of bat i didnt think much of it tho so iddint bother posting about it. also regarding when i said somethin about the slusho thing being stupid. ur right it is original i just hope its not like idk how to put it it just seems its used to much and when seeing the video saying the monster attacks ppl who drink slusho ya original but i come on its stupid haha no offense but it kinda is but who knows will have to wait and see :D none the less thoe i think the movie will be realll good -The Four Horsemen-
  • Matt
    No, HP, I don't think you are that bad. Sometimes it's just hard to separate passion for something from stepping on people's toes. Overall, you and the other Horsemen haven't been that bad about shooting people down, but occasionally do get so fervored in your theories that your replies can come off as condescending. Through it all though, at least as I remember it, none of you have resorted to degradation or name-calling so that puts you a step above some of the others. For the record, my last post concerning "the argument" (as it will forever now be known) was not me being pissed off, but just wanting to set the record straight.
  • bam
    WOOT ok so check this out if u go to slusho.jp and go to the flavors to create ur own u see in the background a flower which im guessing is the secret ingredent to slusho that they talk about in the histoyr. so from the email thin i posted earlier i would look up hokkaido in wikipedia but i googled it this time insted an foudn out it is called "the flower continent" so y is theb oat found at hokkaido??? im guessing he was lookin for slusho secret ingredent and if ound Azalea are famous in hokkaido soo maybe try google images for Azalea and compare it to the flower on the slusho site. but wait i just read that the Japanese rose is the official flower of Hokkaido now google that flower in google images and i thinkwe found wat the scecret ingredent might be!! it kinda looks like the flower fromt he site to me -The Four Horsemen-
  • bam
    if u serch the japanese rose on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Rose it says the "hips" or w/e grow fruit or something idk check it out. so mayebd that is put into the slusho?? -The Four Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    I think all that flower might mean is that it is a space flower, perhaps maybe its a crystal of some sort and not a flower at all. This would make more sense of my mining theory. I'll admit though it does look like a flower. What type of flower glows like that though. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    Another ridiculous theory that just jumped in my head is this: What if whatever the secret Slusho ingredient is some huge rock-like thing found on the bottom of the ocean. They haul this thing back to New York to break down and use in Slusho drinks. Turns out the rock is really an egg and pissed off momma monster zips over to New York to recover the now hatched baby monster.
  • Cowpattybill
    Or multiple eggs.
  • Matt
    I apologize if this has been posted before, but I don't remember seeing it. Has anyone seen the 4 on set videos? Or heard that NY Mag published something about the movie ending? Let me know if this is old news, but it adds a lot of evidence to the post earlier about the mysterious email with dialogue from the movie.
  • Cowpattybill
    Yes, I've heard, read, and seen all of it. I have been checking out 4 or 5 other boards keeping tabs on theories and new discoveries but I only post here. I had assumed you all were doing something similar. I don't have the links but I've seen the video of Rob and a girl huddled in a tunnel in Central Park with debris falling on their heads. I've also seen the call sheet which states it is the last page and end of filming, although I would argue whether it was the actual last scene of the movie or just the last scene of the New York unit. There is some filming or some kind of work being done in LA. I've seen the videos of the NYC street set being setup with cars piled with debris and some guy pounding a huge dent in a cars hood with a sledgehammer. I've seen the (alleged) videos of a helicopter landing and a bunch of miliary guys jumping in and taking off as well as a bunch of military guys running around the set. I've seen the video of a soldier with a bandage on his head coming out of building followed by a nurse and Rob and a couple other characters hanging around. I think that's about it.
  • Ripper
    DONT READ THE NY MAG ARTICAL!!!!!!!!The call sheet they have snagged looks very real and it does show were evey shoot takes place so read it if you want but it will ruin the moive. I want to figure out what the monster is but i dont want to know the moive before it is here.The crew person who gave them that should be shot...traitor. Whats the fun in trying to figure shit out isf someone comes along and spoles the whole moive. If someone wants to read it just google NY mag cloverfeild but dont post the ending and alternet ending here please. Yes there is two possible endings no i did not read either. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Matt
    Thanks Ripper, I didn't read the article either, but saw the posting on another site that gave no details except for the location of the ending (if, as cowpattybill put it, it is the ending and not the last NY location). I don't have any interest in seeing the ending before the movie comes out either, but thought that the videos lended creedence to the email posted earlier, if the email was sent before the videos were posted, and could explain the backstory. Either way, it still leaves us in the dark except knowing that, at some point, they will be under a bridge. Thanks for the heads up of the actual spoilers though. Otherwise, I may have gotten curious and gone to look at it to see what is actually said on the call sheet.
  • J J Abrams
    Is their any chance that this could be Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan Part 2? Its about time that they made a sequel to that piece of cinematic genius.
  • JJJAckson
    the flower on the "create your own flavor" page of the Slusho site appears to me to be a lotus flower, an aquatic plant with strong symbolism both in the orient and worldwide. "Lotus flower is a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. According to one creation myth it was a giant lotus which first rose out of the watery chaos at the beginning of time. From this giant lotus the sun itself rose on the first day."
  • bam
    woah thats intresting jjjackson kinda fits wats goin on maybe a giant lotus TYPE monster??
  • Matt
    J J, imposter you may be, that is hilarious. I immediately thought of a cross between Jason Takes Manhattan and Honey I Blew Up the Kids, where a giant Jason is wreaking havoc in New York City. Actually, I could probably digest that better than Jason X.
  • J J Abrams
    Yes Matt. We must consider ALL possibilities.
  • geezer
    yea, that call sheet ruined it for me a lil bit, but i still gonna go see the movie, and here is one of my theorys. the monster used to be an ordinary sea creature, but a chemical or something that was being processed by the japanese spilled into the western coast of hokkaido (the island that one of you mentioned) and mutated all of the creatures around the western coast. most of the creatures died instantly because of the poison in the chemical and because the chemical scrambled their dna. but only 1 survived, one that wasn't at the coast when the spill accured, but he still got enough of the chemical to mutate him but not enough to kill him. and as for rob's behavior, he gets a call on his way home from a friend in japan that works at a slusho factory, which rob is supposed to be transfered to. his friend tells him about the chemical spill and how he has seen stories on the news about fishermen finding thousands of fish with partially deveoped human like heads and octopi sprouting human like legs and arms etc. and how a fisherman on the opposite side of hokkaido caught video of a blue whale getting washed up by a huge wave on the eastern hokkaido shore with a giant chunk of it's body missing, he also tell's rob that the fisherman reports that he felt a small shake in the ground and a loud groan-like sound before the huge wave washed the whale carcus onto the beach. and that would explain rob's behavior, he has what his friend has said stuck in his mind, and doesn't tell anybody else because he is not 100% sure that his friend was telling the truth, but once he hears the roar and feels the quake, he's positive that his friend wasn't lying (if you watch the trailer he acts even more suspicious after the quake and roar) so what do you think? it kinda sounds like a cheesy sci-fi channel movie, but its all i got at the moment
  • Matt
    Geezer, that's not too bad. It would explain Rob's reaction and the quick military response (the Japanese report may not have been picked up by US news, but the military would definitely know something about it).

  • Cowpattybill
    This is for anyone who has read the call sheet. I will try to make my question generic enough not to give anything away. My question is: The call sheet indicates the cast by numbers. In the beginning of the call sheet the scene calls for cast 1 and 2. Later it calls for 1, 3, & 5. The sheet has a section about 1/2 way down that shows which actor/character represents which number. There is no #3 listed. Who is #3 and why aren't they on the list?
  • Cowpattybill
    Something else I will throw out in a generic manner is: What is a HUD costume? Anyone heard of it?
  • Cowpattybill
    Putting this together myself I believe HUD is a character (possibly computer generated) and is Cast # 3

  • CloverFreak
    Just found this site while looking for clues http://www.rageofthegods.com The site has a 6 digit code box and in a few seconds it forwards to slusho.jp. It has a picture of a chinese or japanese zodiac rat and a chinese/japanese symbol.
  • geezer
    good find cloverfreak, im sure one of the 4 horsemen guys will look into that later, but i also disocvered somethin (pretty sure others noticed this) look on the call sheet http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2007/08/clover_field_wraps_and_weve_got_the_call_sheet.html at the very bottom under ADVANCE SCHEDULE it says "ext. street. group running, hud checks out fight, halls ass!!" this could possibly mean that there are indeed 2 MONSTERS and that they are fighting each other. considering the fact that 2 humans fighting over something during a monster invasion wouldn't make much sense at all
  • H.P.
    Yeah I'm pretty sure it is some sort of giant Japanese Mecha that hoses down the monster with a mixture of different slusho ingredients. That is just what I think. I have no hard facts to back that up. Maybe rob is inside the mecha. I checked out the call sheet. Very cool find, but I think abram's sent that to fuck with people. I saved the jpeg and it saves as jjabramsending_zoom. I dont know what all this zoom talk is about but I am sure it is significant. Making your own flavor on the slusho page does use mechas to demonstrate that, so I figure they must turn the secret ingredient against the monster somehow. -The Four Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    What if they take all the left over secret ingredient and embed it into the mecha causing the monster to come after it then allow the monster to divert it's attention from innocent people. Then the mecha hauls an ass whoopin on it. I think the robot could be just as original as the monster will be. I came to the conclussion that this monster will be so terrifying that even something like my slusho theory would not seem silly next to it. -The Four Horsemen-

    Ok, Rage of the gods I read that checked it out browsed the web and this is what i found. No one has decyphered what the two symbols after the cancel box screen mean, but i am pretty sure it is something to the effect of try again. 80811 is not the cancel code neither is 11808, it will let you type in letters as well as numbers no clue what the code is yet. No one around seems to think it has anything to do with cloverfield or slusho either, but i have a feeling thats because no one can figure out the cancel code or what the symbols mean. The picture of the rat is from the Chinese Zodiac year of the rat...2008, the symbol above its head is the only one i have founa at this moment thatis translated. It means God or Deity. Ok this needs to be proven or debunked i am going to dedicate my time to deciphering the symbols on the Rage of the Gods site and the bottom of the Slusho site. If it means somthing or not i need to know, no one else has translated them we need to know its right there in our faces and we dont know what it says. I'm not sure if its japanees or chinese symbols check both to be safe.

    I believe I saw somewhere that the symbols on the bottom of the slusho site have been translated. It basically translates to "You can't drink just 6" or something very close to that. As for the rageofthegods site. No idea what that is all about. I looked at the source code and it has similarities to 1-18-08.com site. Both use websites like http://www.w3.org and http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js which are things like counters and whatnot but either these are the best websites to use and everyone web designer is using them or they are unique enough that two websites using the same links almost certainly indicates they are related. Geezer, I assumed that the fighting the call sheet talks about was the military fighting the monster. I did find it interesting on the call sheet that HUD is not listed as a character yet he is in the later scenes and his costume is for 3 people. To me, that is a huge clue to something.
  • Cowpattybill
    Consensus on the majority of the other boards is that the rageofthegods site is a bust. Mostly the timing of it's creation, where it leads to, the fact there there seems to be no correct code (nothing indicates that a correct code, if there is one, will take you anywhere, it just seems to be a text box). The symbol at the top of the page was changed at one point and then changed back, etc. It doesn't seem to link to slusho anymore. Good theories and I also think that it isn't a legit site.

    I agree bam. I already have my theory, but how can I build on it without new stuff. Maybe the horsemen and everone else on here got J.J. worried.

    Great, now at rageofthegods.com the top symbol at the top of the first page is blurred and the symbols on the other page are now different. Geezer, can you figure them out? I hope this is something and not someone screwing around with us.
  • Cowpattybill
    Apparently alot has happened recently. There is new information at these two links. Be warned though it may contain information about the movie. I've read the first link contains script dialogue used for casting but the dialogue is for a different movie similar to 1-18-08.com. But the second link contains information about the plot to the first third of the movie. I don't know, you can decide for yourself. It does seem to fit alot of the details we have together but I have no idea how that would be filmed. http://1-18-08news.com/apparent-concrete-details-regarding-1-18-08/ http://1-18-08news.com/new-evidence-update-from-the-forum/
  • Cowpattybill
    I said all that wrong. I don't actually know whether the dialogue is from 1-18-08 or some other movie that is similar to it. That is what is being discussed at 1-18-08news.com. Apparently if we figure out what movie the dialogue is from then more clues will be found.

    I'm not trying to rain on anyones parade, but rage of the gods just seems very bogus to me. The sad fact is that everyone is putting fake shit up and it will only get worst as time goes on. I could be wrong though, and I will admit that if rage turns out to be legit.
  • H.P.
    The first symbol does resemble a robot. Maybe it is not what the symbols mean, but what they look like.
  • H.P.
    Nice work Cowpattybill. I totally didn't know what was going on, but apparently there have been some pretty crazy developments. Everyone should check the links out on post 788 and come back here to discuss. It actually makes even more sense out of my theory. If you notice rageofthegods was posted by a cat named luis. He does kinda show up out of the blue, which kinda gets me wondering about it's authenticity.
  • V.O.
    “Here is the first third of the film…About one billion (yes billion) years ago, life on Earth was still at the multi-cell level and they remained mostly in their habitat. One of the organisms was more passive and preferred a symbiotic relationship for their survival. Another (and there were more) was more aggressive and preferred to control larger beings for their survival. Back then, the world had only one continent. The two organisms were separated, for the most part, by land. But the aggressive organism had developed a taste for the passive one and tried to feed on it as often as possible by going around the land mass. Until a cataclysmic event changed things, burying most of the ancient organisms under the oceans. The surviving organisms either died off or evolved (later becoming humans and what not). Fast forward to present day and we have Japan discovering the passive organisms buried off their coast and eventually came to the conclusion that the American continents (North and South) had drifted over the aggressive organisms (more on them later) during the past billion years. Japanese scientists begin studying this passive organism and find that it is a perfect nourishment supplement to humans. Grown in an agricultural field on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, these organisms create the appearance of cloverfields. The scientists learn that these organisms are beneficial symbiotic parasites that give us additional nourishment and make us feel happy. Thus humans and the parasites become one. They are kept cold to prevent them from dying from exposure until they are introduced into their host. Thus the development of the awesome and delicious drink – Slusho! (It makes me happy). Rob is a college graduate who has been hired by Slusho and has just accepted an offer to work in their technologies division in Japan. Rob also knows the basics of the organism, the story that Slusho “invented” as a marketing campaign and has recently been informed that the scientists have found trace amounts of the aggressive organism. This aggressive organism likes to pool up into a larger being, control it, own it, even change it. It also eats the smaller passive organism much the same way a whale will eat plankton. Slusho is now one of the most popular drinks. In it’s own right it is a tasty meal that does not add fat and is proven to be healthy with claims that it cures cancer and many other diseases. Slusho and it’s by-products are now being flushed (literally) into the sewer systems and drained out to sea by way of urine, fecal matter and just straight unconsumed Slusho. This builds up on the ocean floor and eventually awakens a very hungry and aggressive organism. This aggressive organism, hungry and well, aggressive, follows the sewer trail back to New York and emerges through the sewers breaking and igniting a natural gas pipeline in it’s effort to feed on the passive organism, which is now us.”

    Okay, things are really getting alot stranger. The following was posted at http://1-18-08news.com/new-evidence-update-from-the-forum/ Skippy — August 14, 2007 @ 1:44 am Wow you mates really impress me not only with buying in to JJ’s plan for the marketing which was bloody well a great one. But with coming up with all this info about the movie. The CIA should really hire some of you. James you pretty much nutshelled the whole movie. There goes the parasite ayy? Not going to give anything away here, just had to comment on the work you fellows put out. To TPaul, sorry to lay ya over here mate but yes shot with Cannon XL-H1 hand helds. Now however I did do some shooting with a Panasonic DVX100b switched to the 35mm lens. But no holloss on the shakey part, a steady hand was used. Although to give the “real” feel we did do some jerky shots, but not shakey mate. Pleased I was with the acting though, alot was fly by the seat of our skivies. I will clue ya in on this or not, dont know if it’s coverd since this is the first post I have read, the cam’s are found by a recovery team after the events. Good Luck on your findings… Skippy! Skippy — August 14, 2007 @ 2:40 am Oh, one last thing mates I forgot to post. The marking on the lower back of Lady Liberty is made from the “thumb claw”. (Notice the the metal flares outward) That’s a big part of the parasite. Keep diggin’! Skippy I have no idea who "Skippy" is but he is not listed in IMDB.
  • H.P. (the Venus Occupant)
    Skippy got me looking at the poster once again. This thing has got to be super fast. Look closely at the decapitated head, notice there are still bits of debris in mid air. It might just be a goof but I do think it is showing just how fast the monster is.
  • bam
    i agree HP i have the poster (ebay) and up close u can see evrythign perfect there is debris flying off from the statue of liberty but at the same time there is still debris flying from the building it like took chunks out of it seems - The Horsemen Will Never Die-
  • Cowpattybill
    I'm not sure that you should see that much into the poster. It's not an actual scene from the movie (most likely) and probably subject to things like artisitic license and artists interpretations and what not. HP, are you also VO? The same VO that posted #793?

  • Howard Phillips (the Venus Occupant)
    Well put cowpatty. Your right most posters do not show scenes from the movie, but that doesn't mean the poster has no meaning. I think we need to take everything into consideration. This monster will most likely be extremely fast which means we will prob get quick glimpses of the monster amidst the chaos of infected people ripping each other apart. Here is an old post of mine which might support this infected person theory. #430 So far it seems 5:00pm eastern time on thursday for new pics. Last week was the creepy dressed in black man in the background. He is holding his chest it seems, in a rather menacing way. He looks as though He is inching forward towards the soldier. Is this man maybe talking apocalyptic mumbo jumbo to the soldier, to me the soldier seems kinda dumb founded. This guy also seems to be some sort of priest. The messed up thing is that it could also resemble a woman running with a baby. Howard Phillips on Jul 26, 2007 P.S. I am V.O. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Ripper
    H.P., Bam i also agree this thing is going to be fast as hell and we will probobly only see glimpsis of it throughout the moive it may show the whole thing a one climatic moment in the film but i think it would add to the suspense is you did not always know were the monster was at. Also that would be quite a good explanation for the 30 mil to make the film...would not need alot to show glimpses of a CGI monster. I like the infected people theroy, because even if the monster does not kill everyone the infected people introduced into a mass population in panic...spread like widfire. The infected people could be what rob is refering to when they are under the bridge and he says "I think you of them is up there" or somthing to that degree i dont have time to find the post that quoted it.

However, in my truck I listen mostly to Christain rock, worship music, 80's hard rock, country, classical, blues. No jazz or rap and very little hip-hop. I wish JJ would post somewhere his thoughts and feelings about the work that has been done to unravel his mystery. Is he impressed? Pissed off? Are we figuring this out faster than he anticipated? How close are we to the truth? JJ, if you keeping tabs on all this, give us some feedback. Oh, and more clues too. Thanks.

    Toward H.P.~~ Indeed, I am still here, just waiting to be called upon. You are right, this is the best place I have found to gather information. However, I've been having issues at home, and have not found time to do much gathering on my own. So, I have come to the conclusion that it would be easiest for me if I sat back and watched. That way I learn about the movie without having another thing to stress about. However, if you need me to do any research, I will be glad to. I don't mind helping a good friend out. Toward everyone ~~ I'm not sure how important Slusho will be. Although I have heard a lot, the prospect of a monster coming from the ocean to attack people that drink a beverage doesn't sound the most probable to me. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, and I'm not shooting it down. I'm just saying that I have my doubts about it. Oh, and P.S., H.P., a Cocktail is an alcoholic beverage. Not sure what Jeff is trying to get at with it, but that's what a cocktail is.
  • H.P.
    LOL!! I know it is an alcoholic beverage, just wondering what Jeff is getting at. I did a wikipedia on JJ and discovered that he directed an office episode titled cocktails. The episode aired early this year. Could this episode have clues in it. I will look into it. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Infinity-
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhUrKZtav4A&mode=related&search= this is an interesting theory... was the original "thing" an american construct? or was it a bite off of an import idea? seems to me that thats the only criteria left...true or not its a neat thought.
  • Matt
    Here is somewhere I can help. The Thing is completely American and was based on the short story "Who Goes There?" by John Campbell. It was originally made into the movie The Thing from Another World, directed by Howard Hawks, and then John Carpenter remade it into a masterpiece in 1982. One of, if not the, best horror movie ever. Unfortunately, The Thing is being remade, but isn't due out until 2009. This goes with the Hollywood agenda to remake all of the best Carpenter movies into the worst movies imaginable (though I do have high hopes for the new Halloween). Given that, I doubt Cloverfield will be directly correlated with The Thing, though that doesn't mean there won't be similarities. It would be an interesting concept to explore: what would happen if it got away from Antarctica? That would require a much heftier budget though as those who saw the 1982 movie can attest.
  • H.P.
    Infinity the Thing is actually a remake of the movie The Thing from Another World. It is in no way an import idea. As for the similar roar, well it could just be a JJ paying homage. Keep in mind the monster is supposedly a parasite and the thing is also a parasite, but that is where the similarity ends. -The Four Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    Sorry about that Matt it seems we posted at the same time, but you beat me to it. Hey if it gets too boring in here we could always talk horror movies. How do you feel about AVP 2. I personally think they should just do a predator 3.
  • Matt
    If Schwarzenegger wasn't so old now, I would agree with a Predator 3 and have the plot be that the original predator had communicated Dutch's face to his friends and they all came for revenge, which should have been the plot for Predator 2. Then again, old Arnie vs. Predator would still probably be a better movie than I thought AVP was.
  • H.P.
    They should bring Danny Glover back. Hey matt do you play videogames? I am very much into Resident Evil and Silent Hill. What are your thoughts on the Silent Hill movie and also the upcoming Resident Evil 3. I think Resident Evil 3 looks super retarded. Hope they do 4 just like the game. I consider Resident Evil 4 to be one of the best games ever made. -The 4 Horsemen-
  • Matt
    I'm a big fan of the survival horror games, but have hated all of the Resident Evil movies. It just seems to me like they missed the point. They made it more of an action story than horror. Granted the elements are there, with the zombies and Umbrella and all, but it just seemed so ridiculous to me rather than scary. Silent Hill did it a bit better with a real freaky experience, but the whole split storyline took me out of it. I would have rather stayed in Silent Hill instead of seeing what the husband was doing. I agree that RE 4 was phenomenal...as was SH4. Maybe 4 is the magic number.
  • Ripper
    I love The Thing, Matt i do belive it is defenently one of the top three horror moives ever made. H.P., I will kill myself if they make an AVP2 cause it will have some hybrid predlien in it and i feel it would sham both the alien and predetor. Make Predetor 3 i'm all for that, Stallone had Rocky Balboa Arnold should have Predetor 3. I personaly want to see Evil Dead 4 Hail to the King get made.

    Predetor 3, Stallone had Rocky Ballboa Arnold should have P3. The new Halloween will be amazing Rob Zombie can make one hell of a moive. I am a video game fanatic. As for Resident Evil love that series more than any other. RE4 is the greatest game ever, Silent Hill 4 scariest shit ever in a video game. I have played fatal frame and siren but Silent Hill just puts it on another level. The moives of RE are shit I hate that they completly miss the horror and the suspence that is in the games. Silent Hill made a pretty good moive but i agree with matt, who cares about the husband. RE5 looks like it will take the place as greatest game ever, the graphics look flawless. Something to leave you guys with...Freddy vs Jason 2 they have been talking about it they wanted to use Ash from Evil Dead and have him fight them both. Sam Rami would not give them rights apparently he and Bruce Cambell still want to make 4. I would love to see that ED4 Hail to the King. Shop smart shop S-Mart -The Four Horsemen-

    What was your favorite movie of all time?
  • H.P.(the nature boy)
    Dawn of the Dead 1978!!!!! I actually thought the remake was the best out of the slew of horror movie remakes. Cowpatty I can say with 98% confidence that the site you found is legit. I say this because I actually stumbled upon it in the very beginning (when all the ethan haas shit was going down) so I don't think it is a fake. The fakes have not shown up since recent. That's why it was so important to get into this from the start. My advice to newcomers is to keep a watchful eye out and if you are uncertain about a site then visit here and ask around. Matt I can't get The Thing out of my head. Have you ever played D2 for the dreamcast. I swear it could be a sequel to that movie. It is much better than that piece of crap they released on the PS2. - 4 Horsemen Woooooooooooo!!!!!!!!-
  • Matt
    Nice. I love the Romero zombie movies (Dawn being my favorite) and also thought the remake was done really well, though missed out on my favorite scene from the original when the two main characters are trying to make it back to safe ground and one of them punches a zombie for seemingly no reason at all. That always cracks me up because it is so goofy and light-hearted in an otherwise somber movie. However, I have to personally throw two more into the remake argument as being in contention for the best in recent years, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. TCM was both fresh and reverent to the original and Hills took a movie that, while I respect it's influence, I never really liked and made it phenomenal. I can't remember a horror movie that captured so much desperation as that one did. I'm not sure what D2 is and never had a Dreamcast.

How do you feel about the ashless Evil Dead remake, and Evil Dead 4. Sam Raimi is ready to shoot 4 and a no namer is doing Evil Dead. I can't wait. Bubba Hotep was almost enough to hold me over, but I think the time has come to let loose Evil Dead 4. Also have you read Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness. It fucking rocks. Glad to here another Horsemen enjoys zombie movies. If you haven't checked out any of the Lucio Fulci zombie flicks then I highly recommend. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Ripper
    Evil Dead without Ash...failure. ED4 w/ Bruce Cambell hell ya. MZ vs AD kicks ass! I have not seen any of his films, that makes me sad because I like to belive that i am a moive expert. I will ook for them and begin to watch thanks for the heads up. Night of the Living Dead remake..WTF! There are some moives that should not be touched Night is one of them. Dawn was a good remake, but no one can touch his directing in zombie moives. -The Four Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    No ripper Night of the living dead 1990 remake was awesome, because it let Tom Savini direct it and do makeup. Something he didnt get to do on the original because he was in vietnam. The recent Night of the Living Dead 3-D I cannot judge because I have yet to see it. Theres a Day of the Dead remake coming out very soon. Ving Rhames is in it so you know it will kick major ass. I loved him in the Dawn remake. Ok now this is cloverfield related it could mean something to someone who is buying into the rage of gods site. I deciphered the code at the bottom. It says "Nothing is what it seems" followed by the date 9/15/08. Horsemen 4 Life
  • H.P.
    Also ripper check out "Man with the Screaming Brain". One of the better Bruce Campbell flicks. Also if you like comic books check out "Comic Book the movie" Bruce Campbell makes a very funny cameo and it stars Mark Hamill. How can you go wrong!!
  • Ripper
    H.P ya for some reason i was not thinking i did love the 1990 remake of night. I have seen both of those cambell flicks both kicked ass! If Rhames is in the day remake i would love that! I did like the dawn remake and it is not fair to say they shouldent remake them because every new directer brings somthing new to the film and i hope Day is as good as Dawn. I want to see some zombie rodeo YAHA!
  • Howard Phillips
    Rhames is playing Rhodes, gonna be hard to top the original Rhodes. He was such a dick. He made you want to jump into the screen and strangle him. I met the guy who played uncle regis in the remake of night. He was wearing a Dawn t shirt and I recognized him from the documentary. Really nice guy and if I let him he would have talked zombies all day, but sadly I has checking him out at a retail store where I was working at time. Your right we def need to see some zombie rodeo.

    H.P i think we are the only two left. Everyone else has jumped ship. -The Two Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    Yeah I been cruising other boards, same deal. Not sure what is going on. I was under the impression that this shit would go on for at least up untill Halloween. Maybe abrams is not finished with the film. Maybe the call sheet being leaked was to get people to think he is done. I think he will take in all that has been said about his clues and do the opposite.

    I'm still here too, H.P. I just haven't found anything of importance to post, or anything of interest to say. But... does that mean that we are now the Three Horsemen? --(Insert number of horsemen here)--
  • H.P.
    I am sure bam is still hanging around. Phenox no worries. You will always be one of the horsemen. We just need to remember to assemble here whenever something comes up. I consider this place to be a headquarters. We dont need to feel obligated to post everyday, me on the other hand I just like posting stuff. Like I said we can talk about anything in here. Zombie movies seem to be the subject in here when not talking cloverfield. Video games and comics would also be cool topics. -The Four Horsemen-
  • http://www.softcom.net/users/chili/cornfed Cowpattybill
    I'm still here also. I don't know much about zombie movies, not my cup of tea if you will, so I haven't been posting. I also have been checking other sites and there seems to be nothing new and all posters have disappeared except the diehards (like us). They will all come swarming back once something new develops. I guess I'm fairly new to this board but I find it to be the best one out there. Lot's of research, and discussion and theory and clue finding. Alot of drama occasionally but overall still the best out there in my opinon. Keep up the good work and I will endeavor to do the same.
  • J J Abrams
    Can I be a Horseman?

    Depends. Are you the same bad ass mother fucker who does the zombie taxidermy. Not sure how that would sit with bam, but if we don't get any word sure I would not be against that.

    For those following along. The site http://www.rageofthegods.com, although it has been labled elsewhere as a bogus site now has a link attached to the code at the bottom. It takes you to this page: http://www.rageofthegods.com/2618792112420.html Not sure what it all means.
  • Cowpattybill
    I found this: http://www.dreadcentral.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2885 Possible plot spoilers. I think it's safe to read because it has just as much a chance of being write, or wrong, as anything else we've heard or read.
  • http://www.softcom.net/users/chili/cornfed Cowpattybill
    Uhh, that would be "right" not "write". I hate spelling things wrong.
  • Phenox1707
    Lol. Me too, Cowpattybill. You're not the only one... As far as random talk until more info pops up, I'm a major video gamer. I'm not a big fan of zombie movies, since the only one I've seen is Shaun of the Dead. Funny stuff.. As far as video games go, right now, I'm re-beating the Zelda series. In my opinion, Zelda will never, ever die. =)
  • H.P.
    First Cowpatty. I looked into both of your links. The second one I believe is far too vague. The first however is very interesting. Speaking as a Lovecraft fan I can say with confidence that it looks to be the underwater city in which cthulhu slumbers. Phenox that's really strange because my girlfriend is replaying zelda games. I love zelda. My girlfriend is obsessed. She wants to get me a replica twighlight princess link costume for halloween. My two fav zelda games are Ocarina and zelda 2. I would be curious to know what order you think the timeline goes in. I think the zelda realm has two realities, thus meaning there are two timelines which make up the series. If they do a movie they need to use the ocarina storyline. -The Four Horsemen-
  • http://www.rotten.com geezer
    i agree h.p., an ocarina of time movie would be pretty cool, and my fav game at the time is resident evil 4 for the wii, i've beaten it 4 times now and it still hasn't gotten old
  • H.P.
    I am playing resident evil 4 wii also. I love survival horror and tactical rpg games like Lapucelle tactics, Disgaea, Phantom Brave, and of course Tactics Ogre. Wish I had more time to play games. I usually set aside two days out of the week to get booted and play games hours on end. I must say that RE4 for the wii is prob the second best game of all time. The first being Ocarina. Now if they did Ocarina Wii version I could die happy. I have yet to dive into Twighlight. My gf beat it and loved every minute of it so I know I'm in for a treat. They put trading cards out for twighlight and my gf is going crazy trying to collect them all. So who would you cast in an Ocarina movie. Link-Decaprio Zelda- Alexis Bledel Gannondorf- Vin Diesel -The Four Horsemen-
  • geezer
    i tried to go to http://www.1-18-08.com and it's no longer there, it leads strait to paramount's home page, pretty weird
  • geezer
    disregard that comment about 1-18-08.com, i think my comp was just bein' retarted
  • geezer
    im suprised there isn't a zelda movie yet, but i would cast john robinson ( http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/d/dd/180px-JohnRobinsoninElephant.jpg ) as link mia kirshner ( http://l.yimg.com/img.tv.yahoo.com/tv/us/img/site/48/46/0000034846_20061021020832.jpg ) as zelda and i'd have to go with vin diesel also for the role of ganondorf
  • H.P.
    You got me on the link and zelda casting. Guess I was just thinking they would pick big names for a movie like zelda.
  • dudeman
    Ok, heres an idea, im just saying it and you have probably thought about it. But Rob from the trailer has a myspace along with a few other characters from the movie. Now, I think, since the trailer takes place oon 1-18-08, Robs Myspace character doesnt know yet that he is moving to Japan or why. So basically, i think that the Myspace profiles are going to be providing clues and some plot details in the coming months. So keep your eyes on Robs Myspace
  • Cowpattybill
    Is it just me or do the pictures on the 1-18-08.com site seem to be getting bigger? I could have sworn that each photo did not take up that much room on the screen. Maybe it's just my imagination.
  • Cowpattybill
    Check out this link: http://1-18-08news.com/the-1-18-08-phenomenon-shown-in-the-uk/ It says that there is a new line in the trailer that was originally covered over by the roar. I don't know if it's a joke or not. I don't have sound on my computer at work so I don't know what the new line is. Can someone give it a listen and let me know what it says?
  • http://www.softcom.net/users/chili/cornfed/quotes.htm Cowpattybill
    Found this: The Slusho Happy Talk page has been updated. All of the saying have been replaced with new ones. There are no new characters, but one interesting note in the code is that the Jellyfish has been renamed to Squid. It seems very likely that all of theses comments are fan submitted (based on the numerous spelling errors), so I wouldn't put too much weight behind their meaning. Here are all of the new sayings: -Slusho!, thanks for bringing joy to my family's life. But what are you all about? -Slusho is a happy time. I like it. I like it. Uh Huh. -How do I get some of that tasty Slusho? I'm so excited to create my OWN amanzing flavor combinations!!! -BLOOP! -This all is very mysterious. Slusho frightens me, but at the same time I want to drink 6 and be the whale. -I Slushoed myself! -Slusho! the world! -Have you thought about a apple or watermelon flavor slusho? -Is there a whale flavored slusho!? -Hello SLUSHO!!! Your drink is wonderful!! Such great water, with much power, it makes me zoom!SLUSHO!! Will make all the people, fish, donkey, and frog very happy!!! -Strawberry and bluberry are my favorites! -You guys rock I am a whale!" -Like the whale that swam up the Thames river .... we want SLUSHO here in London -Thanks for a GREAT night!!!
  • H.P.
    Is there a specific trailer that has it.
  • Cowpattybill
    I think you have to watch the YouTube clip. I haven't watched it. I read somewhere else that when the cameraman says something like "Guess you should have left earlier" Rob responds with "Shut up" which I guess is different than before. Previously I guess what he said was drowned out by the monsters roar.
  • H.P.
    Rob is most def saying shut up.
  • Cowpattybill
    The trailer was edited by the guy who made this YouTube clip so the question is, did he add in the Shut up or does he have a different trailer (he is in the UK apparently). I noticed the part where Rob's buddy suggests going to the roof is edited out.
  • H.P.
    Cowpattybill you bring something very interesting to mind. What if every country got different trailers. They seem to be the same, but different things can be heard during the chaos. For example "Shut up" would suggest that Rob is being defensive therefore he has something to hide. We obviously didn't get that clue, but the UK did. When the line "It's huge it's alive" is said in our trailer you can clearly hear a cut off almost like someone says something describing the monster and they didn't want us to hear it. There are a bunch of spots like that throughout the trailer and let's face it the explosions and roaring cover it all up quite nicely. We need to find someone with the UK trailer and compare the two. It's like JJ is putting us back to square one. Things should get interesting in here very soon. Only a matter of time before people start fucking with the audio so let's be extra careful. Horesmen Assemble!!!!
  • Phenox1707
    You have a very good point, H.P. People will be releasing fake leads, ones that they themselves edited and created. I think that we need to, as soon as possible, make a full list of links to websites and trailers that we know we can trust. The list can be edited later, if we find a website that is worthy of our trust, but we would need solid proof that the link is indeed related to Cloverfield and is not a false-lead. -Fourth of the Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    Good theory HP but how would they get different trailers in different countries? Aren't they all downloaded from the same website. I don't know of any site where you can download the trailer that was linked to or previously downloaded from the Apple site. Unless you think maybe the different trailers were shown in front of Transformers in the theaters in different countries. If that is the case I don't know how we would get our hands on other trailers unless someone pirated each of them. It is an interesting concept. I think Abrams is devious enough to do that. Worth the research I think.
  • Track39
    dont know if anyone has said this idea but what about ancient gods or creatures battling on earth (i know stupid idea right)
  • geezer
    i know http://www.rageofthegods.com is probably not a legit site, but it keeps getting interesting, if you look at it now, they have the map of some kind of island i believe, that kinda looks like a taurus or wildabeast, and it has this weird shadow over it, also, if you click on the simble above the map, it will show you this new york times news paper, the letters are ridiculously small, so i couldn't read them
  • Phenox1707
    I highly doubt that Rageofthegods.com is a legit site. Just checked it out. I did find some interesting things, however... On the main page, called "13152089147 919 239120 920 19551319 09/15/08 (6)", there are two links and the weird picture of the creature (Which I think is what Geezer was talking about above). Click on the symbol above the picture,and you are lead to a page called "20913519" and contains a news article taken from New York Times. I'm not really too sure about this, since I can't zoom in to read any of the words, and it seems to me that the format of the news page is not that of the real New York Times. Click on the page and you open up an e-mail which already has the "Send to:" section filled in with an e-mail address. "666@rageofthegods.com"... 666 as in Hell? Get back to this later. If you go back to the main page, and click on the numbers, It brings you to a picture of... windows? The page goes by the name of "2618792112420". The sky in the picture is a light blue, and fades to darker colors to the right. The sides of the windows seem to have carvings in them... not sure what they are. Also, the bottom of the right window looks like it has a head of some sort on it. I am completely clueless about this page. Now, at about the middle, below the "Window" picture, there is another link, called "Demons Can't Decipher This Code". The only thing on this page is a picture with a long string of numbers on it. Reminds me of Pi... Anyways, at first glance, I noticed that there are a lot of 2's in it. Also, there are some sequences, like somewhere in there there's a line of numbers about 40 in length which is repeated in the next line. The only thing that I've found interesting is the "666" in the e-mail address and "Demons Can't Decipher This Code". Both have references to hell. May be important, may not be. I'm not sure. Anyways, I'm not going to be able to go online until Monday Night, because there are family-related events that I need to be present for, and they involve going on a 5-hour road trip to another state. Lucky me... Lol. I'm going to bring a copy of the number string, and do some work on it. Please investigate anything that you see in this page that I don't. Hope this post helps you out. I will be home until around 5oo PM EMT, so I will be looking for responses until then. -Fourth of the Four Horsemen-
  • Dan
    if u go to 1-18-08.com and wait for exactly 6 minutes..u will here a monstrous roar... someone ona a blog already has uploaded the roar on a mp3. the roar sounds pretty weird like if it was more than one monster well check it out http://1-18-08.blogspot.com/ scroll down to hear the roar or experience it for yourself http://1-18-08.com
  • geezer
    holy shit, that roar thing really works, and now i really truly believe the monster is pregnant. that bellow he/she let out sounds like a whale about to give birth. but anyway, i found somethin phenox, don't know if you saw it yet but highlight the top of the window pic on http://www.rageofthegods.com, it says I BEG 12F Y15U, D12 N15T C12NTINUE 15R Y12U WILL BE IN GREAT DANGER! 12 and 15 = o apparently im guessing they used 12 and 15 becuase the 12th letter of the alphabet is L plus 3 more is O and the 15th letter is O and 15-12 is 3 and 3+3 is 6 i personally take this as a clue since there are 3 pics on the 1-18-08.com site that have the number six on them slusho.jp seems to have six of everything (6 robots, can't drink just six, six navigation buttons etc.) and if you go to the 1-18-08.com site and wait 6 minutes you can hear the monster's roar (like dan stated)
  • sara
    i wish i had something relevant to say, but as i read through all of the comments you guys said it before i could even think it. All these connected sites are crazy, im on the slusho one now. when you roll over the fishy they show pics, someone mentioned them as code words?? cheese, hammer, etc. any more theories on that? and i was wondering, i know everyone has mentioned that they hear someone say "its a lion" or rather; "its alive", in the trailer. why would they say that? if you saw some kind of beast would you say that? of course its alive, that statement doesnt make sense to me. (unless its something that shouldnt be.) anyone? you guys are awesome. i tried to read all the comments but there are soooo many, sorry if this is has already been said/asked/answered.
  • sara
    ok, sorry, reading more i realized the whole lion/alive has been talked to death. so nevermind. im going to try to email the slusho website. anyone tried that yet??
  • geezer
    anybody thought of the alligators in the new york sewer urban legend? what if "slusho" spilled into the sewere line and made a few gators grow, that would sorta explain how the monster came up threw the ground, but since gators don't roar or walk uprite im gonna dismiss my theory
  • Speedy
    I have been following you guys for some time but i might have missed some stuff. One new thing that i think i noticed was on the slusho page. right clicking on the back ground and pressing play causes it to grow and expand its borders. The line at the bottom "Slusho making fresh improvements just for you" becomes highlighted by the shifting back ground. Using the red or yellow rays some anagrams can be made or possibly something more. Or i just might be seeing things. Any ways i found Shriek Jumps (the shriek of the statue followed by the jumping man) A Offer Smog Volt Stuns Plus thousands of others. most seem to be just gibberish. Let me know if any thing has any validity or if i am not making any sense.
  • Thrawn
    Just took a look at the Rage of the Gods site. On the 666 link, in the page long code, the four digits 1942 appear quite a few times together. Perhaps the year has some meaning to the movie. Also, one of the top headlines on that New York times newspaper deals with a "Japanese freighter" doing something. I can't make out the rest. I'm fairly certain the paper is a mock-up of an issue from the past. Another headline reads something about people being hurt while "motoring". When was the last time that word was used in everyday english? Of course, this site could have nothing to do with Cloverfield anyway, so it could all be nonsense. Anybody consider this: I think there is a definite link in theme between Cloverfield and Godzilla (other than the obvious giant monster aspect). It is widely accepted that the whole blame for Godzilla comes from the U.S. and it's use of nuclear weapons. Now, we have Japan responsible (via Slusho) for creating a monster to wreak havok in the U.S. Another possibility, albeit you would have to discount J.J. Abrams' claim that the monster is original, is that this film is a re-make of Gorgo. Mother monster comes to city to find baby monster pulled from the sea by fishermen. Baby monster is kept in circus (by the way, the "motoring" headline above mentioned the circus. See, anything can be linked with a bit of imagination). Just a thought. Dan, good job finding the six minute roar over at the picture site. I upped my volume and waited, and it took me by surprise even when I was expecting it. Creepy.
  • H.P.
    Ok horsemen looks like it was a busy weekend, but really no hard clues popping up. Speedy made an interesting discovery on slusho which is worth checking out. One thing I have a problem with is the roar comparisons. Ill admit it is cool when you find something that sounds like the roar, but honestly I have heard alot of things that sound similar monster wise. When it comes down to it the roar is a good old fashioned monster roar. People over analyzing it in my opinion are wasting time. Sara and speedy got the right idea sticking to slusho. I have a feeling something big will happen on that site very soon. Thrawn your right about JJ turning the tables and making the Japanese villians. Everyone keep up the great work!! Horsemen I would like to see your input on the cuurent state of things soon. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    Interesting developments over the weekend. I wonder how many of them were already there but just hadn't been discovered yet (like the roar on 1-18 and the expanding background on slusho.jp). We've said before that the rageofthegods.com site is probably not associated with the movie but I'm curious what it is promoting. What a way to do it. I think Abrams could learn a thing or to from whoever the owner is. Slowing building suspense, rolling out small changes to the site over time. Quietly spelling something out to us. Quite well done in my opinion. Anyway, it's Monday morningand I was just checking in. I've seen the new developments posted here, now it's time I peruse the information superhighway and see if I can add anything new to what we have here. I like the praise a couple people have given this board. I agree, there is a lot of good stuff here.
  • Cowpattybill
  • Cowpattybill
    Okay I found this: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/ They took the audio from the trailer and broke it down into 6 different channels. The links to each channel can be found in the link above. I tried to post them here but if you post more than 3 links in one post then it assumes it is span and doesn't post it. Anyway, I don't have sound so if someone could listen and post the words, at least the more intersting ones it would be much appreciated. Also found out about a new website that seems as though it might be a message board that has been posted to by members of Rob's party. If it's legit then it gives us some back story on the characters. Seems to be alot of discussion on other boards about the background pictures and stuff. I haven't checked it out yet. I will in a little while.

    WOW! I cant type much now but i am reviewingthe info get back here later. Great work everyone good stuff. Rage of the gods is not legit interesting but it is a decepitve website leading up off track. 1-18-08 cool about the roar but H.P is right over thinking the roar. Slusho. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    I did about 5 minutes of looking ont the warbloid site. Just http://www.warbloid.com without the /ganu is an aerial photo of some city (NY is presume). If you type http://www.warbloid.com/images you get a security screen that says: "You must have Ganu's dream first" then asks for user name and password. At first I typed it wrong and got a screen that said something like "The average whale is smarter than you, try again". Interesting stuff. I registered as a user but they have to send you a link to your email address first and I haven't received it yet. The site is layed out very interestingly, a different section for each topic. It get the same eery feeling I got when I looked at the myspace profiles, it seems to organized to be fake.
  • Cowpattybill
    There is so much on this website we could spend endless days disecting it and there will be thousands of theories. I almost dread it. I've only looked a little bit. It appears the site has only been up a couple weeks. The posts all seem to be staged. The forums are broken up into different section of the trailer and other online information but the posts in some of the forums have nothing or little to do with the topic. There is one fella who posts the same thing in several areas. He (or she) is romydeejay12 and he posts a picture and says "let the mystery begin...." The picture is of a bull, a mythological winged creature and a fish/snake (maybe an eel) in the shape of circle, biting it's tail with something that looks like red outlined sperm in the middle of the circle.
  • Cowpattybill
    It seems there are a bunch of hidden links here. For example if you type in http://www.warbloid.com/overnight you get a security log in page but each one has a different saying. Here's what has been found so far. slusho- you will have to take the train overnight- this is when it all happens cloverfield- in cloverfield he finds the truth monstrous- you are getting closer 401broadway- ask a cop for directions 63dregrees- stay cool what comes around goes around alien- in the mist from the water
  • Cowpattybill
    I am now a member of the warbloid site. I looked at the other members and the first few are characters in the movie, then it lists some others, one of them has a myspace page that I don't recall seeing before but it is definitely connected to rob and the rest of them: http://www.myspace.com/marlenadiamond In her pics section, the last pic show her (or someone) hooked up to some kind of ventilation machine or something. Does anyone know what that is? Seems like a strange picture compared to the rest of them. The title of the picture is in reference to the Nick Cage/ John Travolta movie Face/Off.
  • Cowpattybill
  • Cowpattybill
    I've been at the site for the past couple of hours, poking around. It looks legit to me. It seems like they are trying to make Rob and friends real people with real lives in our timeline. Any posts indicating the events of the movie or that something will happen on Jan 18th from other posters are either ignored by Rob and friends, met with skepticism, or the person posting is pretty much shut down. Someone mentioned the photos on 1-18-08.com and Rob responded that they were photshopped nicely Quite interesting. Many comments about Japan, and Slusho, and Rob's trip. Some indication that Beth and Rob are romantically involved and she is very upset about his leaving. There is talk about global warming and many dead whales washing up on shore, particularly in Japan. Lot's of clues I think. Also, during my research I found this: TheParasite from the 1-18-08 News Forums posted this: Email (Edited from original version. Contained personal details). "Cipher, A triangle, and a viral site. That's coming on September first. Not only is this viral marketing going to be the toughest yet, it's supposed to share a similarity with the "The Dark Knight" viral campaign. 1. As you answer the questions, more will be revealed. 2. JJ and Paramount are having a little bout contemplating whether or not to show the monster after you figure the campaign out. 3. More will be revealed about the following: Rob and his marketing. The monster and its origin. Jason. Now, his friend has been right before. So I would believe this. Nick That is all I have for now. That is about all I can do today.

    Okay, I'm lighting up this message board. Found this: http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=13934473099147623824 You'll need a google account to access it. It is much like My Space. Rob, Beth and Jason (who is Rob's brother by the way. I didn't know that) all have profiles here including JJ Abrams. I tend to think it is fake though. The only interesting thing I saw was a website in Jason's profile: http://whereisjason.com/ When you go there it says: Where is Jason? Good Evening, well since you asked.....

    Found this link in my research: http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=13934473099147623824 It's a site similar to My Space. Rob, Beth and Jason (Rob's brother. I didn't know that) all have profiles here as well as JJ Abrams. I don't think the profile's are actually their's. I think they're fake, most of the info copied from My Space. One interesting thing though is on Jason's profile there is a website whereisjason.com When clicked you get: Where is Jason? Funny time to be asking, but since you asked..... Jason is at home. Good-night! Disclaimer: This information is provided from a diary script. Actual events may differ without notice. Mon Aug 27 21:53:42 BST 2007 I think the Disclaimer is the most interesting thing. However. I checked this out a couple hours ago and just now. Previously it said something different. I can't recall exactly what it said but something like: Where is Jason? I don't know but probably at home. Or something like that. I have no idea if this is legit or not. My guess is that it isn't.
  • geezer
    i looked at the http://www.warbloid.com site you put up cowpatty. i got internet explorer 7 which uses tabs, and i noticed that the tab for warbloid.com reads "Rikkyaku Eirian It's here It's alive" probably doesn't mean anything, but im gonna look into it
  • dudeman1
    ok, when you go to http://www.warblooid.com/slusho there is a strange looking picture. After studying it and messing around with the brightness I figured out that the wierd light effects are really a picture of a staircase railing. Thats what it looks like. I studied further, and noticed on the top of the railing thing hidden in the wall texture is a creature. Dragon looking with horns. Its hand is on one of the railings also. Im going to try to do a photoshop of this to make it easier to see

    Just got back from my family trip, and I'd have to say, I'm glad that we have made some progress while I was gone. Good work people, especially Cowpattybill. I commend you on your massive discoveries. I'm now doing a scan through warblooid.com, and I'm not sure what to make of it just yet. But still, your efforts should not go un-noticed. Thank you. First thing I noticed was the only link on the entire page. If you press tab on Mozilla or IE, you can see where all the links are. The only link on the page is on an island to the right, and it seems to be on a building or a certain, specific part of the island. I think someone should look into where this place is, and what place or thing is located where the link is. In fact, I'm going to go on Google Earth right now and see what I can get. Just thought I'd throw it out there. -Fourth Horseman, Phenox1707-
  • Cowpattybill
    The most irritating person on the warbloid site is flipboitamidles. He has a picture from the trailer with two characters from the slusho website but he jumps into every conversation with some"what are you talking about" defense. I don't think he's part of the party crew but he pretends he is.
  • geezer
    theres a new picture on the http://www.warbloid.com/slusho , its a pic of what looks like a park entrance, you can see a statue of an angel like creature in the background along with some people in front of it. and in front of all that is a very very blury person, it looks like the person was moving pretty fast when the pic was taken, im not sure if there is a link between the staircase pic and this pic though
  • Cowpattybill
    I don't think the person was moving fast, I think it was a time lapse photo, or a slow shutter speed. Probably a name for that but I'm no photographer.
  • Cowpattybill
    Also, the whereisjason site now says: Good Afternoon, well since you asked..... Jason will be leaving the office around now.
  • geezer
    i captured this from the 1-18-08 trailer at apple.com http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k142/BIGGEORGEFROMHS/cloverfieldmantis.jpg kinda looks like a praying mantis don't you think?
  • Cowpattybill
    Where is that picture from. What part of the trailer? Also, whereisjason now says: Good Afternoon, well since you asked..... Jason will be on his way home from the office at present.
  • Phenox1707
    This is weird. At first, we're all in a stale mate. We don't know what to do next, and we even start talking about zombie movies. Now, only a few days later, there are so many things to look into that I can't keep track. The man in the new http://www.warblooid.com/slusho/ picture can't be moving fast in my opinion. It looks to me like he is standing still, or just walking. Plus, if he was moving really fast, it usually shows some sort of trail where he moved from, or something to that effect. It looks to me like he is phasing, or perhaps fading away or something. I may be horribly off, but it's just my thoughts. As to whereisjason.com, maybe the message changes by time or something? Or maybe they're changing it to throw us off...? -Four Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    Everyone is missing the most important info on warbloid. Slusho comes from whales. This changes everything.
  • geezer
    i captured the photo right before the camera cuts to rob and he says "i dont know im like your main dude" if you watch the trailer at apple.com and go frame from frame you can clearly see it
  • Cowpattybill
    HP - I caught that info about the whales but didn't think it that important. There seems to be some strong references to global warming and whales dying and that this has some impact on slusho. The whereisjason.com site does keep changing. Now it says: Good Evening, well since you asked..... Jason is probably at home at present. I only keep mentioning it because it was part of his profile at the orkut.com site. Again, I don't know if it's legit or not, my guess is not, but I thought I would keep tabs on it just in case. As for the still from the trailer. I'm convinced that there are no hidden images in it. I think there are clues from the items in it but not hidden images (like the demon seen between the hair of the two girls in the photo on the website - which has been proven earlier that it is the same girl photoshopped into two). Do we know what city it is in the aerial photo on the warbloid splash page?
  • Phenox1707
    It's no big deal, Cowpattybill. In fact, we need all of the hints/clues we can get, and whereisjason.com could be a key part, for all we know. As for the City on warbloid, I'm not sure. I scanned through all of New York yesterday, and didn't see anything like it. I'm going to scan through Japan today, though. All I know for certain is the picture was in fact a screenshot from Google Earth. The way the buildings and the boats surrounding the islands are shown closely resemble that from Google Earth. -Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    Someone found a couple more warbloid.com/centralpark - Find a place to hide warbloid.com/libation - the drink that satisfies whereisjason now says: Funny time to be asking, but since you asked..... Jason is at home. Good-night!
  • Cowpattybill
    Definition of libation (according to dictionary.com): –noun 1. a pouring out of wine or other liquid in honor of a deity. 2. the liquid poured out. 3. Often Facetious. a. an intoxicating beverage, as wine, esp. when drunk in ceremonial or celebrative situations. b. an act or instance of drinking such a beverage.

    damn i have been gone for a while dont have time to read everything tho but can som just pot real quick on wats new has happend?? new sites?? etc
  • dudeman1
    alrighty. The Image of the City at http://www.warbloid.com is of a port near Tokyo called Port Yokahoma heres a Link http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://asterweb.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/images/tokyo-x.jpg&imgrefurl=http://asterweb.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery-detail.asp%3Fname%3DTokyo&h=1286&w=900&sz=1350&hl=en&start=11&um=1&tbnid=MmlKaKj3Vo2HeM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=105&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtokyo%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN lol wow that was big. Anyways, also a relevant post on the warbloid forums http://warbloid.com/ganu/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=69 its under Places>Japan, THe link goes to it, its the first post about boats exploading and Sinking in Tokyo bay which is what the image is of Alos, not sure if it is relevant with the word Libation, but a possible connection. Cloverfield is a Wine Brand http://www.cloverfield.co.za/ lol sorry, thats all i have
  • Speedy
    This new site seems to have some great potentials but i am conserned with its authenticity. In psychology there is something called Hind sight bias. We have to keep our eyes open for other sites and search the ones we know. Personally i say sit back and wait. I have a feeling it might be fake. The connections are just to easy to be made. Everything we find is something that we already knew. Keep searching it for now. By the way how was the sight discovered? Is their any proof that it is related to 1-18-08? Does it have any new information? not something we already new. Remember Hind sight is 20/20
  • dudeman1
    Also about 24 seconds into the trailer there is a couple of bottles of wine on a wall-rack. Butt they are upside down. Just shootig for the starts, but perhaps Cloverfield Wine? I cant tell, just throwin it out there
  • H.P.
    Hey bam I would read posts 870-919. Should pretty much bring you up to speed. Nice to see a fellow horsemen back in the mix. --------]=4HORSEMEN=[---------
  • Cowpattybill
    Wow dudeman1, how did you figure out where the arial picture was from? I spend probably 1/2 hour using Google Earth looking all around New York and Japan and I couldn't find it. You found it through a NASA page. How did you do that? I think the word Cloverfield originated because I read that it is the street name that his offices are on. I don't think it has anything to do with wine. I think the libation word might have something to do with Slusho. I think the warbloid site is legit. I think that the characters are set up there and are in our timeline so things will progress towards Rob leaving in January. I think there are some people in there that will help drop some clues from time to time (the site admins) and a few who are pretending to be a part of it (flipboitamidles) and then the rest of us. It is puzzling that all the questions as seem to just hint at the big white elephant in the room (the 1-18-18 movie) but nobody comes right out and says, "hey there's a big white elephant in the room. How did it get here and why can't you see it?" The site seems to have some new information that we didn't previously have. I think things like global warming, whales dying, ships sinking, places in Japan that Rob will visit, are all clues. That's my $0.02
  • Cowpattybill
    whereisjason now says: Good Afternoon, well since you asked..... Jason is at the office at the moment and will be going ice-skating after work.
  • Phenox1707
    Just thought of something. I know it has been thought of before, but I don't remember it being discredited. At about 1:26 into the movie, you can hear a few people saying "Where's Jason?" and "Can anybody see Jason?". Obviously, whereisjason.com is a reference to that part of the trailer. This makes me think that this website is important somehow. Maybe the part where it says "Jason is..." is important, since that part is indeed the only part that constantly changes... Just a thought. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    I assume the where's Jason dialogue is from the trailer. Is it from the one of the separate audio tracks linked above in post #890? I was hoping, since I have no audio, that someone would post the dialogue that was revealed in these separate audio tracks but no one has done that yet. I guess I will have to use a friends computer that has sound. I guess the validity of the whereisjason site depends on the validity of the orkut.com profiles mentioned in post 901. I will keep tabs on it though. Currently it says: Good Evening, well since you asked..... Jason has finished work for the day and is currently ice-skating.
  • H.P.
    Jason lives in Japan and works for slusho. He pulls strings and gets Rob(his little brother a job) Jason was supposed to return to be there at the surprise party. Rob and Jason have been exchanging over the phone and through emails for quite some time. Jason tells Rob he won't make the party due to the recent developments of JJthulhu awakening and destroying Hokkaido(a slusho link at this point is unknown) nobody is allowed to leave. Jason doesn't tell anyone else and just lets most friends think he is still showing. Some people know and some don't. The main characters know and the minor characters don't. Rob knows there is no way he is going to Japan, but doesn't wanna tell anyone because at this point Japan is covering things up. Jason sends slusho mix a couple days prior to beth who then makes drinks with it at Rob's party. Due to the total lack of slusho in the states JJthulhu is attracted to New York City. That's my theory so far. As for the monster I believe it to be a donkey, whale, frog, bird, squid hybrid. Extremely terrifying and only seen a total of six times in the movie. 4Horsemen =[=====>
  • Phenox1707
    I have a few things to say about your theory, H.P., although it is a good base to work off of. 1. Rob is one of the people asking where Jason is when they are on the streets in the trailer, so Jason had to be at the party, at least once. 2. "JJthulhu"... That supposed to be JJ Abrams and Cthulhu mixed, I take it... right? 3. If you are right about the awakening of JJthulhu, then Japan wouldn't have been able to keep it a secret. Think about it... how did Google Earth come to be? The US takes pictures of the entire planet from satellites in space. Either JJthulhu would be detected by them, or radar from passing ships or airplanes from other countries. 4. How do you know that the monster is seen only six times? 5. Where did you come up with the donkey/whale/frog/bird/squid hybrid?? 6. Is that supposed to be a Sword at the bottom? Lol Other than that, I think it's good. Good job. =) -Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    I think I can answer those questions Phenox. It only appears 6 times because the number six has been a recurring theme in many clues. It's a donkey, whale, frog, bird, squid hybrid because these have all been animals included in clues (think slusho website). I agree with you about Japan being wiped out and not being detected. Can't be done. I like HP's theory, it includes many of the ideas thrown about so far. It doesn't mention anything about multiple creatures (although smaller) tearing up the city or perhaps zombies of some kind. I never thought that slusho might be served at the party. Makes sense. That is probably what Rob is drinking in the photo on the website. That would explain why the significance of the photo.
  • H.P.
    Just having fun, but I will answer a fellow horsemen's questions. 1. He could be playing dumb in light of the information he recieved from Jason last minute. 2. That's my official name for the monster. Your right it is a mix. 3. The U.S. knows what is happening, but of course they would cover it up. 4. Six shows up a number of times in the viral marketing. Most of the clues have to do with the monster I assume. 5. Those animals show up on slusho. 6. Yeah I'm playing D&D tactics and felt inspired enough to bust out some artwork from my MS DOS days. Remember those text based RPG's. -Horsemen for life-

    I found something intersting on warbloid site. Part of a message posted by Robby (Rob Hawkins) was: I've ask for it at in a few different places down on Canal, but nobody has it yet. It was in reference to the different flavors. I posted: Robby, you said 'I've ask for it at in a few different places down on Canal, but nobody has it yet' What and where is 'Canal'? We'll see if I get a response.
  • Cowpattybill
    Okay, got a bit of chill going down my spine at the moment. I found the area indicated on the warbloid splash page on Google Earth. I noted where the link is on the splash page (indicated by Phenox1707 in post 906). I zoomed in on that area in Google Earth. It appears to be a building that has some Japanese characters on it. I don't know how to decipher them so I will leave that up to someone else. Again, if you zoom into the general area indicated by the link on the splash page you will see blue building in the corner right near the water. Just East of it there is another squarish building (3 to 5 stories high it looks). On the top of building are 4 characters. What do they represent? This could be a clue.
  • Cowpattybill
    I guess I should specify that in Google Earth I typed in Tokyo, Japan and it took me right there.
  • Phenox1707
    Thank you, Cowpattybill, this has helped me a lot, because new I know about which buildings we are talking about. Here's a link to a picture that I got from Google Earth: http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t313/thelostsoul15/TokyoJapan.jpg I made a Red Box around the building that Cowpattybill saw, with the blue Japanese letters. The Blue Box has a spot which I at first thought might be the spot. Here's a picture of the Japanese symbols on the building that Cowpattybill was talking about. I drew them in paint, so they might not be too accurate, but it's the best I could come up with: http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t313/thelostsoul15/JApaneseLetters.jpg Hope this helps you out. By the way, I might be wrong on the letters. Japanese letters are written and read from top to bottom, so they might need to be rotated before they can be read properly. -Horsemen 4 Life-
  • H.P.
    The monster launches smaller squid parasites which infect people. The black stuff people throw up is ink. The small squid hosting in the human allows it to navigate and infect others in a more agile way. The squid eventually grow after bonding with a whale. They only bond with humans who have had slusho. The ones that don't have slusho in thier bodies get eaten by the parasite.

    i never knew there were 2 statue of liberty's.. besides the imitation of it called "the statue of liberation" in memphis,TN. but anyay, i was looking through the slusho site and the 1-18-08 trailer just for the hell of it, looking for codes or numbers etc. and i noiced rob's frat pledge paddle. i've seen it before, but i never really thought anything of it. it says AKM, which is alpha kappa mu. i decided to look up the origin of the words, on alpha, i got pretty much of nothing, on kappa, i got this http://www.pinktentacle.com/2007/03/edo-period-kappa-sketches/ a japanese river imp, and on mu i got http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(lost_continent), and if you know lovercraft, you have heard mu before in the cthulhu mythos

    Phenox1707, what is with the blue rectangle in your picture?
  • Cowpattybill
    In Google Earth I found the statue of liberty. I am no good at posting pictures but I can tell you that it is North West of the building with the Japanese letters on it, on the waters edge. It is almost due south of the elbow in the bridge that connects the island to the mainland, to the right of an orangey colored walkway. You have to zoom in to around 800ft to see it.

    Wikipedia says this about the number of replicas of the Statue of Liberty: Hundreds of other Statues of Liberty have been erected worldwide. During the 1950s and 60s, the Boy Scouts of America worked hard to donate replicas of Lady Liberty to small towns across America. There is a sister statue in Paris and several others elsewhere in France; they also exist in Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, and Vietnam; one existed in Hanoi during French colonial days. There are replicas in theme parks and resorts, including the New York-New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on the Strip, replicas created as commercial advertising, and replicas erected in U.S. communities by patriotic benefactors, including no less than two hundred donated by Boy Scout troops to local communities
  • Cowpattybill
    BTW, I got a response to my question on warbloid but not by Rob. My answer came for cjthedj and he/she said: canal street in NYC C.J. I looked on Google Earth and discovered that Canal St and Broadway intersect. If I recall correctly, Broadway is the street that the head of the SOL come rolling down. There is a big sign on one of the buildings in the trailer that says 401 (which is right near Canal street). Don't know if it means anything but I look putting things together, even if they don't amount to anything.
  • H.P.
    401 is the area code for Rhode Island. Rhode Island is where the Cthulhu Mythos was concieved. It is the OCEAN state (I live in Rhode Island). Just thought I would throw that out there.
  • Cowpattybill
    Does anyone know where the picture at warbloid.com/slusho is taken at? I tried to search the internet looking for a picture of the statue in the background and couldn't find anything. Perhaps if we could figure that out we might have another clue.

  • Cowpattybill
    I wish I had sound! Another random connection I just made. On Jamie's MySpace page (Jamie is the one who wants her hotness spread across the world) there is a link to a random survey she filled out. The link: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=217778567&blogID=291145017 One of the questions was: Where is your least favorite place to be? Her response: Atlanta. And Chino, California. Smells like the inside of my ass. On the warbloid site there is a character named flipboitamidles that has a signature that says: Location: Chino, CA (DOES NOT SMELL LIKE THE INSIDE OF JAMIE'S ASS!) Now I know where that came from. Also, not a connection but on Rob's MySpace page, in the photo section, he is wearing the same shirt in all the photos but one. There are several comments on his shirt. I wonder if it is a clue. It is an odd shirt. I wonder if in the last photo, his shirt combined with his brothers shirt means anything.
  • Cowpattybill
    Some more warbloid links: /011808 - (contains a picture of a spotlight or flash of light and a building) /thetrain- 53 meters /underthebridge- (something is suppose to be here but it doesnt load properly) I didn't find these, I got them off one of the posts on the warbloid site.

    I had heard the bloop thing mentioned before in other boards but didn't do much research into it. I have now and find it interesting as well. Perhaps that will be used in the movie.
  • Cowpattybill
    A theory that I just read about on the warbloid site suggested that 1-18-08 is not the date that "IT" happens. It could really just be the date the movie is released. The fact that everyone is dressed lightly and have tans, there is no snow on the ground. Seems to be a summery type evening. This makes sense unless the hints about global warming have something to do with it. I must admint, I hadn't considered this theory before.
  • Cowpattybill
    Finally, a somewhat direct answer on the warbloid site. Since I started checking it out there have been random questions asked by visitors that pertained to the movie. So far everyone (the admins and the cast) have been playing stupid pretending they know nothing about the movie. One person in particular starting asking why if they new nothing about the movie, is the forum setup with sections that pertain to the movie. Here is the questioning: - Hey brother, there are no stupid questions. Direct or not, you can ask away. _________________ Des (site admin) - are the times in the Time forum important? _________________ kain - they're the timestamps on the photos over at http://www.1-18-08.com _________________ god - duh. _________________ kain - Yes, the times are important and they will become more important in the future. _________________ Disraeli (site admin)

If people ingest more than six in becomes hard to get out of the system therefore allowing more hosting time for the squid parasites. I think the reason Rob is the main dude is because he has been getting Slusho from Jason. For whatever reason legality or maybe an embargo slusho is not attainable in the states. It's a Japan exclusive. Basically everyone at the party has had slusho from Rob. It's a party drink. It makes you happy all the time, cures diseases, and just overall improves living. Sounds like something the U.S, would ban. Since Jason works in the slusho factory he can get it in powder form. -That's all a got for now hope you guys enjoy it- 4Horsemen ==[======>
  • Phenox1707
    So... you're basically saying that Slusho has drugs in it or something? Cause that could be a very good thought...
  • H.P.
    It could be something the whale is eating. Maybe it's some weird space parasite the whales are eating in JJthulhu's lost city. Then the slusho scientists extract it from the whales.
  • dudeman1
    About one billion (yes billion) years ago, life on Earth was still at the multi-cell level and they remained mostly in their habitat. One of the organisms was more passive and preferred a symbiotic relationship for their survival. Another (and there were more) was more aggressive and preferred to control larger beings for their survival. Back then, the world had only one continent. The two organisms were separated, for the most part, by land. But the aggressive organism had developed a taste for the passive one and tried to feed on it as often as possible by going around the land mass. Until a cataclysmic event changed things, burying most of the ancient organisms under the oceans. The surviving organisms either died off or evolved (later becoming humans and what not). Fast forward to present day and we have Japan discovering the passive organisms buried off their coast and eventually came to the conclusion that the American continents (North and South) had drifted over the aggressive organisms (more on them later) during the past billion years. Japanese scientists begin studying this passive organism and find that it is a perfect nourishment supplement to humans. Grown in an agricultural field on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, these organisms create the appearance of cloverfields. The scientists learn that these organisms are beneficial symbiotic parasites that give us additional nourishment and make us feel happy. Thus humans and the parasites become one. They are kept cold to prevent them from dying from exposure until they are introduced into their host. Thus the development of the awesome and delicious drink – Slusho! (It makes me happy). Rob is a college graduate who has been hired by Slusho and has just accepted an offer to work in their technologies division in Japan. Rob also knows the basics of the organism, the story that Slusho “invented” as a marketing campaign and has recently been informed that the scientists have found trace amounts of the aggressive organism. Whabam (Not Mine, i know a scource) This aggressive organism likes to pool up into a larger being, control it, own it, even change it. It also eats the smaller passive organism much the same way a whale will eat plankton. Slusho is now one of the most popular drinks. In it’s own right it is a tasty meal that does not add fat and is proven to be healthy with claims that it cures cancer and many other diseases. Slusho and it’s by-products are now being flushed (literally) into the sewer systems and drained out to sea by way of urine, fecal matter and just straight unconsumed Slusho. This builds up on the ocean floor and eventually awakens a very hungry and aggressive organism. This aggressive organism, hungry and well, aggressive, follows the sewer trail back to New York and emerges through the sewers breaking and igniting a natural gas pipeline in it’s effort to feed on the passive organism, which is now us.

    /slusho has now changed to the brooklyn bridge.
  • Cowpattybill
    More new changes on the warbloid site. /video - apparently used to say "you havent mixed your flavor yet" but now doesn't work again /underthebridge -(shows a pic of a sign that reads 224600) /401broadway - (shows pic of building) - I've read that the building is on fire but for some reason I can't see that part of it. It was suggested to look at it full screen which I tried but still couldn't see anything to indicate it was on fire.

    Hmmm.... Odd post on the warbloid site. Seems a bit of a puzzle. http://warbloid.com/ganu/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=39&start=10 Des (site admin) says: We miss many things every day. There's always more to find, but if I might offer a word of advice, don't be foolish and loose site of the moment. For most of us it's all we have. Kirk (not sure if he's part of the movie or not, I don't think so) says: The moment and the past. Memories are important, too. emperorql (who I believe to be part of cast) says: Seems like the train will take me somewhere My question is Who am I Where am I going From Honshu to Hokkaido I have tried but find myself coming back to MacDougal to Broadway Cheers Anyone make anything of it? It appears that it might have something to do with the username/password screens that pop up.

    On the warbloid site I asked Rob when he was leaving for Japan. His response was: I was suppose to leave on the 18th of January, but I just found out that it might be delayed a day or two. Thanks for the frequent flyer offer but the company is paying for everything.

    I have to share something that I thought was really funny. I've been saying for awhile now that flipboitamidles is a fake on the warbloid site. I finally called him out and got this private message from him: "ahahahaha u caught me! lol, but don't tell anyone else, trying to act normal because maybe the people who made this forum might slip something to me, who knows " To this I responded: "Sure, I'll play along. Although I'm sure the people who created the site know your not with them so I'd be surprised if they slip anything." His reply was: "lol yeah thats true. so are you trying to get some answers? because i c you going around asking questions lol" His comment made me laugh I must say. I haven't replied yet but my thought is, why would I ask questions if I didn't want answers? Anyway, just thought I would share. I have a new question on the board asking JJ who he works for. I'm hoping to add credibility to HP's plot synopsis.

    i got bored tonite and decided to decipher the katakana symbols on the slusho.jp page i got this on the downloads button the first symbol means "da" the second is "u" the third is "n" the fourth is "ro" the 5th one is a soundmark symbol (don't really know how they use the soundmark) the sixth one is "do" on the store button the first one is either "shi" the second one is "yo" the third one is "tsu" the fourth one is "pu" on the happy talk button the first is "ha" the second is "tsu" the thrid is "pi" the fourth is another soundmark symbol the sixth is "to" the seventh is also a sound mark symbol the eigth is "ku" on the flavors button the first is "fu" the second is "re" the third is another sound mark symbol the fourth is "ba" and the fifth is another soundmark thats all i could really find, the history and customer feedback sections were too difficult (i was too lazy to find them)

    Hey i was searching for more stuff about 1-18-08 and found this http://www.joblo.com/new-1-18-08-trailer if you go there, on the article they have a new image or trailer poster of 1-18-08 which is pretty small but it looks like the hand of the statue of liberty buried underground on top of the image it says " Run.Fast" with 1-18-08 at the bottom of the image dont know if this was photoshopped or not but the image looks legit so check it out n lets see what develops from this
  • Dan
    ^^^^^Nevermind ^^^^ the pic is indeed fake but it is well done lol sry guys
  • geezer
    got some new info in the trailer you can hear Wolfmother's "Woman" playing in the background right before the monster's roar. on that same album there is a song titled "Joker & the thief" and on that song there is a line that goes "can you see the joker flying over the field of clover, watching out everyday, i wonder what would happen if he took her away" field of clover = cloverfield?? also, if you look at wolfmother's self titled album cover you can see what looks like a lizard tail attached to this nymph looking creature. i also think i see tenticles rapping around her arm "joker & the theif" lyrics: http://music.yahoo.com/Wolfmother/Joker-And-The-Thief/lyrics/32002946 album cover: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Wolfmother_album_cover.jpg

    another thing, the name wolfmother comes from the latin origin "Madrevius di lupovius" which means "children born of the beast will steal the shadow of the forest and chase the stars from the night" where i found this info: http://www.popworld.com/pages/artist?7DD120BE-A6BD-4E04-82FA-0BD80609F186

    Found a post on warbloid.com that has this link: http://www.michaelminn.net/newyork/cent ... erse_Roads It shows the bridge that is in the picture on /011808. The one with the numbered sign. It seems that this is the the bridge where a video and still photos of a scene being filmed for the movie were taken by onlookers.

  • dudeman1
    an attorney named Lori N. Boatright has registered a trademark for the title Overnight, and this just happens to be the same Lori Boatright who did the same for the trademarks protecting Abrams' Bad Robot production company, as well as a pair of slogans thought to be connected with the upcoming movie. Translation? It seems like a pretty safe bet that 1-18-08/Cloverfield is actually going to be called Overnight -- or that someone wants to make a bunch of hyper-caffeinated movie afficionados think that's what it'll be called, which would be sort of a mean trick, but also very funny.
  • H.P.
    Lori N Boatright sounds like a code name. Overnight sounds like a code as well. Let's face it everything happening is not straight forward. I have heard the overnight theory more times than I care to. Everyone claims they now of an attorney registering rights. Its all just misleading.
  • dudeman1
    ok, wtf. I just went to 1-18-08.com and was messin with t eh pictures. I was on the one taken at 12:04 and clicked and jerked my mouse. THe picture flips over and says "Robbie, Here use this photo to send a messege of my hotness far and wide!!! Im gunna miss the hell out of ya!! Love Jamie (heart heart)" GO Try it. THe pictures flip over with a nice jerk of the mouse at 1-18-08.com
  • dudeman1
    Ok, the pictures at 1-18-08 can be fliped over by clicking on them and sorta jerking the mouse. Two of the pictures have messages on the back. The on at 12:01 of Rob geteting a shot poured down his mouth says "Dont Forget who takes care of you! Love J" Then the one taken at 12:04 says " Lascano, platte and Robby - Jan 2008 Here use this photo to send a message of my hotness far and wide!!! Im gunna miss the hell out of ya!! Love Jamie" All the pictures flip, those two have messages on the back, go check it out. Totally accidently found that out. GO
  • dudeman1
    sorry, i think that may have been old news. Got excited
  • Cowpattybill
    Yes, that's VERY old news. No problem though. Nice to know someone is still poking through the ashes looking for warm coals (meaning that the 1-18-08 website has been scoured mercilessly for clues). The ability to flip the pictures has actually become sort of a joke where every few days someone on a board will post something like, "hey did you know that you can flip the pictures if you shake them" and everyone gets a little chuckle. The Overnight trademark is pretty old new too. But hey, at least you haven't given up like most people seem to have. Keep up the good work dudeman1.
  • dudeman1
    yeah, what can I say, I didnt even see the trailer until mid august so im some what behind.
  • Cowpattybill
    Looks like someone was going in the same direction I was. I found a post of someone who did some research on the buildings in the area of the picture on warbloid splash page. It seems some of the buildings in the area (and possibly the one indicated by the link on the splash page - which may or not be the one with Japanese writing on top) belong to the Asagami Corporation. Their website is: http://www.asagami.co.jp/hp2004/english/index.html Seems they specialize in warehousing, 3rd party logistics, transportation, harbor services, and printing services. Don't know if that helps us at all but there it is.
  • Cowpattybill
    Okay, I'll post this here. Not because I believe the guy (I don't) but because I don't have the equipment necessary to try it and thought one of you might want to give it a shot and see if he's right. I don't believe "Rob" just because it is in all CAPS and doesn't give any helpful information other than what he saw. I think he just likes the idea of someone spending an hour or so trying to do what he suggests. Here it is: ROB — September 2, 2007 @ 6:04 am I BROKE THE CODE…..LET ME EXPLAIN…YOU HAVE TO USE THE PICTURES PROVIDED ON THE WEBSITE AND YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE TRAILER WHEN YOUR LOOKING AT THE PICS YOU NEED TO USE THE TIMES IN THE PICTURE (THE SECONDS) TO MATCH IT TO THE FRAME IN THE TRAILER. YOU NEED TO RUN THE TRAILER REALLY SLOW ON WUTEVER PROGRAM YOU HAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER, BECOUSE IT HAS TO BE THE RIGHT FRAME, LIKE WHEN IT SAYS 12:36 YOU HAVE TO USE THE FRAME AT 36:00 SECONDS, THE 12:04 FRAME YOU USE IN THE NEXT MINUTE OTHERWISE YOU’LL JUST GET A PIC OF THE PARAMOUNT MOUNTAIN, TRUST ME IT GETS ANNOYING TRYING TO DO IT OVER AND OVER….AFTER YOU GET FINISHED WITH THIS, IF YOU DO IT RIGHT YOU WILL REALIZE THAT IN EACH FRAME THAT YOU FREEZE A WORD POPS UP IN THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN, YOU WILL KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE IT….THE FIRST 4 GIVE YOU A PHRASE, AND THE LAST ONE GIVES YOU AN EMAIL ADRESS OF SATOSHI@SLUSHO.JP, SO I EMAILED THE PHRASE AND I WAS EMAILED TODAY WITH THE WITH A CODE AND A WEBSITE. THEY SEEM TO BE PRETTY SERIUOS ABOUT IT CUZ U HAVE TO TYPE IN YOUR SOCIAL SECUITY # YOUR ADRESS AND THE WHOLE WORKS BEFORE YOU CAN USE YOU CODE. AFTER YOU REGISTER IT LETS YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU CAN ACCESS THE ACCOUNT SITE 1 TIME WITH YOUR CODE AND IT WILL NOT ACCEPT IT AGAIN, TRUST ME I TRIED…….ANYWAY IT SHOWS YOU AN EXTENDED TRAILER, IT SHOWS YOU THE MONSTERS FOOT, AND IT KINDA SHOWS YOU THE SHADOW OF THE SIZE…IT’S REALLY BIG, NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS NOT A GODZILLA REMAKE, BECUASE IT TELLS YOU THE NAME OF THE MOVIE AT THE END. IM NOT ONE TO SPOIL A SUPRISE, BUT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT NOW….GOOD LUCK

    I believe it's BS anyway. I tried to do what he talked about and I didn't see any words. Nor did someone else who posted after him.
  • Cowpattybill
    The warbloid.com splash page changed. It now looks like a close up of a painting of an apple on a yellow background. I'm sure that's not what it is but that was my first impression.
  • Cowpattybill
    /slusho is no longer a picture. It is now a security screen again but it now says "Seven" /401broadway now says "The door is closed" /underthebridge now say "It's coming" /011808 now says "Time is not an option"
  • Cowpattybill
    /cloverfield still has the security screen but for me it automatically filled in the User name with "thecop" and had a password. I clicked okay but didn't do anything but wipe out the password. I don't remember ever trying thecop as a password so I don't think it was remembering it from a past try. Does anyone else get the same thing?
  • Cowpattybill
    I find it odd on the warbloid site, and maybe I just don't understand how it works, but on the main page it shows Topic = Try This and shows that it has 11 pages and 105 replies yet when you click on it, it only shows 6 pages and 51 replies. Are the other ones deleted or do I have some kind of option triggered that only shows some posts? I'm asking because what if there were 105 replies but half of them were removed by admins because they were too offensive or maybe they gave away too much information. Any thoughts?
  • Cowpattybill
    Okay, warbloid splash page. Definitely buildings in the background. It is night, there are lights on in the buildings. The yellow color is mist or fog or something like that. If someone had some software that would allow you to mess with the contrast, or color or whatever you might be able to more clearly see whatever the purply/red/blackish blob thing is. It might be a person, it might be a raptor-like creature, who knows.
  • dudeman1
    I cant get the splash page to load anything... damn
  • dudeman1
    and with that all cap thing from "ROB" I have watched the trailer over and over frame by frame trying to analyze and find something new since i saw it. (I get bored and drunk alot) and I have never seen any hidden words pop up. So, im going to label "Rob" as someone trying to get attention and start something
  • Denisse
    what splash page, if i may ask? just about everything has a security screen now. p.s. you go cowpattybill...on a roll! :)
  • dudeman1
    http://www.warbloid.com is the splash page ( Think) and theres suppose to be a new image there, but i cant see anything. Its just blank for me
  • Denisse
    blank for me too.
  • dudeman1
    I think something is going to be revealed on Friday. JJ said he was releasing something in september. And Im just fallowing along and taking hints, but when you go to warbloid.com/slusho it says SEVEN. This friday is the 7th, and new movies come out on fridays. So maybe a new trailer...
  • dudeman1
    According to such websites as bloody-disgusting.com and IGN.com and more, there’s a highly speculative rumor that 1-18-08 director Matt Reeves is considering naming the movie “Wreck.” Just another rumor and possible codename. Just read about it, thought I would share. Again, Probably just another code name, IF anything
  • geezer
    the warbloid page is blank for me also. anyway, me and a few of my friends are going to make a second 1-18-08 trailer of our own on friday. i already made a mini script and got the materials but im having second thoughts on script, if anybody has a good idea for a script or wants to read the script i already have, let me know

  • Dan
    i found this post on a 1-18-08 blog..check it out ___________________________________________ Insiders Guide To Cloverfield/1-18-08/Slusho A post on the Cloverfield IMDB forums has revealed inside information on the new JJ Abrams monster film. Usually, these posts are full of wild ideas with way too elaborate details on the movie. This guy, however, has filed a basic and logical summary of the movie. Essentially, the post tells of how the producers got in over their heads on a real basic action film. Fan frenzy diverted time and resources to rewrites and trying to live up to the hype. Below is the post in its entirety. (Potential Spoilers Warning!) "So before I go any further... If you don't want to know the details of the movie.. than don't read after this point.. I won't give away everything.. but just certain things we've all been wondering. IT IS LONG AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE AS MUCH INFO AS I CAN.... So.. basically I came across this board and found a lot of interesting theories and many ridiculous ones as well.. I myself became a a fan of the trailer and (like many of you) have been trying to and out what this movie is about. As a member of the entertainment industry.. I was finally able to crack someone (a friend I trust) inside into giving me at least some details...(No, it's not J.J or Reeves or someone big.. but he/she does work and has been on set of the movie... And since he/she, like anyone working on the movie, are on a strict gag order, I figure I will post this as my own "THEORY" in order to protect him/her. So this is my "THEORY" So basically the trailer created a phenomenon that J.J and the producers never thought it would. After the buzz from the media and Internet about the mysterious trailer, J.j saw this as a great marketing ploy to create even more buzz over this small little film. Yes! this movie was originally intended to just be a nice cult classic that monster movie lovers would like. This is, in fact, your basic monster movie with an American touch. It is no secret that J.J is a fan of monster movies and wanted to make America have it's own monster... There is a problem though.... THE MONSTER: The monster is not American at all.... The monster did go through its infancy and grew up under the Atlantic, but its origin, like Godzilla, came from Japan. This is where the Slusho reference comes from. Slusho does have a part in the movie, but is not as significant as people would think. It plays a small role in the beginning of the movie as to the origin of the monster. This was as much info on the monster as I can get... the reason for this is because no, including cast and crew has actually seen the monster. I don't even think J.J knows what the final monster will look like.. that is being kept very secret... The monster will be entirely in CGI where, indeed, most of the films budget will go.... There weren't even any animatronic hands or feet on set which implies that there will be no real/direct contact with the monster and cast (unless it's all CGI)..... And as for the theories of multiple monsters... NO.. sorry, it is only one gigantic monster. To conclude, it is not Godzilla, A lion, Voltron, Rampage.. or any of the other monsters people have been thinking... it will be original and it will be a Creature of some sort (not robot)... they are still working on what it will actually look like.. THE PLOT: So, again, I could only get so much info on the topic... But basically this film has seen more rewrites than... well.. whatever other movie has seen a lot of rewrites... a lot basically. Originally the entire film was all destruction from beginning to end, J.J wanted all action, all the time. It was, like I said, your basic Monster movie, no real plot, as long as people die and te monster destroys a lot of stuff... But after the buzz over the trailer, the producers felt that there needed to be more to the story than just things blowing up... so the rewrites began.. but there was only so much they can do.... They did give a little bit on Rob and Beth and they're crushes.. and a little bit on the brother and friends.. but for the most part. .there's no real character development in this movie... And so... the myspaces were created to give the characters a little more back story.. this way, true fans will know much about the characters when the film finally does release... but those who only have seen the trailer and never took anything out of it than another monster movie and won't get much back story on the characters... since the plan is to make most of the movie about the destruction... Though... the monster will not truly be revealed until about 30 minutes in to the movie... THE STYLE: Though many feel that the movie will consist of home video to give it a more "real" effect.. this is not true... The film will be shot the way we see any other movie (we'll call it Film Look) but will have parts in home video, like the trailer. In fact, what we see in the trailer is in the movie, but there are "Film Look" scenes in between that we haven't seen. As much as some people would like to see a Blair Witch style movie with this film... it simply doesn't work... everything would be too shaky and the audience will be too bored with the handheld... and if the film was shot that way.... it would suggest that, like Blair witch, the monster would be difficult to see or not seen at all.. which would not satisfy the audience.. and So I guess we get the best of both worlds with both styles integrated... Plus... who holds on to a camera the hole time..It's just not believable.... THE SITES: So the official sites are still 1-18-08.com and Slusho.jp.. no warbloid or rage of the gods....though Slusho doesn't have that big of a part in the movie, it does have the most clues as to the origins of the monster...but I don't know, my friend doesn't know... but some one knows what they're doing.. but it's too confusing and frustrating to crack the "codes" so to speak.. And then there's 1-18-08.com.... There are still only 5 pictures with two of them having messages.... There are no real clues in these pictures.. I'm sorry.. The pictures were put up there as more teasers as to what happened that night..giving you a time frame. There are no hidden messages and if they are.. we'll never find out until the movie comes out... But Good news... the producers are listening to the fans who are frustrated with the mystery and know that you can only hold out for so long... A reason for this is was the lousy roar that was inserted 6 minutes into staying on the site... the producers found out that you guys were outraged that a new picture or some form of information was giving.. it was just a roar.. so they want to make up for it... TITLES and NEW TRAILERS: So everyone has been wondering what the title will be... and you are no different from the producers... when production began.. the film still didn't have a title... Cloverfield, Slusho, Etc. were just working titles (I'm sure we all knew that) But J.J really, really wanted to get the trailer out in time for the release of Transformers since he's smart and knows that it will be seen a lot with a blockbuster like that... So what do they do... they push it with no title and what they had shot already.. hence... we all saw what some have said to be the greatest trailer ever made.. though it was all pretty much a fluke by J.J for not having a title ready... not to say that they didn't know what they were doing... I'm sure they wanted the movie to seem mysterious.. but there was not title to release at the point... And if that weren't enough.. they did decide to release the title at Comicon..but after the poster leak fiasco.... they scratched it and went back to the drawing board... It was going to be Monstrous (and they saved themselves by releasing other posters with other adjectives)... but because of the leak.. they decided to change it again... soon Overnight and Parasite were scratched and the newest "weak" title "Wreck" will soon be scratched... For some reason J.J wants to keep the title one word.. it's like his thing (Alias, Lost).. and not very elaborate titles.. just basic words... but I dunno if we'll be happy with the final title...but as for now.. they're still working on it.. Which leads to the new trailer that will soon come out that will AGAIN have no title!!!! What is up with that.. give it a title already!!.. But the new trailer will consist of actual scenes related to the aftermath of the first trailer.. This includes Rob among other friends struggling to get away from the monster (which won't be shown of course.. again)... ad find themselves at a first aid center where (as I have seen on previous posts on the new trailer).. will have "infected people".. but no.. this will not be a monster/zombie movie.. the infection is a result from a mysterious ooze that comes from the monster.. upon contact.. they get sick and may look like zombies.. but do not hunt for brains... It just makes them look like crap for some reason.. So that's my theory.. I'm sure I left some stuff out.. but I can only remember so much.... So, personally, I don't think the movie will live up to the hype.. I think we all wanted a little bit more out of this movie.. but we'll soon find out that the phenomenon was basically a fluke which went to the producers advantage.. and now we're left with the obsession of trying to find out what this movie is about and they're struggling to try and live up to the hype.. it's just a big mess.. " [...original post]

    Personally I think that theory is boring and makes for a shitty movie. JJ should take cues from my theory post #967 and if he doesnt then Ill make it a friggin movie. We know the guy can write so why would anyone believe that he is having problems developing a script.

    Ok so Im glad that I spent maybe a total of twenty mins on warbloid. I had my doubts from the start. It was too neatly packaged. It doesn't have the cryptic feel of slusho. For the record I have speculated a strong Lovecraft influence on this movie from the very start. From the very second the first explosion went off during the trailer. At that point I could care less about transformers. All I knew was that for some reason the explosion resembled cthulhu. Maybe I'm going nuts, but these have been my feelings from the start. Also the official logo on all the call sheets is a Kraft cheese logo. Where it's supposed to say Kraft it says L.A. N.Y.C. followed by the codename cheese. Exactly like the Kraft logo. If anyone is interested in the final call sheet I could send it. Just hit me up at carradinefan@yahoo.com. Im sure by now most of the links have been taken down. -The Four Horsemen-

  • HulkingUp
    There is no face, I just looked at every detail in the poster.. I don't see a face anywhere.
  • Phenox1707
    I believe the face that berto is talking about can be seen in this edited version of the poster: http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t313/thelostsoul15/CloverfieldMonster.jpg It's far-fetched, but it is there. Anyways, I'm glad that warbloid is now down. Gives us one less thing to hear about in the future. We need to focus on the details we know are facts, and work up from there. -The Four Horsemen-

    Crap! Well they got me hook,line, and sinker. This is interesting, here is the rest of the post on the warbloid site: People are homeless and starving in your own country. Thousands of people are dying in conflicts around the world each day. It's almost election year in the United States and you're pissing away countless hours on your computer searching for information about a movie production. Wake up and do something meaningful with your life! Quit living a false reality! You are accomplishing nothing and all slaves to the fashion. Whether you believed this site was real or a fake and you're spending hours doing research, then you are a loser. So don't go patting yourselves on the back or we just might put up a few more of these sites to prove our point. So long brother, Des I find it interesting that Des says that we are wasting our time doing research for this movie. I wonder how much time Des and crew spent putting the site together and monitoring it and whatnot. I mentioned back in post # 674: Wow, there sure are alot of people doing an awful lot of researching, thinking, deciphering, brainstorming etc because of this movie. Alot of creative juices are flowing. If all this collective brain power was concentrated on world issues we would have resolved world hunger and be well on our way to tackling global warming by now. Amazing. Cowpattybill on Aug 9, 2007 I'm sad that the warbloid site is a bust. I spent a lot of time there. I know I'm terrible at figuring things out but I'm good at research so that's what I do. I leave the figuring/deciphering/code breaking to the rest of you. If the long post about what Abrams is up to is correct then it makes doing all this work kind of pointless because there isn't a big campaign of clues and revelations to be found. What will I do now?.......
  • Cowpattybill
    There has been alot of discussion on all the boards as to what the title should be. I think this late in the game he should just call it what we've all been calling it 1-18-08 It's been well branded. It would make a sequel more difficult unless you just use another date.
  • Phenox1707
    I don't really have an opinion as to whether or not there should be a sequel. In my opinion, when the movie comes out, a lot of people are going to see it and then that'll be it. I mean, people like us that have put effort into this movie are obviously going to see the sequel if there is one, but I can guarantee you that there will be a select group of people that think we're complete morons, and that "1-18-08" is an over-rated movie. Thus, they won't care about it, and they'll ridicule us for "wasting" our time. I think that there should be a sequel only if the movie is as good as I hope it to be. If it's not, that might ruin it a bit. I don't want to speak for you guys, but if we build it up to be some awesome movie, and then it turns out to be less exciting and less intense than we thought, then I'll be disappointed. Of course, I'll keep looking for answers until the day the movie comes out. I'm just stating my opinion. -Horsemen-

    I had a feeling that the warboild site was fake so i have been gone looking in other directions. I have found nothing. I am at a loss i am caught up with everything here, but i can't find any real new info. I am at a stand still all i can do is have theroy at this point. I am still with H.P on this. If the monster can from japan like that huge post a little ways back implied then i know my plot of his course and selection of new york as a target is right...still don't help thought(sigh) I'm back now horsemen check back later. -The Four Horsemen-

    As the leader of the 4 horsemen I must address this Des character. Des you sound just like some islamic fundamentalist. I would rather keep my nose buried in cloverfield and play warcraft before I waste my time fixing something our gov should be fixing. Our gov is a disease that spreads across the world and guess what it's not my fucking problem to fix. I don't support the war or any other war because you know what? It's not my fucking problem. The government sends troops over to kill people and you want civilians to fix that. You my friend are the one living the fantasy. So stop making people feel bad for having freedom. Also I can honestly say that I don't spend hours researching. I work a full time fucking job and I know other people are doing the same. If it wasn't for the workforce there would be no saving the world. If the concept of money was not created then we would not be working jobs. So money is the only thing that runs this planet. If you believe otherwise then you are living in the fantasy world. I'm done with you DES. Go suck bin laden's dick. On another note I'm fucking happy as hell to see the horsemen back in here. Cowpatty if bam doesnt show then you may have his spot for the time being. -The 4 Horsemen={=====>
  • Larry
    can anyone post on here??? I find this whole story facinating....the way you are all digging up clues to what the real storyline is...hope you dont mind me "lurking" out here to watch some more....
  • Larry
    DUH???? I just figured out why no one is posting....I would assume all the detectives are asleep at this time...took me a while to figure that one out...being on the west coast I tend to forget things like that...anyway, while you rest I will take this opprtunuty to say a couple things...I dont think any of you are wasting your time...it is perfectly OK to seek answers to seemingly unimportant riddles...it is what makes life fun...so keep up the good work...you have no idea how much enjoyment I have gotten from keeping up with your posts as you search for answers to the riddle before you...I work swing shift at an AFB and there is little to do on most nights...since discovering this little (or not so little) gathering of movie fans, the nights have passed much more quickly and I look ever forward to the next days postings....if ever I come up with anything I feel worthy of your attention or helpful in anyway, I wil gladly share it...so forgive my longwinded post but it is just a way of saying thanks a lot and hello to you all....and lastly, being a long time monster/sci fi movie fan, I do hope so very much it will not be something so adolescent as a remake of any of the japanese films...we need a true horror to bring back the thrill of going to monster movies...something missing for a long time...so, my vote is for somethign very Lovecraftian....take care all...be watching from out here for future developements.......
  • Phenox1707
    I'm going to have to correct you, Larry. Not all of us are asleep. In fact, I plan on staying up for quite a bit longer. However, I have a cold at the moment, so I'm not exactally in my best "detective" condition. Then again, I'm more of an observer too. I observe what the others say, and see what I can make out of it. I, like you, have things occupying me during most of the day, so I cannot post new information very often... Anyways, you're welcome to post whenever you want. If you want to talk other than on the forums, my e-mail is allstr008@aol.com. -Four Horsemen-

    I got an inside tip that the new trailer will be attached to Beowulf. We aint talkin teaser either this is the jackpot. Something to talk about through the holidays. Larry I hope it is something Lovecraftian because I am a very distant relative of Mr.Phillips and nothing would make me happier. I myself am writing short stories they are as follows........ The Man from Outside Earth The Man from Inside Earth Tower on the Moon (ten parts) Haunted Translation The Venus Occupant One day I promise to carry on his legacy with a new mythos
  • Larry
    I am beginnign to see somewhat the depth of the talent at work here..it is a pleasure to able to corrrespond with you all...I have no writing skills beyond having some fairly strong editorial letters to the local paper...I have often wished to have the skill to make some of my ideas into short stories that would be suitable for publication...unfortunately I have yet to put something together worthy of interest...so, my very best wishes to you on your projects...where would I be able to find the short stories that you mentioned?? I would love to read them...
  • dudeman1
    ok, wierd idea. just thinking outloud, something I think would be cool. The trailers and pics etc are all takena nd captured at 1-18-08, which is when the movie comes out obviously. So.. since the pictures and trailer all take place in the wee hours of january 18th, maybe the movie is based on the after effects of what happened the early morning of 1-18-08? Like news coverage, recovered witness video (robs surprise party) ect. Just thinking outloud. That might be cool
  • Larry
    I think I read way back in the earlier posts something to that effect...that the camera is found by a clean up crew and the movie is the playback of what was on the camera...in hopes of adding something useful to this effort I offer this.....one point that hasnt quite been established is whether or not this goiong to have an occult twist or straight up sci/fi...either something extra terrestial or result of man's disregard for the environment....if the Slusho angle is legitimate, that makes it "real world" so to speak and not an occult Lovecraft type scenario...which for me is kind of a bummer...the whole thing about a soft drink ingredient being the cause of a creature of this magnatude is just silly....it falls so short of the expectations after having seen what this creature can do...make any sense??? I mean it is just too awesome to have such comic book beginings...too Godzilla-ish...I sense a much deeper story behind this...something to give you real chills when it finally becomes apparent...it will be disapointing if there is not...just my 2 cents as a long time movie fan....
  • H.P.
    Heres an old post you guys might wanna chew on Has anyone thought that maybe this is a sequel to Cthulhu(which comes out this fall). The trailer looks to be more of the cult story about Cthulhu and Cloverfield could possibly be the follow up/big unveiling of Cthulhu. I mean it does seem like this movie starts up rather quickly and we do know that the story starts around midnight. It's still totally possible that both movies could be tied to lost. I know most people will immediately shoot this theory in the head, but let me ask you this why do we see 401 show up a number of time in the Cloverfield trailer. 401 is the area code for Rhode Island. I live in Rhode Island and I am a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan. For those who don't know H.P. Lovecraft, he created the Cthulhu Mythos in RI. He also lived and died there. RI is known as the ocean state. Now think back to the slusho site and keep in mind the ocean theme. Lets not forget the name you can spell out using both The Parasite and Cloverfield code names. I got plenty more and I could go all day with comparisons, but frankly noone can tell me different. When I first saw the trailer during transformers I thought about Cthulhu instantly. So slam me all you like for I AM PROVIDENCE. obviously theres plenty of fat to cut out for it was an old post but you get my basic point.
  • Phenox1707
    Larry can't post right now. Something wrong with his internet, I think. But this is his response to you, H.P.: ********** having visited the Cthulhu movie site it is hard to see where they would be connected... the movie trrailer doesnt give much up as far as a monster of any sort...seems more like one of those "psychological thrillers"...a term they use to cheat us out a real monster...but that is the impression I get from watching the Cthulhu trailer...just doesnt seem to be in the same league with Cloverfield....I agree that Cthulhu would make for a more chilling monster...and occult creatures are going to be far harder to stop that "real world " types for the obvious reason...MAGIC...makes everybody play by an entirely different set of rules.... ********** My response is this: Well, not necessarily, Larry. You can't say for sure that an occult creature would be "far harder to stop" than a real world creature. We aren't sure what the monster of Cloverfield is yet, so we can't say for sure what its weaknesses are. For all we know, the only way to kill this monster might be something completely nuts like "First, you must stab it's toe with the round edge of a spoon... Then..." Yes, I know that's completely illogical, I'm just trying to make a point here. I do agree with you that the two trailers do not seem to be anything close to each other, and I personally regard them as to completely separate movies. Other than that, I got nothing. -Four Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    I obviously don't have the same thoughts I did in post #409. I have come to realize that cthulhu will not show up in this film in the traditional sense and that is the point I was trying to get across with the fact that an actual cthulhu movie is soon being released. There were certain things in the trailer that made me think of JJ. The random polar bear was one of them. I thought that would have been a cool trick to play when everyone is all of a sudden watching a sequel on 1-18-08 and then they would have to go back and get the cult backstory from a movie that came out under thier noses. I just found it odd how mysterious this Cthulhu movie was. It's very much under the radar and has that straight to dvd feel. I bet alot of people don't even know about the Cthulhu movie. Also larry I would have to disagree with you on Psychological thrillers. It is much more terrifying for the mind to play tricks because when you begin to show too much of the monster it becomes cheesy. I have no problems seeing this monster as little as possible during the film. It's like bigfoot lockness or even bloop. If you see too much and know too much then the magic is gone and the legend stops being fun. Well that's just my opinion and Larry I respect yours. I'm just happy to see this place jumping again. Oh yeah and about my stories. I am still writing them. They are all being written at the same time. It sucks because I'm very unorthodox because sometime I'll have little pieces of paper scribbled on here or a tape recording there and then I gotta go through all of it and organize and as you can imagine its even more frustrating when you are writing five different stories at once. My main focus is Tower on the Moon. Everything else feeds off that. I would say maybe another five years and I would have something presentable. I could send you a plot synopsis of Tower. I also write comics. I came up with the idea of killing Batman off and then having a pissed off Superman run around in the batman costume. Super-Batman. well that's it for now hope everyone enjoys the weekend.
  • Phenox1707
    Just throwing this out there, and it has nothing to do with the movie. I'm beginning to start writing for my own entertainment. Ya know, write a short story, and enter it in a contest... that sorta thing. So far I've only written one piece. It turned out okay, and I'm not sure how well I'll do in the contest that I entered it in. If any of you want to see it, I can send it to you if you give me your e-mail. Anyways... Hopefully, by the time you're done with your stories, H.P., I'll have developed my own writing skills up a bit. I'd love to read your stories whenever they're done. Could you send me a plot synopsis, because I am interested in the books. The titles are very intriguing. -Four Horsemen-
  • Larry
    just for fun....new movie idea....well known eccentric producer surprises the public with a trailer for an upcoming film...totally awesome special effects, no hint as to what is happening except that it is quite terrifying...scenes in the trailer look almost TOO real....fans on a web site begin exploring the internet for clues alluded to about the film content by the producer...after most people have given up the hunt as too exhausting, a particularly dedicated group of fans doggedly follows the elusive clues in search of the promised secrets of the film's plot and content....and just when it seems that the whole thing is just a gag, they discover that the path is leading them to one horrifying discovery after another....no gags, real events, real occult mysteries, happenings...or maybe some cross dimensional, "rip in the fabric of time" type stuff...it just flashed in my head as I was reading the posts and thinking some "what if" kind of stuff....if anybody turns out a usable screenplay, I want my 25%...LOL....boredom can make you think of some weird sh*t....its what happens when you work night shift....
  • Larry
    oh, wait wait wait...the trailer shows up in theaters and nobody knows who made it or where it came from... the clues are to lead you to more bits of the film if you can find them...the film clips turn out to be a warning sent back in time from the future in an effort to try and prevent the hiddeous/horrendous happenings shown on the trailer...that is why they look so real...they are real...this steals a bit from John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness" which is definately a movie that deserves a fresh remake....great story line...very original....I hope my ramblings arent getting anyone angry for being off topic....this has really been a lot of fun for me...
  • Larry
    getting back on topic, has anyone thought of or discussed this....there is much that can be assumed just from the last scene with the SOL head....it isnt simply knocked over because it is in the way, as in most "giant monster" movies....think about it....the head is literally ripped off of the SOL's shoulders and either carried some distance first, or just thrown from that spot....but the big ppoint here is that IT IS THROWN, not just batted about....this is reminiscent of olden times when the barbarian hordes outside the city gate would launch the heads of captured enemy over the walls of the city ...IT IS A CHALLENGE...dumb beasts dont do things like this...thsi is an act that requires deliberation and forthought....so what does this tell us about the intelligence of this creature....just something that occured to me...I take it from the lack of responses that it is Saturday night ansd most of you are out on teh town enjoying some sort of social life....if so, have a good time...get home safe...be waiting to hear comments on my lunatic thoughts....
  • dudeman1
    Hell yes larry, i have thought about this. Why would some Monster just randomly rip off a statues head? Unless of course he is smart enought to realize the symbolic importance the statue has. I dont think a regular creature would do this. Obviously this beast must have some intelligence. This is a good lead for a possible bible revelation type monster story
  • Larry
    cool...glad someone else saw that...aside from the question of a higher intelligence, it also points to the fact that this beast/creature has some good degree of manual dexterity...hands of some sort....opposable thumb sort of deal in order to grab something and throw it...which brings me to wonder just what kind of amphibian life form could evolve to this level....so, all of this leads me to think that the monster is going to be a bit more sophisticated than your regular Godzilla type...and I like dudeman's idea about the bible revelation thing...what ever the creature is, it is not just stumbling around, breaking sh*t up in blind rage...it is THINKING about what it is doing...it is pissed off and it is here with a purpose, not here by accident...the throwing of the head was a challenge, plain and simple....waiting to hear your thoughts...
  • dudeman1
    wow, now if we would have all stayed on track here from the get go we would have some great ideas and theories going. Definately from what we know the beast is Intelligent, Probably amphibious, definately pissed off, has reason and meaning. Warbloid and all those other false sites just destracted us. Im kind of unsure as to the legitimacy of the myspace characters though, because Mike Vogel (an actor) has an official website saying he plays Jason Hawkins (Robs brother) and an official some what suspicious post on his official website says "A MySpace page for Mike's character "Jason Hawkins" has surfaced on the internet along with pictures with his co-stars. Wanna be Jason's friend?" It says "Has Surface" meaning that the people running Mikes site dont know who is running the myspace accounts. You can check it out here http://www.mike-vogel.com/ The myspace characters could be just as fake as warbloid was
  • Larry
    the whole deal on the myspace characters is something I cant follow from where I am ...AF server has myspace on the sh*t list...ACCESS DENIED.....same for some of the other "clue" sites....so I have just been trying to contribute whatever I can based on my own imagination and love of horror/sci fi/monster movies....it is a lot of fun for me as I have nothing better to do from now til nidnight...bottom line for me is that it is going to be on the line of something "foretold of" in an ancient legend, the bible or something of that nature....beyond that I am pretty much stalled out....my greatest hopes are that JJ has sincerely come up with something that is brand new and wont leave us feeling like pinheads for having spent the time and money to go see it....
  • Phenox1707
    In my opinion, it's a very good thing that you can't see some of the clues. Because of this, you're leads are more fictional than ours, and come on, this is J.J. Abrams we're talking about here. We need the input of people who deal more with fiction then the facts that we usually deal with. Larry's contributions might lead us to more clues in the future that we couldn't think about before. Anyways... I'd like someone to explain a bit about the whole "Bible Refrence". I'm an agnostic, so I haven't read the bible. I am a tad interested in it, though. I'd also like to add my two cents about the monster. We know this: -Big -Strong -Some manual dexterity In reality, thats it. I can't say for sure that it is aquatic, and we really can't start to fathom a description of it. One of the misconception's I've just noticed is that many people say that the explosion in the trailer was the surfacing of the monster from underground. This may not be true. New York City is a very large, populated area. There's bound to be telephone wires and gas pipes everywhere. And there's the explosion: The monster is meandering the streets, and cuts an electrical wire with his massive foot. The wire spirals out of control and hits a gas pipe, and it explodes. That's about all I've thought of. -Four Horsemen-
  • Larry
    thanks...I do hop eI am able to contribute to all of this...for my own part, I am not at all a religious person but I have heard of references to "end of days" stuff from the bible and other religious writings...so my mention of it was nothing more than another loose tidbit to consider...someone with a better kowledge of biblical things would be good to talk on this one...the only reason I mention amphibian is due to the Slusho connection and all the "bottom of the sea" stuff from there...and the explosion....personally, I think it is more than just some gas lines.....it has a "weaponry" look to it...like another tool the creature has at his disposal along with the obvious strength of its size alone...JMO....

    oh shit..... The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the forces of man's destruction described in the Bible in chapter six of the Book of Revelation, the Original Greek ?????????? ??????? (Apokalupsis I?annou), "Revelation Of John". The four horsemen are traditionally named after the powers they represent: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. However, this is slightly at odds with the conventional interpretation of the Bible, which actually only directly names the fourth: "Death". 1. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and saw a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand. 6. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. ” sorry, drinking again.. :)

    sorry, my internet really fucked up
  • Larry
    I've had some of my most prolific thoughts brought out by partaking of a few (?) beers....really good idea...I knew there was something like that out there...just didnt kno wwhere...I would give it good points as a possibility...and even if it is wrong, hell of an idea anyway...
  • dudeman1
    i really didint mean to post that like 4 times. Anyways, my first thought seeing the trailer was more toward apocalypse in regards to the book of revelations. I am not however that religious, but those were my first thoughts, and i cant even explain why. But again, didnt meant to post that repeatedly, firefox was being an R-Tard
  • H.P.
    Now you guys know the reason for my naming this group the four horsemen. Essentially the beast would be the symbolic and physical herald of the four horsemen. As far as the intelligence of the monster let's look to our friend Cthulhu or as I have dubbed him JJthulhu. He comunicates with all living things through his death slumber. I would imagine that whatever they are mining at the bottom of the ocean would eventually get used up. Maybe it is something that was making the monster sleep. So in the end maybe slusho is the weapon. As far as the statue of liberty. He knows how important it is. He knows everything. Larry sounds like ya got goonies 2 on your hands. You should send it in cause I hear they are struggling with a script for that one. I would put a new set of goonies in with data owning an electronics store in astoria. Sloth has passed away and all the original goonies are brought together. It's perfect cause from what I understand the guy who played sloth actually did pass away. Phenox Ill do one better Ill send you the official first few pages. I got about twenty five. 4-Horsemen
  • Larry
    goonies 2....never thought of that...didnt know there was one being considered...oh yeah, thats right..John Matuzak the ex football player was Sloth...he did pass away some time after doing the goonies...anyway, I was thinking more in terms of people on this site, like the Horsemen, me, dudeman1, etc...pulled together by some really farout circumstances much the way SK draws his groups of adventurers together...the associations are really far out...anyway, it was just something that hit me while I was pondering over some of this stuff...dont think I could come up with anything actually worth sending in...my story was aimed at being a bit more terrifying than the goonies....you know, real "hell on earth" stuff....oh well, 2 1/2 hours to go...so keep it rolling guys....lots of time yet to think of things....
  • slash
    its godzilla cause someone says ITS ALIVE ITS HUGE so this should be something that NY people already knew and its back again. also the movie poster, shows the statue of liberty with three scratches on the back, and the sound that we hear is a litlle bit familiar with the first godzilla movie..if you remenber at the end of godzilla an egg is shown intact...so i think its a Godzilla sequence...
  • Denisse
    Ughhhhhh! Read. Prior. Posts. Before. Posting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As to the rest of you guys (you know who you are): Totally off topic. But I've been reading everything since the beginning on this site. Posted some shit here and there. Nothing that was ever as meaningful as all of your insights and ideas but i look forward to reading this ALMOST everyday. haha. I got a lot of my friends hooked as well. Just wanted to thank you guys. Thanks! :) Back on topic: I too believe that the film does have an apolocalyptic feel to it. Also with the trailer, I believe that Abrams wanted to kind of scare the shit out of us and show us the close reality of what could really happen (hence the personal camera footage, our country's symbol of freedom destroyed, etc.) A while ago I had this thought, that i'm sure many of you have had, that all these clues on the slusho site, etc., give you many, sometimes too many clues as to various creature (or monster story plot possibilities-Cthullu, Godzilla, Leviathan, Ziz, Behemoth, Bloop, etc.-whatever this or these monster(s) are have all or most of the characterisitics that these monsters have. That for all we know Abrams wanted this monster to knock off the head of the Statue of Liberty as a symbolism of what we destroy ourselves (through war, disease, poverty, etc.) Ok ok. Enough. sorry I began to ramble guys for all i know this monster could possibly be the government haha. Anyway, looking forward to reading more of your stuff. Later. :-)
  • H.P.
    welcome denisse. Is your name really spelled with two S cause that's really unique. I would be interested on how you pronounce that. I thank you for the kind words. There is another mb on first net but even though they have more posts we are still way ahead of them as far as thinking outside the box. This is kinda off topic but if anyone plays warcraft let me know.
  • DeniSSe
    haha...yes it's Denise with an extra S.
  • dudeman1
    just throwing this out there... I was really drunk last night :) Sorry, that was off topic too, infact, i think i am still drunk. Damn, and I wish Slusho was real
  • Phenox1707
    I've been doing stuff all day, so what I'm about to say might be horribly off. I'm a bit exhausted... anyways: Slash- Although I hate the fact that you've posted that theory without reading at least ten of the original posts, you're comment did give me an idea. He does say "It's alive, it's huge!" I listened to it again from the trailer, and it made me think... JJ said it'd be completely original, but yet, he said "It's alive"... Maybe there's reference to this monster somewhere else, or maybe it is just something that we don't conceive to be a monster on a daily basis. Think about it. Usually, when some thing is attacking you, you don't comment on whether it is alive or not. And I know that I personally wouldn't say anything but scream and run for my life. Something's fishy there... I decided to view the trailer again, and I just noticed a few things. About 23 seconds in, it shows a girl taking a sip of her drink. Behind her, it looks like there are a few letters pinned to tiles against the wall. All I can see is "LI". Probably nothing of importance, though... About 26 seconds into the trailer, when Jamie (Not too sure on that) is talking, there's a picture on the fridge (Again, not too sure what it is) that looks like a bear or something... Probably completely irrelevant, but again, I just noticed it. While everyone's at the party, the first roar happens. It shows the lights go out, and the room is pitch black. Yet, just after this scene, it shows a few people's faces and some movement before the lights go back on. Where is the light coming from? Can't be the moon, because it showed the entire room go pitch black during the first roar. That's about it. -Four Horsemen-
  • Larry
    pardon my breech of etiquet...but there was precious little posting going on at that time anyway...so a few of us took liberties to keep some form of conversation going...time enough to get back on track...from a personal standpoint I believe it is a dead end...Denisse's comment has been mentioned previously and I dont think it has been followed as far as it can go...could be the best and/or only road left...good luck detectives...i will watch from here and see what turns up....a nice cold beer will kill the pain, dudeman....take care...
  • Larry
    sorry about that ...I meant to reference the new line of thought brought up by Phenox, not Denisse...I agree with the idea that it may turn out to be something that would not have been thought to be alive but now is...I dont know NYC so I dont know what things could fall into this catagory....any other famous statues out there that would make for a good monster if it were to became somehow animated??????
  • dudeman1
    hmm Phoenox you do have an interesting point on the whole "its alive" thing. I am currently watching it in super slow mode. That is a bit strange how it gets pitch black, then suddenly there is a little bit of light before the power comes back on. Somewhat eerie, I hadn't really paid to much attention to that before. Also, clearly something happened outside because everyone is crowding the windows. Kind of strange, at :44 seconds in, the girl says "It sounded like an animal" if you happen to watch that part slow, or pause it on her, it does not look as though she is actually inside the apartment. THen again she could be standing near a giant window or something. SOrry, got off track there. Way off track, ive been watching the trailer and been on google earth for about on hour trying to decide where the explosion takes place. I came to the conclusion its right near the New York Stock Exchange. Dont know for sure, but it seems to be pretty damn close. Also, the SOL Head seems to come almost straight down Broadway, which leads straight to Battary Park by the ocean. Battary park has a great view of the SOL, however, I do not believe the creature threw it from Liberty Island, because Broadway is not in direct line of sight. Seeing how the head sort of comes in from the left side of the screen also makes me believe the creature did not throw it from liberty island, because Liberty Island from the camera's point of view would be to right and again no direct line of sight from Liberty Island down broadway street. Ok. im done lol sorry
  • Larry
    to add to your post, dudeman, I say the fact that the SOL head is CARRIED some distance before it is thrown is significant in itself as far as getting a feel for the creatures "personality"....it presents us wth a thinking monster...a monster issuing a challenge in the style of the barrbarian hordes of long ago...pretty heavy attitude for a monster...what ya think???
  • dudeman1
    just pokin around the slusho.jp site. I was reading the history, something caught my eye. Probably nothing, but maybe? "He re-joined his cousin, and combining the incredible drink making knowledge of NOriko's business with the New ingrediant Slusho! Came to Life" Now saying Slusho came to life in context means they made the drink. But maybe Slusho actually came to life. maybe slusho is the monster? I know we have said stuff like the ingrediant in slusho has something to do with the monster. But maybe Slusho is a monster, and thats where the drink ingrediant comes from, but Slusho has to stay cold/ frozen. Dont really know where im going with that anymroe im getting off track. But what if the Monster is actually named Slusho?
  • Matthew
    after slowly wearing down my left-click button through hitting pause: The girl is standing with a window to the left, and a wall to the right. We all know that when you turn the lights off it takes your eyes a little while to adjust, so the blackening of the screen may be to simulate what it would be like at the party and suddenly have the power go off. Also it leaves us alone with nothing but this noise, allowing us to focus on it more. Then of course the director wants us to see the confusion and (perhaps) fear on peoples faces after having heard this unearthly noise, which he can't do with a black screen. Maybe this is baby godzilla's return to the big screen since his debut appearance in 1998? maybe not. it does indeed look slightly too apocalyptic to be godzilla.
  • Larry
    Hmmmm....OK, try this one on for minute...I have only had limited tim eto explore teh Slusho site and saw the standard stufff...so I dont know if this has already been discussed or not...is there a logo that represents Slusho, like some kind of cartoon creature that was drawn up for the sales campaings for Slusho??? I'm thinkign that what ever it is that "ITS ALIVE, ITS HUGE" is something that is familiar to the general public and simplpy not supposed to be alive??? I am not making much sense am I???...I mean like the STA_PUFT marshmallow man in Ghostbusters coming alive...or a giant Michelin Man...or even The Jolly Green Giant...some icon known to the public that simpply should not be running around loose...do you see anything to go with on that ???
  • Phenox1707
    Another thing from the Slusho website. "Slusho is people." Chocolate milk is chocolate syrup and milk put together. Without them, it'd be nothing. Slusho is people. Without them, it'd be nothing. This **could** mean that if slusho is a monster, it is made up of people, or is fueled off of people... no? Just a thought off of dudeman1. Thanks. -Four Horsemen-
  • Larry
    that was probably the dumbest post I have made so far...forget about it...I think anything that takes us down the "cartoon track " of anything at all in the Godzilla/King Kong/Voltron etc....is just way wrong...I think this is going to be something that will give you real chills when you find out what it is...none of these "cutsey pie" little creatures that they are so fond of in Japan and Europe... I think they have come up with something genuinely SCARY.... absolutely apocolyptic...I am all out of anything remotely intelligent to offer so I will sit back and watch for while.....
  • dudeman1
    Matthew, its not a godzilla film, or a baby godzilla film. I agree with the whole its alive thing. Because the dude sounds surprised whatever it is is Alive. And perhaps slusho is a symbiote of some sort? Makes you happy. Also, ive been taking the Slusho! Zoom! to litterally and been zooming in on everything lol, havnt got anywhere with that just so you know
  • geezer
    i dunno phenox im gonna have to argue a bit with your "its alive" post i've seen people say "it's alive" in the old black & white "giant animal attacks city" flicks. which kinda makes me think that the monster is an oversized animal of some sort that usually isn't so freakishly huge. and if the new yorkers see something that big out of nowhere, im pretty sure they're gonna think its fake, or that they are hillucinating, which would explain why the guy states that it is alive
  • Larry
    OK....Slusho is a front or a mask for a "black ops" laboratory...U.S more than likely with participation/cooperation from the Japanese....some radical DNA/cloning experiments go catastrophicaly wrong...we wind up with an enormous creature derived from human/animal/??? experimentation....the human element is what makes it so dangerous because of the inherent intelligence and emotional factors...end result is we have a really evil minded creature that more than likely has a real grudge against the human race and is coming to kick major league ass on NYC....what ya think??? or should I shut up and go back to work????
  • H.P.
    Good point Larry. I think this might be where the lost tie in comes into play. What if the Hanzo Foundation plays a role in all this. What if the island was a hideout for slusho operations. Also dudeman you missed something on the zooming. Go to the store section. All the characters are on a runway. Zoom in on the monkey wearing the slusho shirt. What's that behind the cup? Looks like a tail to me. I have to agree with geezer on the whole "It's alive, It's huge" stuff. JJ has said himself that this movie will be a return to the good old fashioned monster movie. I do remember hearing It's alive in many corny monster movies or something to that effect.
  • Cowpattybill
    Wow, alot happened over the weekend. I took me 35 minutes to read it all. My strength is in research, not putting clues together to form a theory. I'm at a loss here. Since warbloid became a bust I have no where else to go so I think I might, like Larry, sit back for awhile and jump in from time to time.
  • Phenox1707
    Actually, Cowpattybill... Like you said, your strength is in research. If you have the time, can you review the trailer and maybe look through Slusho again, just to see if we missed any details? Anything at all that catches your interest would be appreciated... -Four Horsemen-
  • DeniSSe
    Larry, you're definately on to something...doesn't the ingredient for slusho cure cancer and shit like that? I'm pretty sure just like how we test on animals for certain medications for cures and such, I wouldn't put it passed this secret ops group to experiment with a human in order to cure some disease. hmmm.
  • France113
    That it passes boys, didn't they notice??? that this movie of under budget, is bad re… does JAJAJA…y leave in the trailler… do I give him an example… did they see the head of the Statue of the Libertadad, doesn't he/she have the proposion and the size of the Original one (that is 10 times but Big) and if they notice well… is there But… Obviously they do have to discover it you.

  • DeniSSe
    huh? Better English, ami!
  • Cowpattybill
    Yes, I can review the trailer. I don't have sound though. This is sometimes better because I am able to concentrate more on the visual stuff and not be distracted by audio. I have heard the trailer with sound before but not the slusho site. I see there is an audio on/off switch on the site but I can't hear either way so I don't mess with it.
  • H.P.
    Yeah.....um...right on france113 whatever you just said. I think what frenchie is trying to say is that the head from the statue of liberty is from a replica and it is not size appropriate. That has already been discussed. Post 952 touches on this concept. Maybe Rob is gonna be a slusho tester. If his brother Jason already works there then maybe he is the one who got Rob the job. Maybe Jason is a scientist who already knows that slusho is seemingly safe and tips big brother off by giving him samples and getting him and his friends hooked. Also if you look close in the trailer (looks like the singer from yellowcard) he is serving drinks. Maybe this cameo is significant. Maybe he is serving some slusho Jason sent from Japan. I think the factory powder form is mixed with alcohol and creates a new drug. -The 4 Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    Okay, I looked at the trailer again, frame by frame and I have only a couple things to note. 1. When the lights go out they must be out for some time because although it appears to be only a couple seconds, when the lights do come back on the cameraman is in a completely different part of the apartment. Maybe he just turned but I don't think so. 2. On the rooftop (and this has been mentioned before) there is a building in the background that is lit up with green lights. I don't know which building it is but I remember someone saying that it is only like up like that at Christmas time and St. Patricks day. Since it is all green it was suggested that this occurred around St. Patricks. 3. When they are running down the stairs after the debris starts falling a bald black person is running through the doorway from what appears to outside (judging by the flash of light and smoke) but I don't think it's the same doorway Rob and crew ran through because the light and smoke should be on the other side of the doorway. 4. The order of people running down the stairs keeps changing. The bald black guy was between Rob and the slusho shirt guy, then he's gone, then the cameraman is ahead of Rob. 5. There are an awful lot of people out on the street at that time of night. I saw only one person in a bathrobe, everyone else is dressed and there are just alot of them. 6. It's been mentioned before but I'll mention it again. It's January (supposedly) but it sure is warm out. People are in shorts, no jackets, no snow on the ground. Just seems weird. Anyway, that's all I got. Do with it what you will.
  • eltel
    left behind ?
  • H.P.
    Left behind? They already made a movie for that piece of shit novel. I remember seeing an ad for it way back. I think Kirk Cameron was in it. Anyway eltel you got alot of research to do if you think it's Left Behind.
  • dudeman1
    hopefully this goes thor8ugh. My commnets usually dont go through at work. The building lit up green is the woolworth building in lower manhattan. Dont know if that has any significance. Again it looks like the explosion happans down by the NYSE. People out late, the only thing i can think of for that is the explosion, but then again no one in night clothes which is strange. Weather, 63 degrees on mid january in New York. Strange. Global Warming, or maybe it has to do with the monster?
  • Cowpattybill
    I liked the premise of the series, thought the writing was sub-par.
  • Cowpattybill
    The movies were just awful.
  • Cowpattybill
    However, going completely off-topic, I did see a good christian movie last night. The acting wasn't great but the story was awesome. It was called "Facing the Giants".
  • dudeman1
    ok Cowpatty. 1. Dont have an answer, agree that light goes out. I actually think the camera even blacks out because there seems to be some sort of illumination in the room. I dont believe that it ever goes completly pitch black, i think its either the trailer cutting seens or the camera blacking out 2. The green building behind the black dude with funky hair talking to Hawk, is the Empire State Building 3. Just noticed something about the running down the stairs scene... It appears that Rob grabs the camera... but then they are outside and he doesnt have it. JUst noticed that. I just re watched it, and it appears that Rob is running up the stairs as there is a person running down the stairs. Perhaps the video camera guy fell down and Rob went back for him to help him up? As for the bald black dude, I think he just hauled ass down the stairs but I believe it was the same door he must be slow or something. 4. I Think people area just frantically trying to get outside 5. The mass of people in the street is strange. The only thing i can come up with that is somewhat logical is that the first roar happened and woke everyone up. We dont know exactly the time of the explosion happening either, so Im assuming the roar woke them up or there was some event going on lol. I really dont know. 6. Its January in NY, should be alot colder. Obviously everyone dressed appropriately, and the news even said 63 degrees. I think this has been touched on before but remains unanswered for now. My guess its probably global warming or just unusually warm. Perhaps the warmth has something to do with the monster also, refering back to Slusho, how the ingrediant must stay cold. Thats my thoughts.
  • Larry
    has there been any discussion as to teh various pictures/artwork on the walls of the party place??? I dont have anything really good for trying to get a better look at the film frames...but my opinion at this stage of things is that 1) the fireball explosion 2) the roar and subsequent throwing of the head are the most revealing events of the trailer...it is possible that there are not as many things to be discovered has been led to believe....it may be that of the facts that are now known, that is all there is...I think we may be unable to see the forrest because the trees are in the way...JMO...
  • dudeman1
    I agree with you Larry, we obviously have to wait to figure what really happens and what not. But, while we wait, why not pick it apart to the bone lol
  • Larry
    but of course... by all means do not give up...just saying that maybe everyone is trying to look too deep, too hard a some of the clues...its sorta like when you look too closely at something you just dont see anything...but if back up and take in the scene from a larger perspective, sometimes you see something that you missed before...I still say the fireball and the "challenge" need serious consideration...that is not just some gas lines erupting...way too huge and just not the right degree of random dispersion...that was a very controlled explosion/detonation of something...then again, maybe it is just utility lines...seems they woulkd not be so dramatic it it were...getting punchynow...not enough sleep in between shifts... but still game to keep playing...
  • geezer
    i was on 1-18-08.com looking at all the pictures again to see if i could find anything new. i didn't really find anything extravagent, but i did notice how on the second pic with writing on the back (the one with lascana and rob) has a blur on the words "and wide". i thought about why it would have a blur on just those two words and i came up with this. the blur is supposed to symbolize a shaking movement, like a quake, and the words "and wide" mean just that, world wide. Quakes world wide, before the monster appears there was that huge quake and if there are quakes all over the world there is most likely more than one monster, every continent or country or city etc. has it's own monster which causes a quake before making it's appearance
  • dudeman1
    They did just finish filming in LA....
  • larry coffey
    possible....the blur is there but barely discernable....at this point who knows??? I think very possiblity has been worked over at this point...might need another trailer to supply more hints/clues in order to take it any further...it has been great fun watching you all unravel the various clues to this point...I will continue to watch and participate in whatever way I can...too late to stop now...got me hooked on the whole thing...keep up the good work...

    Just being a douche... CHOCOLATE WATER creates an OVERNIGHT POWER WRECK with CHEESE flavored SLUSHO! on 1-18-08. dont know, i have yet again, been drinking
  • Larry
    nice break in the monotony, dudeman....a drink sounds good soon as I get off work...that'll be midnight here on the west coast...yeah, ya never know where mindless rambling will take you on things like this...might even be a solution there somewhere...the CHEESE flavored SLUSHO sounds so ZAPPA-ish....it would be really cool to find clues to this in Frank Zappa songs.....now it sounds like I am the one who has been drinking....lol....
  • H.P.
    Hey geezer you should know better than to think it is more than one monster. I think the monster is so huge that it can just easily navigate all continents. As far as the temp being 63, I think the monsters body temp did that when it woke up. Think about it, if the monster is in a death slumber then I would imagine it's body temp would go down and if it awakens then It would slowly go back up. The Horsemen P.S. A Frank Zappa reference on a cloverfield message board, your the man Larry!!
  • Cowpattybill
    I think that Larry is right that the explosion and the roar are major clues. To that I would add the Statue of Liberty's head and the outside temperature. HP, I think there's alot of logic in your comment about the monster being the cause of the warm temp. I also agree that looking for tiny clues in the items in the apartment and stuff like that is digging too deep. I don't think Abrams put that much effort and thought into the trailer. Still, movie sets are designed to make statements about the character(s), or environment, or plot. This set may shed clues in those areas but I don't think it will tell anything about the monster or lead us to some other website or clue. However, it is fun to see what we can see. I like Larry's suggestion to change our perspective. How about instead we look for things (in the trailer and on the websites) that don't belong. Or things that should be there but aren't. Maybe that will provide clues to something.
  • DeniSSe
    jsut messing around lately with some stuff...especially on the actual date 1-18-08...probably nothing but found this site...I noticed some pretty major events happening during the 08's of the century (58, 68, 78...) like i said probably nothing. just thought i'd put that out there. http://www.brainyhistory.com/days/january_18.html i dont know.
  • Cowpattybill
    Wow, if I counted correctly this is my 122 post on this board. For lack of anything better to do I checked out the warbloid page again. It defaults to an error.htm page and I looked at the source for the page. Some odd fellows they are. Here's what some of it says (appears only in the source, not on the actual page): --marketing marketing marketing don't believe in marketing trust without verification is ineffectual--> Like I said, some odd fellers.
  • Cowpattybill
    Woops! I should have realized that if I put HTML code in a post it would treat it like HTML code and in this case, not show it. Let me try again: --time is no longer an option-- --transgression quickly gathers attention-- --one voice leads to the source you are beening mislead just as you were mislead here we are the only ones who have admitted to the truth transgression quickly gathers attention-- --pontificators forums and organizations are all knowing all seeing if you are not sure just ask them you will find nothing there just as you will find nothing here time is no longer an option-- --marketing marketing marketing don't believe in marketing trust without verification is ineffectual--
  • Larry
    hey gang...whats new??...i have seen it mentioned on here that there is a smaller SOL somewhere in the city and it is thought that is the head that has been thrown into the street...however the poster shows the original SOL missing its head...does this give anyone any ideas??? just wondering if anyone sees a possible clue here...other than that, no new thoughts here...c'mon, I got a long tiime to sit here til I get to go home...somebody post something....lol
  • Larry
    watch the trailer agian...when they are on the roof, the sound heard just before the fireball is quite different from the "calling-card" roar...could this be the beast "launching" whatever it is that makes the fireball/explosion??...only new thing I can come up with at the moment....
  • H.P.
    I believe it is launching the parasites that infect people. Refer to my theory post 967. Pick through it and feel free to question it.
  • dudeman1
    Although the parasite theory is a a pretty good one, I dont think the monster would be near an explosion that big to or create that big of an explosion around himeslf to launch parasites. Then again, maybe he laid an explosive egg.... Damnit, I cant think right now! BLEH I Give up. Im hoping friday we get some god damn answers
  • dudeman1
    maybe its Bad Robot the monster. And its going to just be a semi comedic monster flik, where the Monster can pretty much do what ever he wants because hes a bad robot and just blows shit up and creates mayhem and does it because he is a bad robot... while us little folks just run for our lives a bad robot will kill us... sorry, im done, i really am. AHH
  • dudeman1
    ok I wasnt done. just some SOL fact about the head for everyone. Thinking it may be a smaller statue head. Fact is, the head is only 10 feet ear to ear and 17 feet from chin to cranium. It just looks small because, well it isnt on the statue anymore. and we all have seen movies where the SOL head takes up like a whole street. The Trailers depiction of the SOL head is really accurate in size and dimension. Just throwing it out there
  • dudeman1
    also...lastly lol sorry how can we explain the explosion that occurs when the SOL head hits the 401 Broadway building?
  • H.P.
    Ok I think we need to get back to basics because I'm slowly becoming unhappy in here. The SOL head and the explosions are in my opinion irrelevant. I would like to see us get back to brass tax, Slusho, 1-18-08 pics, and hard visual clues in the trailer. I'm sure not every explosion in this movie will be logical dudeman. Also Bad Robot is the movie company. It's a monster not a robot lol!! Although I have speculated that a robot could battle off the monster in a final battle. The final call sheet does talk about a final battle between two HUDS. A HUD is just movie talk fo CGI characters. -The Four Horsemen- P.S. Like I said in a past post we gotta wait till mid November for the second trailer. It will be attached to Beowulf, which is the only big Paramount movie left to be released this year.
  • Cowpattybill
    Here's something I don't recall being discussed before. We've mentioned the big explosion seen from the rooftop and talked about what caused it but what about the original one, during the party. I don't know if it was an explosion but the building shook and the lights went out and the news channel suggested it was an earthquake. If the explosion seen from the roof was the monster coming up through pipelines or some sort of detonation as Larry suggests then what is the cause of the "earthquake"? Is it the monster coming alive? Or waking up? Or was the earthquake the monster coming up from underground and the rooftop explosion a detonation from the military trying to kill the beast? I dunno, just some thoughts.
  • Cowpattybill
    The flavors section is gone from the slusho site. The link is still there but instead of taking you there it just says slusho. Hmmmm, what gives?
  • Cowpattybill
    Nevermind, it's back. I don't know if it was really gone or if something was up with my PC.
  • H.P.
    I think the monster is just so loud that when it roars it causes an earthquake. How nuts would that be? I mean we are talking about something so huge that maybe we cannot even comprehend it. Also I had a dream last night that the movie's title was Boneface. In the dream I was watching the movie and Boneface is what I remember seeing as a title. Just thought I would throw that out there.
  • stevenash
    Just a thought... so if it's stupid or has already been addressed please don't be too mean to me...lol Just curious if anyone has went back to look at the Poster for anymore clues, possibley about the size or type of monster it actually is...I noticed that on the two buildings right off the water where the Monster entered into the city, that the two sides of the buildings are crushed/indented would this be the monster just destroying them or would have it been becuse the monster was so big that he could not fit thought the two buildings?
  • stevenash
    I think the best place to look at the poster is at apple.com under the Movie Trailer Section…
  • H.P.
    Wow stevenash!! I commend you on that observation. I been posting in here since the late 300's and I have never heard anyone bring that up. Usually people cooment on the claw marks on the SOL or this supposed hidden face in the clouds lol.
  • Cowpattybill
    New photo on 1-18-08.com!!!! Just kidding. I wish though. Nice call on the damaged buildings in the poster stevenash. It's hard to say whether it was caused by the girth (good word) of the monster or just general destruction. There are claw marks above it so it could've been a tight fit and had to dig its claws in to make it through.
  • dudeman1
    What about the Statue of liberty in the poster. I agree apple. com has the best image of the poster for sure. If you look at the claw marks on the SOL you can notice some stains that look similar to blood.....
  • bam
    actually i have the best image of the poster cuz i OWN the poster :D
  • H.P.
    Freakin bam. Finally all the horsemen back together..........

    I Cor.1:18 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us that are saved it is the POWER OF GOD.
  • dudeman1
    ....I agree, but I believe it is irrelevant to the movie. I believe for the movie sake the power of god is in the hands of the producers
  • Don Burson
    Possibility of what 1-18-08 is about Rev 1:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
  • geezer
    does anybody happen to be familiar with the buildings in front of the SOL in the poster? or atleast the island that is in front of the SOL i figured that if i can find out which island that is in front of her or the name of the second building the monster ripped through, i could estimate exactly how tall this beast is
  • H.P.
    Ok so about this dream I had the other night. I realized where "Bone Face" came from. That day I had purchased the new Animal Collective. The first track is titled "peacebone". In the very beginning of the song "Bone Face" can be heard muttered twice. Coincidentally the song is about a monster and even mentions New York in the lyrics. The lyrics are really strange. The video is even stranger. It's basically a girl and a monster on a date. At one point they go to coney island and the girl even pukes up black stuff (something I heard people do when they are infected by the monster). I urge everyone to check this video out and read the lyrics. P.S. I didn't want to go this far off topic, but I have a gut feeling. The band is native to New York City, and didn't the underground base in "Lost" have an animal collective
  • H.P.
    I was just thinking. If someone saw it and it was alive and huge then why can't you see what everyone is looking at. It's almost like they are looking at something that isn't there. This is not the case. They can see the monster coming, but the viewer cannot because the monster itself is much bigger than the buildings and since the buildings in New York are so towering you can't catch what's going on above them in one handheld shot like that. You would need multiple angle shots to show the monster. For instance to get a clear shot of the monster you would need to be on top of the empire state. This is why we may only catch glimpses of the monster throughout the film. It's just too big to film. It's kinda like an ant that can't comprehend how big we must look to them.
  • Cowpattybill
    Welcome back bam. H.P. are you serious? How weird is that? A song that has lyrics and a video that are similar to the events of this movie. Did the song & video get produced after 1-18-08 was announced? Is there a connection between this band and Abrams? Seems too random a clue to be a connection but yet it seems to similar not to be. I don't know what to make of it.
  • Cowpattybill
    I found this at projectcloverfield.com All right ladies and gentlemen, we have something that looks legit. A person at unfiction discovered it. It looks like a dog, sounds like a dog and barks like a dog, so it probably is a dog. Go to http://www.jamieandteddy.com and click on the picture. It will ask for a password, the password is jllovesth. It will take you to a video that Jamie Lascano (the girl who wrote the caption on one of the pictures on 1-18-08.com) is making for her boyfriend Teddy, who is away. Give it a second because Jamie still has the cover on the lens. It will come off, she will speak about how she missed teddy and what not. After, she thinks she turned it off but the camera keeps rolling. She complains about possibly having another bladder infection and requests cranberry pills from another 1-18-08 character, Marlena (I think that’s her name). I am pretty sure that was put in for a reason. The speculation at this point is that the bladder infection has something to do with Slusho. Anyways, go watch the video and comment on what you think!! Finally we have something!! I haven't looked at it yet so I don't have an opinion yet. I don't think I can open .mov files but I'll try.
  • Cowpattybill
    It appears to be her so it looks legit. Cloverfieldclues.com has the story on how the site was discovered.

  • Cowpattybill
    H.P., I've seen that one in post 1146 before. I studied it at length at the time and I think he is being thrown into the air by an object that the SOL head hit or something similar to that. I don't think he is jumping in the air.
  • Crazyboy
    http://www.1-18-08.com/ ok I just fig something out about this THE PICS FLIP OVER!!!! & some have words on the back LIKE 1. Dont forget who takes care of you!! Love J 2.

Love Jamie BUT!!! wait a moment if the pics where taken the same night this went down how did they wirte on the backs of them...and if the the city was under attack how are you still going to write TAKE CARE & IM GONNA MISS THE HELL OUT OF YOU... and for the people that are slow the pic that Jamie signed dosen't have Jamie in the pic it has LASCANO,PLATT And ROBBIE...soo??? and both are signed with a J..... well Jamie & J and if J is Jamie the handwriteing is not the same SOOO who is J? hell for that matter who is Jamie?? ok ok so to get the pics to flip make sure the one you want to flip is on top and no other pic is on top of it....press and hold the left mouse button and shake the pic just little.. P.S. not all the pics have words on the back BUT this is as of 10:00am Sep. 13th 2007...as we all know the site keeps getting updates THAT IS ALL myspace.com/crazyboy_cali
  • DeniSSe
    That guy is clearly (well somewhat clearly) just getting the f*** out of the way from getting smashed by the head of the SOL. He jumped on the car's hood and jumped off landing on the other guy (that was in his way). And these Warbloid fuckers clearly are the one's that need to get laid. lol. anyway, hi boys!
  • DeniSSe
    I'm sorry for being rude...but recently it's been more and more apparent that people either can't read or have been sleeping in a cave for the past few weeks... we know! :)
  • H.P.
    Not to disrespect Crazyboy, but what were you thinking when you posted that. I mean come on man there's over a thousand posts in here. That's really old news. I must say we pull out all the stops in here and have touched on just about every legitimate clue. If your this late in the game I would just go through this blog a bit if I were you. However if your not really that immersed then I apologize, but this place is for the hardcore Slusho Heads. Cowpatty, have you checked out the peacebone video yet? I wouldn't say there is a profound connection between the lyrics, but they are worth checking out.
  • Cowpattybill
    Uhh no, I haven't checked out the Peacebone video yet. You see, I have no TV. Well, I have a TV but no cable or reception. I use it only for watching DVD and tapes. I know, maybe I'm the caveman. So let's see. I have no sound, no internet connection at home, no cable or TV reception, and I don't read the newspaper. How the heck do I keep up with all this 1-18-08 stuff? Good question. I use my mother-in-law's computer if I need sound or to check email and I use the one at work to keep up with this stuff. It's a rough life but someone has to live it. Is this video available online somewhere and the lyrics as well?
  • H.P.
    yeah it's on you tube. For the lyrics just google peacebone lyrics.
  • H.P.
    This is from phenox. In my opinion, the indents are from the monster's path of destruction through the city. If they were general destruction, they would be either slash marks or the building would not be standing.
  • H.P.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-18-08 According to this wiki entry Rob is not the main character. Very interesting.
  • Cowpattybill
    Actually, I'm pretty sure Michael Stahl-David is Rob and Mike Vogel is Jason. IMDb has it wrong. They say Mike Vogel is Rob. Mike's official website is mike-vogel.com and there it says that he is playing the part of Jason.
  • H.P.
    That's very unlike IMDb. I figured with a movie of this magnitude they would have it right.
  • Cowpattybill
    I'm not the first to say it's wrong. I've read it in several places.

    Jessica Lucas is the hot black chick seen at the party and seen on the street right before the SOL head comes flying out. She is also the face on the right of the two faces seen looking up in shock on that picture at 1-18-08.com. She was in 'Life As We Know It' and 'The Covenant'. Irrelevant as this may seem, I just had to throw it out because I absolutely adore her!
  • dudeman1
    Good Enough lol I realized something today. I bought a 6 pack of beer... I know, i drink Alot, but after the 6 pack I realized, you CANT drink just 6! Crazy, so I went and bought an extra 24. Just letting you know that the Slusho! Slogan works in Life
  • Cowpattybill
    I subscribe to the theory that the 2 girls in the pic on the 1-18-08.com site looking up are acutally the same girl split in half and photoshopped together.
  • DeniSSe
    That video of that chick Jamie on the jamieandteddy.com site is just about the dumbest thing I've ever seen...lol. Is there a teddy in the movie?
  • H.P.
    The girl could have a twin sister in the movie, which would provide a sensible explanation for the photo shopped pic. I mean why else would they do that. Also I noticed something in the pic of Rob pounding down a drink. Looks like whatever he is drinking is red. I mean it could be wine or something, but who chuggs wine like that. It just seems kinda silly. Plus I think that same chick can be seen in that pic.
  • Cowpattybill
    H.P. I read the lyrics and saw the video. I'm not musically inclined and have no idea how to write lyrics for a song but in my opinion the lyrics made no sense whatsoever. Also, I must say, without sound the video was a very odd & trippy thing that kinda made me feel sick. I didn't like it at all. I have a slight look of disgust on my face at the moment. But hey, research is research. I do not believe it has anything to do with 1-18-08. Not that you said it did.
  • Cowpattybill
    I agree that the chick is in the picture of Rob drinking. I believe she is the creepy looking one on the right with what looks like a white "6" on her shirt. I don't think it really is a 6, it just looks that way.
  • Cowpattybill
    Or maybe it's a 9 or an 8.
  • Cowpattybill
    But again I don't really think it's there, just looks like that.
  • HulkingUp
    lol Dudeman1 that does indeed apply to beer, "you can't just drink six!"

    dudeman1, you're a man after my own heart...no way no how , just drink 6....lunacy....anyway, just getting back to the posts after my "weekend"...on a 24/7 swing shift I get Wed/Thur....not much but better than nothing...missed seeing everyones new ideas...I cant access the videos and such from here at work so I am at a loss to contribute to those new lines...in trying to catch up toi where everyone else is now I wold say that the only real clues are the trailer and the poster...unless some more websites pop up with info on them...Now, I must beg your indulgence on this one but I have kind of lost track on what exactly we are searching for....was there mention of definate facts to be discovered about the movie through all of this or is it something that just sprang up in the ranks of JJ fans??? I do beg forgiveness of my ignorance bgut I kind of jumped in here after a quick scan of the earlier posts...so, Friday night and I have NOTHING to do but sit here at work and wait for new posts to ponder....

    hi everyone, I've been lurking about this site for a few days just reading posts and trying to gather information about this movie. I was far to shy to add any of my own comments, but i've finnaly plucked up the courage to join in! what iv'e been wondering,and I'm sorry if this was already answered somewhere, is how slusho was first tied in with this movie?
  • Dan
    OMG!!!!!!!! I FOUND SOMETHING!!!!! i took some clues off of Jamie Lascano's mysoace and figured something out people on fourms have come up with a site http://www.jamieandteddy.com now on that site theres a a video that requires a password looking at her myspace again i got more clues and figured the pass jllovesth JL Loves TH JL = Jammie Lascano TH = Teddy Hanssen (Mentioned in video and on her myspace) once the video starts..i couldnt believe it it was really her Jammie Lascano sititing on her bed talking into a camera. Talkin to a guy named Teddy Hanssen and how much she misses him an how good he sexes her up. And she talks about her friend (dont rememeber her name but the other girl main character that isnt Beth) wants her to get laid while he is gona and it wil make her feel better, which make sme think he is going to be gone for a long time, and ashe says no. and then she tells him bye and thinks the camera is off, and she askes her friend, which is out fo the room, if she has any more pills because she has a bladder infection. And then she realizes the camera is on and turns it off... this deff seems legit = ) check it out guys!!!!this site could be updated til the realeas of the movie

    the song that is playing in the background at robs party right before the quake is by this band named wolfmother, and the latin origin of their band name is Madrevius di lupovius which means "children born of the beast will steal the shadow of the forest and chase the stars from the night"

    dudes, I got wasted last night and after my 5th of jager (im making a movie documentary about it) I called 2 bitches for $200 a piece. When they got here we paid them, and I decided to take the bitch for a walk. Then went back to the apartment and I kicked them both out, it was funny, I was drunk. And then I watched the cloverfield trailer and i realized noone really talked about the sounds before the trailer starts. I mean, it sonds like a camera squeel or or something. Maybe that is a clue. Plus the paramountscreen is in a similar to telivision wave format....maybe it is a robot......
  • H.P.
    Please dudeman, you really should do yourself a favor and stop posting in here. You sound like a complete idiotic drunk. Oh and the sounds your hearing in the beginning of the trailer is a girl telling people to be quiet because Rob is coming and It's a surprise party. -The 4 Horsemen-

    dudeman, you crack me up...email me the juicy details at: lwcoffey@comcast.net now what is with post 1186??? seems to be connected to all of this in some way...but how??? biblical prophisies and stuff??? anybody going back to that theory???...I mean for my part I dont see why not....its not like it is taboo to use biblical themes in horror movies...they been doin' it forever....even back before movies...plays were quite often centered around some religious moral or philosophy....so in that case, anybody out there up theological myths and what not???? I got 8 hours to go with NOTHING to do...lets start something....
  • Larry
    OK…a quick look at biblical monsters on Google will sober you up fast…some weird people writing weird sh*t out there…but that is another story in itself…I am sure none of this is new but to explore the “bible monster” theory it makes for interesting reading…so here is just a sampling of stuff connected to Revelations…. “The book of Revelation is full of bad news about "things which must shortly come to pass" -- false prophets and bloodthirsty persecutors, a seven-headed red dragon and lion-sized locusts with human faces, a blackened sun and a blood-red moon, falling stars and collapsing mountains, earthquake and plague and famine, all leading to the Battle of Armageddon and the end of the world. Readers of Revelation in every generation since it was first reduced to writing in the first century have managed to convince themselves that the "Beast" of Revelation -- more commonly called the Antichrist, although the term appears nowhere in Revelation itself -- was one of the flesh-and-blood figures of their own times.” This looks really interesting at first glance but the more I read the more it just doesn’t plug in with the Slusho thing…Slusho takes us back to the Japanese style of horror films with Godzilla and his whole gang of cutesy pie little monster friends…save for the very first Godzilla ever made, I find none of them even remotely frightening…which brings me back to the question of….just what the hell are we looking for here???

    In my daily travels of other message boards I only found this: http://www.cloverfieldnews.com/2007/09/15/interesting-sketch-of-monster/ and for Larry, here's a transcript from the jamie video: "Ooh ahhh, oh YES, YES, YES, oooooh yes, right there, yes...." Oops, sorry. Wrong video. Here it is (from: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/) Here is the transcript for Jamie's video: Jamie: Seriously? How the heck do you get this stupid thing to work. It's recording.. Hey babe, It's Jamie and I just wanna let you know that this is probably one of the many many video messages you'll be getting from me, while you're away on your trip. And, I don't know, I just figure it would be a really good way for you to see my gorgeous face whenever you want. And I know you've only been gone a day, but I couldn't resist telling you how much I love you and how much our last night together was amazing. It was pretty "ridic". And I don't know, I miss you so much, I got you voice message earlier and it was really good to hear your voice. I just, it was weird. I was just talking to Marlena about you, and she sucks at talking about stuff like this. She's so negative, but she said "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else". But I don't want to get under anyone else but you, and you know that, so... and plus everyone knows that I'm a top girl, so you don't have to worry about that. Anyway, I can't wait to talk to you tomorrow and I just miss you, you know, I miss you like the sky misses the flowers, or is it the stars miss the sky? Whatever. I love you babe. Oh! And don't show anyone these videos. I swear to god, if this ends up on the internet, I will kill you. Jamie: I'm done Marlena [off camera]: How did it go? Jamie: Good. I think. Do you have anymore of those Cranberry pills? Marlena [off camera]: Yeah, why? What's up? Jamie: I'm getting another bladder infection.

    well, thank ya Bill...not sure what to make of it though...seems a lot of trouble to go to just to hook people into the whole thing...it would seem that the trailer will do that on its own...really awesome little piece of film...what the hell, it has been fun so far....hope it gets more interesting ...

    "The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

    "Then suddenly the clouds thinned and the stars shone spectrally above. All below was still black, but those pallid beacons in the sky seemed alive with a meaning and directiveness they had never possessed elsewhere. It was not that the figures of the constellations were different, but that the same familiar shapes now revealed a significance they had formerly failed to make plain."
  • Mike 8
    It would be great if it was some sort of Armagedon film, as it would be more interesting and scary than a monster attack film. However, I think this possibility is small, due to the lack of "biblibal" feel to the trailer, poster, and evidence discivered. I just hope it doesn't end up being a predictable un-inspired monster movie with a hell of a trailer.
  • Mike 8
    was supposed to be "biblical"
  • Mike 8
    cowpattybill, that's a very interesting monster sketch #1197. Honestly, I can't see that thing making the noise heard on the trailer. I wonder if anyone thought that "Dragon Wars" was the movie for this trailer. When is CGI going to be perfected? I'm sick of watching "cartoon like" effects in movies. 1-18-08 should stay away from fake looking CGI, or it could ruin the experience. By the way, I think 1-18-08 should remain the title for the movie.

    Ah, Lovecraft quotes.
  • Larry
    really an interesting image...it embodies many of the conclusions that we have arrived at through these discussions....enormous size, HANDS for throwing things, an amphibious look overall....but the one thing that is missing for me is ...the human element...from what I see in the trailer, this beast is pissed off and not just lumbering around smashing sh*t up because it is so big...that head is thrown into the city... just like a challenge in olden times...something a human would do...there must be a human element to all of this or the threat really isnt that great...a beast is just that...a dumb beast that acts out of instinct to survive...and that is shy I have a hard time with monster movies...I cant hate the monster...it is only a dumb beast out of its element and I inevitably feel sorry for it...but add the human element and now you have something to fear...most deadly predator on the planet is US....there must be some tie in to a human intelligence getting involved in here somewhere....just my thoughts...so have at it...what you all think???
  • Cowpattybill
    There definitely seems to be alot of similarities to Lovecraft. I myself am not at all familiar with him but I have read enough on this board to think that if nothing else Abrams was at least influenced by Lovecraft. Kind of, sort of, perhaps, maybe, a little bit.

    I'm here. I was working from a different location yesterday (the main office instead the usual satellite office so I wasn't at my normal desk and didn't really have access to the internet. Next week I'll be gone from Thursday Sept 27 until October 8th so hopefully nothing exciting happens during that time (no offense to you guys). So mark your calendars, someone else will have to scan the other message boards looking for info. Speaking of which, one of the sites I check regularly is projectcloverfield.com and it seems to be done right now. Also, this link: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/09/jamie-and-hud-in-trailer.html contemplates whether or not Jamie and HUD are in the trailer or perhaps it's Teddy and Jamie. That's it for today's episode of "What else it out there?" Stay tuned tomorrow for another exciting edition. Same time, same crap. Note to Abrams: New info please!

    OK, I've been gone a while on busniess, H.P. if you have my e-mail could you send me your general summary of whats going on theres no way i have time to read all that i have missed. It would be greatly appriciated my fellow Horsemen. I will try to read some of this today, but i am going to look around all the sites and catch myself up on them.

    uhhhh. you forgot about your friendly neigborhood alchoholic and Larry...
  • dudeman1
    Read the whole article.... they even have an old havked version of the old Apollo candybar website that was created during one of the seasons of Lost. The website is Strangely familiar to the Slusho website... references to 6, hot air baloons etc. and its just a corny looking page. Anyway, the Apollo candybar site was taken down a while back but it was officially linked to LOST. So uh, check out this article and check out the apollo chocolate site (they link to it there)

    oh well... heres some GREAT NEWS! We need to steal a copy of this movie soon, im going to be in Iraq starting January 1. (FOR A YEAR) F******* * *D*FSA *FDAN$#K:H@ KBH54 I2UBY5
  • Cowpattybill
    I'm very sorry to hear that dudeman1. I have a friend in Afghanistan (sp) right now and still has another year of a 1 1/2 year tour. I was in the Navy and went to Iraq as part of Desert Storm (yep, long time ago, guess we didn't do it right the first time) so I know what it's like to be away for so long (it was only 6 months for me though). It sucks. What also sucks is that you've been a part of this board for awhile now and have been involved in most of the discussion and so after all that you will miss the movie. Or at least have to wait awhile to see it. What's your job?
  • DeniSSe
    ...and occasionally me! Although I just read and every once in a while put a little somethin' somethin. It has been slow lately, but something should be surfacing soon, i feel it. lol Dudeman1, sorry to hear that, I give tons of a respect to people in your position...if i could i would definately try and get you a bootleg version from here in NYC. :-)
  • DeniSSe
    Am i the only chick here?? If i am, NICE!
  • H.P.
    Yeah denisse. You must be a pretty cool chick if your into stuff like this. What other stuff do you enjoy. Are you a horror movie fan. dudeman, although you come across as an crazy drunk at times don't misunderstand my respect for you and your position. I apologize if I insulted you in anyway. I just hate disrespect towards women. I would suggest downloading limewire if you have not already. I know 1-18-08 will be on there within the first month of release. Stay safe brother and keep us posted while your there.
  • DeniSSe
    I am an All-Movie fan. Mainly action-adventure (old japanese fighting films, oaters, mystery, war movies, and fantasy with TONS OF VIOLENCE) and horror (more so the gore-y and again, violent stuff.) And of course, can't forget the sappy shit nothing from recent stuff...mainly old 50's films for me. :-) my boyfriend thinks i am the biggest dork ever. i'm one of a kind though, if you saw me you'd never suspect it. lol. what interested me in 1-18-08 was the fuckin genius put into it...my friend asked me the other day..."What if you go see this movie and it sucks?" and i told him, "well if it does, (which i strongly doubt) then there is are shit load of good movie ideas on here and people better start copyrighting these sons of bitches!" lol
  • H.P.
    Very cool denisse. You def have great taste. I too am a fellow dork, geek, nerd...whatever. I'm a sucker for a dork chick (especially ones with black rimmed glasses and short flippy hair) lol. I like horror, sci-fi, Martial Arts, satire, comic movies. I really dig comics, music, video games, books, drawing, and writing. One day I might dabble in film, but I really would like to just collaborate with someone like Tim Burton. Also I'm interested to know what type of music you like. What are your fav bands. I can just tell the most about a person by the type of music they listen too. If you don't wanna clutter up the message board my email is carradinefan@yahoo.com -The Four Horsemen-
  • DeniSSe
    haha. cool H.P. mine is kilikus007@aol.com. With music i go through phases. Right now I'm at an electro phase.
  • dudeman1
    ok... this is kinda random, i was just sitting at work today and tried to find a connection between Cheese, chocolate, and Slusho. after pondering for a moment I realized something... Well...what happens when you heat either of these 3 things up? They all MELT. Take it where you can...melt
  • Cowpattybill
    Hmmm. Good point. I found another connection, when you eat them they all digest.

I don't like your choice of posting name. So is martyr445 your screen name. So when is the hidden imam coming back.....LOL. -The Four Horsemen-
  • HulkingUp
    WHEN IS THE NEW TRAILER COMING OUT COME THE FUCK ON!!!!
  • Cowpattybill
    There was a rumor in other boards that a new trailer would be in front of Resident Evil 4 which I think came out today. Anyone heard anything?
  • dudeman1
    Heard that rumor alot. However, Resident evil is not a Paramount movie. But shit, maybe I should go pay $9 just in case
  • Cowpattybill
    I'm sure if it was there someone would have posted something somewhere by now and I haven't seen anything so I doubt it was there. I think one of the horsemen knows someone who works in the theater business and if so I'm sure a quick phone call will confirm whether or not the trailer is there.
  • H.P.
    That would be me cowpatty. Unfortunately I had to sit through that piece of crap last night. I can say with 100% confirmation that there is no trailer on RE3 save your money. If your a hardcore Resident Evil fan like myself then you understand how much these movies suck. Also I wanna let everyone in on a little secret. I have said this before, but the new trailer will most def be on the Beowulf movie. So mark those calenders for Nov 16th!! -The Four Horsemen-
  • dudeman1
    I agree. What if they throw in a new trailer on say the Transformers DVD?
  • Larry
    OK gang....back on the job from my "weekend"...catching up on all the posts I missed...So, apologies now for off topic stuff... dudeman....sorry to hear the news bro...dont know what to say...f*&^%ing war....same sh*t when I was in Viet Nam....seems to just keep on going....if we put some of the politician's kids in uniform I bet this shitty war would have ended years ago...sorry for the rant....anyway, we can always hope something happens between now and then.... cowpattybill...you are truly a class act..."The Man from Nantuckett"....really goes along with my sense of impropriety throwing that in there with H.P.'s quotes....I love it... DeniSSe....movies were my only escape from a world that was quite overwhelming for a young child ...I ma in the same groove as you as far as my tastes go.... now for any of you goofballs that might want to correspond without munging up the board with off topic stuff... lwcoffey@comcast.net so, Friday night and I am all alone again???? somebody toss me a beer...I have a 12 hours shift tonight and tomorrow....working sucks....
  • geezer
    i took a page out of your book today larry,im a lil heavy off of some busch and limon juice, but anyway, anybody nocite that the sun is rising in the poster... isnt the monster supposed to be gone by morning time? and why in the hell is the sun rising in the north? or is it setting in the north? either way, that poster doesnt match up
  • Larry
    Uhhhhh....Hmmmmmm....not sure if I am seeing it, geezer...the poster I am looking at is hard to really tell what time of day it is ...it could be lighter over in the city because of the all the fires???? who knows...then again, you may have a good point...I have nothing better to do so I guess I will stare at the poster til 4 am...by then maybe I will begin to see things.....enjoy the beers....wish I could...

    Hi boys! I got nothing. Just this...which is...nothing http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21236 and http://11808.blogspot.com/2007/09/cloverfield-1-18-08-fun-today.html a little interesting. I think they're fake.
  • DeniSSe
    oh wait, they are fake. pretty good though.
  • dudeman1
    Yeah, those are very good. Im having trouble finding where they say they are fake though... That Adshell looks pretty legit
  • dudeman1
    Then again, im just so F***ing anxious that its making me very gullible and Ill pretty much believe anything that may seem legit. My oppinions have become clouded. Ill just see what everyone else thinks and go with that
  • Larry
    nice to see ANYTHING new at this point....fake or not...posters look pretty cool..I like the one with the eclipse or something going on...but just to throw my 2 cents in....I am truly dissapointed to hear more of this rumor about "little raptors" that flake off of teh big monster...YAAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNN....really gang, if that is the best they came up with for this movie it is going to be a terrible letdown...JMO...I keep hoping for something really NEW...not more "Jurrasic Park" gone wild BS.....
  • geezer
    jurrasic park gone wild was a pretty sweet porno.. just kiddin, im bored check out my videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6hT3kVp7KI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sTliu6wZO0
  • Larry
    thanks geezer, I wish I could but the sh*tty AF server blocks all mp3 and video stuff out there...dont want us playin' when we 'spoda be workin"...I will check them from home when I can...thanks...only 4 more hrs to go.....
  • Cowpattybill
    Good mornin' all. Geezer, are those really your videos? You made them? If so, I'm impressed. What software are people using to put these videos together?
  • Cowpattybill
    My search has turned up this: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/09/its-cloverfield-spoof-week.html Apparently the person rujing cloverfieldclues has called for a "spoof week" due to the amount of fake posters/videos turning up. Geezer, if you (or any of the rest of you) have the know-how to put something together I recommend doing it and sending it in on behalf of us regular posters to this board. Currently I think the usuals are: The 4 horsemen - H.P., geezer, bam, ripper Phoenix1707 dudeman1 Larry DeniSSe cowpattybill I think I listed the main posters for the past 500 or so messages. I think all our hard work and countless hours spent here should be acknowleged in some way.
  • dudeman1
    I AGREE
  • H.P.
    As a writer, artist , and musician I don't really have the time needed to make a video. Essentially I would love to animate my theory in flash. One Idea I had was to dress up as an original character and host monster movie segments. I would do 50's,60's,70's and 80's. It would be a homage to such character hosts as Bela Lagosi, Elvira, Dr Morgus, and "The Great" Joe Bob Briggs. I think people need something like that in an entertainment world gone rabid with the likes of reality TV and really bad video blogs.
  • geezer
    yea, those are really my vids, and i use windows movie maker. if you have windows xp home edition then you should have windows movie maker. it's pretty simple to use. and i'm so glad you posted the thing about spoof week because me and a couple of friends were actually gonna make our own 2nd trailer this friday. mostly based on the theory that there are smaller versions of the big monster, and i suppose while i have the camera in my hand i should go ahead and do a spoof
  • Cowpattybill
    Then I implore you geezer to acknowledge the superhuman efforts of this group with a nod in your video. For some of us it may be our only chance at 15 seconds of fame.
  • dudeman1
    Movie Maker, gotta love it. I need to get off of work now, maybe i should just leave...
  • Phenox1707
    Sorry Cowpattybill, but I gotta correct you on your statement in 1279. I am definatly one of the Four Horsemen. I think it's me, HP, Bam, and Ripper. I'm not really sure, but I don't think geezer is one of us. Although, he is still awesome. Other than that, I got nuthin. I have no camera to film with, otherwise I'd come up with something myself. -Four Horsemen-
  • dudeman1
    haha just got off work and saw the fake news report, Some serious acting skill issues, but shit, If I had that sorta video software and time i could def. have some fun with it like they did
  • DeniSSe
    good shit out there. i wish i had the skills as well, i just got a camera for my birthday today...and i wish i had better skills at using it. Anyway, talk to you guys later. have a good night.
  • dudeman1
    Well Happy birthday there fellow Libra Mines in a couple of days, but once this is read it will be tomorrow, AKA Thursday. Maybe we can get some effin clues for our birthday eh?
  • DeniSSe
    awwww, thanks dudeman! haha...clues would be good. p.s. anyone watch resident evil? i'm guessing there was no trailer since there hasn't been any news of anything.

  • dudeman1
    Yeah, Hulk. We all may just want to freeze ourselves similar to Cartmen in southpark episode 10:12 where he froze himself in anticipation of the Nintendo Wii. I think I may do that and perhaps I can escape this deployment so I can actually see the movie ;)
  • dudeman1
    So, Im Bored, decided to look into the NY1 Website and such because I havent read so much about people looking into the NY1 reference. But, Nothing to do with the movie on there that I can find, except the anchor lady from the Trailer is Roma Torre who does work for NY1 news and has acting history. She was interviewed about the movie and all she said is she was forced to sign something that stated she cant talk about the movie and that she doesnt even know what its about. Basically. So I found Nothing as usual. Good Day
  • dudeman1
    and I think demonoid.com is down. :'(
  • Cowpattybill
    Happy birthday DeniSSe and dudeman1. Sorry Phoenix, got the names mixed up. Bygones. I will be out of town until 10/8 and probably won't be able to check the board so have fun, keeping scanning the other boards for me and I'll catch up with you all when I get back. Peace.
  • Dan

  • H.P.
    I just realized that the release date for cloverfield in the U.K. is 2-2-08. Just wondering how the whole 1-18-08 thing is playing out over there since they apparently have a different release date. Wonder if there is a 2-2-08 website.
  • Larry
    HI gang...working the dayshift for training....missed a bunch of posts I see....Happy Birthdays to DeniSSe and dudeman....thanks for including me in the group, cowpatty...apparently there is still nothing new...I wil be back online Sat night (12 hr shift)...maybe something will turn up by then....

  • geezer
    new really really really weird pic on 1-18-08.com and on the back its all japanese letters, ill try to translate it but i probably wont be able to do it by myself, so if anybody wants to give me a hand..
  • http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington
    WHOA! It's a recipe on the back for whatever that guy has on his plate!! Holy crap... I was just thinking, this might hint at what it is! Like what if it translates to "Dragon Roll" or "Squid Spectacular" - then that might be a bigggg hint!! Get someone Japanese to translate it now!! lol
  • geezer
    i know, and the last ingredient is crab.. hmmm
  • France113
  • Larry
    WTF gang??? I just went there and no new pic to be seen...what did I miss???and what is with the site all in spanish??? I no abla the espanol....got 12 hrs of nothing to do so someone point me in the right direction....
  • geezer
    your not the only one larry, apparently alot of people can't see the new pic on 1-18-08.com maybe abrams and the gang chose to release the pic one region at a time p.s if you dont get to see it by later on tonite, its just a pic of some japanese chef holding a crab dish, and on the back is the recipe for the dish
  • Larry
    thanks geez....I will check periodically throughout my shift as it draaaaaaaagggggssssss on til 4 am PDT...I am assuming it is a clue to the beasts makeup or origin or both....guess it may depend on someone being able to translate the stuff on the back....anyway, I wil be here all night.....later. dude.....
  • geezer
    rough translation *Skinless chicken breast - 2, cut in halves *Soumen (a kind of japanese noodle) - 10 oz. *Watercress - 1/2 cup cut into small strips *Turnip - 1/2 cup, thinly sliced *Shiitake (japanese mushrooms) - 1/2 cup *Chicken stock - 1/3 cup *Sake (japanese rice wine) - 2 tbsp. *Sugar - 1/2 tsp. *Ocean-bottom crab - one In a small saucepan, stir together 1/3 cup water, chicken stock, sake, and sugar. Chill it until it becomes cold. Grill the chicken breast on both sides for about 8 minutes, and then chill. Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes, and then run under cold water until chilled. Mix the watercress, turnips, and mushrooms into the soumen. Slice the chicken thinly and arrange on top of the soumen mix. Just before you serve, put the crab in the sauce and pour over the noodles generously. Go go Oishii ("delicious") Chef! time to go party, later larry

    forgot to mention that one...no, the only one that allows access is ENGLISH...the rest just bring you back to the initial screen...same with going to te various subsiary sites "web page" link...just brings you back to where you started...except SLUSHO...takes you to Slusho site...yeah, i am getting a jump on this one simply because I HAVE NO LIFE and I am at work with NOTHING BETTER TO DO....anyway, fun finally getting into some new stuff....now on another thought.... this is a lot 'o sh*t to add to the puzzle...if this is going to be ffilmed from the first-person-videocam angle, some cast member is going to have a laborious task in trying to fill in the blanks somewhere in the film to enlighten the audience on how all this sh*t came down...see what I am getting at...there may be precious little given for background in the actual film...what if the only real background comes to all the people who have been playing this little game of JJ's???? it could happen...damn, i'm getting really loopy now...should have called in sick and gone to the bar...oh well....back to work for a few minutes....

    i also noticed that they said ganu yoshida or whatever is the c.e.o of Tagruato, and ganu yoshida is the same person/whale mentioned on the slusho.jp page
  • H.P.
    I see everything is falling nicely into my theory. No disapointment on my end. It will be a true terror to see people being killed with smiles on there faces. I knew slusho was some sort of drug. I also suspected from the start that the scientists were drilling for slusho. As for that new pic on the official. That guy must be sprinkling that crab shit with some slusho powder. Looks like he taste tested his own dish. Pretty crazy yet happy look on the man's face. I would say slusho would do that to a person. Also go back and watch the trailer. Maybe it helps to notice who looks happy and who looks sad. We can get an idea on who is on slusho. -The 4 Horsemen-
  • dudeman1
    Im back, and we got newSh**!!! This new site reminds me of when they made an Apollo Chocolate website for LOST which was insanely similar to slusho!'s website. There was also a corporation behind the apollo chocolate bar sort of whats going on with this new site. Crazy. Ill give more details later, but for right now it = sleep time

  • H.P.
    Here is a new site http://akaparallax.com/
  • DeniSSe
    hey guys! wow a lot of new shit since Friday! Real exciting. On the new pic on 1-18-08, i was thinking the same thing H.P. mentioned, about that guy's unusually happy face (since he is the chef he most definitely had to taste it) I'm not sure if he purposely put Slusho in it but the slusho ingredient must be in the "ocean bottom crab" mentioned in the recipe. My guess is the ocean bottom of the area where slusho monster or ingredient came from. Also, I know this is stupid but i remember seeing a crab on the slusho.jp site (the history page) where it is holding a the arrow sign (when you click on him his mood changes.) Anyway, on the traguato site, i just starting looking into it so i dont have much yet but i noticed they have the map on there with different drilling stations...you can click on each station and it gives you some info on each site. The station that opened this month is also very close to what i'm guessing is the US...where they probably woke the slusho monster from his sleep?? I dont know. Seems like they've been drilling for years and the supply of this ingredient is running low and maybe thats what is waking the monster...i dont know. There's so much i have to say but my mind is a mess right now... oh and what might parafun have to do in all of this ??
  • H.P.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiitake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watercress I believe these ingredients to be very significant. Also I believe the crab ingredient is a "mood enchancer" which obviously contains slusho if it is specifically a "ocean bottom" crab. I knew that little crab on slusho served a purpose somehow. Denisse I think we are in the same mind set. P.S. Cowpatty you picked the wrong week to go away...lol.

    turns out it's not deep sea crab but deep sea NECTAR...

    Here's a new post about the latest buzz for you guys to comment on since that his hit nearly 1337 comments (heh). http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/10/01/the-latest-buzz-on-jj-abrams-cloverfield-1-18-08/ And geezer, sweet photos - did someone sneak on set and meet Rob?! Is there any more info to share? :)
  • geezer
    i have no ideo how they got that picture, there used to be a third one but i guess they took it down, there are a hell of alot more regular set photos though on photobucket, just type in 1-18-08, and nah, no more info just yet, im gonna try and look into the new site somemore and compare and contrast a bit

    ok, ive been sober for over 2 weeks. HOWEVER, tonight, given how I did not even drink on my Birthday, I figured since JJ gave me a BDay present, I would buy me some beer and do some Drink Analysis. So, here starts the night, I have some catching up to do. Cheers

  • dudeman1
    hmm, i guess my alchohol tendencies have worn off. I only drank one beer tonight. I guess thats a good thing. Managed to find someone in the barracks who has not yet seen the trailer. It freaked him out and so I think he is going to hop on the wagon. Probably not this wagon, but just in general. he is hell bent on figuring it out lol I really dont have anything, you all already said most of it

  • DeniSSe
    H.P. - are you talking about this video: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/09/its-cloverfield-spoof-week.html I think they debunked it here. The acting is terrible. LOL.
  • Tom
  • Tom
    Sorry for the Short post its a busy day, Check out the one they have at gossiprag, I think uts for real, sais its in front of RE3 in the UK
  • Tom
    Ok saw that one too, but tell me I think its real
  • H.P.
    Sorry Tom but that one has been floating around for a while now. It is 100% fake. As for a trailer in front of RE3, why would you think that. RE3 isn't even a Paramount movie(not to mention it totally sucked as expected). Denisse the reason I buy into the trailer I posted is because someone had confirmed that the woman is in fact from NYC local news. I know you could prob confirm that since sadly I do not live in the city. I would also say the acting was a bit cheesy, but I wouldn't say horrible. I think JJ wanted a cheesy 50's sci fi feel but still retain it's realism. Don't forget the tragedy may not be affecting people in a terrorfying way if everyone is on slusho. -The 4 Horsemen-
  • Tom
    No worries, been running in and out, popped on for a sec and saw it and thought it was something new, with the new developments lately I didnt even think of it being fake. Plus whoever did it did a darn good job. And yes Agree RE3 isnt a Paramount flic, My kid works at the local theather and is betting it will be on the Beowolf previews

    OK,...I am all f*&^ed up now...is there or is there not a second trailer??? I cant get the You-tube stuff from here and am not sure at all what is going on...so, somebody PLEASE take a moment and bring me up to speed....thank you...good seeing everyone back on here again....got kinda dead for a while....
  • dudeman1
    No. There are 2 fakes. One of them, apparently has a real news anchor from NY1...however, I do not believe this and am about to check into it. THat same trailer also has pretty bad acting and also the layout for the NY1 is all jacked up. the 2nd trailer is apparently a fake also, I somehow missed it before but I guess it has been going around for a while. It looks cool, but has been determined a fake because they combine the original 1-18-08 trailer with the I Am LEGEND trailer. You can check out them out at this link from HP's post at 1345 http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/09/its-cloverfield-spoof-week.html
  • H.P.
    Larry you don't need youtube. Check the link I posted in 1344. although there are doubts that it is real it was confirmed that one of the girls is an actual field reporter.
  • dudeman1
    ok, the only person that resembles the lady on the false trailer is Home Reporter Jill Scott http://www.ny1.com/ny1/content/index.jsp?stid=37&aid=336 Thats the only one, and although they look alike, I dont believe its the same person. But go ahead and tear her apart. They do look very similar, but I think that is what they were going for. Besides, I mean... im not even going to say anything, that trailer just pisses me off, I find it very annoying with the ghetto white noise shit and... again that kid is a horrible actor. Plus, Romma Torre is the only news anchor in the movie, and she says she signed a paper of undisclosure and cant talk about the movie. But says SHE shot several scenes and she didint know anything about what she was reporting.
  • Larry
    Many thanks H.P., dudeman...thought I had missed something...anyway, I wil stay glued to the board tonight and see what comes up...

    OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I can hear it now...ya shouldnt 'a said that man...hell to pay now....anyway, H.P., I would call it but I have no way to do it from where I am...long story but it is a secure bldg and I cant even bring my cell inside of it...security sh*t...anyway, is the 8th digit a 7 or a 2? ? hard to tell...I could try it when I get off work which is midnight my time...that will be pretty late in Mass....think it wil piss anybody off??? not that I really care...its a free call for me at that hour anyway...what should I ask about the GRADS??? I love to screw with people anyway...give me some ideas....
  • H.P.
    Ok. Brad. I'm not gonna even insult this board by addressing you. Larry it's def a 2, and you don't ask about grads thats just what he tells you he has info on. Pretty strange dude. Also I googled "The Main Dude" and was given a myspace page. The guys name is Jason

    cool...I usually have a drink or two when I get home from work...nothing better to do at 1 am so why not give "Jason" a call??Wed/Thur is my weekend so I will get back online Thur night and let you know what happens...see if I can get a rise out of him or something...I can get pretty strange myself when in the proper mood...its all fun and games anyway...shouldnt do any harm...

  • Phenox1707
    Hello again. I would say "I'm back", but honestly, never really left. Just updating a bit. AKM: -Alpha Kappa Mu -AKM Rifle -AKM Semiconductor, Inc. -A. K. M. Adam, Professor of New Testament, B.A., Bowdoin College (Seabury...?) -Dutch (language check?) abbreviation for the Kosovo Trust Agency Alpha Kappa Mu is a College Honor Society. Grants scholarships and recognizes academic excellence. Nothing important that I can see. AKM Rifle. AKM in this sense means an Modified AK rifle. The AK series of guns was a series that I believe was used in the Soviet Union. I've also seen it in many World War 2 games. AKM Semiconductor, Inc. Obviously, a company that makes Semiconductors. Semiconductor: A semiconductor is a solid whose electrical conductivity is in between that of a conductor and that of an insulator, and can be controlled over a wide range, either permanently or dynamically. Semiconductors are tremendously important in technology. Semiconductor devices, electronic components made of semiconductor materials, are essential in modern electrical devices. Examples range from computers to cellular phones to digital audio players. Silicon is used to create most semiconductors commercially, but dozens of other materials are used as well. **Wikipedia Quote** I am honestly unsure of what AKM is supposed to mean in this sense. But basically, this company controls semiconductors, which in turn help run every single electronic aspect of life as we know it. A. K. M. Adam, Professor of New Testament. Some biblical reverend who, in my opinion, is completely irrelevant to the movie. IF any of you know anything about the New Testament, please say so. Kosovo Trust Agency. Not sure what it does, but I do know that Kosovo is an area North-East of Albania and South of Serbia. That's about all I got for now.
  • dudeman1
    Ok, the Number is the number to "THE HARVARD LAMPOON" which is an undergraduate humor organization and publication. I just called back and asked about a lord of the rings parody they made called Bored of the Rings. These guys set up the http://www.ganuyoshida.com/ website as a joke and are playing along with it. The Number is real, but is a prank and belongs to a College Publication.
  • dudeman1
    and if you want any info on any of Harvard Lampoons publications you can call 617-496-9251, the number on the guys arm. The personnel answering the phone will be happy to help you out. Again, I believe this Number is given out like this as a prank, and Im going to brush it off as such.
  • LuLu
    Hey Transformers will be released on DVD on Oct. 16th.. Anyone think it's possible for a new trailer? I think that might be interesting... :)
  • dudeman1
    I have been pondering that Idea. Like a new trailer before a released movie. That is an swesome Idea LuLu
  • Larry
    way too f&^in' cool...I read Bored with the Rings a couple lifetimes ago and still laugh when I think about it...be nice to get a copy just for nostalggia's sake...those guys are absolutely insane....are they connected to the National Lampoon???? I always thought they were....had many a good laugh over their monthly mags...where did the ganuyoshida link show up at??? I never saw it anywhere...only 2 more hours to go...for me its Friday nite...and nowhere to go after work 'c ept home...bummer.... .
  • LuLu
    That is what I would really like to see... And I think it is a completely feisible idea.. Hmmm anyone around here planning on buying/renting Transformers when it's released? I have been browsing these boards from time to time.. I'm pretty quiet though.. Has anyone checked out tha website from post 1353? Is that a legit site? I checked it out and if it is Legit there are some pretty major clues and it's really helping me piece this puzzle together.. I've got some ideas about the monster and the story plot in general but if that site is a fake then well sh*t there goes my ideas..
  • dudeman1
    Larry, yeah not sure where the ganuyoshida site came from, probably someone just typed it in trying to find something. So, either its an official site with the Harvard Lampoon number on it, or its Harvard Lampoon doing a prank of some sort understanding the buzz around the movie. Either way, the Number is to the Harvard Lampoon. So, call if you want to try to figure out what is up, but I think it is they trying to mindfuck us :)
  • Larry
    hey Lulu...that site appears to be legit....yeah, lots of info but still just a tease so far...confirms the ideas that many of us have come to piece together...Transformers isnt really to my taste but I wil probably rent it if I find out there is another trailer on it....
  • Larry
    dudeman...yeah, I might call and give it a shot tomorrow night or something...be fun to screw around with those guys..they are notorious for for sh*t like this...really cool to see people posting this late at night ...makes life more fun for me while I toil away here at work....
  • Supa42
    I just got somethings to say abut the Guy that said one of the following: "I saw it! It's alive! It's Huge!" or "I saw it! It's A Lion! It's Huge!" I am totally Against the fact that he said "I saw it! It's alive! It's Huge!" because he wouldnt have to say that to people that are there and can see that the thing is Alive. Just think about it...you are in that situation and you clearly see that SOMETHING is alive and blowing stuff up. You dont need someone to point that out for you.
  • dudeman1
    LuLu, tagruato.jp/ is unofficially official I suppose, meaining JJ hasnt actually said anything about it, then again, he hasnt said anything about much so yeah. Everything with that site appears to be legit. the .jp extension, the history, everything. The Slusho Site and the Tagruato have a strange similarity to the Apollo Chocolate Site launched for the LOST Expirience. Cloverfieldclues actually has the original site ready to view. Check it out cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/08/slusho-and-apollo-candy.html off of the Apollo Chocolate site is the Mother Company thehansofoundation.org/ Hanso is to apollo as tagruato is to Slusho. I am sorry I cant send full URL's for some reason. just google "Apollo chocolate, Cloverfield" and check out the apollo site from cloverfieldclues
  • dudeman1
    Welcome Supa. Your comment makes sense, however if you listen to before he says "I Saw it..." you hear a female say "WHAT IS IT?! IS IT COMING THIS WAY?!" then "i SAW IT ITS ALIVE ITS HUGE" thats all i have to say. Damn, I havnt posted this much in a while lol

  • LuLu
    That Apollo site is very interesting dudeman.. Thats the first time I have really heard about that.. I wonder if the Apollo Bar and Slusho have more in common than we think... The Apollo bars being used as a transporter of a virus is an interesting concept.. I can't help but wonder if this movie will feature some kind of medical predicament. When I was reading the information provided by the Tagruato website, is says the company's primary goal is to discover advances in medicine such as cures for various diseases. Could the monster be related to some kind of medical disaster caused by Tagruato and his "slusho"? I think it is also interesting to note (I don't know if anyone has touched on this yet) that under their little news articles they have they talk about the little league baseball team Tagruato sponsers. The article points out that the kids were under the influence of Slusho.. And what did they do? They kicked the other team's ass with no contest. It was almost like they were superhuman... Hmm Slusho side effects it appears... I really like how this is starting to come together.. A little bit at least...
  • Larry
    well Lulu, you are on the same sheet many of us have come to be on...read back some ways and you wil see what I mean...AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT....off topic but really cool...I found this while searching for clues and dont remember now where exactly I did find it...but talk about a really bitchin' story to make a movie from...go here and you can read this book online and it is some weird shit...something to do while waiting for more clues to show up... http://www.johndiesattheend.com/ I will stay on topic from here on out...I and others long ago came to the conclusion that there must be a medical research/military/corporate giant connection to all of this...and again I ask the question about the picture of the giant shadow across the city....legit or fake???? if legit, offers quite a glimpse of our beast as a humanoid....OK, all done for tonight....will check back tomorrow and see where everybody is at...good night all....

    Good morning guys! (ET) Someone called that number on the tagruato site and all they got was this: "Thank you for calling Tagruato. Due to high call volumes, your call has been transferred to an automated answering service. There are no updates at this time. After the tone, please leave a message, and one of our associates will find you as soon as possible." Man, they really have gone through a lot of trouble to make this thing seem as real as ever. I love it. Oh and there are also some updates on their myspace pages. (not much there.) :-) source: cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com
  • DeniSSe
    As for the address (18 Palace Plaza, 36-40-10 Marunouchi, Marunouchi, Tokyo 118-8336, Japan) sources have claimed that it's not a valid address according to a (japanese) guy on http://1-18-08.livejournal.com/2763.html (they're old posts, but still check it out - however they're not talking about the tagruato site but the the address on the slusho.jp site, which are the same exact addresses). I found that interesting, because there may be a play on the numbers. Idk. anyone notice the 1's, 18's, 8's in the address? ;-)
  • DeniSSe
    aaaaaaaaaand... as for the chick on the new (alleged) trailer i found a clear pic of the real Jill Scott ( http://www.nyemmys.org/attachments/files/46/49th%20Annual%20Emmy%20Gala%20Pictures%20060.jpg ) ...the actor is definitely not her, i believe the actor has a completely different shaped chin. But it still doesn't make the trailer fake, although i wouldn't want it to be real, it is pretty lame.
  • H.P.
    Supposedly someone in with the Harvard Lampoon is in charge of one of the nine broken down segments of cloverfield. They have been showing this segment during parties. The Harvard Lampoon basically created modern day comedy. They are the minds that brought about SNL. The magazine is the oldest humor magazine. Sometimes if you catch them off gaurd you can actually hear what seems to be chaos in the background. Pretty Strange shit. Alpha Kappa Mu on the other hand is based in S.C. and I believe that to be the location of the second segment. I will say that these guys are very satire driven. So I would not doubt that this is a prank.

    hey H.P. - i saw that menuism review before as well...check out the rest of the reviews for that garbanzos restaurant... i caught something that i found interesting...that guy mentioned that: - the food was "too cold" (slusho ingredient must be kept cold), - the waitress was "high energy" (slusho makes you happy, 'slusho zoom'), - and that they put the honey dressing (slusho, deep sea nectar, perhaps?) right on the dish, not on the side as requested. (hmmmm...my guess is they're really pushing people to eat this slusho stuff.) -and last, the person who left the review is called M.Vaughn (isn't Matthew Vaughn the director of that paramount film Stardust??) let me know what you think.

    I found myself wondering (at 2am) if anyone online was still talking about the untitled JJ Abrams project like they were back in July. Then I found this. WOW. I have to say, I've now spent about an hour doing a quick skim of this 1400 post comment thread, and I'm seriously impressed. Like an idiot, I thought it might be news that if you leave the 1-18-08 site up for 10-15 minutes, you hear the roaring monster sound (I had the volume up and had the site open on a tab I'd forgotten about--scared the crap out of me). I had no idea I was so ridiculously far behind the times. I'll leave the speculating to the professionals from now on. Good for you guys for keeping the hype alive--seriously, this has been fascinating to read (well, skim...reading might take days). I can't wait to see the movie and find out which one of you was right. :)

  • geezer
    lol, we know ripper, kind of old news, but since you've been gone for a long time its ok i got a new vid up guys, take a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhRRmWgBkzA i kinda went out on a limb, but its still worth watchin and discussing
  • geezer
    theres also a new video on jamieandteddy.com but for some reason i cant view it, see if any of you guys/girl can see it? remember the password is jllovesth
  • Ripper
    Interesting, AKM together is not a collage at all but three clues about the monster. I think anything is possible with the name AKM. I think that is going out of the box but JJ doesent exactly like to stay inside the box. Where is the underground city sopposed to be at, i have a feeling H.P. could tell us. It is a theroy that i am going to throw away...until we can go one way or the other with it.
  • Ripper
    I watched them both and i bet the gift is...Slusho? I dont know though she was little drunk in that second video. Geezer, the video is of him sending her a gift from his trip and he told her not to open it until Dec 9 which she did not like, but she said sence she gave her word she would not open it. She was going on a girls night out also. She said she anwsered his text questions one anwser was Cornbread and the other was...crap have to watch it again.
  • DeniSSe
    i'm on my way home to view the video my work comp won't let me...see ya guys in a bit! p.s. i had a feeling there would be an update on that site soon. ;-)
  • H.P.
    That was weird. From what I gather she is very very happy. She takes a swig of something at one point. It could be the slusho/mixed drink type thing talked about on Tagruano.jp. She reveals a gift she recieved from who ever she is making the video for. Then its gets weird as she talks about a text message she recieved from him. It was very unclear. She is whispering at this point, but I def make out two of the answers. Sex six times. Cornbread. If you ask me I think the two phrases make up the title of the movie.
  • DeniSSe
    i think she's drinking cranberry juice for her UTI. and it's six, six times. What did the silly comedian bake on his day off? Answer - Cornbread. i dont know.
  • dudeman1
    WOOHOO! Im not getting deployed until the END of January!!! YES!

Earlier this week saw a new picture added to the 1-18-08 website featuring a Japanese cook and his recipe. Today we have the Tagruato Corp website, which by all indications is fully involved with the 1-18-08/Cloverfield/Slusho movie. JJ Abrams TV hit show 'Lost' has been fueled with mystery by the viral and fictitious Hanso Foundation. Those guys were a scientific group that created the orientation videos and various buildings on the island for unknown experiments. Now, Abrams seems to have taken a page out of his own book and created another fictitious organization and having subsidiaries which include the infamous Slusho company. The Tagruato Corp is a deep sea petroleum drilling company based out of Japan with industry related subsidiaries. Here is a statement from Tagruato Corp CEO Ganu Yoshida: Tagruato is a collective of top scientists, engineers, and businessmen committed to leading our investors and the whole of mankind into the future. We regard ourselves as explorers, and believe there is much more our planet has to offer than has already been discovered. We view every challenge as an opportunity for innovation. With our groundbreaking deep-sea drilling technology, Tagruato has positioned itself to become a world leader in energy resources, medical research, advanced technology production, and consumable product. - Ganu Yoshida C.E.O Subsidiaries of Tagruato include YOSHIDA MEDICAL RESEARCH, SLUSHO!, BOLD FUTURA LOGO, and ParafFUN! Wax Distributors. YOSHIDA MEDICAL RESEARCH (YMR) YMR is a genetic research firm specializing in deep sea bioprospecting. YMR is a genetic research firm specializing in deep sea bioprospecting. YMR implements Tagruato's advanced exploration technology to study extremophiles found only in the deepest parts of our oceans. The understanding of such organisms that thrive in conditions of extreme pressure, temperature, and toxicity has boundless pharmaceutical and industrial promise. We explore cold seeps and seamounts, where species diversity is known to be as high a 1,000 per square meter. Hidden among these deep sea ecosystems is the potential for medical advancements that will contribute to the future well-being of mankind. YMR doctors are currently developing marine biotechnology drugs that may one day be used as anti-cancer, antioxidant, antibiotic, and anti-malaria. Treatment applications for Alzheimer's disease, cystic fibrosis, and herpes are also under consideration. Our hope and our belief is that the work being done at YMR will prove to be the key to a cure for the diseases that have plagued mankind for centuries. SLUSHO! Created by Tagruato C.E.O. Ganu Yoshida, Slusho! brand happy drink is a icy cool beverage that is rapidly becoming one of the company's most profitable expenditures. Slusho! contains a "special ingredient" that customers can't get enough of. Bearing the slogan, "You can't drink just six!", Slusho! has grown to the second most popular frozen drink in all Asian markets. Hip adult drinkers have begun concocting deliciously intoxicating alcoholic mix drinks starring Slusho! The beverage's popularity has spawned overwhelming sales of brand apparel, a hit theme song, and coming soon: an animated television show starring the Slusho! Flavor Droids! The next step is to introduce Slusho! to the rest of the world. A search is on for top marketing professionals who will be tasked with duplicating the drink's Asian popularity in the Western market. Our aspiration is to one day place Slusho! dispensers in every convenience store and mini mart. Slusho zoom!

Capable of excavation at distances exceeding 7,000 meters of water and 9,200 meters of seabed, the greatest depths of the oceans have been opened for business. The implications are vast and bountiful. Tagruato boasts sole ownership of the functionality designs implemented in our drilling stations. This gives us unparalleled access to the natural resources that lie below the ocean floor. Namely Petroleum, the most sought-after resource in the world. Opening these new regions is projected to boost Japan's national oil reserves by as much as sixty percent. Analysts believe that with the bounty it is about to attain, Tagruato will soon join the ranks of the world's wealthiest corporations.
  • Preston
    Have anyone considered why the most recent photo does not contain a time or date?
  • H.P.
    My guess is that it wasn't taken on 1-18-08. Good question though Preston. It was actually one of the first things I noticed when the pic first went up. I just didn't think it was worth mentioning since it's pretty obvious.

  • Larry
    WTF???? no posts since last night??? does not bode well for me as it looks as if I will have to entertain myself til someone shows up on here...I will be patiently lurking about....
  • dudeman1
    Yeah, kinda boring. I guess theres new happy talk on slusho.jp Rumor has it they are fan submitted. That is about it. Oh, and I heard some rumor about if you make a certain flavor mix on slusho.jp you get a roar... I dont believe it though, and then again im not patient enough to try making flavor combo's all night for a rumored Roar. But, i should be here all night also.
  • Larry
    glad to know you're there dudeman...gonna be a long lonely night at this rate...I agree with ya on that....not worth the trouble just to hear the roar...already got the mp3 anyway....I guess we just sit back and wait for the next release now... I am not enough of a detective to go any further and am not really sure there is anything to really be gained from it anyway...I mean I dont think there are any surprise trailers or film clips be found through all of this research ...they will release the next stuff when it follows the sched they already have made up...yeah????
  • dudeman1
    I agree, yes, yes I agree agree. lol tonight is going to be boring i can tell already
  • H.P.
    Hey Larry how many fucking times do we have to hear about how lonely you are. If you got nothing to say about the movie then at least talk about something of interest. All we hear about is your long shifts and how bored you are. Also you complain about a lack of new info, dude where have you been. There has been a shit load of new info. Are you even trying? The reason I haven't given anything out is because for a while I felt like me and few others were the only ones picking through shit. So I stopped. Sorry guys. Until I see an improvement in this blog I will no longer be posting. I have a crystal clear idea of what is going on, how about you guys? The 4 Horsemen
  • Larry
    whatsa matter with you H.P.??? you got a problem with me making idle conversation with dudeman??? thats all it is, just idle conversation while NOTHING else is going on...you need to get a fucking life, twerp....there is more to the world than figuring out this fucking movie....if I busted youR goddam blog protocol....TOUGH SHIT.....BLOW ME....IM OUTTA HERE.... P.S. take care in Iraq, dudeman.....
  • geezer
    that was kinda harsh h.p
  • dudeman1
    wow HP way to fuck this board up I know what your going to say "FUCK YOU DUDEMAN, YOUR A FUCKING DRUNK'. Whatever man, dont post here. Im staying. Larry will too. If you have a fucking problem im sure we can deal with out you and your EMO comments. And if not, then whatever. Im staying. Larry is staying. And beieng an open board we can talk about what we want anyways because everyone knows there is nothing new. Do you expect us to talk about this movie every fucking post when there is nothing new? Fuck you HP. We dont need you here. PS. I vote HP out of the none exsitant "4 horsemen" group
  • dudeman1
    POST 1397 was a big DIs on you HP. I know everyone on this board was upset over it and was there to stick up for you wether we said anything or not. Now your just going to turn your back against one of us? You dont belong here if your going to be pulling the same shit that that guy pulled on you. Way to be a fuckin hypocrite, your an asshole. Anyways Larry, as always, Im still here. Sorry it took me a while to post, but Like i said, id be here all night. Im getting ready to go to bed though. Hopefully things are better in the Morning. LARRY DESERVES AN apology from HP at the least. He has disgraced this board.
  • dudeman1
    And, as a good night wish. HP Post 1432 you made: If you got nothing to say about the movie then at least talk about something of interest your Post 819- Sorry about that Matt it seems we posted at the same time, but you beat me to it. Hey if it gets too boring in here we could always talk horror movies. How do you feel about AVP 2. I personally think they should just do a predator 3. Who was interested in that conversation? You and a couple other people? Im always interested in what Larry says as im sure other posters are. So therefore his posts are of interest, but perhaps not to you you selfish bastard. And yes, go ahead and think about talking shit on me. Everyone is expecting it
  • dudeman1
    Actually on 2nd thought Im with Larry. Peace Out
  • geezer
    i thought about somethin', what if all these "clues" dont mean a damn thing... if you can remember on lost there were some hidden numbers that popped up every once and a while. people thought that these numbers were very important to the plot of the story, that is until jj or one of the writers came out and said that they were about as important as a no-legged hooker (not the actual words) so maybe these "clues" are just on the internet to keep people interested in the movie...
  • J J Abrams
    hey larry. i live in memphis. Hows your shift? if i had a nickel for every time you mentioned you were "at work" id give them all to you because you probably don't even have a job you fucking loser. Come "visit" me and "get my attention" larry. I'll probably never see it coming because you will likely be hiding behind your computer you douche. Nice "web threat" buddy. I think you've had a little too much slusho pal... H.P. you know im just bustin your balls. we have had this discussion before. You did say I was The Horsemen's "Arch Enemy" or something like that and I'm just fulfilling the responsibilities of that title. larry you suck you whiny little girl. Waaaaaa Im lonely... get a fucking life, a wife, a dog, a goldfish a pet rock something to keep your pathetic ass company you dishrag!
  • H.P.
    Wow you guys are the ones that need a life. It's not like I told larry to blow me or told you guys to fuck off. Hey Larry if your really that upset then I apologize. I have more class than that. Don't worry dudeman I got my opinion on you, but I'll bite my tongue. Nice copy and paste skills. Yeah I'm guilty of idle chat, but that was when it was dead on the info end. Also what's with all the name calling. If anything I deserve an apology. Not once did I resort to nasty name calling. You guys need to know how to take an opinion. All I had beef with was Larry's complaining, and you guys went all crazy!! Maybe I don't wanna come on the board and hear about Larry's shifts and being lonely. I have a right on here to express that. Isn't that what your fighting for dudeman. No hard feelings on my end, you guys are taking this too far.
  • H.P.
    Yeah JJ I was a little disturbed by Larry's comment myself. He just took it too far. You posted before me so don't be confused by my comment after yours. I just kinda spaced out our on going rivalry. Ball busting is one thing, but I really think those guys have gone too far. I'll admit it JJ I was a bit confused by your asshole comment, but soon realized your intent. I admit I can be an asshole, but I always have a reason. My intent is not as wicked as our friend Larry. Actually his comment toward you JJ gave me more of an incentive to weed him out. That shit was just creepy. I'm sure Larry is a pretty creepy guy. The only thing I found alright about Larry was his appreciation for Frank Zappa.

  • Cowpattybill
    Good grief!! I leave for a week and a half and I come back to a whirlwind of new clues, new websites, new pics, new people, more name calling, threatened drive-by's...hmm, seems like old times. I have read all the previous posts but have nothing to add. I've been out of action for awhile and quite frankly my interest in the movie has diminished quite a bit. It will likely take me a few days to get back into the swing of things. I am happy, and sad, to see that my duties of patrolling other sites for info has been taken over and done better than I was doing. DeniSSe and Larry and dudeman1 seem to be doing some nice searching. An HP of course is not only finding stuff but tearing apart what we have. Good work everyone. I'm glad to be back. One thing I didn't see discussed anywhere is what the numbers on the bottom of the new picture on 1-18-08.com means. There are two symbols and the 3912 number. Any ideas? Was this discussed and I missed it? Oh, one more thing. dudeman, I looked for you videos but there are several listed for syrup shots and whatever the other one was. Do you have a direct link or someway to tell which one is yours?
  • Cowpattybill
    I was going to wait awhile longer but it seems like this would be about the best time to mention it. I have been working on something for the past month or so. It is still in development but I hope to have it ready to go before the end of the year. I will advertise it plenty before then but I wanted my "family" here on this site to be the first to hear about it. Unfortunately it has to be shrouded in secrecy for now (much like JJ's movie) but I don't want anyone stealing my idea. Let me just say that it's big, it's not alive, and it's gonna be fun. More details to follow over the next couple months.
  • Phenox1707
    Hey Guys. Glad to see that you're back, Cowpattybill. Been lookin around for ya a bit. Anyways. I just looked at the new picture again, to see if there was anything weird about it. Only two things that haven't been discussed as far as I can remember are the number, like Cowpattybill said, and also the fact that it seems to me like there is some form of reflection in the metal on the left side of the guy. Our left, his right. It could be another person, or it could (although in my opinion not likely) be like those pictures where the real man is in one place, and there's a faded version of him behind where he is standing. Just an idea.

  • H.P.
    Sorry geezer, but I had major problems loading that video. I'm gonna try again soon. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the symbols and numbers in the bottom of the photo strange. I got too caught up in "bitch fest" to touch on that...lol. I'm glad cowpatty is back. You always have information for me to work off, and something of interest to talk about. Yeah you missed out on the Lampoon stuff. It's not a good sign if those guys are involved. This could all be one big put on. Just refer to http://www.ganuyoshida.com/. Then call the number on the guys arm. Ask for the main dude. All this may be dismissed as a prank, but it's fun fucking with them. -The 4 horsemen-

    new updates on slusho.jp...specifically the "HAPPY TALK" section... one of the new comments really caught me... "on red crab six times" any thoughts on what this might mean??
  • Cowpattybill
    One thing I really hate is when someone says "hey, I did this weird thing and a new website opened up. Here's what I did, try it!" but they never say much about the site that was opened. Sure it's great to find a secret link but even greater is what is at the link. I couldn't hear the audio but the text on the video didn't say much. How about a screen shot, or the URL? Otherwise, it seems to me to be a wild goose chase like the guy that said if you match up the times on the pictures with the seconds in the trailer and write down the words and send them to an email address you will get a secret link. Remember that one? That person didn't give any info about what was at the link either.
  • Cowpattybill
    1-18-08truth.com is saying that this site, http://www.ymr.jp/, is a possible site connected to the movie. I looked at it and with only looking for about 30 seconds I don't see a connection. But then again, I can't read Japanese. I post it only because I feel it is our job to disect every piece of info. They say it is 75% legit, whatever that means.

Can you tell me where I can buy a copy so I can have the ringtone? -I like inviting Slusho to the party in my mouth. -I am HAPPY! Thanks Slusho for making me ZOOM! -I luv slusho... bring it 2 england... please????????? -Most Honorable Satoshi, I really like the Slusho Zoom flavors of Mikan and Nashi mixed together. Please tell me about your secret ingredient. I promise I won't speak of it to anyone, honest. A devoted consumer in America, thank you -- Billy -Slusho! heals. -Is there any combination that don't taste good? -How should I mix the Slusho flavors to get the best results? -Slusho! makes the world a better place

    Here is the transcript to the 2nd video on jamielovesteddy.com:..... [plays harmonica] Alright, I finally figured out how to work the camera, and I have about 15 horny girls waiting to go to girls night down stairs, so I have to make this really quick. I'm here talking to you right now because of two reasons: 1. Because I miss you, I miss you so much, and... 2. Because you really f-ed me up with this gift, you can not - thank you by the way - but you can not send a girl a gift and tell her to open it on December 9th... which is forever away. You just can't do that! But, I gave you my word and it's gonna sit here right at the edge of my bed until, until you say that I can open it, because I gave you my word. And I also got your text message, sorry... [whispering] I got you text message earlier, I have to be quiet... And I got, I just figured out the answer to your question - six, six times. And the answer that you got wrong is [whispering] Corn Bread you got it wrong [off camera] lets go, let do this! All right, all right. I have to go, i love you , I miss you so much, and I'll talk to you soon... [off camera] come one * Thanks to Alex for emailing me about

    Here is how the Tagurato website was supposedly found: The last ingredient in the Japanese recipe is "Kaitei no mitsu" which translates to "deep sea nectar/honey". Dr. Awkward at Unfiction did a Google search for it and only one page came up, a restaurant review by "deliciousmacdoob" on Menuism.com. The unusual review mentions the source of the "Seabed’s Nectar" which the chef claims came from a company in Honshu, Japan called Tagruato. Using that info, MrToasty discovered Tagruato.jp.

    New updates on HUD's MySpace site: Gather ’round the campfire, kiddies! It’s time to write a story! If you're one of the like seven super cool people in the world who have been paying attention to my blog, you know that I'm trying to get an interactive, comic book-esque story going with characters created by independent Myspace artists. I've gotten a pretty good response, and I think we've fielded enough characters to begin our story. Here's the cast: Statik, Captain Anonymous (maybe we can come up with a name for him in the story), I've dubbed these three Vang, Gustav Grosto, and Spiggot, Koffy, ENDOMAN the Dreamtraveller, X-73, Behemoth Here's how it's gonna work: I'll begin the story, and then it will up to one of you to add on a little bit more, and then the next person, and so on. If you want to post pics of new characters, we'll weave them in. And so it begins... "What the hell is that?" "What?" "That... thing, floating up ahead. Do you see it?" Gustav shrugs. "Probably just a discarded fuel casing." "That is not a fuel casing," scoffs Spiggot. He adjusts the trajectory controls on the zeppelins the main board. "I'm soaring in for a closer look." "Don't even think about it," warns Gustav. "We have a very specific mission, and it does not include picking up random bits of junk floating around the atmosphere. If Vang finds out you're changing course--" "Vang is in deep slumber mode, she's not gonna find out. Just chill out and get the Arm ready." The zeppelin approaches the object. Spiggot squints out into the dark cloudy sky. "Whoa... Gustav, I think it's a person!" It is a person, just hanging in the air, motionless, as if they were lying on some unseen blanket. "H-how can that be?" says Gustav, astonished. "They're just… floating in mid-air, three thousand feet up?" "They look dead. Don't you think?" "Only one way to make sure," replies Gustav, already swinging the Extraction Arm out to retrieve the floating body. Gustav and Spiggot rush to the cargo bay as the Arm gently lays the figure down. They stop short with a surprised gasp. "It's a woman!" sputters Spiggot. "And she's really hot!" The unconscious form before them is a beautiful woman, blonde, dressed in futuristic battle gear. A tag on her shoulder reads 'X-73'. Gustav rushes to her side and presses his fingers to her neck. "Nothing. No pulse. I think she's—" Just then, the woman springs gracefully to her feet, simultaneously slamming Gustav to the ground with her super strong legs. A large, terrifying Blaster forms out of her wrist holster, and she presses it to Gustav's throat. "Where is he?" she demands of Spiggot. Spiggot holds up his hands, at a loss. "Where is Behemoth?" OK, that's it. Who's got the next page?

    That's weird cowpatty. That kinda reminds me of something I came up with two years ago except the story would later be put into comic form by established comic artists. The name of the comic label is Blank Face Comics and as of now I own the rights to the name. I just never ran with the idea, but your recent posts has fueled my think tank. I guess I never planned on blogs getting so popular, which works nicely in my favor. I may post a blog on my website titled simply "The Blank Faced Comic". So far my story tells of a mysterious windmill, which harbors ancient creatures unseen to human's till now. The base of the windmill is an endless underground downward spiral staircase which connect to various prisons in which the creatures are kept. The windmill are actually ancient spacecraft that came to earth millions of years ago, and a shadow goverment keeps the secret hidden. It is called simply "The Mill".

    Just noticed something of interest on tagruano. Check out the drilling map. Notice the most recent drilling site opened is next to NYC. Also take special notice of the name of the drilling site, and then look up the name. Very interesting stuff.
  • Cowpattybill
    Are you referring to Kaika Station and that Kaika may or may not have been an emperor?
  • Cowpattybill
    I don't know if this was on the site before but it's there now and I think it's pretty funny. Tagruato cares! Tagruato's crew of Slusho! Smilers! arrived at the Ibaraki Nursing Home in Mito yesterday with a special surprise for the feeble elders on Floor 3 - Slusho! brand happy drink! The lovely ladies handed out seven drinks to each senior in any flavor they could imagine. "This Mikan-Strawberry Tasty makes me feel young again!” exclaimed 98-year-old Hiro Chinen. Another aged lady asked to have a Nashi-Banana Anime hooked into her IV. As the patients sucked their drinks down, the Slusho! Smilers! sang and danced to the Slusho! Song! Those who were able clapped along. "I felt like a pretty angel," said longtime Smiler! Kimi. "Dancing in front of those old folks showed them that just because they cannot leave their beds, the rest of us can, and the world is still a bright shiny place." The nursing home donation is the latest wonderful act by the Tagruato Cares charitable foundation. Other recent events include Blankets for the Homeless and Tiny Orphan's Circus Fieldtrip. The two things I find funny are that they gave each patient 7 drinks. I assume it's because you can't drink just six. Also I think the line: "Dancing in front of those old folks showed them that just because they cannot leave their beds, the rest of us can, and the world is still a bright shiny place." is just damn funny. The rest of us can.... now that's funny.

    Actually I meant the chuai station which opened this september. Seems to me they would run into problems with the newest drilling station.
  • geezer
    its ok h.p, all the video basically said was that if you click on the crab on the history page 6 times, and then go to the flavor page and fill the blueberry zoom robot all the way to the top, fill the chocolate rage robot all the way to the top, mikan robot only fill a quarter of the way and nashi robot only fill 3 quarters of the way. there is supposed to be a link to another site that pops up if you get the combination exactly right, but i really dont believe it since ive tried it about 6 times and dont really intend to try it again. but since a few other people have left comments on the guys video saying that they were able to do it, i guess it works
  • moviefx
    Hmmm My friend just send me a link to another similar 'viral marketing' website... wonder what this one is about. http://www.yuis30.com ?? there is timer that is counting down..

    Sorry guys (and lady), I'm out again until Monday. Have a great weekend. Happy clue hunting.
  • DeniSSe
    Thanks cowpattybill! Enjoy your weekend as well. on a side note: i've stopped caring about any other viral marketing sites that look too sketchy... has anyone tried that slusho recipe where the "supposed" site pops up...completely bogus i think. however, i've always thought that there must be some use to that part of the website...kind of like if you make the right "slusho-bot" it's sort of like a key/combination, if you will, to something else (if we ever figure it out). sometimes i think that the flavors mentioned on the other site (tagruato, etc.) may hold a clue to what the combo is, perhaps? my brain is pretty fried right now...been working since 8:30am and its now 7pm. anything makes sense to me at this point. LOL.

    Since it is slow. I would like to apologize to you HP for my remarks before. I have no excuses, and no reason why i said anything in the first place, and you did not have any reason to apologize for anything. I do understand that you deserve the apology and I hope that you accept it, and I hope you do not mind me posting here because I am as involved into this movie as almost anyone else is. So again I apologize. If you do not want me here anymore just let me know, I will understand

    Anything you guy would like some research done on? I have a few hours to waste, and I'd gladly use the time to do some investigating. Just say so, and I'll be on it.
  • Dudeman1
    there are now 8 buttons to click on on slusho. When you click the new shlusho Button a text cloud pops up saying "WE ARE COMING, WE'LL FIND YOU SOON!!" and apparently they are hiring! The first Slusho Button is Distribution Opportunities, and it has a Tagruato background and Tagruato is mentioned also. Making Tagruato Officially Official. NEAT! check it out, slusho.jp
  • dudeman1
    and on the new slusho distro opps page, just some observations.. -Monkey is holding the cheese -Mikan has a oven mit on -Blueberry Zoom has a hammer inside his bubble chest those are the only significant slusho observations i can see. So now Slusho is Hiring! Lets order a Slusho! Machine!
  • geezer
    remember when jamie siad "(somethin) six times is cornbread" ? well if you go on the slusho site and click on happy talk theer is a saying that says "On red crab six times" red crab is an anagram for cornbread!! and if you take "cornbread 6 times" you can get "6 carbine monster"
  • geezer
    i mean carbide not carbine
  • geezer
  • geezer
    also, i was refering to the jamielovesteddy video number 2 when i said "(somethin) six times is cornbread"
  • H.P.
    Bravo!! Well played geezer! Looks like we have a math problem on our hands. I have a very strong feeling that something very minor will be shown of the monster on Halloween. Most likely in the form of a new pic on the official site. Maybe a single claw. An eye. If it doesn't happen then you know JJ has some serious shit to show off to be holding out on Halloween. P.S. dudeman. I would never think of telling someone who is a true fan of this film to leave. Based on what you have brought to the table your more than welcome.
  • geezer
    the history of slusho has changed!!! a little bit, i dont really know what it is that was changed exactly, but i know it has changed. i think it is the part about mixing a bunch of fruit and vegetable which i dont think was there before. go check it out (oh, and im likeing these updates jj is sending, hopefully he will send us a new trailer with all this)
  • geezer
    sorry im postin so much, been havin some back problems and cant really stay asleep, but anyway, new interesting happy talk quates, and they go by fast as hell, im going to try and screen capture the quates later on today then post them in here so nobody will hurt there eyes trying to read them at slusho.jp
  • Mike 8
    Man, you all should get together on opening day and watch the film. It would be a fitting end to all your hard work and speculation. I've been a silent observer for the most part, and enjoying the posts. H.P., you keep spelling "you're" as "your" (1496 among others), and it's bothering the hell out of me.
  • dudeman1
    HAHA, sorry I found that Amusing, I Just bought the Half Life 2 Orange Box so im going to go play that
  • H.P.
    Sorry Mike 8. Maybe someone should throw in a spell and grammar check. Half the time my comments are quickly typed. So you been silent this whole time and that's what you have to say. I mean don't get me wrong. I appreciate the observation, but I'm sure you could have thought of something more constructive to say off the bat. Maybe you should continue to be silent. -The 4 Horsemen-

  • the geezer
    sorry fellow gents and gals, but this is a really off-topic question and i promise you it will be my only off-topic question, but do you think i will get a bad outcome if i mix weed with kool-aid powder and smoked it? i would have just put this in an email, but i dont know anybody's email in here, and all my friends are also stumpped apon this question... please help (please dont kick me from the boards admins!!!)
  • dudeman1
    Wow, lol. Weed and Kool-aid powder hmmm somehow i want to think that smoking weed with a certain koolaid flavor would perhaps make the smoke taste in accordance with the flavor of kool aid. Similar to, instead of pouring water into your bong, pouring in Vodka or gatorade. I say it is worth a shot, and let me know how it goes so whenever im out of the military perhaps i can give it a shot....
  • dudeman1
    Sorta kinda unrelatedly related. Half life 2 Episode 2 has little References to "Lost" in it. Thats all
  • geezer
    lol, thanks dudeman i never used a bong so i wouldnt know anything about mixing gatorade with it, but since i guess mixing gatorade with your bong is safe then mixing kool aid powder with weed is safe. and ill let you know the outcome dude but if it gets popular overseas you gotta give me props lol
  • bill
    I wouldn't recomend smoking any form of sugar unless you use a bong. It will burn tour throat and you will likely cough uncontrolably.
  • Cowpattybill
    I'm baaaaaack!! I see nothing new has happened except the changes to slusho site. My guess is now that they are looking for new people Rob will apply and get hired. Maybe Jason first since some have said that Jason also works for slusho. Seems JJ has his characters living in a parallel timeline to us and we can kind of see what is going on in their world and interact with it on a limited basis but not change it. Interesting. Good way to go about it I think.
  • H.P.
    Much can been gathered from slusho. Cowpatty we need to get to the bottom of it. Like denisse has said there has got to be more to the mixing part. Also geezer stated that the history section has changed. Can we get any conformation on that cowpatty. I'm really busy today at the office. I'm ready to claw my eyes out!! Any research will be great. That way I have something to scan over later.
  • Phenox1707
    Hey HP. I can do some research on it too tonight. I have some projects to do for school, but Slusho! research will give me a good break now and then. I'll have some stuff on it later tonight.

In light of a storm of false claims of business purpose, we have been forced to institute a verification policy. The first step is to forward documents of authenticity. We will need a copy of your articles of incorporation before proceeding with Slusho! distribution opportunity. We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause you.

    Ok, i have been mulling over the Slusho site...i think i made every combination possible, my brain hurts. I sent the e-mail for Distribution Opertunites, oif i get the same e-mail i will err, send "athintic" paperwork to them. What is the last Japanese symbols n the line ?

    What is really bugging the shit out of me is this whole blue oven mitt, hammer, and cheese. It has to mean something. Also the 6 times on red crab statement. Those are the things my brain are picking at. Any thoughts. -The Four Horsemen-
  • Cowpattybill
    I poked around on the slusho site for awhile, rereading stuff, looking at the pictures, playing with the flavors and found nothing. I did notice that after your robot is created when you mix the flavors, if you tab through the links on the page you will see several links about 2/3 of the way down the screen. If you click on them you don't go anywhere though. There are six of them across the screen and they appear to be in the same location as the bars you use to indicate how much of each flavor you want to use. So even though the bars aren't there apparently the links to them are. I played with them for awhile too and got nothing.
  • DeniSSe
    boys, i may have stumbled across something on the flavors page! not much yet...buuuuut...i remembered someone mentioning this in another forum a while ago but never really looked into it. so today i was messing around on the flavors page and if you zoom in as far as the flash player allows you and then look at all the bars to select the amount of flavor you want, there are 2 marks on the meter. something like a dash - and what looks like a colon : check it!!!!! was this done on purpose??
  • Cowpattybill
    Looks like an "=" and a ":" but I don't think they mean anything.
  • H.P.
    I have to agree, but I think Denisse is on the right track with the whole ZOOMING thing.
  • DeniSSe
    okay...ZOOMing again. on the store page on slusho...on the little runway when everyone comes out and models the merchandise...when the monkey walks out, notice his shirt...there is what looks like a tail coming out from behind the SLUSHO! cup...anyone notice it too or is that a glitch? i apologize if this was mentioned before.
  • DeniSSE
    NEW VIDEO ON JAMIEANDTEDDY.COM i CAN'T SEE THE VIDEO AT WORK CAN ANYONE DESCRIBE TO ME. please.
  • H.P.
    Sorry Denisse, but I am in the same boat as you. I can't save files at work. I get off at 6 so I can do it then. Also I was the one and only person who mentioned the tail thing way way back so don't be sorry for repeating it. Just keep on Zooming.
  • geezer
    you have to download the vid to view it, or maybe thats just my comp im not sure
  • DeniSSe
  • H.P.
    That's weird no downloading required on my mac. I think it's a pc thing because I work on a pc and it wanted me to download. Anyway about the vid. Lots of drama now between jamie and teddy. I won't get into detail because I feel it is not relevant. One thing stands out. She mentions Jason and Lilly. This debunks my previous theory that teddy is actually Jason. She also mentions how he is out saving the world and she supports his job but doesn't really understand it, which to me would tell me this character has a secretive job. I think this Teddy Hanson character is on the drilling crew that awakens the monster. I think he might be the leader of the crew.
  • geezer
    Heres how it goes jamie turns on the camera and its in the early morning, it looks like she just woke up (because her hair looks like shit) she starts talking about something that happend the night before between her and her boyfriend's ex and then she says the ex threatened to tell a lie on her etc. etc. nothing really interesting. then she starts talking about how her boyfriend should trust her more and how he should belive her over his ex etc. and then she says "i went out with my girlfriends, and your off SAVING THE WORLD (what exactly does he do again?) also she says "your off following your dream, and you left me here" (wasnt the slusho whale following her dream too of making slusho? so maybe rob wasn't the target of the monster but jamie since her boyfriend could possibly have something to do with the slusho chemical?) anyway, she goes on to say how shes lonely, and how she lost her purse and phone on the night out with her girlfriends and complains onw how she trys to be perfect for him. she starts playing with some pepto bismol bottle (or is it?) and she talks about how she supports what he does and that she is all for it even though she doesnt understand it (again, what exactly does he do?) then some kind of electric thing goes off (can't see it, can only hear it) and some guy (who she says is a girl) that was in the bed with her moves around and startles her a bit then she talks about how she can prove she loves him and then cuts the cam off thats all, so in a nutshell... it appears that she is not faithful and her boyfriend may be a key charecter in the story

    Ok, so I dont see any new things on 1-18-08 however Everyone has seen the Tagruato Logo, the two hands holding the globe. I rewatched the trailer. :55 in, there on the outside patio thing and there is a person with a little shoulder bag thing with a logo on it. I grabbed a screen of it and zoomed in and the circular logo on the bag zoomed in resembles the Tagruato Hands Holding the Globe Logo. Doesnt reveal anything, but its possibly something we didnt see before is all Have a great Night Dudeman

    I have come to the conclussion that the monster is a form of Leviathan. Look at alot of artist renditions and it just makes sense. I have also pointed out in the past that the island of hokkaido does look like a monster. Also take into consideration all these hidden faces on the poster and on the website. You can't deny a stricking similarity to Leviathan, most notably on the twins pic.

  • Ripper
    Oops, sorry guys thanks for the lik CPB. Anyone have a clue what the hammer cheese etc shit means yet, i have been searching but the only thing i have found is the Cheese production name we talked about long ago. Mabye i am not searching in the right place. P.S they should have stopped after T-2 -The Four Horsemen-
  • H.P.
    I don't know how early you guys all showed up, but I remember in early posts how people made a strange connection to the old testament. Blue Oven Mitt=Behemoth, Cheese=Ziz. I'm having a hard time figuring out where The hammer fits in. If your not familiar with the old testament here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan -The Four Horsemen- P.S. I don't think the terminator show will be that bad if you disregard three. I mean I was always interested in what happened to John and Sarah after that whole ordeal. With time travel storylines the possibilities are endless.
  • DeniSSe
    H.P. : Post #503 & #506 (506 was me.) touched on that ziz/behemoth subject...i too believe that it may have some connection...since the leviathan has no connection to the oven mitt or cheese...maybe there is some connection with it not having a connection AT ALL (i know this makes no sense) therefore being that that the only one not mentioned is the Leviathan, who is the underwater creature out of the three. WHEW! i apologize if this makes no sense...i'm terrible at repeating what exactly is on my mind. but i am totally with you on this whole thing...it's killing me too. WHAT THE HELL DOES THE HAMMER MEAN?
  • Phenox1707
    Man, I hate the feeling that I've been getting about not being very involved in this movie. Or, at least, not as much as I used to be. Does anyone have anything at all (Other than the Leviathan theory) on the hammer? I'm willing to do some searching, but I'll need some sort of lead first. If not, than I can start with the Leviathan/Ziz/Behemoth theory. Thanks guys, and glad to be back. -The Immortal Four Horsemen-
  • dudeman1
    Something new from Cloverfieldclues.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OBMWJflJg0
  • dudeman1
    just going to spew out a few theories to mayb get some thinking to occur. 1. Rob isnt going to Japan to work for Slusho! Brand Happy Drink. I mean, we all think that he is because his brother is wearing the Slusho Shirt, but he could be doing marketing for Bold Futura or ParafFun! or even Tagruato...just an idea 2. With the funny little cartoony characters on Slusho.jp Maybe they are all the main characters from the movie. I really dont have to far to go with this, but the Little Teddy Bear on the Distrobution Ops page could be a reference to Jamie's Teddy. Thats really the only reference I can come up with at this point, but just an idea. Sorry, just trying to get some more discussion up in heeya

    Dudeman!!! Your a fucking genius!!! Jamies boyfriend is named Teddy Hawkins. Is it possible he works for distribution. Based on the gift Jamie had recieved. Maybe it is slusho, and most likely it is served up at Rob's going away party. I agree about Rob working for another company. Maybe some of Rob's interests on myspace could shed light on what company he will be working for. Lascano Platt=Platypus? Another thing confusing the shit out of me is Teddy Hawknins. I thought Rob and Jason had the last name Hawkins. Is this Teddy a third brother or a nickname for Rob, because we know by Jamies video that it's not Jason so it must be Rob. How is it possible she is waiting for rob to get back when they throw a going away party for him in January. Isn't he already home? Did he come back and then leave again?
  • volpe
    that would be pretty cool if the slusho flavors were the things in the movie and maybe the hammer oven mitt and the cheese marked the ones that were in the movie what were they? wasnt it blueberry zoom mikan and i dont remember the last one and it would kinda make sense because it previewed before Transformers(robotic kinda like slusho flavors) idk much about i am legend but what if the things watching will smith was robot like creatures and i heard there were going to be a cloverfield trailer before it ust a hunch
  • H.P.
    Volpe. I must make something perfectly clear. In my eyes a robot is not a monster. What kind of a robot growls and roars like that. Also JJ has said that we need our own monster, and said he got the idea visiting Japan with his kid. When he took his kid to a toy store his kid wanted a godzilla toy and that's when he came up with the idea of America having its own monster. He wants something memorable. Also just because the trailer was in front of transformers means nothing. They only did that because they knew that lots of people were expected to see the movie.
  • DeniSSe
    H.P. - F.Y.I...It's Teddy Hanssen.
  • geezer
    yea, im pretty sure it's not a robot too volpe, but there is still a possibility that the monster has to be defeated by a robot of some sort
  • H.P.
    Ah man. I don't know where my head is today. Thanks for the correction Denisse. Sadly my investigating new material has come to a screaching halt. I got alot of stuff going on. So I ust decided to rehash some old points that we never resolved. Mostly the blue oven mitt yadda yadda. If someone can maybe investigate Rob and Teddy a bit so maybe we have a better idea what company they may work for.
  • Rachard Mcintyre
    I really liked the preview. I was scared first, but soon started to enjoy it. I see SIGNS! in this film. I think it's the monster verison of 9/11 and "666" put together, OR JUST THE BIBLE ITSELF TELLING US MAYBE : "Matthew 24:39", "Acts 2:20", " Luke 21:25", "Revelation 6:8" OR "Zephaniah 2:2" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • france113
  • volpe
    alright really no one can crack this case because like u said HP jj wants america to have its OWN monster wouldnt that mean it cant be something biblical? so the only thing we can solve is what kind of creature it is
  • H.P.
    Well really it's all about the vision of it, because it's not like people know what these biblical creatures really looked like. You can't put a copyright on the bible.
  • Ripper
    I am burning up my computer with hammer, mit, searches oh well i keep looking. The monster, i know it will be a mind shattering monster i dont belive it has any tiys to the bible of any other storyline, if there are hints that is is it may be JJ throwing us off...just my opinion. I will be gone for a week i am going to Mexico ARIBA! see ya when i get back. -The Tequila Horsemen-
  • Tom
    So you all realize if we keep this up much longer its going to be January, so no more speculation. I can see Abrams sitting back looking at all the blog sites and forums discussing this and just laughing his butt off
  • H.P.
    There could easily be an ending which would call for a sequel, and at that point we could have years of speculation on our hands. I don't think all this is for the soul purpose of JJ's amusement. I truly think he just wants us to have fun. Maybe all of us are part of the sequel.
  • Cowpattybill
    Well I'm sticking to my idea that the characters are in our timeline (like I posted back in #1508) Meaning that now that Slusho is looking to hire, maybe Rob will apply and get the job. Later on we'll learn through one of the sites about exciting opportunities in Japan which will be our clue that Rob is going to Japan. Perhaps then we'll see some posts on MySpace indicating that a party for Rob is being planned. During that time details will emerge about who won't be there, there will be some mysterious postings eluding to strange things happening at targruto. Perhaps Jamie's gift from Teddy is important to the plot. All in all I'm saying that I think, and it has been mentioned by others before, that every detail we currently have, every clue, is all part of the backstory and it is building up to the actual release of the movie. JJ will keep feeding us little bits so when the movie is release we have a full story, all the details fall into place and we are rewarded with more than a movie, we get a life experience because we feel so connected to the characters and their stories.
  • Cowpattybill
    By the way, what happened to Larry? I know I've been out for awhile but I've been working on my online game that I can't wait to tell you guys about. A couple more weeks and I should be able to start releasing a few details. I think you're going to like it.
  • H.P.
    1432-1443 should answer your question about Larry. It was an amusing little tiff, and for the record I never told him to leave. I said sorry, but I don't regret anything I said to him.
  • Cowpattybill
    Yes I remember reading it. I felt the same way you did about him always saying how slow it was at his job, how bored he was, how he had hours to kill, and always apologizing for getting off topic but I would never have said anything about. I'm very non-confrontational, plus it's a free board. You post what you want. Sad to see him go though, I found him entertaining.
  • Cowpattybill
    From cloverfieldclues.com: The Canadian news site CANOE.ca has a story about 22 year old Canadian actress Jessica Lucas, who plays Lily Ford. Tonight on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Lucas will continue her four-episode arc as Ronnie Lake, a sought-after young hot-shot investigator. Just prior to taping her CSI arc, however, Lucas spent several months working on the Abrams movie which has been dubbed Cloverfield in common parlance, but whose name has not officially been revealed. Abrams is the creator of TV series Lost, Alias and Felicity, and was the director of Mission Impossible III. First publicized prior to theatre screenings of Transformers, Cloverfield is scheduled to be released on Jan. 18, 2008. Plot rumours have centred on monsters attacking New York City, but Lucas wouldn't shed any light on the specifics. You know, sworn to secrecy and all that. "It really is kind of crazy, isn't it?" Lucas said of the Cloverfield buzz. "The hype has been unbelievable. And it doesn't even have a name yet. The trailer created such a stir. "When they first explained to us what they were going to do in terms of marketing, it sounded pretty weird. But obviously it has worked. And there are going to be more trailers coming out very soon, so that will give people even more reason to get excited." Lucas plans to spend the next couple of months helping to promote the movie. "The CSI thing just wrapped up so I'm going to have a little bit of down time right now, although it won't be for long," said Lucas, who splits her time between Los Angeles and Vancouver. "We already are planning all the promotion we're going to be doing for Cloverfield, or whatever you want to call it. So that's going to be my focus." Interesting, she said that were told what the marketing would be. That seems to differ from someone's "insider" account of releasing the trailer with no title as unplanned thing. Also, more trailers coming soon... woo hoo.
  • geezer
    artical about the whale that swam up the thames river, as mentioned on Slusho happy talk section http : //news. independent. co. uk/uk/this_britain /article340251. ece (without the spaces)
  • geezer
    just a couple things that came to mind what if the monster needs the deep sea nectar (that may or may not be the secret ingredient for slusho) to survive? and what if slusho or the secret ingredient has a huge market in new york city (e.g warehouses where they store the nectar, or several dozen slusho factories), and thats why the monster went specifically to nyc. and if the monster is looking for the nectar/slusho to live then that could mean that he is already dying, and the roars through the trailer we heard were the signs of him/her going through pain and not anger. also i think japan and new york have some kind of import exchange, so maybe the ingredient is imported from japan and the monster followed the scent from a japanese boat (if they use boats still, im not sure) on to nyc
  • volpe

    OK ok ok... enough of all of this! 1.) and i feel this is the biggest one, this whole ehtan haas is right (wrong) depending on the blog you're on, is NOT, i repeat NOT in any way shape or form connected to this 1-18-08 project. it is an ang rpg game if you're into gaming check it out, they seem to have quite the elaborate set up to get its players involved and wanting more, if you're a movie buff such as myself, you're wasting your time . 2) as you watch the trailer, pay attention to the names of the characters, they all have MySpace profiles http://www.myspace.com/robbyhawkins would be one, his top friends are all characters from the movie, however they all seem to accept friend invites from anyone. but only display comments from the movie's characters 3) from what i have found, http://www.slusho.jp/, the aforementioned MySpace accounts, the http://www.1-18-08.com website which incase some of you haven't figured out by now, a hand full of the pics on that site contain writing on the back (the pics can be flipped by dragging them to the front of the pile & shaken with your mouse & the one written in japanese seems to be a recipe of some sort), and http://www.jamieandteddy.com (click on the image of the teddy bears and type the password "jllovesth" without the quotes) and there are currently a total of 3 webcam videos there, none of which shed any light on Cloverfield's events but these are all official sites. as far as what this monster is, it's NOT godzilla if it is, i'm pissed already and they wasted too much of my time. it's NOT voltron how do i know this so definitively? well, voltron is a 20th century fox project for one, and its slated for 2009 or 2010. as for any of the rest of the speculation, i have to say i don't think i want to know what it is. i'd have to say i'll be disappointed if i see what is terrorizing new york city this time before i pay my $9.50 on 1-18-08 i'm actually more curious what the hell this slusho is & why i cant have just 6. but there will be a new trailer for the film that drops on 11-16-07 in front of beowolf with its ACTUAL name!
  • Amy
    I hope this movie lives up to its hype, it kind of scares me that it missed the Christmas season by a matter of weeks. That tells me that it might not be good enough to go up against I Am Legend, AVP2, Sweeny Todd or even National Treasure 2. Let's hope I'm wrong....

  • http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington
    Hey guys... I decided not to post that trailer description or anything about the title until this weekend. I actually see Beowulf tomorrow night, and I'm hoping the new Cloverfield trailer is in front of it. I really don't believe the title is just Cloverfield, I am pretty sure that's just a placeholder... So that's why I'm waiting to see the trailer myself and confirm the title (and anything else) on Friday when I see Beowulf. So stay tuned!! Your trusty webmaster, - Alex
  • H.P.
    It is most def in front of Beowulf. I can confirm that. However I can't confirm the title drop. Only two more trailers are hitting. This next one is a different teaser. The one that hits in mid to late December is the real deal.
  • Cowpattybill
    Is anon serious? Wow I had no idea you could flip the pictures. Just shake them eh? And you're sure it's not voltron? Damn. Still though I think he says "It's huge, it's a lion"...... Anyway. I don't think I will be able to see Beowulf so unfortunately I'm going to have to hear about the trailer before I actually see it. By the way, I don't really think he says "Lion". I was just kidding.
  • Cowpattybill
    Found this: The noted http://www.tagruato.jp subsidiary: Bold Futura, now has an updated website! The Bold Futura website said to be “fake” just a couple of weeks ago due to spelling and grammar errors has now changed completely! The previous Bold Futura website had a schedule that went like this: 1) Website was created with grammatical and spelling errors. 2) Website was taken down, “under construction”. Cloverfield fans noted the spelling and grammar errors. This point being the start of “fake website” topics. 3) Website reappeared without spelling or grammar errors. Cloverfield fans at http://www.1-18-08news.com/forum theorized one of their own created the website and was “watching” there forums. 4) Website was taken down again 5) Website has now again reappeared totally reformatted, looking a lot more professional. We are still investigating the website. Any new news will be posted surely in the near future. 6) Website has yet again been proven a fake. Props to our own member Dennis for providing this link of the template used, http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/14416.html. 7) Website has been taken down AGAIN!! Can you find the next template they will use? lol. Head now to http://www.boldfutura.jp to see the website yourself. I suspected it was a fake. I noted one of the spelling errors here but for some reason it never posted and I didn't have the energy to type it all in again.

    Thanks for the info Alex. Great site by the way, been meaning to tell you that. I like how you come in all dark gray and all that. Real menacing. Nice show of power. I've got to get me something like that.
  • Jared
    the guy said i saw it it's a lion it's huge. why would he say it's alive, if it's moving and can cause destruction then of course it's alive. if all he said was i saw it it's a lion then you'd be like no it aint how can a lion cause explosions and throw the statue of liberty's head. so that's why he added it's huge so you'll know that if a lion is huge then it's obviously a mutated lion with the ability to cause explosions and grip a statues head rip it off and throw it. but hey that's my thought. when the movie comes out and i'm wrong then oh well no one knows what movie it is so i'd expect people not to critisize me for my opinion. people say its a godzilla sequel to the 98 movie and other people say it can't because godzilla movies are not allowed to be made for a loooooong time and maybe it is godzilla 2 and they are keeping it secret b/c of that reason. it could be the halo movie b/c halo the movie was scheduled to be released this year but was changed to next year. i read it on http://www.upcomingmovies.com but now it says the release is unknown so its a possibility. what is alias about? i never watched it

  • H.P.
    Wow Jared!!! You got alot of investigating ahead of you. I feel bad for people getting into this so late in the game. They have missed out on a very fun idea. I think cloverfield has set the standard for the viral marketing hunt. This concept gets you more connected to characters and uses multimedia to it's full advantage. If all this ended tommorrow I would have no regrets regardless of the outcome.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I agree with the "no regrets" H.P. I hope Alex doesn't mind but I'm going to use this site to plug something I've been working on. Inspired by Abrams mystery we've all been working on here for the past few months I've created my own clue hunting puzzle solving game. It's almost done, probably early December but I wanted to throw the website out there so you could bookmark it if you like. It should be fairly challenging and similar to what we're doing here. There will even be a message board to discuss the clues. I plan to have several "games", this will just be the first one. The next one (probably early next year) will be even better. Prepare yourselves. http://www.cluechaser.com Nothing there right now except a temporary logo but more coming soon.

    According to post 1596 Alex is supposed to be watching Beowulf. He could be watching it right now depending on what time zone he's in. I can't wait to read his thoughts on the cloverfield trailer.
  • http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington
    No luck, sorry guys! Beowulf was f*cking awesome, but they didn't show the Cloverfield trailer... I'm guessing they want to actually tie it with Beowulf's actual release on November 16th... so we'll have to wait a few weeks unfortunately...
  • H.P.
    If in fact the trailer is attached to Beowulf then the best I can do is an in depth review at about 3:00am eastern time. This is just a guess because there is a chance I may even watch the movie as early as 11:00pm. If I beg her to cancel the last showing then we may be looking at a review as early as midnight!! I wouldn't want any customers missing Fred Clause. I mean I would be scrooge to do something like that. lol!!!!

    I'm so sick of waiting for new stuff to come out... I want some damn answers... It's been 4 months since we have seen the trailer.. We haven't gotten even that much since then!! Come on Abrams stop making us wait so long!!

    I'm with you, LuLu. I have never posted on this or any Cloverfield/Slusho/whatever the hell it's called movie forum before, but building suspense has its limit, and Abrams is running the risk of mystery giving way to apathy.

I would call it TMI, Total Movie Immersion.

  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Interesting info on cloverfieldclues.com The writers in Hollywood (WGA) have officially begun their strike today. This means NO new material for your favorite movies or TV shows, although TV will be hit the hardest. Starting today all "live scripted" shows will be in reruns, which means no new Letterman, Leno, Daily Show, Colbert Report, or even SNL. The current crop of fall season TV shows have four to five shows "in the can", with another one to five scripts already written that could be filmed - that is, "if scripts are in tip-top shape and can shoot without any changes". After that, the season will have to end early. The big question here is, how will this affect Cloverfield? The movie itself has already been filmed and should be in "post". The only thing that might be affected is if any scenes need to be changed or re-shot, there would be no writers around to help. The future of Cloverfield "ARG" however seems uncertain. While there is probably a outline for what they want to accomplish, I doubt there is an entire script already written out. In the Lost Experience ARG, one of the writers of the show (Javi) was the "main dude" running the show. There already hasn't been any updates in over two weeks. Hopefully, they have been using this time to stockpile something so this can continue until the movie release. If we are lucky, the ARG was subbed out to a marketing firm, like Hi-Res (the company that ran The Lost Experience), and won't be affected by the strike. Knock on wood (six times for good luck!) BTW, The reasons for the strike are complicated, but the main sticking points are the WGA wanting a bigger cut of DVD sales and the "nets" not wanting to pay for TV shows watched online, which they consider "promotional".
  • H.P.
    Rest easy cowpatty. I assure you the strike will not affect any current movies, however any rumored movies like say Ghostbusters 3, Captain America, Spiderman 4, and the long awaited Halo could very well be shelved for quite some time. Also don't let anyone tell you cloverfield won't be released. It's a very hot rumor and it's being made up by people who don't understand the strike.

  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Sadly no. I do not have the time or the funds to check it out. Too bad though. I really get excited about this kind of stuff. I remember I once drove 3 hours with a friend of mine to go see Meet Joe Black, a movie I had already seen and in my opinion a dreadfully bad movie, because the preview for Star Wars - The Phantom Menace was showing for the very first time. I remember that we saw the trailer then jumped to a different theater and watched I Still Know What You Did Last Summer instead. Not much better.
  • volpe
    this is going to be better than transformers all of our theories have led up to this the title of cloverfield and right before this bad ass movie beowulf which i cant wait to see the only thing i hope to see in the trailer is the monster(s)
  • geezer
    yea, im thinkin about goin to the cheapo theatre and catching the trailer since they dont have secutiry and only like 5 people work there, after i see the trailer im gonna hop over to the other side and catch saw 4 or somethin since im not a big fan of the beowulf thing (mostly because i know nothing about it)
  • H.P.
    Well geezer that's why you watch the movie. I would hate to think that someone would want to watch shitty saw 4 over some kick ass cgi so realistic you will shit your pants animated epic.

    I'm curious as to what the HANDS inituitive is. They mention it a few times on Bold. I know it has significance. I think Bold Futura are the ones that eventually stop the monster. They seem like the "go to guys" when Tagruato is in trouble.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I'm still holding to the theory that boldfutura is a bust. How do gamers say it? OOG?
  • DeniSSe
    yea i'm pretty sure it's OOG. there's no link connection to it on the tagruato site like it is for slusho.

    Hey hey hey, check this out. Sense most of you have probably been following closely. Check out the picture of the (two?) girls. (Or one that has just had her face split in half switched places and a little edit work, who knows?) Look in between the two girls where their hair meets... IS THAT A MONSTER?!?!?! Look at the gray. I just saw a face at first, come to find I can see a nose an eye, eyebrow line, and maybe an ear. CHECK IT OUT! At the "official" website, it is just to the right of the left womans eye.
  • geezer
    GEE WHILAKERS!!! i didn't even notice that sammy, thanks a bunch =)
  • dudeman1
    GEE WEEZ! MORE OLD OLD OLD NEWS! Im so ExCITED!
  • H.P.
    Sammy where the fuck have you been? That was one of the first things found way back in July. Do I have to post the newbie board again. It sucks when I get the e mail that there are new comments. I get all excited and then I get treated to people like sammy over here. I guess it's getting to that point where now the mainstream is jumping on the band wagon.

    Hey Guys, Ok I don't know if you guys have seen this, I've been catching up on the posts tonight and was a little lazy so if this is something you guys have already seen SORRY! There has def. been a leak about the new trailer.. Go to this website to read a pretty vivid description of what happens: http://www.chud.com/index.php?type=news&id=12367 I'm not sure if this is 100% legit but if it is true it sounds sweet!! What we learn from this new trailer "supposedly" : * There are smaller monsters as well as one BIGGIN! * The title of the movie reads "Cloverfield" at the end of the trailer (wow?) * Lots of CHAOS!! (Beware if you get motion sickness) * The characters in this film have no idea what the hell this creature is and it's really scaring the sh**t out of them Check out the site.. There is dialogue from it and everything.. Good stuff.. Hope it's real...
  • Nathan
    Yeah, I've been aware of this "leak" for about a week now. Still haven't heard of anyone debunking it, however, so it could be the real deal. Roll on, November 16th!
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Yes H.P. I agree. There will be alot of new "faces" on the board here especially after Nov 16. This particular discussion has so many posts now no one will bother to read them all so if we want to continue to post in this discussion we have to excercise some patience, tolerance, and restraint. I wonder if there is a way to have a private discussion board somewhere where only the main 10 or so of us could post. Ah but then that's segegation or racism or unfair treatment or unequality or we'd be considered first class passengers and everyone else would be steerage or something like that. Disregard. BTW, http://www.cluechaser.com now has a message board, with pre-game discussion going on. It is set to start in early December. Sign up so I can stop mentioning it here. If you like this cloverfield game then you will like ClueChaser.

    Sorry for the repeated info.. Perhaps someone will see my message that hasnt heard about the new trailer and maybe it will make their day lol.. Do you guys think the new trailer will appear online on the 16th as well? Or will it take a few days? Maybe I should just go see Beowulf.. it looks pretty bad ass.. :P
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Are you kidding me? I have checked that site every day for the past week. I checked it just a couple hours ago and nothing was there. Damn! Oh well, I guess I'll check it out.
  • geezer
    weird vid, and i can't help thin that "the glass helmets" is an anagram or has a double meaning or something like that
  • Nathan
    LuLu, I'm not sure how if anyone may know of this site, but http://stage6.divx.com/ gets videos uploaded pretty fast. I was able to download an excellent quality video of the first trailer within days of it premiering before Transformers. I'm not sure who got it or how it was obtained, but I think its better left as "don't ask, don't tell"
  • H.P.
    here is an old post of mine #512 Ok heres something new. The four posters handed out at comicon. Only three have titles. Monstrous, Furious, Terrifying. The fourth has no title. Why would the fourth have no title? I believe this to be a very significant clue and it goes hand and hand with the slusho stuff. We know that the first creature is land based, the second creature flies, and the third is a sea creature. Are these titles on the posters descriptions of the three monsters or one. Also you can find evidence of three monsters in the trailer. Three roars. I could be wrong but I counted three roars spread out. As far as the pics on the official site go look very closely for evidence of the three different monsters. Maybe all three monsters combine to form one which I believe would be the title of the movie.
  • LuLu
    Sjihttisthijs, your finds are very interesting. However, JJ already confirmed sometime ago that the monster will be something completely new because he believes "America needs its' own monster" .. So needless to say we are getting our own monster, something that is probably not based on an Irish mythological creature.. :)
  • LuLu
    Interesting stuff H.P. - What if it is one super monster? lol A creature that can swim, fly, as well as cause havoc on land.. That would be crazy stuff.. They say in the new trailer there is a smaller creature that starts like dragging this woman around and eats her or something (I forget exactly what they said the scene is). So I wonder if there are def. more than one TYPE of monster.. Or if there are baby ones like in Godzilla (which I think would be lame) hmmmm
  • Sjihttisthijs
    i don't know if this is mentioned before but, I still think it must be more than one monster. (three roars with three different events) If you look at the events that happens during the trailer, i've been noticing that the events are not in a logical order for only one monster 1) The first monster roar is accompanied by an earthquake (Behemoth) 2) The second monster roar is accompanied by a huge fireball (Leviathan, for it can breathe fire) 3) The third monster roar is accompanied by the flying Statue of Liberty head (Ziz). Or the monster is moving away from the city, or there are indeed more than one monster. I did a little research to confirm my story, (answers.com/wikipedia.com), and came out at documents about: behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz Need more backup to convince you... There is a picture of the set of cloverfield somewhere (can't find it anymore)on the internet. the picture shows the set of cloverfield in the streets of new york, and if you look closely you see that they are pointing the camera to the sky, and filming a flying creature between some buildings (i'm not joking with this one, but i can't find the picture. If somebody do, POST IT !!! please :) also if you look at the website of slusho, you can find more hints to this story. The main page background is on land, the Downloads page background is on air, and the History page background is on sea. more leads to the three creatures. Also you can check http://www.thegossiprag.com/movies/cloverfield-behemoth-leviathan-and-ziz/ Waiting for response and reactions... Peace
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Hmm. A giant monster that seems to have the characteristics of 3 other monsters all rolled into one. Kind of like a transformer. Maybe more than coincidence that the trailer was releaseed in front of Transformers. I also mentioned awhile back that perhaps the monster is female and looking for it's baby. Or perhaps it's pregnant and gives birth to little monsters. The only comment I wanted to make regarding your theory Sjihttisthijs is how do you know the cameras were filiming something flying? Could they not have been pointing up to film something very large? Like a giant monster? Nearby or right above?
  • Sjihttisthijs
    oh and by the way, i found something else interesting... It's about the word ''cloverfield''. This word is linked to a man called ''saint Patrick''. if you look it up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick and scroll down to the legend section, they mention 3 creatures that looks familiar to the story of the movie. Check it out and let me know... Peace
  • H.P.
    I just got word that there will be a trailer attached to Sweeney Todd. This is 100% confirmed. My source is my local theater. Like I have said in many posts before my girlfriend is an assistant manager so this info I recieved this morning is very true. The trailer that is attached to Sweeney is an extended version of the one we will see in front of beowulf. The trailer in front of beowulf has an approx runtime of 2 mins 11 secs. Looks like we will have plenty to talk about until x mas.
  • LuLu
    wow thanks for the info H.P. When does Sweeney Todd come out? I have not even heard of this movie? Does your source have the run time on the next trailer?
  • H.P.
    Sweeney Todd is the newest tim burton movie starring Johnny Depp. It comes out christmas day. I'm guessing this last trailer is a little christmas gift from JJ so I'm sure we will be in for a treat. Soon as I hear about the runtime I will post it.

    Sjihttisthijs, if the image your are talking about is of the white bird flying over the city, then im sorry to say that it was just a regular old dove that was resized with a photo editer
  • dudeman
    WOW, something new on IMDB's cloverfield site. I went to Movie Quote (all from the trailer) on the IMDB Site and got this -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [from trailer] Cameraman: King Kong’s lookin' a bit lost, huh? Rob: King Kong was a gorilla, that thing’s just ugly. Cameraman: So you forgot to shave again, huh? Rob: Hey, I ain’t got the climbing skills. Cameraman: With a girl like that? Rob: What’s that supposed to mean? Cameraman: Hey, hey, main guy remember? Rob: Yeah, well now there’s three... [looks up just as building collapses]
  • Sjihttisthijs
    well, that's the point. It's not sure if we're talking about the same image I'm still searching for the picture to backup the story and it took me all day, but still didn't found it. I'm going to search further. So... keep me updated...Peace
  • geezer
  • H.P.
    I'm not sure if this is enough confirmation, but my gf was told by her district manager that the title is Cloverfield. I guess we been searching for something that's been there the whole time. It's kinda disenchanting after all this, but I'm still holding out for something else.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I kind of agree HP. However, is there a name that could live up to the hype. To me Cloverfield is the only logical choice. That or 01-1-08. I think Cloverfield is more mysterious however.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    The new quotes on the imdb are quite interesting. It kind of sounds like maybe the monster has Rob's girl (Beth?) and he trying to figure out how to get her. Maybe the monster is climbing a building which is why the cameraman (Hudd?) is making the King Kong reference. Sounds kind of lame if I'm right.
  • H.P.
    It's kinda weird, but whenever I refer to 1-18-08 I always use the title Cloverfield. So I guess my overuse of the title has made the end result less mysterious. It's obvious but at the same time not many people use it. It would be cool if the monster blankets the city with green clover looking fields, and that's were these supposed small monsters hatch from.
  • me
    the movie is gonna be good...i dont c why everyone is trying to argue about it..get over it...its gonna be a fuckin fun ass movie to go c..and everyone knos it
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I found this at cloverfield clues and I think they got it from someone else. UPDATE: Thanks limedelsol for posting this in the comments. I have a few doubts about this, so take this as you will. Here is a “supposed” link to the band mentioned by Jamie in the video. The Glass Helmets, http://www.myspace.com/theglasshelmets , and according to their myspace: “The Glass Helmets bring together many disparate elements of the global metal scene into a sound that is fierce, often grandiose, but still earnest. Their still unreleased LP, “Hyperion and his disciples” is an album in the truest sense, with an often cryptic, but fairly clever narrative about physicists doing battle with the pantheon of greek gods in a dystopian future. While the arrangements could sometimes be called overcomplicated for the sake of showing their ability to count past 4, they often create a symphonic, apocalyptic space that is joyous and terrifying to visit. More at home in the company of 80’s scandinavian metal rather than many contemporary death metal bands, TGH intensity and cinematic quality will probably inspire more than a few teenage role-playing gamers to start bands of their own.” - St. John Scott / L.A. Audio Insider Now I’m a little skeptical because the page was created yesterday. Yeah, this could be because the video was released yesterday and they wanted to tie that in with the marketing, but you’d think if they knew they were going to mention a fake band, they would have at least registered the account a little while ago. I mean what unsigned band doesn’t have a myspace page these days, and obviously they have been around a little while if it’s one of their favorite bands… So again, not sure what to make of this and there’s not much there. Any thoughts? I'm skeptical as well.
  • Gordon Muir
    The theory on the turtle is pretty good but i think that would suggest that the movie is a remake of gamera and this is supposed to be original. I see something interesting when i look at the poster just a few minutes ago, i decided to point it out using photoshop, I cant believe i've never noticed this before. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v476/gokuromario/hr_1-18-08_1-copy.gif take a look at the original image and compare it, i wonder if this holds any clues.
  • dudeman1
    New Jamie and Teddy video. I think im falling in love with her *sigh* I know its not true, but i think it would be funny if J&T site had nothing to do with the movie and it was a realy couple ROFL that would be funny, but we all know it isnt and I like Jamie cuz she is cute and makes me want a super cool GF like that. She still hasnt opened her gift lets all fight "The Cause"
  • Neeb Yehia
    its a three headed lion a lion like the beast from revalations that is described to have come from the water, with lion like attributes in the movie it pretty much comes from the water theres a scratch in the statue of liberty, a lion creature like scratch and the roar... then again the roar could be anything but hear me out, lions are lame and uncreative, but something like a lion like a beast alluded to in revalations plus CLOVERfeild... clover = 3? wait, or is taht 4? whatever... im stickin to clover = 3 because it supports my cause

    I would rather not sell myself out. I think I can wait till ten o'clock tonight. I want the full experience!!! If I really wanted to I could get a high quality boot on my handy cam because when I preview movies nine times out of ten it's just me, my gf, and the projectionist. However I figured what's the point booting it, the trailer hits the apple site monday. Plus I think if I had to worry about booting it would ruin my theater experience. If it's as good as I'm hearing then I'm gonna be showing up everytime Beowulf plays up untill x mas.

  • LuLu
    Yea I just watched the version of the trailer on cloverfield news... It's really not that impressive. The quality of the video just ruins it. It got me really excited though because it looks sweet! I can't wait until the real version hits the internet because then we can peel that trailer apart piece by piece and really examine whats going on. Just going off of how quick each shot is we will have a lot to examine! Especially with the smaller monster shadow (it almost looks kinda human like?) and the helicopter scene (There is something hanging off the helicopter but I couldn't make it out at all). Ahhhh this trailer looks toooo amazing!!! It got me really pumped up!
  • LuLu
    So I just watched the trailer segment with the smaller monsters like 60 times in a row. I paused it and played it in slow mo so I could get a better look. The quality sucks but if you play it enough times you get a pretty good look at the smaller monsters... They are pretty funny looking. If I could describe them as anything (keep in mind it is still hard to get a great look at them) I would say they look like human size gremlins.. They have large prominent ears (not as big as gremlin ears, but still kinda looks like them) They have a large back, kind of like a hump? It was kind of funny because when I was playing the video segment by segment I could see that the monsters first looked like they were holding the lady's hand and then one of them picked her up and was like shaking her up and down. It was kind of funny to see this monster just pick this chick up by the neck and raise her up and down... Ahhh still cant wait for the real version then we can get a better look!!

    Ah yes of course. Its a "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" movie.
  • H.P.
    Lol!! No JJ I just want the full experience. You can't gather clues from some shitty cell phone recording. Plus I been waiting for this day and I just don't want it spoiled. I think there is a huge difference between watching a low quality cell phone recording and the real deal on the big screen with digital sound. I should have an in depth analysis on the trailer by early tomorrow. Ok I can't argue with you JJ I am a true nerd. Man I love this shit!!!!!

  • H.P.

  • HW
    Could this be a movie based on the video game, Rampage?
  • dudeman1
    I figured I would go ahead and make a courtesy stop at 1-18-08.com, and I re-looked at the pick of Jamie HUD and Rob. I have always wondered what that thing Hud was holding was. I thought it may be a key card or an ID for some company or some shit like that. I just glanced at it, and I dont know how many of you all realized it, or perhaps even posted it, but Hud is holding the Camera, as he is the one as we all know tapes the party. I just realized that was a camera and figured I would share the finding in case no one knew. Noting to big though
  • dudeman1
    HW, its an original Monster. I wonder how many times we are all going to say that in the upcoming weeks ...
  • dudeman1
    Ok, Awesome trailer. Me and a couple friends found the movie to seem sorta scary lol. Definately noticed some strange things during the trailer. As we know it starts of with a recap of the party/explosion etc. Now, the thing I noticed was the statue of Liberty head. Its the same clip from the first one, only the statue head is way more realistic and has a scratch going through it, and the scratch looked as though something melted through it. Then we see a horrified Rob telling us "My name is Rob Hawkins, if your watching this you know more then I Do" Then a crap load of different scenes flying by for seconds each. I noticed an explosion viewed from above, like the camera was filming from on top of a building or a helicoptor. Then you see a soldier...now the strange thing about the soldier, is his face is pixelated out. This was very strange. Look for it when you watch the trailer. Then a bunch of scenes of frantic horror and running people. Then it goes to a grocery store. Its shaking and you hear the Roar (which oyu hear several times in this trailer) Then a man says "Rob! Rob I saw It!" now this is similar to the "I Saw it its alive" "I saw it its a Lion" argument. after the man says "I saw it!" he gets the "its a..." at the moment you hear the a the windows of the store crash in. All you can see behind the windows looked like smoke. Then you get a bunch of high action scenes of the Army running down the street shooting upward and tanks firing. Then you see one of the girls getting into a helicopter, then the headless statue of liberty, then the helicoptor spinning out of control from the cameras point of view inside of the chopper. Now, i definately left a couple parts out. At the begining Rob is asking where beth is. You do see a very short glimpse of the mmonster going behind a building. The Shadow execution of the women... now this I think was strange. I dont know if im going to agree with smaller monsters, or go with my own theory of Mutated humans! They seem people size. This may have something to do possibly with Bold Futura or slusho... somehow the small people size monsters must tie in with Tagruato, thats my theory. Very exciting Trailer! I now feel I can watch the shitty cell phone version, im glad I waited for the real one. Things to look for 1. Realistic Statue of liberty head with a melted scratch in the face 2. Pixeled out army dudes head as he says "Whatever it is, its winning" 3. The Shadow execution 4. The very quick view of the monster 5. The Grocery store "I Saw it, Its A...." Those are the big questions and stuff. Also, be prepared for fast scene changes of people frantically running around. God, im so much more excited for this movie. The trailer is worth the money to go see Beowulf. Beowulf wasnt to bad. Go watch the trailer, the real one. Or wait for the HD one to be released.

The animation was the best I have ever seen aside from Final Fantasy Advent Children. I would even say the animation was better than ff.

    I think that someone should take the new trailer when it comes out in HD and connect it to the first one, taking out the rewind part at the beginning of #2 so there is one uniterrupted trailer. That would be interesting to see. And maybe another that slows down the scenes that flash by so quickly so you a couple extra seconds to take it in. Dean

    Look very close. On my trailer it's from 56 seconds to 59. Looks like two gigantic monsters fighting. You can even see a helicopter fly by the monster on the right side.

    It looks like it has a blade type object on its arem , because it is not a slach but a stright swipe across and through the throat. The head falls off backward. Is it proof of mutated humans, taken over by parisites or smaller baby monsters or one big mothe killing the SOL?

    wowzers, cant wait till later tonite or tommorow, i been tryin to stay strong enuff not to view the bootleg one. but anyway, cowpatty i will deffinately put the 2 trailers together to make one MEGA trailer, and i will also slow the new trailer down so you can view the super fast clips, actually, i can slow the new one down now using the high quality trailer that they have on youtube
  • geezer
    heres a video analysis done by derville http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IXkmf22fq8
  • LuLu
    That would be awesome if you could slow down those fast shots geezer.. They sure do fly by! I still don't see where the big monster passes through the buildings. Did anyone catch that in the bootleg version? The shots are so quick and many of them are dark as well so it's really hard to make out the shots! I am probably going to see Beowulf tonight so I wanna know when to look for the big monster. When does he grace us with his presence in the trailer?
  • dudeman1
    i cant remember where exactly you see him lulu, but during the real version i didnt have a problem missing it. It was like a camera shot looking down the street and you just see some wierd object move quickly behind the buildings. I saw it as a a blue-greenish thing. Couldnt make out any shape though. I cant remember where exactly it was though. Also, I did see the Cloverfield movie poster at the Regal theatre I saw beowulf at. I thought that was exciting. It was the classic 1-18-08 poster with "CLOVERFIELD" on the bottom. Im assuming it came with the Beowulf reels
  • dudeman1
    Also, A crap ton of Promotional screens available at cloverfieldclues. Lots of Guys in Chem suits, which is another reason i think that there are like human mutations which explain the smaller monsters.
  • Blackbird
    is it just me or does that shadow of the monsters in the new trailer look a lot like the shadow of a bear standing on it's back legs? I mean the ears and the mouth and the hands. If anyone can get a still of the shot I'm talking about (it's when it picks up a human(?) and tares it apart) and compare that shadow to a bear shadow, the similarities are uncanny. And yes I am standing by the bear theory as stated before with the over mention of the show, Man Vs. Wild in the characters' myspace. (Bear is the name of the host of that TV show)
  • dudeman1
    I really cant see what everyone else sees with this whole shadow deal. I have seen the real trailer to and I still couldnt see "little monsters" or anything like that. Shit, I couldnt even see a women being decapitated let alone lifted up. I guess we all need to wait for the HD trailer to be released via net. I do strongly believe that the shadows are of men in Chem suits (and I thought this when i saw the trailer on screen before I saw actual screens of guys in chem suits) restraining another person. I really dont think they are monsters. I think it was put in the trailer to lead us on. I mean really. Guys in Chem suits... re look. The chick is obviously going nuts. Guys in Chem Suits. No Little Monsters. Im standing by it. Guys in Chem Suits. Thats all. All this sword arm monster stuff is way to sci-fi. Again, its an Original MONSTER. Not Monsters" I dont think there are little ones.
  • geezer
    i totally agree dudeman, i just viewed the trailer for the first time and i noticed the simularity between the guys in the chemical suits and the shadow figures right away. so what i believe is that there is some kind of infection going around among the people caused by the monster or the little monsters (if there are actual little monsters) and the chem guys were trying to subdue her because if your look at this promo pic http://bp0.blogger.com/_YPCf8JFgUdI/Rz4iRY4bG1I/AAAAAAAABI8/DFFq-8e4REM/s1600-h/pf_slide_clover12.jpg rob looks more afraid of the girl than concerned
  • geezer
    heres a comparrison pic i made of the shadow figures and the promo pic http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k142/BIGGEORGEFROMHS/chem3.jpg and heres a capture pic of the monster ( i circled it instead of outline it because i got some cheap software, the monster is right behind the building visible in the circle) http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k142/BIGGEORGEFROMHS/monster3.jpg ill be doing more stuff with the trailer later on including slowing it down and making other comparrisons i guess
  • LuLu
    Just saw Beowulf and of course the new trailer in theatres. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! It got me so pumped up. I def. agree -- MUCH better in the theater! lol not sure if this has really been brought up yet but did you guys notice the rating?? It's rated R for extreme gore and violence or somethin along those lines! So i'm thinking this film is going to be extremely bad ass because we get all the blood and guts along with a kick ass monster!
  • LuLu
    ack sorry for the repeat.. I swear this board acts kinda quirky on me sometimes... :(
  • LuLu
    Ok I just viewed Geezer's little comparison pic and after seeing that it is hard to believe that the shadows are really monsters. They look undoubtedly like the chem guys. Kudos to dudeman and to geezer of course.. Alright so this is what i'm trying to figure out: The girl in the promo pic (It looks like Beth?) has blood all over the right side of the body. Her wound is concentrated in such an area that she had to have gotten bit or perhaps shot with something? Obviously she could not have been bitten by the big guy. She would be in pieces! If she was hit by debris she would not be handled by chem guys! So she must be infected by something.. That is a general hypothesis made by many on this board... But the question is how? How the hell did she get wounded? What do you guys think? Here is a thought in progress: I'm truly hoping there aren't smaller monsters.. I love the one big guy concept much better.. So re-cap back to the first trailer.. Remember those fire ball things? We couldn't figure out what the hell they really were.. What if they are something the monster releases and within this fireball thing there are some sort of infectious debris that once released will target humans and latch on or something in order to infect and eventually kill off people? Just a thought :) I wanna hear ideas.. Let the fun begin!!
  • dudeman1
    Awesome pics Geezer. I cant wait for the HD version to release to the net so we can get a more crisp monster pic, but for what we have your pic is great. (looks like a maggot lol) And the Chem suit comparison, that pic rocks. I mean, the trailer really does seem like they are subduing somebody. If anything the chick is the monster lol. Maybe this is going to be a Monster/Zombie movie O.o
  • France113
  • geezer
    i jsut made a vid that im gonna post on here later, its a bit lengthy but its worth watching, its about a few things i noticed in the trailer. including the chick being subdued, i couldnt believe my eyes lol
  • geezer
    here ya go guys and girls, the first part is just a little enhancement of the trailer, i lightened it up a bit and slowed down the super quick shots. if you wanna skip through that part then just skip to about 3 minutes in, and thats when the disection begins enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nUfyB0SEPk
  • Sjihttisthijs
  • volpe
    maybe im wrong but looking at the monster pic geezer posted it looks like a dinosaur almost and it seems like its running towards the soldiers not away from them the head is the top and then look at how the body is shaped
  • dudeman1
    Volpe, the monster is moving behind the building. You will see it when you watch the trailer. For your heads up the monster is seen during the part of the trailer where the army is seen shooting toward the sky.
  • dudeman1
    Geezer, sweet vid man
  • dudeman1
    Just throwing an idea out. I think that maybe the picture of the Mist on the 1-18-08 site has to do with the whole Linadia bleeding out her eyes behind taken down by the guys in the Chem suits. I think the mist might fuck with people some how. Obviously there is some kind of contamination if there are guys walkin around in chem suits, and i can totally put that together with the mysterious mist picture
  • dudeman1
    New promotional photos on cloverfieldclues deuces
  • geezer
    i thought about that too dudeman, but i was also thought about what happend on september 11th and what happend to some of the people that survived. a few months after the towers fell some people started complaining about being sick, and doctors or scientists or whoever found out that the people were poisened from all the toxic dust and debris that got in the victims lungs. so maybe the mist is really debris and dust from buildings falling, and since the movie is post 9/11 im sure the army and the biohazard guys are ready to do work whenever. which would explain why the chem guys came, but they just ended up getting more than they expected lol, im tryin to make as much sense as i can oh and by the way, i have no doubt that there are smaller monsters now, lily's are has 3 claw marks in it that match the claw marks in the statue of liberty's head
  • dudeman1
    yeah, I saw that pic also and I was like "hmm, I guess there are little dude monsters" then there is that new promo pic of Rob and... and I dont remember who else, trying to shut that door
  • Corey
    I just looked randomly at possible website information and came up that cloverfieldmovie.com has been registered since feb of 2007 so that might be something to keep looking at as time goes on. Also has anyone considered that this might just be simply another godzilla movie just with the "zilla" baby from the original 98 film growing up and taking revenge on NYC? I saw a video out there that discovered that cloverfield came from the lyrics of a band and their album cover had a zilla iguana on the cover?? JJ might just be f*ing with us but just throwing it out there.
  • Corey
    Follow up: I was referencing WolfMother and their song Fields of Clover Here's a link to the cover http://cache.consumerist.com/assets/resources/2006/09/B000EJ9MTW.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg I should also give props to post 444 I didn't realize this was a re-post. PEOPLE SERIOUSLY! think about all the similarities between 1998 Godzilla and this? Occam's Razor: "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best." -Corey
  • dudeman1
    Corey, im going to not be nice here. SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT GODZILLA. Thankyou, thats all
  • dudeman1
    hey did anyone notice something wierd about 40-41 seconds on cloverfieldclues uploaded trailer? I cant really see it because of the Awesome quality but it looks like something flies by the camera, and the view is looking down like the camera is ontop of a building. But again, cant make it out, but it looks like something flies by...? the object is kinda lit up, like a missile, but i cant tell. So check it out I want to see if anyone else can see it
  • geezer
    actually corey, that was my video that you're talking about, i made it a long time ago. see... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sTliu6wZO0 and yea dudeman i noticed that too, and im pretty sure its too missles.
  • geezer
    or two jet fighter planes, whatever it is its 2 of them
  • Corey
    I've searched through the posts and I don't know if anyone else notices this but there is a monster in the poster. I can kind of make out a face of somekind. It would be crazy stupid if it was the smoke monster from LOST but I doubt it.
  • dudeman1
    Dude, Corey... obviously you didnt research much. 1 its an Original monster 2. you can see the monster in the trailer. Yeah, maybe there might be some "face"in the poster, but then again thats all up to the imagination. Its not a smoke monster. I bet your going to think its Cthulu next. FUCK Get up to speed. Do you know what Slusho! is even? BlEH
  • geezer
    Hello corey (and other beginners), welcome to the world of cloverfield. Over these few months the good folks here at http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/07/09/jj-abrams-cloverfield-1-18-08-trailer-officially-hits/(a.k.a the greatest cloverfield board in the world) have discoverd quite a few things. the following are the amazing things they have discovered: (in no particular order, kinda) the monster is not godzilla the monster is not zilla from godzilla 1998 version the monster is not the smoke monster from lost the monster is not voltron the monster is not a lion the monster is not god the monster is not a megazord from power rangers the monster is not goku from dragonball z the monster is not the beast from 20,000 fathoms the monster is not your aunt shelly from idaho the monster is 100% original and brand new there are possible smaller monsters large amounts of slusho at rob's party could be the reason why the monster came to new york city the statue of libery's head in the trailer is smaller than the statue of liberty's head in real life the photos at slusho.jp are flipable there is a monster's roar on slusho.jp tagrauto.jp is connected to the movie all 4 of the jamie and teddy videos warbloid.com is a fake the main charecters have myspace pages ethanhaaswasright.com has nothing to do with cloverfield (all i can think of at the moment, any regulars to the board feel free to add on) so beginners wont come in posting things we found out months ago
  • dudeman1
    Actually I dont remember when I posted this, but I did a SOL head study back a while ago and it actually is pretty well proportioned in the Trailer. I dont know if anyone else noticed this, its kinda obvious but the new trailers SOL head looked alot more realistic to me. :) and geezer, wtf man how do you know its not Goku from DBZ. Jeez. jp Its a giant Terrorist Deuces
  • dudeman1
    Oh, geezer you left 1 thing out. The 1-18-08 site Roars at you after 6 minutes ;) we are a bunch of hatin mother f***ers up in here.
  • geezer
    yup the SOL head does look alot more realistic in the new trailer, i mentioned that in my vid and that would suck ass if it was a dbz movie lol (not saying that dbz sucks) i just wouldnt be into it if they made a live action version of dbz. and yea i usually dont hate, but the beginners are gonna come stormin in here pretty soon, so i might as well be prepared
  • H.P.
    Geezer and Dudeman. Thanks for tag teamin the newbie over the weekend. It made for some laughs on this shitty monday morning. all the stuff mentioned over the weekend about the trailer was all well and good, but nobody mentioned the fact that there was two different trailers. The only difference between the two is the first 20 seconds or so. Also I was messing around with my trailer all freakin weekend. I stumbled upon something very important. A close up of the monsters face. Mostly the eyes and snout. I will post back with the exact time. My gf was able to secure the movie poster this weekend. I still haven't seen it yet, but by the way she is acting it must be very cool. I get to see the poster after I get off work today.
  • volpe
    just throwing out an idea but wat if the government already knew about this and they were the ones who created it. maybe that guy who says "its alive" because he could be a scientist who was working on the experiment sorta like the movie DOOM but like i said im just throwing out ideas i havent quite seen the trailer yet
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Geezer, you missed that it's not a Rampage movie either. I plan to take at the picture at cloverfieldclues that shows Hud and Jason and Lily sitting around someone's office. I wonder if the stuff on the walls and desk can tell us anything.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Geezer, nice vid, kind of creepy when two people from the audience walk in front of the screen during the convience store (that's what it looks like to me) scene. At first I thought it was part of the trailer. I don't think the shadowy thing passing near the girls is a little monster. I think they would be scared if it was. I don't think the aid station is treating people infected with parasite. Not saying there isn't a parasite, just saying I don't think that is what is wrong with those people. If it was parasite I think they would be handled by guys in chem suits. I don't think the woman is mutating into something with wings and tail. I just think it's shadows. Just my opinion. Wrong or right, great work.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    The trailer has been posted. Very nice http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=21492
  • H.P.
    WoW!!!! Cowpatty, I'm impressed you found that. Very good quality!!!! It actually debunked my spotting the creatures face. I would agree with you cowpatty on a number of points you have brought up. I don't believe there are smaller monsters.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Okay geezer. Both trailers are available in HD but in different formats I presume. If possible, string them together and remove the fast-fowarding part at the beginning of 2 and just take it from the SOL head rolling.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Ahh don't be impressed HP. I must give credit where credit is due. Cloverfieldclues.com was just updated to indicate that Empire said they would be releasing the trailer today. I merely checked to see if it was there and voila! There it was. No I just have to go to my mother-in-laws house to actually HEAR it!
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Someone mentioned it before but I mention it again now. Why was the soldier's face pixelated out? Will it be like that in the movie? Perhaps when the military found the video they did it because that soldier was someone important. I suspect that we will be here for a very long time after the movie is released picking it apart and discussing it. It seems there will be too many unanswered questions.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill

    Apple now has the trailer up as well. Also, cloverfieldclues has some promotional photos. Two of them show Rob and Hud and Lily and I think Beth in someone's apartment. In this photo:http://bp2.blogger.com/_YPCf8JFgUdI/Rz4iQ44bGzI/AAAAAAAABIs/5KTXo2k2g2g/s1600-h/pf_slide_clover9.jpg It looks like something is stuck in her chest near her left arm. It's not in the other picture. Maybe it was pulled out. What was it? Was it something from the monster/little monsters? Shrapnel? debris? Something fired from a military weapon like a poisonous dart or something?
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I noticed an interesting thing when I was going through the trailer frame by frame. The status of liberty head is obviously different (already stated) and now it gets a brief allumination when the street light explodes. The screen goes black and then there are a couple more frames showing the head but the light post is no longer touching the ground, it's about 10 fee off the ground. Poor editing I suspect.
  • H.P.
    I can't take it!!!!!! Only two hours left before I can see this poster. My gf is acting so strange. I guess she sent me a picture message last night but her messaging is screwy. She knows I have already seen the standard poster which leads me to believe that this poster is not the teaser poster!!!!! It's just weird that she keeps asking me if I got the picture. You would think she would just give up on sending something I have already seen. I just know she has a surprise in store for me. Also whenever big movies come out nine times out of ten I get some sort of t shirt or promo ball cap or lapel!!!
  • geezer
    a cloverfield shitr would be awesome!!! and im gonna post the "MEGA TRAILER" in a lil bit, so make sure you keep checkin' in

    After reviewing the trailer second by second I noticed a few things that aren't conclusively going to prove anything but I have a couple snapshots that people might want to analyze themselves. 1: The most exciting. Timeframe 1:28 - 1:29 - The only possible footage of the monster and from what I've gathered it's got a hornet-like tail and some sort of brontosaurus-type horn coming out of the back of it's head. It sort of resembles the creature in the movie Alien... http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/11808.JPG - picture without my 2 cents http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/11808.bmp - picture with my outline 2. At 1:34 - 1:35 there looks to be some sort of creature walking through the flames for a quick moment. Not ruling anything out, just letting you know what I saw. http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/11808monster.bmp 3. When the bridge is being torn apart at 1:56 - 1:58 if you observe it frame by frame you will hopefully be able to see a man standing on the bridge in the bottom left with glasses that seems to be clueless as to what's about to happen to him. http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/15711808.bmp - again snapshot without modification http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/15711808number2.JPG - with me pointing out the gentleman Hope to get more feedback from all of you on discoveries soon!

  • decker
    just saw the new trailer, been awhile since I posted here, as excited as I am to see this movie by one of the greats (jj abrams), I am not investigating every little detail like I do with the best tv show ever in LOST but I still have to say that whatever that 'thing' is, it still sure sounds a lot like the 'thing' from LOST! I def agree with everyone who says it's a new 'thing' not some recreation of gozilla or anything and it will be a winner cause LOST related or not it is by abrams and he is one of the best new TV/FILM makers out there!!!
  • dudeman1
    Yo, HP Where is this giant hand? Also, just a couple of things i noticed The helicoptor is numberd "402" which is 6 and I saw the empire trailer because applewont work, but at the end it doesnt say 1-18-08 anymore it just says 2008
  • dudeman1
    OH FUCK ME, THAT IS A HAND!
  • LuLu
    Are you guys saying the giant thing that moves past the buildings very quickly is a hand and not just the body of the monster? Hmmm I dunno I just don't see it... Seems like if that was the case the whole statue of liberty would be thrown and not just the head...
  • Thrawn
    I don't know about anyone else, but to me, the smaller creatures behind the screen look like giant rats, especially the one on the right. Take a look at the hunched over stance, the ears, and the way it attacks the victim. I kind of noticed it when watching the trailer at normal speed, then when I paused and played during that scene, it made me think it even more. Perhaps the Slusho mutated the rats in the sewers. If the creature comes up from underground, that could make sense. Big city, lots of rats around. Just a thought.

    also, i dont think the movie takes place over one night, i think it takes place over one night, one day, and part of that night or something, because in the new trailer the time on the watch tower in the background when the brooklyn bridge gets distructed reads 9:56 and the monster supposedly makes its appearance around 12 in the morning

  • H.P.
    The hand is clearly seen!!! It's pushing a building over going from left to right. Trust me. I watched the apple trailer on my macbook and zoomed in. As for the head being thrown.....I think maybe these smaller monsters are not really that small. Sure they may be small compared to the monster. My theory is that there is three monsters that attack three different ways. Fire, parasite, and the gigantic one just destroys everything. As for smaller monsters in numbers, I don't see any evidence to support it. Also just to clear one thing up because it's very clear in the apple trailer. Those supposed things behind the curtain are 100% most def guys in chem suits. Does everyone remember all the lovecraft clues. I think there were a few on the myspace pages. The Kraft cheese logo on the production paperwork, the fact that jj is a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan. These are all hints as to how big the monster is. It may even be bigger than Cthulhu. -The Four Horsemen-

    The inflection in the voice of the guy who says "Whatever it is, its winning" sounds almost pleasant like hes refering to "whatever" is defeating the monster and not the monster causing all of the destruction. maybe monster vs. monster
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Apparently Slusho! is showing up on the set of Heroes. http://gregbeeman.blogspot.com/ I don't think it's a hand HP. I don't think there is any monster in the fire above the subway steps. When I saw it I knew someone would mention it though I don't see anything to support multiple monsters except indirectly. It's about 50/50 for me as to whether there is more than one. Hey, did you know that you could flip the photos over on 01-18-08.com? Just shake them a bit. There's writing on the back of some. :>}
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill@myway.com
    I don't know if this is the same video or not but in this particular one you can clearly see the monster body and legs and him bending his right knee as he walks. http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd299/serversphere/?action=view&current=monster.flv Again, I don't know if this was modified but it sure is clear.
  • H.P.
    I'm sorry cowpatty, but I think I have to disagree. You need an HD clip. That way you can tell apart the debris from the monster.

    I'm gonna have to agree with Cowpattybill.. I just do not see how it is a hand, especially from the slo mo video clip of it. The monster's legs and body are clearly defined! Show me a pic where the shape of the hand is evident and then we'll see... I was surfing youtube and found a pretty good spoof of the first cloverfield trailer. The end got me rolling on the floor!

  • H.P.
    Good one Cowpatty!!!! Lulu I'm sitting here right now watching the apple trailer and I have zoomed, paused, and pulled my hair out a little. I'm sorry but I still see a hand. I don't see the monster like you guys are seeing it. I'm not afraid to admit being wrong. I just need more proof on what you see. I think what you two are seeing requires more of an outline than what I see. Basically what I'm looking at is a palm, thumb claw, and two knuckles toward the top.
  • H.P.
    Ok sorry if I'm posting alot, but just thought I would mention something that has been overlooked. When the jet flies by super zoom directly under it where the big explosion is. Looks like some "thing" breathing fire. If you can zoom in enough you can even see it's red eyes. Pause it right as the jet is flying out. It's a quick scene but there is def something there.
  • LuLu
    HP - can you get a screen shot of the zoomed version of the monster? I cant zoom in too much with my computer and it looks like you might have a better look at the monster.. I would like to see what you are seeing because if it is indeed a hand that sure is interesting! Also, I tried looking at the shot where you said that you think you can see the monster near the explosions. I had no luck seeing it, but I think it is because of the quality, it was just too blurry on my computer to make anything out.. Maybe you can snap a quick screen shot of what you are looking at?
  • geezer
    yea, i cant really see a hand either but i do see the knee that cowpatty was talking about on the photobucket video, reminds me alot of a t-rex, and i really hate to say this, and please forgive me for saying it but it does look alot like zilla's body with wings of some sort (forgive me) and here is a capture of what u were talking about h.p http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k142/BIGGEORGEFROMHS/breather2.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k142/BIGGEORGEFROMHS/breather.jpg

    How do you super zoom? Are you watching the one from Apple?
  • LuLu
    I found a good time lapse shot of the chick that is being subdued by the chem dudes in the shadows.. : http://picasaweb.google.com/dennisacevedo/CloverfieldTrailer2Screenshots/photo#5134804335860589298 This is great evidence for the theory that the "parasite" or whatever has a physical effect on humans.. I know a lot of people here believe the chick is mutating in the shadow shots. This pic gives great evidence that she is indeed mutating or something is happening to her. The thing thats bugs me now is WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO HER? It looks like she changes into a short, fat marshmellow woman.. lol def. not a flattering pic...
  • geezer
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Good pics Lulu. I don't think she's getting shorter though. If you look around the area of her knees there is a squarish box like shadow. In the pictures that she appears to get shorter the box also drops further down in the pic. I think if you line the square box up so it is level across all the pics you will see that she is the same size in each pic. This does in a way support the theory that something is happening to her because my initial thought was that she was getting closer to the light source so her shadow gets bigger but that doesn't seem to be the case. Her legs (which I believe are below the level of the curtain so you're seeing her actual legs and not a shadow) do not appear to get smaller as they would if she was in fact moving away from the screen and toward the light source.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Upon closer examination, maybe those are not her real legs but a shadow of them. Perhaps she's wearing some kind of jacket that is billowing open. I just don't think she is expanding because of some parasite/virus thing. I don't like that idea therefore it cannot be.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I don't have the time but someone who did could probably come up with a decent timeline for the sequence of events in the trailer based on things like the blood on Rob's shirt, who's in the shots and who isn't (Jason seems to disappear after awhile and it looks like Hud might bite it also) and the appearance/disappearance of Rob's jacket. The publicity photos could help as well because it appears that the blood on Rob's shirt comes from whoever is bleeding in the apartment photo (the one with something stuck in her chest)
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Create the timeline/sequence of events by using screen captures and the publicity photos. Anyone up to the task? Geezer? Phoenix? H.P.?
  • dudeman1
    Just something I wanted to say about the shadows, then Ill go into the hand and try to explain that. Now, its great we are all using imaginations, but with this whole shadow deal i think we need to look at the more logical and obvious explanation. There are promo pictures of Lenadia (Marlena Diamond) being detained by the chem suit guys. Now, if you watch that part of the trailer with the shadows, you notice as the camera pans left, you see what appears to be a doctor paying attention to whatever the hell he is doing. Now one would think if some chick was having some crazy unnatural mutations going on, he might be looking that direction. Now I looked at the screen capture from cloverfieldclues of how she looks fat and what not and it looks odd, but remember its a shadow and there could be numerous numbers of things in front of our light scource. The shadow images do strangely resember the promotional photo of Lenadia being held by the two chem suit guys. I disagree its a bloating mutating person. I Do agree that something is wrong with her, but we have to remember Lenadia's character doesnt really get along with people and maybe this has to do with the possible "episode" she seems to be having. What a nut bag. Thats my idea Now, ill explain the Hand Since i cant post links in here for some stupid reason, go to the "Monster" screen shot on cloverfield clues (this link problem pisses me off pretty bad) Now, look at it from top to bottom, then back up. YOu start at the top and you see the monster, now imagine this monsters little wing looking thing as fingers. Now move down, as you can see the building is falling, collapsing somewhat to the right as if it is being pulled, perhaps I just see that. But if a monster was walking through the building, im sure the building wouldnt be collapsing down like it is, it would fall over and you wouldnt see that much debris from the veiw point of the camera. Now I want everyone to watch the HD version of the trailer, not some shitty version and actually imagine it being a hand. Notice how much the movement resembles something pulling.... I mean, i agree with HPP, if IM wrong, im wrong and so be it I wont be upset, I just dont see a monster body ever appear in that scene. The only part of the monster you see appears at the top of the building. Imagine a giant creature kinda reaching in and pulling back. sorry that was really long I love you guys ;)
  • dudeman1
    then it double posts lol, jeez
  • dudeman1
    I want to retract my statement on the shadows... I didint notice how she actually gets kinda fucked up there... hmm. Kinda looks like something grows out of her or some shit. Damn I claim I was wrong on my previous statement after further reviewing the shadow scene. My appaulogies :) I still love you guys
  • dudeman1
    Something else I noticed. In trailer one, Rob is fallowed in to the surprise party by a guy video taping him. Trailer two, Rob is fallowed in by "That dude that Rob owes $11" Just something strange I noticed.
  • LuLu
    lol it's all good dudeman.. Here is something fun to do: Review the shadow scene over and over again, pausing it - rewinding it and playing it over and over again --- only this time pay attention to AUDIO ONLY... You will hear some interesting things.. First there is that AWFUL scream from the girl, also a sort of "hiss" sound and then there is something that sounds like dripping water, or some kind of slime (it has a slimey sound to it if that makes any sense lol) Now right about the same time the girl looks like she is expanding/mutating her scream gets louder and it is followed by thunder... Hmm thunder?? Is that for dramatic effect for the trailer because it is certainly not storming.. I also find it interesting that the scientist dude that is shown right before the crazy chick mutates demands that the camera is turned off... Why is the camera ordered to be turned off if they are not trying to hide something?? Hmmmmm!! More things to think about!!
  • H.P.
    Sorry Lulu, been a bit busy. Here is that screenshot. I even outlined it. Think of the lines as guides for what your eye stays focused on. http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff273/HPCLOVERFIELD/?action=view&current=Picture3.png
  • geezer
    i know what you mean miss lulu, it kinda sounds like a puking sound of some sort. and h.p and dudeman add me to the club because i totally see the fuckin' hand now, i can't believe i didnt notice the hand at first, its so obvious now that dudeman sent that pic
  • pitchaxis
    Hello all, I have just recently found the web page and have read through all 1829 posts in the last 2 days. I know there is a lot to talk about with the new trailor but going back to the slusho web page. i know several of you were mulling over the Blue oven mitt, the swiss cheese, and the hammer. On the history page the robat with the ovan mitt looks like he is facing away from the view and attempting to catch the crab.? The monky looks suprised. The Chocolate rage robat is shooting chocolate goo maybe up at the monky. The blue robot with the hammer has yellow blinking eyes, the only other charachter with a yellow blink is the orange robot. On the history page the crab has 4 emotions happy, sad, scared and angry. Also when i click on the crab to change his mood the donky stops swimming by. Clues..... may not help but i thought i would chime in with something possibly helpful.
  • geezer
    this is what i see, is this what u see too h.p? http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k142/BIGGEORGEFROMHS/trailer2-2.jpg
  • H.P.
    No those are knuckles towards the top not wings. Use my outline. I can do a more detailed one. I just didnt want the pic to get lost in the outline.
  • geezer
    check this out too while your at it, its a high quality slow mo of the shadow woman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buCRYEnbLTQ
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    H.P. (or anyone really), I've detailed out some photos, pointing out features. I don't really have the capability to post it from work so can I email it to one of you to upload to photobucket or something and link to it here so you can see what I'm describing? Anyone?
  • H.P.
    I'm not allowed to upload things at work. Sorry. I do have something very important to add though. Take a close look at the trailer from 56 to 57 seconds in. Notice the girl rob is with (I think she is the girl in the split up photo) she is gesturing towards something between two buildings. They look to be in a disagreement. Zoom in and holy crap it looks like somthing huge and humanoid coming around the building. I looked closely and there is some sort of movement so I doubt it is a building unless it is crumbling. The face looks very defined and very humanlike much like the devil face on the 1-18-08 pic. What if people are the monsters. Slusho is people. Maybe they blow up into these big monsters or small ones compared to the main monster. But wait maybe there is no main monster but rather a main person, and for some reason this person blew up bigger than the others.
  • geezer
    still need that upload cowpatty? hornlakepimp@hotmail.com send em on
  • H.P.
    I have some bad news. According to my girlfriend's chart at the theater (it's called a scoreboard and it's very accurate) Cloverfield has a release date of Feb 8th. I guess that's been the date since sept. Sorry guys.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Are you sure H.P.? Why would they put 1-18-08 on the screen if that's not the date it is released? Because that's the date it happens? You'd think JJ would say something about that. Geezer, I emailed you the file. Thanks.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Your GF's scoreboard must be wrong. 02/08/08 is the release date for Sweden. Unless this recently got pushed back the board must be wrong.
  • H.P.
    Man I wish I wasn't sure. The scoreboard never lies, unless of course JJ is fucking with us. I have had the scoreboard lie only once before and that's only because they pushed FF2 back. I guess Cloverfield first showed up on it Sept 28th. They print one every two weeks. It's been the same date since. I can't believe I didnt think to look at it earlier.
  • geezer
    here you go cowpatty, i uploaded it on photobucket so it is just a liiiittle bit smaller http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k142/BIGGEORGEFROMHS/cowpatty.jpg
  • geezer
    i guess they pushed the release back so it would match the movie since the movie is just a giant flashback via cam corder.
  • Stevenash
    Yeah I noticed on the new trailer that the 1-18-08 date was not on there anymore, I thought that was odd too...
  • Stevenash
    Correction I was wrong! disreguard that last comment from me :)
  • pitchaxis
  • pitchaxis
    By the way looking back at the movie poster again. Someone earlier noted the falling debris from the SOL and the wake still visable means it was moving fast. What if it was in flight when it hit the SOL and took the head of. The wake is similer to ones produced by low flight aircraft over water. Just a thought
  • pitchaxis
    Any one notice the caption at the begining of the 2nd trailer. It says area called U.S 447. Does that mean that the US is not the only country the monster has been? If it is only in the US why give it the U.S designation before the number?
  • H.P.
    Pitch, I love that you read all our posts. You make a very good point. I'm gonna investigate that area. Ok so I'm starting to see the monster now. It's still very hard to tell. That little piece of video fucks with you if you keep watching it. Has anyone investigated 56 to 57 seconds into the trailor. I swear it looks like something. Also I was thinking, if people are blowing up shouldn't there be blood and guts all over the streets or even in the containment tents. This gives me reason to believe they are growing into gigantic blob like creatures that still retain a humanoid look. I would guess the face would remain somewhat human.
  • geezer
    the whole girl blowing up scene reminds me of the movie slither, where the woman grows to an amazings size because all of these little creatures get inside of her and infect her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JZNTDBB1Gw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGgYmHuYHCo&feature=related so maybe there are little creatures inside the girl blowing up in the cloverfield trailer?
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    H.P. Something is coming out from between the buildings. I don't know how you are able to zoom in or which website you got the trailer from. I can't tell if it's humanoid or not but Rob doesn't appear to be scared of it. He's looking right at it. It looks a little like dark smoke and maybe a piece of debris or something.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Here's a picture of the explosion you were talking about before H.P. http://bp0.blogger.com/_YPCf8JFgUdI/R0J0lY4bHMI/AAAAAAAABMg/PULigOEWn5E/s1600-h/trailer2-1080p+1150.jpg

The exploding girl being first. The third being the zilla/hand.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Ohhhh, up there! I thought you meant to their right. Rob is looking to the right and something comes out from between the two buildings. Now that I know where you're looking I will check it out.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Correction. There is nothing coming out of the alley to Rob's right. I think it is part of the person who's holding the camera's jacket or something like that. Sorry, H.P. I don't see anything in the area you mentioned. I watched it over and over and can't see anything.
  • Corey
    I reviewed what you think is the most important frame in the trailer H.P. and I gottal tell ya it's absolutely nothing! Just your mind playing tricks on you buddy :-P I also have a new picture of the monster's face BLOWN UP from what was previously posted. IT LOOKS LIKE AN F'in DRAGON HEAD!? So it has a T-Rex body, arms big enough to rip off the head of the empire state building, and it's a firebreathing dragon? This is original alright but I don't know if I like it. http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/dragonhead.JPG
  • Corey
    CORRECTION!! ***head of the statue of liberty!*** I got ahead of myself :-\
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    This time I figured out how to zoom in and I watched it over and over again H.P. and I still don't see anything. Nada, zilch, zero. I did find one interesting thing. I will likely be the last to jump on the mutating girl bandwagon but in the last frame of that scene the guy on the left is holding her arm and it appears that a sharp pointy thing either comes out of her hand or her hand changes into a sharp pointy thing or a sharp pointy thing comes from somewhere but it's almost like the guy holding her jumps back a little bit. I wonder what that could be?
  • H.P.
    I don't know what more to say. I'm just telling you guys what I see. Until I can be convinced otherwise I will stick to my gut feeling. I respect all opinions however and I will not rule out any of your theories. I think everyone on here has been doing an awesome job!!! I'm glad there hasn't been any newbs cutting in.

    Hey you guys. Just found something that has not been mentioned yet here on this forum. Well, it has been mentioned, but not from my point of view. Ya know that "Hand"/"Knee" picture you all were talking about? Well, no matter how many times I tried to see it -- and trust me, I did (Thanks to HP and geezer for the photos), -- I just couldn't.

  • dudeman1
    Just throwin some ideas out as usual. I havnt had internet so Ive been building my idea database. As much as I disbelieve the Mutating girl theory, We have to remember Slusho! makes you a whale... Just sticking with the basics there lol. So maybe something is happening to her. Also, there is a new article on the dangers of Slusho! Check out cloverfieldclues for the entire article. I dont see a wierd monster at the Jet flyby scene. Im keeping it simple, the jets are dropping a bomb... think about it. I mean I could be wrong, but I really dont see a monster. I see an explosion and smoke and thats it. Maybe people are infected and the military is bombing infested areas? I really need to watch the trailer a little bit more, I have been working to much. Just an update on me, I guess I deploy to Iraq Jan 11 now so F***!!!!!!

  • J. J. Abrams
    Phenox, Im with you. Like I said, it resembles the profile of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Its just odd for a head to be that low. Maybe it a big fucking snake.
  • dudeman1
    Weather it is a hand or a head, I think the monster is at a low profile. If it was a hand then it must be reaching, if that was a face then obviously its crawling. So I agree I guess. Im not saying I think its a face, but im not ruling out it being a face, or hand or the body of the monster, but I definately am leaning more towards the hand
  • geezer
    it wont let me send it dudeman, sorry man. ill try and find another site that will let me host it or somthing
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Well I don't think it's a giant hand (think - the hand from The Addams Family on steroids). If it was the monster's hand that you see then why would they be firing in that direction? Wouldn't they be firing more to the right to hopefully shoot his body. I clearly see the monster the way I described it. It's height matches the clues we have so far. I originally didn't believe the mutating girl theory but yesterday I watched the trailer for the first time with sound (awesome by they way) and there is a strange sound associated to it. It could be just the way it was edited but now that I heard it, I am sliding to the mutating side a bit. I don't understand it though and there better be a good explanation for it.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Here is an excerpt of the article on cloverfiledclues: Concerned about the wealth of information lost by Tagruato‘s negligent [attitude,] my department managed to obtain a small sample of Seabed’s Nectar. Our [conclu-] sions are spotty at best, based on diluted specimens and poor investigative [condi-] tions. Our findings are too consistent, however, to be discounted completely. [The] short term exposure to the substance, some initial tests revealed accelerated [cell] growth, increased strength, increased soft muscle tissue growth, sharper [eyesight], better digestion. smoother skin, and a full-body, pleasant sensation that one [of our] researchers actually described as "a wave of pure happiness". The rest of this [report] will attempt to summarize our findings based on preliminary tests with [Seabed’s] Nectar and, hopefully, lay die foundation for more extensive research. We [aligned] Our testing regimen with a current case study: the notorious documentary footage depicting an 84-year-old woman drinking twelve large Slusho! Beverages and [lifted] The bracketed words are the ones you can't see in the report because the page is photocopied from some kind of book so the last words in the sentences are close to the spine of the book and therefor did not photocopy. The interesting things in this article I think are the effects of slusho, the use of the words "full body" as an adjective (it reminds me of the mutating girl from the trailer) and this 84 yearl old woman. I wonder if a video clip will appear on YouTube now.
  • dudeman1
    Im still sticking witht he hand theory. I Dont think the army is shooting at the hand, I think the monster scene is out of order. i dont see any body. Once i get my own HD version of the trailer so I can go through it slowly and what not i will def. have a better idea though
  • dudeman1
    So, I just found a really slo mo vid. of the Monster scene and I am retracting my hand statement. You CAN see legs. watch this This is the clip from the trailer where the monster passes behind the buildings. I stand completely corrected as I believed it was a hand. I can now see the legs of the monster! HP you should check this out. Def. Not a hand, and its def. Not a face either!

    That's funny dudeman1. That link has already been posted at least twice. Oh well. At least you see it now. Pretty cool huh!
  • Gordon
    Wow, that video gives some kickass clues. alright, so this is what i've sussed from the scene. that part of the movie isnt the monster walking across the buildings it's actually jumping across at high speeds, in the slowed down video you see it's legs stretched out sideways and it's body is like a prehistoric creature. the creature doesnt look like it has arms but it must have. you know what, i think people are right, this looks to me like a godzilla remake.

  • Garrett
    GUYS! This HAS to be it! http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1390694335&size=l If you look at this picture and compare it with the few seconds we see of the monster in the video, you can tell that they are the same thing. The sketch is a concept sketch done for the movie. No idea how it got leaked. But yeah, you can see the little (I use the word humorously) flap things on the side of his body in the video moving to the right. The sketch also includes a picture of the parasites that are found all over the monster, which gives credence to the "parasite" theory that was tossed around as well. Case (nearly) closed.
  • dudeman1
    Garrett, You have not had 1 single good post yet. Please stop now or try something smart YOU ARE SO FAR BEHIND Im not sayng i have thought something was different before... but this pic. is some old PROVEN WRONG shit. So please, try to get up to date. I guess im going to claim myself as the weekend warrior here. Because for the last two weeks I have had to tell stupid people like you to shut the fuck up. So being the bad guy, that "user drawing" was not in fact leaked, nor is in fact real to the movie. It has been discovered and released as a fan depiction of the cloverfield monster, thats it. So, before your next post, please....PLEASE research it first. At least try to add the words Slusho! or Tagruato into it to at least get our attention. If not, then please, DONT POST! On the otherhand, I potentially just used some ParafFUN! on my door.... and now it shuts just right! Deuces PS. Still looking for a good HD Cloverfield trailer #2

    yea garrett, sorry to say but you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind us, but thats ok, cus' it wont take long to catch up, all you have to do is do more research, read more posts,watch some youtube videos, or ask us questions, im sure some of the guys wouldn't mind answering any questions.. just what ever you do, don't come in here posting info from 4 months ago
  • H.P.
    Hey cloverfield vets!!!!! Sorry I been wrapped up in Thanksgiving. I hope everyone had a great holiday. Now back to the release date. It makes perfect sense that the movie would come out 2-08-08. I mean the military finds the footage after 1-18-08. The pixeled soldier is a very important clue in proving this. It shows that the tape has been tampered with. I'm assuming they didn't find the tape on 1-18-08 and didn't have time to tamper with it that quickly. So the whole realtime viral marketing thing works when you think about it. P.S. Hit the books Garrett!!!!! -The Four Horsemen-
  • LuLu
    I think what we need is another Jamie and Teddy video! We need to know about the cause!!! I think there is a link between "the cause" and Tagruato. I'm bettin all my chips that this Teddy fellow is involved in the hacked website. It would make sense given the timing right? My guess is Teddy is part of an environmental organization. (Remember Jamie's video to Teddy, "You left me here to go out and save the world and do your thing") So Tagruato= bad guy, Teddy= good guy trying to stop Tagruato and my guess is Rob= stuck in the middle of all of this, and put in the worst situation possible.. Can't wait until Jamie opens that gift, my guess is it will be a BIG clue.. Probably involving something to do with "the cause" and Tagruato
  • H.P.
    Let's not forget about slusho!!! My guess is maybe this Teddy character works for slusho and he knows some conspiracy theory shit. I think the gift is slusho powder mix. Is Teddy in Japan? Is Rob going back with a visiting Teddy?
  • LuLu
    wow what a terrific week for clues!! Was investigating the picture of the tagruato hack and if you look closely enough (super super zoom it) there is writing on the little sea creatures.. Fish - Ogre Octopus - Dumbo Jellyfish - Irukandji Crab - Tanner I did some investigating and these are actual names of the sea creatures.. ( EX. Ogrefish, Dumbo Octopus) Now obviously if someone went through the trouble of writing on these creatures then it must mean SOMETHING right? Any Marine Biologists in the house? Is these creatures found in a similar habitat? There has to be something important going on with these creatures other wise we would not be given the specific names of these creatures.. Come on guys lets figure this out! I'll be doing some more investigating later (after the MU vs. KU game of course ) M-I-Z-Z-O-U! ;)
  • H.P.
    All these creatures are found in extreme cold climates. I remember the Octopus on slusho saying bloop! Now wiki Bloop! Now compare that sound with the monster's sound. When you search bloop pay close attention to the longitude latitude of where they found the sound.
  • Ashley B.
    Looks to me as if you can see some kind of beastly figure moving around closely near the top right of the explosion at around 1:04-1:05
  • budda94
    ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSS GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its probaly a sequal to GODZILLA the 1 filmed in ny in 1998.
  • H.P.
    Ok newbies listen up!!! I own the official movie poster. It says in big big letters at the bottom CLOVERFIELD. Now why the fuck would Godzilla be in a movie with that title. Are all you Godzilla fans just ignorant or plain stupid.
  • geezer
    i was lookin up how to make a private chat earlier, but i didnt find much. i figure if the regulars of the board have our own private chat or forum we wouldnt have to worry about beginners interupting with their old news or godzilla theories
  • H.P.
  • Steven G
    Maybe its a combination of all those animals on the taguro thing
  • geezer
    photo is kinda dark h.p
  • LuLu
    H.P. - I checked out that whole bloop thing... Pretty interesting! Do you think that is real or part of Cloverfield? It certainly has some interesting connections with the movie.. Especially where it claims that whatever creature made that sound is unknown and larger than a blue whale... hmmmmmmmm..
  • dudeman1
    H.P. That bloop thing was a sweet find. Thats really all I have to say Ok, cya all soon then deuces
  • H.P.
    Yeah I brought up the bloop stuff way back, but people didn't pay much attention to it. I think there may have been a new photo on 1-18-08 or something keeping people's attention at the time. Another interesting thing about bloop is the longitude and latitude compared to that of the fictionalized Cthulhu. It's almost the same location. Now I'm not saying the monster is straight up Cthulhu, but rather the real life monster in which H.P. Lovecraft was haunted by. H.P. Lovecraft's father had terrible nightmares of the monster as did he. You see H.P. had a very realistic writing style. All his stories seem like logs from a journal. Now if cloverfield is supposed to have a realistic approach then they would not have a monster called Cthulhu stomping around and we know it wouldn't be in any way related to H.P.'s telling of the story if it is supposed to relate to real life (our timeline). My current envision of the monster would be greenish grey, gigantic, octopus/whale/human/jelly parasite looking creature. P.S. sorry about the pic geezer. I swear it's super bright on my display. I'll bump the gamma up and re upload at some point. -The Four Horsemen-
  • geezer
    nevermind hp, i just brightend it up on one of my programs and wow, how amazing is that... how did you find that?
  • LuLu
    I brightened up the claw mark pic and uploaded it for our viewing pleasure... Look at that shadow behind the clawed building.... Hmmm any ideas? Looks interesting... I didnt take much time adjusting this pic, maybe someone else can do a better job and figure it out? linky ~ http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e201/sugarhighchick86/?action=view&current=Picture2.png
  • H.P.
    I just realized as I logged onto my photobucket account on my work PC that those pictures are very dark. No wonder people on here think I'm seeing shit. I kid you not though, my macbook is one powerful machine. At this point I think it's safe to assume that I'm seeing some very important shit when I view the trailer in HD on my mac. Everything is so crisp and clear. I am able to study objects in the background with ease. That clawed building is to the left of the so called dragon head. I think it looks more sperm whale meets dragon. At one point it's eyes light up red. If you pay close attention to the trailer there are an awful lot of red lights showing up in the background. It's like they pop out from nowhere. Anyway if anyone wants to play around with any of the photos here is the link to my album. I also figured since we are one big happy family on here it wouldn't hurt to put a few pics of me in my album and some of my ink on handmade hemp paper art pieces. The pics of my art were taken with a cell phone and then played with in iphoto, so don't be too critical. http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff273/HPCLOVERFIELD/ -The Four Horsemen-
  • dudeman1
    I really need to get my hands on a copy of the trailer... godamnit I also have a very nice and crisp bright display that rocks the HD. Anyway, Im off to the East Coast to the Capitol for a week, so I may not be around. Hopefully some good stuff happens. So, cya when I do!

    H.P. The funny thing about message boards is you get an image in your head of what someone looks like then you see a picture and Kaboom!, it's blown completely out of the water. Hey, what was the surprise your girl had for you? Did you ever say? I don't remember reading about it. I agree with Lulu on the theory that Teddy is involved in the hack of targruto. It will be interesting to learn more about this cause. I still don't know what to think about this 1-18-08 vs. 2-08-08. Not that it matters much, it's only 3 weeks but I hope your wrong H.P. Geezer, I mentioned the private chat room earlier but if we did that we might miss out on the work/ideas/suggestions etc, from people like Lulu and a few others that have showed up recently and do a good job of contributing. I say keep it public.
  • H.P.
    Yeah I figured it was "high time" to post a pic of me. As for that surprise from my gf, well it was the teaser poster. It's cool because it's valid proof the movie is called Cloverfield. It's got Cloverfield in big letters at the bottom. The thing I find funny is the date at the bottom. It does say 1-18-08, but that's it!! No coming soon before it, just a date. Usually a poster will say "coming soon" or "in theaters". So maybe the full title is Cloverfield 1-18-08. I agree about keeping it public. There have been some pretty good posts lately. Everyone keep up "the cause".
  • Tom
    Ok its been a while since I posted last, mainly due to the ones who dont keep up, I admit, when I first saw it, Godzilla popped to mind, but all the clues, and Abrams himself saying he was creating a totally original beast has me still scratching my head. I think all those who have followed along will admit Slusho, targruto et al, will say we can piece some of it together altough roughly. As for the jumpers on still Screaming, Godzilla, Gamera, Chutulu (sic), come into the light Carol Ann, all that has been hashed out and squashed, I think the problem is those who only jumped on after the newest trailer, are all just now catching up.
  • geezer
    hey h.p., do you mind if i use your scoreboard pic in my next video?

    I read that Paramount released a plot synopsis: Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives. I don't know if it's true or not. I see no reason not to believe it. Except that "size of a skyscraper" doesn't sound very good for a plot synopsis. Also, it's interesting that it says the monster "descends" upon the city.
  • Tom
    Decends on the City is a pretty typical description for something invading an area, I wouldnt read anything into it other then it attacking NY.
  • H.P.
    I know Denisse posted the new slusho quotes way back, but putting them in context with the new trailer I found this quote very interesting....... "I am so happy and full of slusho that I might burst!" I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about. P.S. The toothbrush door quote still gets me, but I think it's just there to throw us off.

  • LuLu
    That is a really interesting theory Denisse --- Dunno what to think about it now other than the fact that I like it. Also, literally while I was in class and checking tagurato it was updated.. Looks like a new headline.. Tagruato’s troupe of Slusho! Smilers! struck again last Friday, this time at a remote animal control center in Takayama. Bearing armfuls of Slusho! happy drinks for all the lower wage workers, the girls also organized a Slusho! drinking contest for two dozen of the center’s caged puppies and kittens. “Kittens love Slusho! It reminds them of mother’s milk!” grinned Smiler! Mayu. The workers whooped and cheered as the animals swam and drank their way through a 40-liter trough of Blueberry Zoom. After twenty minutes, Pickle, a spotted Labrador pup, was still happily lapping Slusho! “This one will come home to Ganu!” said acrobatic Smiler! Yuuka as she clutched the lucky puppy, “He just couldn’t get enough Zoom!” With the center in Takayama, the girls completed their nationwide tour of Japan’s animal shelters. While all the shelters received a generous donation from the Tagruato Cares! foundation, the centers with the most Slusho!-friendly animals were purchased and welcomed into the Tagruato family. These centers will undergo a full renovation in the next three years, making way for modern facilities with up-to-date research, technology, and rehabilitation equipment. “Tagruato is working so hard to ensure a prosperous future for humans,” said company spokeswoman Suzume Soga. “We want that future for small animals as well.” Hmmmm is it just me or is Tagruato tying to score some serious brownie points with "the public" ?
  • LuLu
    I just re read the article and something jumped out at me.. They took the animals that drank the most slusho BACK WITH THEM!! Hmmmmm... Ut oh poor pups.... They have become like test subjects! I guess someone is worried about the effect it might have on animals... hmmmmm
  • H.P.
    Nice work Lulu!!! Very interesting indeed. Did anyone catch heroes last night. Elle was drinking a Slusho. I wonder why slusho has been showing up in heroes.

    by the way, if this link is ever mentioned somewhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdj_4kT7rhg in relation to Slusho (that research article that's been mentioned) it was me that posted the comment about drinking 12 Slushos. I was just kidding around. I mention it because I didn't want anyone thinking it was related.

  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Yes, I agree about the new pic. I've been checking the jamieandteddy site. If Teddy truly is connected to the hacking of the targruto site then I thought he might contact Jamie and that might result in a new video from her. Nothing yet as of yesterday.

    Isn't that friggin awesome??? I was on Unifiction last night when they were all figuring this out.. Genius marketing if you ask me!! I bet anything that slusho merchandise sales are skyrocketing!! I almost want to go buy a slusho shirt now to see if I get anything. lol.. Has anyone here ordered a slusho shirt recently? H.P. awww that sucks that you cant get to the link. Very exciting stuff. Basically, recent slusho merchandise packages that people are recieving are now including ripped up memos that say this on the front: Effective Immediately! Over the next few days, because of the incident that took place, starting now all letters to the outside will first pass through our communication center, or they will not go out. Level 1 Personnel? They will remain where they are, making certain to read the message from start to finish. (How will they know it is authentic, this message that is dispatched everywhere? When it is inscribed by the ?.) In addition, working hard/employment rusted overtime? As for the employees, they will be made to wait in their appointed lodging facility until told otherwise. If one witnesses an act of misconduct, and neglects to report it to the Council, Chuai's department bureau will enforce principles and regard it as a violation. There will be no exceptions. Even more fun - A handwritten message on the back!!!! American, The Chuai station hides a dark secret. Good people are going missing. Expect further communication in the near future. - the Whistle Blower Good stuff huh? Looks like trouble is brewing at the Chuai station!!!
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    The memo is in Japanese and the handwritten message on the back is scrawled out in English. I have seen 2 different copies of the handwriting and they are both different, same person perhaps but different structure of the sentence so apparently whoever is doing it is writing the same message on different pieces of paper, or different copies of the same memo, and including them in items shipped to customers. Brilliant marketing in my opinion. With the popularity of the movie and mystery behind it, what a better way to get people to buy products than to give them the hope of finding a new clue or message in the packing material. Brilliant!! I may have to use that for http://www.cluechaser.com

  • Edward
    So, I haven't read through ALL of the comments but, has anyone thought of the fact that, just maybe, the monster from the trailer is ONE of SEVERAL monsters throughout the movie. The movie could be based off several creatures of H.P. Lovecraft mythos. In Lovecraft lore there are several mentions of alien beings of GOOD and EVIL that sleep and wait when the "stars are not right". He mentions monsters/creatures of the water(Cthulhu?), air, and earth. Maybe this is some epic battle of awakened creatures that, as Lovecraft explains, "came from the skies before the ages of man". In my opinion, that would be one badass movie, and one that has never been done before. Just a thought. Considering we've seen and know so little about the movie maybe the monster from the trailer is just the beginning of an entire army of H.P. Lovecraft monsters.
  • Tom

He was a great person, and he will be missed. It was his wishes to let everyone know on this site that he is no longer with us. As many of you may well know, he was going to be leaving for Iraq in a month. He had his will written for when he was to leave, and he said to post, if he had past, to let everyone know on this site. So that is what im doing. Im sorry for everyone. He wil be missed

  • Edward
    From what I've heard, Abrams has only stated that is a completely new monster to CINEMA. That doesn't mean it's a completely original monster, it could be something based off something we've never seen in movies before. I know its a stretch but it could be true.
  • Corey (tribute to dudeman1)
    He posted this a while ago but I believe it's the most relavent and reasonable plot explanation there is on this site... RIP dudeman About one billion (yes billion) years ago, life on Earth was still at the multi-cell level and they remained mostly in their habitat. One of the organisms was more passive and preferred a symbiotic relationship for their survival. Another (and there were more) was more aggressive and preferred to control larger beings for their survival. Back then, the world had only one continent. The two organisms were separated, for the most part, by land. But the aggressive organism had developed a taste for the passive one and tried to feed on it as often as possible by going around the land mass. Until a cataclysmic event changed things, burying most of the ancient organisms under the oceans. The surviving organisms either died off or evolved (later becoming humans and what not). Fast forward to present day and we have Japan discovering the passive organisms buried off their coast and eventually came to the conclusion that the American continents (North and South) had drifted over the aggressive organisms (more on them later) during the past billion years. Japanese scientists begin studying this passive organism and find that it is a perfect nourishment supplement to humans. Grown in an agricultural field on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, these organisms create the appearance of cloverfields. The scientists learn that these organisms are beneficial symbiotic parasites that give us additional nourishment and make us feel happy. Thus humans and the parasites become one. They are kept cold to prevent them from dying from exposure until they are introduced into their host. Thus the development of the awesome and delicious drink – Slusho! (It makes me happy). Rob is a college graduate who has been hired by Slusho and has just accepted an offer to work in their technologies division in Japan. Rob also knows the basics of the organism, the story that Slusho “invented” as a marketing campaign and has recently been informed that the scientists have found trace amounts of the aggressive organism. Whabam (Not Mine, i know a scource) This aggressive organism likes to pool up into a larger being, control it, own it, even change it. It also eats the smaller passive organism much the same way a whale will eat plankton. Slusho is now one of the most popular drinks. In it’s own right it is a tasty meal that does not add fat and is proven to be healthy with claims that it cures cancer and many other diseases. Slusho and it’s by-products are now being flushed (literally) into the sewer systems and drained out to sea by way of urine, fecal matter and just straight unconsumed Slusho. This builds up on the ocean floor and eventually awakens a very hungry and aggressive organism. This aggressive organism, hungry and well, aggressive, follows the sewer trail back to New York and emerges through the sewers breaking and igniting a natural gas pipeline in it’s effort to feed on the passive organism, which is now us.

    Hello all. Long time reader, first time poster. I hoep someone can help clarify something. Bear with me. From what I have read, I have to agree with Edward, in post 1944. I have read all the posts to date here, and everyone is quick to bring up this "original" idea, claiming that this means the monster is a"brand new concept" , claiming that it is what Abrams said. What he was really quoted as saying, as far as I can find, is that this is an "American original". All that means is that whatever the source material is, that source material was created by an American or Americans. This re-opens the door for many theories that may have been shot down in the previous posts, such as Lovecraft's Cthulhu. H.P. Lovecraft was an American, and therefore his Cthulhu mythos is an "American creation". Abrams is also cited by many to have said it will not be a remake. Any previously filmed projects based on Lovecraft's work have not included Cthulhu, and therefore this would not be a remake, either, if it were to be Cthulhu. (As well, a previous post references a movie already in production about the Cthulhu mythos by another studio, but that movie focuses strictly on human cultists and their insanity, not any monsters.) There are other theories as well, that could still have legs, I am not saying I think for sure it is Cthulhu. Now, don't anyone go and get there nickers bunched up, I am not trying to start waves. I just want to know if there are more specific quotes out there from Abrams, not just people regurgitating other people's paraphrasing of what Abrams said. Does anyone have exact quotes from Abrams saying specifically that this monster is a brand new concept, as opposed to quotes of him saying it is an "American Original"? As for Dudeman1, RIP. That really sucks.

    Geezer, I don't see your video there anymore. H.P. how do you pronounce Cthulhu anyway? I must admit I know nothing about H.P. Lovecraft and had never heard of Cthulhu before all this started back in July. I find it very upsetting that whoever posted about dudeman1 dying seems to have posted and fled because that is all the details we have. Does anyone have any information on him? Or his death? Was it on the news at all. Apparently his name was Hunter. Any idea if that was first or last. Larry, I see your still here, did you two converse outside this site. I find the news shocking, sad and odd. I guess he cared alot about this board and the people in it to put it in his will to post here that he died. Very strange I think. I hope this isn't some kind of prank because it's not funny. If it is true, I don't know where you stand spiritually dudeman1 but hopefully we'll meet again. In a better place.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I sent an email to dudeman1's email address. Maybe someone will read it and respond with more info. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Seems like tidowave.com is legit.
  • H.P.
    First off I wan't to extend my deepest regret upon hearing of dudeman's death. I remained silent this weekend in his memory. I needed to stop the blogging and come down to reality a bit. Cah-thuu-luu is the proper way to say it, but according to Lovecraft lore the name can be said a number of ways. The name was created to emulate an unspeakable alien language. So any pronunciation we come up with is likely wrong. Oh and geezer I'm 100% certain that it's the american scoreboard, I mean why would it be otherwise. The scoreboard does not show any foreign films. The scoreboard needs to be exact, It is a tool for theater owners.

    Good to know. I was pronouncing it cha instead of cah. Don't know why. I find it odd that no-one else has said anything about the release date being 2/8/08. I even posted it on a few other boards and mentioned that it was posted here but so far no one has picked up on it (that I can tell at least. I don't remember where I mentioned it).
  • budda94
    hey could some1 tell me wat is the #1 suspected monster in this movie and if there is more could u list them thanks budda out
  • fas
    this movie is gonna suck
  • H.P.
    I find it strange that nobody has picked up on it. I guess I need to scan in the entire page for further proof that it is a legal theater document. I mean why would I make that up. I wanna see this movie now!!!!! I was really pissed when I got news it was being released late. Just a reminder and heads up, Sweeney Todd will have the third and final trailer attached to it!!!!!! More info to come!!!!! Budda that's a pretty large order to fill.
  • geezer (R.I.P Dudeman)
    sorry bout the video not showin up cowpatty, i had to delete it to make a couple changes and just havent got around to uploadin the final version, and h.p do you think you can scan the whole document? cuz im sure if i show the pic you gave us there will be alot of ney-sayers (not sure how you spell that) and take a look at this, this may be a reference to cloverfield http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtW-72Y6rzQ#VbgHfX8kcV4
  • Steve-O
    Is the movie out yet? It feels like ive been reading this stuff forever
  • DeniSSE

  • Steve-O
    what if abarms made bots on this site and they r leaving clues........thatd be freaky
  • Steve-O
    HOLY FUCKIGN SHIT!!!!!!! NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually this isnt important or doesnt not help us find anythnig out about the movie.......but (my friend shoed me this btw) if you keep the http://www.1-18-08.com site open for about 5-10 minutes......THE SCREEN ROARS! it scared the fuckign shit out of me....im shakig nas i write this.....plzzzz respond back to this
  • H.P.
    Wow!!!!!, really Steve-O? Are you kidding me!!!! What a newbie!!!!! It's ok Stevie you might have time to read all of our posts before the movie comes out....LOL!!!!!!! Denisse, I don't buy it. I know your smarter than that. Geezer I will scan that in soon.
  • Steve-O
    fuck....it felt so cool to find that out, w/e dude....i dont knwo about you, but im not really in the mood to read 2000 comments lol (which comment was it posted around?)
  • H.P.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At8zfaBwawU dude I been in here since 400's. It's not like I have every post filed away in my head. I do know that you are very behind. Do you even know what http://www.Slusho.jp is. It's a shame because in my opinion you missed out on a vital part of movie history. Soon most movies will be advertised this way.
  • Steve-O
    yea, i remember the whole slusho scenario, whith the 'just not 6' and horse and other animals crap. I rememebr when i first started reading this stuff, you left a lot of posts--------4 horseman etc, all of that stuff......Obviously, I took a break and came back a few months later to see any HUGE changes, which i have found.
  • Speedy
    I don't post very often but i have read every post and enjoyed every min. Dudman1 was amazing and my best wishes and prayers go out to his family and friends.
  • Steve-O
    yea man, lets just all come together and be a family and help bust this story
  • H.P.
    You are missing the point of all this entirely. Since it's been speculated in more than one place that the movie will have no real backstory. I believe what we are searching for is what a two or three hour movie cannot cover. We are all part of the movie. The one thing I admired most about dudeman1 was his passion. Even though we had our disagreements I respected dudeman1 for passion to continue coming on this board even though he knew he would not get to see the movie. He was due to ship out the 11th of Jan.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Steve-O. Welcome back. To the best of my research ability I believe the roar was first commented on in post #881. I thought dudeman1 got news after his initial announcement of his departure that he would be leaving sometime after 1/18/08 but before 02/08/08. I googled Dudeman1. I think there are two of them but one seems to be an asian girl and the other (who I think is our dudeman1) was in the marine corps. He has a lot of profiles on different sites going back to 2003-2004. One of the sites is a place where you talk about what hookers can be found in different cities. If it really was our dudeman1 (and I think that it was), it was a scene that he was very much into at one point. I'm not judging him or anything like that. Just trying to learn more about a person that I didn't really know anything about. An interesting read none the less. Yes, he had passion as H.P. mentioned.

  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    H.P., this link is a post showing billboards for the movie. They all say 01-18-08 as the date. I totally believe you about the scoreboard but either it or JJ is wrong. It is hard to ignore all the advertising and marketing using the 01-18-08 date. Why do that if it's not coming out until 02/08/08? It seems the board has to be wrong. http://www.cloverfieldnews.com/2007/12/03/cloverfield-billboards-in-santa-monica/

    Interesting things going on over at tidowave.com: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/12/tidowave-cruel-etin-board.html
  • Steve-O
    I am beginning to get the sense that the whole wolfmother scenario may be partialyl correct.....
  • H.P.
    Trust me Cowpatty, why would we be watching a tape of something going on at the same moment. That's impossible and illogical, unless it's a live video feed. So if the cloverfield timeline holds true, we would in fact watch it on a later date. I mean I'm sure it took the military a bit of time to actually find the tape. The military caption before trailer 2 is confirmation that we are watching a video tape found at the scene. So that rules out it being a live feed.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Assuming what you say is true H.P., then my guess is that something HUGE is going to happen on 1/18/08. JJ must have some big surprise in mind. Maybe something big. That's never been done before. Something that will be talk of Hollywood, all news stations, all around the world. It will be the biggest, greatest thing ever done to hype a movie. It will redefine advertising and marketing more than it has already. Am I being a bit extreme? Perhaps he'll release a movie about the movie, or maybe something that details all the conversation, all the message boards, all the "clue chasing", all the stuff that we've been doing the past 5+ months and give some of the backstory that we've been uncovering. Speaking of clue chasing (nice segway I think) http://www.cluechaser.com starts in 2 days, 1 hour and 13 minutes
  • Sjihttisthijs
    maybe they spread out clovers from airplanes that creates a cloverfield at 1-18-08, just throwing out an idea (lol)
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Or perhaps, since he's a TV guy, there will be a special on T.V. Maybe like they did years ago, the whole War of the Worlds kind of thing. Like a fake news broadcast that shows quick shots of NY being devastated by something. Then the movie comes out on 2/08/08 as the end result of whatever happened on 1/18/08. Possible?
  • ddot3
    if the movie comes out in feb, why does jj say at comic con see you in jan?
  • H.P.
    Ok Cowpatty, I was just about to draw up an Orson Welles comparison. It seems we are both on the same brain wave. I would love for A.M. and F.M. radio to all of a sudden break into a newscast read by Abrams. I heard that Orson Welles was part of a project to see how people would react to an alien invasion. Soon after that broadcast Welles would go on to make Citizen Kane. Citizen Kane is claimed by many to be the best movie of all time. Is there a conspiracy in there somewhere.........maybe. Is there conspiracies within this project? I would bet on it.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I agree H.P. If JJ hasn't already thought of that... he should. It would be brilliant.
  • H.P.
    No kidding, that's why the government keeps ufos and aliens a secret. They know how the public will react. Like I just said that radio show was an experiment. It's not like we can compare an alien invasion to a monster attack. I think the alien invasion would be more likely to happen. JJ could def get away with a fake news broadcast of a monster attack. Honestly, if people believed that then we have alot of people who are out of touch with reality.
  • Sjihttisthijs
    or perhaps they put giant soundsboxes at the top of a high building that plays the roar from the trailers. in any case, this would crazy but brilliant indeed. (oh, and cowpattybill the radioshow you refering to, created a mass hysteria (paranoia, anxiety, fear) among the country). why wouldn't this time be the same (if you concider that almost everything is possible in modern time) peace...
  • H.P.
    I wasn't gonna mention it, but after thinking about it I gave in. Did anyone else get chills when they read off the name of that piece of shit gunmen's name, that low life scum bag who decided to do something so horrific like this before the holidays. I am so furious that possibly one of my fav sci fi heroes will share a name with this sorry excuse for a life. I hope this kid is rotting and nothing else. No afterlife, no R.I.P. NOTHING!!!!!!! Just flesh decomposing in the ground. A popsicle stick would be a suitable headstone. I can't imagine what those families must be going through. My heart bleeds for them.

    Wow I leave the boards for a little bit and come back and WOW so much happening.... I send my prayers out to dudeman, this is truly devestating... R.I.P. bro.. Anyone notice the updated myspace pages? I am trying to draw some significance from the posts.. But not really coming up with anything... Any ideas about what is going on with Beth on friday? A relationship brewing perhaps? Maybe a job offer? Definately something that is going to make an impact on Beth's life.. Yes H.P. I'm totally with you on that one. When I heard the news last night and saw the name across the screen I was like AHHHHH! What a disgrace !!! I have no sympathy for assholes like that. And for him to say in notes he left to his family that he wanted to "go out with style" makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. I have friends in Nebraska, one of which was at the mall right before the shooting and literally left minutes before it happened. I'm so glad she got the hell outta there... Ahhh just thinking about it again is making me mad...

  • Steve-O
    I think it would be a mistake to have soem sort of radio broadcast or 'roars from the top of the building.' Whiel it seems liek great advertising (which it is), you have to think about all of the possibilities that happen......extreme chaos in one of the msot populated cities.....

  • geezer (R.I.P Dudeman)
    i got the goosebumps when i heard the name of the shooter too, i actually had to go on cnn to make sure i heard the name right. which brings me to this question, do you think jj will change the name of the character since he and the gunmen share the same name? and about the radio broadcast thing. it would be awesome if he did that, that would be like the ultimate advertisement if he did, but i think if he did it he wouldnt just come strait out and say that a monster was attacking new york, i think he would say something like a major quake in nyc or a loud roar has been heard across nyc or something like that, something that matches the 1st trailer
  • H.P.
    So I get to the theater last night to do a sneak peak of Golden Compass (which by the way I did not end up watching) and my gf surprises me with an early christmas gift.............A SLUSHO T SHIRT!!!!!!!! complete with torn tagruato invoice. It's weird because the shirt was wrapped in two pages of a japanese newsprint. The only things I can read are the websites. I went to one and it was some New York/Japan pharmacy company. I found that very ironic. The newspaper is dated July 20 2007. The Tagruato invoice is printed on very nice paper. The paper has a pearl like sheen to it. I know this has been mentioned but scribbled on the back by hand is the following........... American, The Chuai Station hid a dark secret. Good people have gone missing. Expect further communication in the near future. -The Whistle Blower-

Wow I really dont even know how totake that... I have been AFK for almost 2 weeks now, and this is my first chance getting on a computer, sad thing is, the server im on allows hotmail...but doesnt allow a movie website, let alone any site affiliated with cloverfield, somewhat bizarre. I am so far out of the loop on whats going on. As with this Cerberus post thing... I dont knowwho it is, but he has my name correct so i am assuming someone got on my computer back at the barracks. I hope it is still there. But, I will be back hopefully tomorrow... I dont know what I should do about this wholesomeone saying im dead thing. Thats kinda messed up shit. Im kinda fuckin pissed of now. Ok, Itstimeto go back to work, this keyboard is sticky O.o Hopefully talk to you this weekend Dudeman1, Alive and well Deuces Seems someone has been messing with us.

    What the F***. I appologize for everyone, someone played a crued joke on everyone here including me. I was off at training and left my laptop in my room and somebody, probably my roomates friend, got on and posted, then stole my laptop. That is just my assesment of what happened. SO now, I am on my friends laptop, posting. I am sincerely sorry for whoever that asshole was, and I am determined to find him and perhaps do very mean things to him. I love you all, and Im glad to know that a group of people I do not know at all besides the movie care about me that much. I again feel really bad about what this F*** did, and I just feel like shit. On the side note, the registry for cloverfieldmovie.com is to a "In hoc signo vinces"which means in this sign you will conquer. Figured I would just add my $ and pennies and shit...and stuff.

    I'm posting before I've fully read everything. Video #5 is out. Plus message from Teddy. Check Cloverfieldclues.com Jamie opened her gift from Teddy, and it's a good one! Unless you are Jamie, who thinks it is all a joke. Inside the gift is a Slusho hat, what seems to be a sample of the Seabed's Nectar, and message from Teddy: Jamie, listen to me, alright this is not a joke. If you're hearing this before we've spoken, then it means that I've been captured by the company called Tagruato. Ok, TAG-RU-ATO. Now listen. You, this is important. Don't call the authorities. It'll screw everything up. Just sit tight and wait to hear from Randy. He knows to call you. We're on their station ok, and it's like they've found something, or they're making something, but the point is, I can't, I'm not going to be calling you again. You're not gonna hear from me again.

    The third and final trailer will play in front of sweeney todd next friday, along with promo handouts. Like I said in a previous post, something to do with facebook. A mini poster, postcards, and flyers. I think the flyers will advertise the slusho contest.
  • Ripper
    Well, I way debateing on wither to see Sweeny Todd...or Alvin and the Chipmunks. Now i know. I have to have the handouts...we have been waiting for..5 MONTHS! I demand satisfaction, in the form of trinkets and buttons. I could see the Eye more clearly in the revised Pic. H.P. i think your dead on with the Highly Concentrated Necter. I can not belive that J.J got us with the month later relese date...clever basterd. Yet this is just going to show how much JJ is transforming the way to hype a moive, even if people don't know about cloverfeild yet just wait till 1/18/08 i have a feeling it will be something better than any of us could expect. Another thing has anyone came to a conclusion aboutwhat the women getting her head severed in Trailer 2 is about. Is parisite infection do to necter consumption a possibillity. If they drink the Slusho and they come into contact with something from the creature, such as any form of DNA that it begins to Mutate them. Let me know if i am kicking a dead dog or if these has been discussed, i have read the postes but may have missed some. -The Four Horsemen-
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Here's a thought: I'm still hung up on the whole 2/8/08 thing. Is is possible that the movie will have a limited release on 1/18/08 and your theater, H.P., won't be picking it up unitl 2/8/08?
  • H.P.
    No because there is a seperate section on the scoreboard for limited releases.
  • Steve-O
    wait I'm confused........I already saw the third trailer, which premiered with beowulf........And it definately was the 3rd, because the second one was the news broadcast right?
  • H.P.
    I'm sorry steve, that trailer was debunked 2 months ago. I was fooled at first glance.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I posted about the scoreboard on another site. I want to see if anyone else has access to the same info you have H.P. If it can be verified across several scoreboards then I think we can eliminate the possibility of it being an error (I know you have already eliminated this in your mind). We'll see what happens.
  • geezer
    im gonna make a video showing a compilation of big ass movie monsters, the cloverfield monster will be in there of course, godzilla, zilla, king kong 2005 version and some jurassic park dinos, thats it so far. but is there any other monsters you guys think should be put in the vid?
  • H.P.
    I'm writing a short story inspired by my various thoughts on cloverfield. It's called "Kcthulhhuu ver R'lyeh". It's about a sky riding incarnate of Cthulhu. The being sends a signal wave out across the earth in search of a temple from the lost city of R'lyeh. The signal has a terrible effect on all the humans' brains. The human brain turns into a parasite that breaks from the skull and resembles a cthulhi. Gross looking things with bits of skull in it's slimy grayish bubbled up tentacle like skin.
  • geezer
    dude, h.p that sounds bad ass, if only you could have some artwork after your done
  • Steve-O
    how old are you guys?
  • Sprout
    you know this will truly suck if it turns out to be a Godzilla movie. But most people probably won't find that out until the last 30 minutes of the movie and then you wasted your time and can't get it back. Personally I was looking up fire breathing lions and the is one in Greek mythology called the Chimera although I don't think it is big enough to fit the specifications. Originally I knew there was a lion creature that breathed fire in some mythology but I could have sworn that it had tentacles that threw fire balls too. I know it sounds stupid but it seems silly that Chuthulu would shoot fire balls...isn't it a water dwelling something or other?
  • tom
    first time posting here, but I am a regular on cloverfieldclues. a lot of time is being spent here, guessing at something you will never find the answer to until you watch the movie. try looking for other websites that will point to more clues. Don't just talk about what ifs, it's pointless.
  • H.P.
    Steve-O is that a legitimate question or are you putting down my ideas?
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Tom, we did our share of work in the first few months. Now it seems most of us have come to the realization that we aren't gonna know until the movie comes out. So we (or at least I) leave the work of finding the websites and clues to folks on other message boards and then we talk about them here and try to stick them into our ideas of what the movie is like and see what we come up with. You're the digger, we're the visioneers. As for 2/8/08 tom, we'll see whose right. (For those here on this board, tom posted on cloverfield clues that the date on the trailer says 1/18/08, what else is there to talk about?)
  • H.P.
    All I will say in defense of the release date is that my gf is very confident that it's not a typo, because week after week the printout always says the same date. Now if they update the scoreboard on a weekly basis then why would they not fix such a clear typo. As you guys have already seen the scoreboard is very detailed and precise. Like I said before the scoreboard has only failed me once, but they at least corrected it.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I don't doubt you H.P.. I think this is a major piece of info. The only part that gives me a moment of pause is why would everything else Cloverfield related say 1/18, including advertising and the trailers themselves, and only your scoreboard (at the moment) says 2/8. I don't understand. I was hoping other people had similar connections to the theater industry and could confirm their scoreboards said the same thing. So far though, no one has stepped forward and said that. Nor have they said that theirs says 1/18 either though. Until one or the other happens we just have to wait I guess.
  • Corey
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/releaseinfo ^ That says that it comes out 2/8/08 in Sweden. That's the only thing I can think of that would explain what he's alleging. Other than that, if you think it's NOT coming out on 1/18 then you are stupid
  • J. J. Abrams
    I agree corey.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Color me stupid then. It wouldn't be the first time. I stand next to H.P. Either we look down on you all on 1/18/08 and laugh or we (or at least I) quietly and humbly disappear into the crowd hurrying into the theater to watch the movie.
  • H.P.

  • geezer
    geezus, its like an early christmas watching that video, its so surreal
  • Live4Jesus
    So, the trailer is definitly sweet and will most likely be a big hit. But everyone is wondering what is actually going on in this movie... and the most convincing theories are as follow: 1-18 is the end of the mayan calender and in 2012 Jan 18 is the day that they have marked as the end of the world, next the monster is a giant whale like creature with arms and legs-- listen to the sound of the roar, it sounds like a humpback whale--. and I can't wait to barf my guts out from watching the big screen go back and forth really fast from the handheld camera, ah warm memories of the Blair-witch, and my 18th B-day. --end of transmission--

  • Steve-O
    Yea Live4Jesus, I did not consider the fact that this movie could be another end-of-the-world type movie, jsut soem monster movie. An EOTW style movie would make the outcoem so much greater......................and go see I Am Legend, pretty good movie
  • Psaldorn
    I just sat here and read *so* *many* *comments*! My contacts are about to explode and I have that horrible paranoia you get from reading about potentially scary things at 5am (and the preceding 6 hours) I think an anthropologist/psychologist could have a field day on here, so many screen shots of alleged monsters! I really don't see how anyone could see the 2 restraining HazMat silhouettes as anything else (bear in mind I'm the one with overactive imagination/paranoia right now :P ) Very nice to see the full scene of the film with accompanying "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" and "We're under attack! We're at war!" - then standing around taking photos of the SoL's remains. Seeing the legendary arm/leg/giant-hand/eye/eagle/super-slug/aircraft-carrier shot of Cloverfield itself in context of a scene, I think, adds some more ambiguity, the army people could be shooting at a different entity. I've never wanted to see a film so much. Not necessarily because of the type of marketing, more that monster films are lacking (I quite enjoyed The Host because it was very different, daylight monster rampage in first 15 minutes? Cool! But not of a similar enough ilk to '98 Godzilla, which I mostly liked). The one kind of film I can have recurring nightmares about (enjoying nightmares like I do), you can definitely see how the viral helps though, you get to discover, and discovering makes something far more personal, mixed with mystery and intrigue AND some tantalising visuals and action and suspense (and, if I interpret the HazMat Silhouette scene correctly, and I'm 98% sure I do some ground-level nasties and the possibility of infection.. ) Can you ask for more? There's even a love interest to keep the ladies (and anyone who wants a potential positive ending to focus on) happy. JJA rocked my world with this approach in Lost, many nights lost "hacking" the Hanso websites and seems to have done it again, this time with minimal actual information. I still don't quite get the Teddy vids though. #4/5 seem useful, the rest.. ? Well, I;ve finished making my contribution, such as it is, felt a bit evil harvesting all your hard work without putting something back, even if it is just an annoying email in your inboxes and an essay about stuff-what-you-already-knowed, but that's all I got for now :) I did find that http://www.siteus477.com redirects to... the cloverfieldmovie.com page :( I thought I was onto something! Some more ideas on the notation though: 447? Can there have been that many incidents? The world we are faced with at the beginning seems fairly monster-free. Minor incidents? Random number? Relevant number? (Tie-in to Lost numbers?) US part is obvious, but the need to include it does imply multi-national incursions. The "formerly known as.." part would, to me, imply a large amount of time has passed between when it "all went down" to when the video has been found and subsequently viewed. Part of a civilisation emerging from the ruins and cataloguing what remains of the world? I am a sucker for the post-apocalyptic, mind. Regarding the "passive/aggressive lifeforms" makes a bit more sense that in eating the passive we remove the food-source from the seabed, forcing the aggressive to come after it once more, causing things to mutate to attack cities seems far-fetched (even for sci-fi) but it smacks too much of '98 Godzilla 'Nature Attacks"-style, I want some malice in Cloverfield! Destroying a city because you are unaware of it's significance makes it seem like being destroyed by some giant toddler. Alien, Mythological, Biblical. Those are more entertaining (to me, anyway) Oops, I was saying goodbye/sorry wasn't I? Bye! And Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/December - Psaldorn PS: (Yeah, sorry) Glad to see Dudeman1 again, I went from starting to know the posters through reading to suddenly feeling very bad for someone I haven't even interacted with to being very happy to hear it was all a hoax. Take care, mate.
  • dudeman1
    Justice is served. Laptop recovered, Sad bastard is in loads of trouble. Godamn fuck nut. Ok, so just saw the Widget.... so amazing. Cant wait to see how this monster will surprise the crap out of us (according to Maxim Magazine JJ interview) i think that all of the months of theorizing are about to come to an end. The story is finally starting to unfold. still, im positive there will be a few more curves thrown at us, but the unknown is now becoming known at a crazy rate. All this time of waiting and theorizing and finally, just in time for the holidays, alot of new info, so muc more then we regulars are used to. Everything is finally coming together! I just want to say great job to all of you who have been here since damn near the begining, if not the start. It has been a great 5 months or so of discusiion, and its wierd because I do not even really know any of you, but have so much respect for everyone of you. Im not saying its the end, but it is the begining of the end. I just want to thank all you regulars for helping the last boring months of the Marine Corps go by so fast! Well, I will be posting again shortly I am sure, just had to get that off my chest. Talk to you all soon!

  • geezer
    wow Psaldorn, you really posted some interesting things to think about. welcome to the board man. i think your like the first person to come in here with an actual smart first post in the last month or so. and no sil its not godzilla
  • dudeman1
    And... its not even worth telling the newb fucks whats up, its too late for that. But still I have a poem, and I dedicate it to the person in 2060: If I saw you in real life I would slap your stupid face I hope I never meet you you are really out of place You really must be fake you bot so named Sil if your human then I hate you and if your fake I hate you still :) I wanted to use the word kill but, that would make me a stereotypical Marine Stupid N00b, eat shit. Stand under the mistletoe and i hope its really a fuckin monster plant named godzilla and it eats you
  • dudeman1
    ...I think im in love with Psaldorn
  • geezer
    lol dudeman, that poem was sick brother, you should get it published haha. and if you could choose what you wanted the monster to look like how would it be?
  • dudeman1
    If I could choose. Wow that is a really great question. Now, before I say anything, I cant choose, so my ideas are not to be discriminated against. Ok, so we all have an agreement. Great. If I were to choose how the monster would look, I would base it off of nothing but religious based science. It would be a giant ball of Spaghetti that could fly, with meat balls. Basically a giant spaghetti monster. But seriously, I think a great beast would be a total destructive force. I robot, similar to the Bad Robot "robot" with a child mentality and super crazy alien robot powers. Giant laser beams melting everything. Rockets blowin shit up. TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Of course, the movie would have to end with everyone dying... except for Will Smith. So a Giant Child-acting robot with powers of mass destruction. Not really a monster in the monster sense, but ... yeah there you have it
  • geezer
    that actually sounds pretty awesome, and thats what i was kinda hoping to see in irobot, a giant MOVEABLE robot that controlled all the mini bots, but instead it was a big computer with a craaaazy a.i level and if i had to choose what the cloverfield monster would look like, it would basically be a huge t-rex lookin' thing. except its hind legs are more flexible so that it can leap great distances, and its arems are longer so it can walk on all fours and climb tall structures. also it would have some fins formed between it's arm and it's sides. since it is a deep sea monster and all. and just for the hell of it it will be able to reproduce by budding
  • H.P.
    I would want the monster to be so big that it's funny, kinda like when you first saw the stay puff marsh man but still retaining a horrifying element. It would be a tenacled/whale, humanoid looking creature that drips a green puss. The puss infects people. The puss would dry up creating cloverfields. Eventually the entire city is blanketed with puss forming a giant cloverfield. The monster walks away in the end going back to a slumber in the depths of the antarctic waters.

I just updated it with my contest entry, and I have to start from 0 grabs again... Help FS.net out and grab it again!! Send it to your friends and everyone else, too, okay?? Thanks for all the help! Keep rockin' this thread.
  • dudeman1
    Lol, I was just about to post how retarded this Cloverfield grab thing is and how normal fans cant possibly win. They could have had a more fair contest. Owel, Im going for FS.net obviously, even though I dont think this thing is completely fair. Still gotta represent (I Screening maybe a week early before I leave in my home town would be pretty sweet)

So, try again and maybe you will get some credibility I need a beer Still cant find Jamie in the trailers... I Miss her. She is purdy thats all deuces
  • Peterman
    Hey, I've been looking into this for about half an hour, and i just thought, everybody is saying basically the same things over and over again. Everyone says maybe some parasites, maybe godzilla, maybe robots. Now I'm not saying any of you guys and gals are wrong, but I think I came up with a new possibility. It might be kinda farfetched, but what if it was the DEVIL himself? It's just an idea. It popped into my head when i went onto 1-18-08.com and saw the very last picture. There is a picture of two women looking scared and in between them is an image that can be passed as the devil. It might just be the way that her hair looks, or, perhaps it's a clue...i don't know.
  • Joe S.
    now ive seen the trailer bout five times in a row and when all the ppl are running down the street the guy says at least i think he says "its a LION its huge" i think does anyone know exactly what that guy says if so plz do say

  • geezer
    the guys says "i saw it, its ALIVE!, its huge" not "i saw it, its a lion, its huge" this is a common mistake that took place waaaaaaaay back in the stone age era of the cloverfield hype. and i was actually thinking about usin one of those whore codes to get grabs, but it wouldnt actually be fair to anybody else who wouldnt have a chance to see the movie when it premiers, such as dudeman

Have you guys seen that invitation for the wrap up party that is posted at cloverfield clues? That whole ordeal is a running gag for the cast and crew! I found that hilarious... Ya hear that Joe?

    Sorry, been gone a few days. I'm a little lost as to what is going on. What is this "grabs" thing? How can I help dudeman1 see the movie before he leaves? What is Alex talking about? Where is Jamie in the trailer? H.P. An interview with Matt says that it is not anything to do with Lovecraft. Sorry man.
  • H.P.
    That's fine by me. I was actually hoping it had nothing to do with Lovecraft. Who is this CSWORKER. Cowpatty, basically you put the clip on your myspace, facebook, or blog and the person with the most "grabs" wins a private screening. I'm already going to a private screening two days before it comes out, so I could care less. I want that slusho laptop though.

    The magnitude-7.2 quake struck at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and was centered about 125 miles west of Adak in the island chain, according to a preliminary report by the U.S. Geological Survey. A dispatcher with the Anchorage Police Department said he didn't feel the quake, some 1,300 miles away, and there were no reports of any injuries or damages. The Aleutian Islands are a chain of more than 300 islands that extend southwestward from Alaska into the northern Pacific Ocean. A separate earthquake of magnitude-4.0 shook the San Bernardino Mountains resort town of Big Bear City early Wednesday about 100 miles east of Los Angeles. There were no reports of any damages or injuries from the quake, which struck shortly before 4:15 a.m., a dispatcher with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said. A tsunami warning was canceled early Wednesday for Alaska's coasts after officials determined waves from the earthquake posed no widespread destructive threat. The earth's most active seismic feature, the circum-Pacific seismic belt, brushes Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, where more earthquakes occur than in the other 49 States combined. The Andreanof Island sustained a magnitude 8.8 earthquake in March 1957 that caused very severe damage on Adak and Unimak Islands. A damaging tsunami was generated, and a wall of water 40 feet high smashed the coastline of Scotch Cap on Unimak Island. Sand Bay, near Adak, reported 26-foot waves inundated its shores THE KOSHO STATION

    Uhh...sure, okay. Whatever #6 I read in one of the interviews with Matt or Mike or whoever that the movie doesn't actually take place on 1/18/08. It's just the date of the movie's release. That would explain the warm weather. Not sure why they put it on the 1-18-08.com photos along with a time stamp. I hope this KSWORKER#6 is just a joker and not someone from the actual movie selecting this place to leave new clues. I don't have the energy to look into it. Oh, and thanks for asking, http://www.cluechaser.com is going well. The leaders are on puzzle #6 (out of 10) and has been going on for 12 days now.

    Ello everyone. I'm a newb in some respect but I've also studied the trailers and looked at tons of info. My conclusion is it's Godzilla. That's the only thing that makes sense. Since Godzilla is the only monster ever made at any time we can conclude that it's Godzilla. We should soon see P.Diddy roll out with a Cloverfield video while sampling another classic but trying to make it all about him. Hopefully you detected my sarcasm. About 10 mins of research would uncover the simple facts that it's not Godzilla, Voltron, or Cthulhu. It does however look insanely badass and I hope it's viral marketing pays off. I don't research the movie too deep or try to find any leaks. I wanna be as fresh as the makers of the film want me to be. If they are showing me something I entrust that it's only enough to get some idea for the movie, not the solving of the issue of what exactly is this monster? That grabbing campaign can be bot city man. Going to get out of control once little hacker emo kids try to mess it up for the rest of us.

    its okay lulu any new developments?

    Mainstream Hip Hop/Rap is by far the worst genre of music. I'll listen to MF DOOM, Taleb Kweli, Mos Def, Jedi Mind Tricks, and even Matisyahu over fabricated bullshit POP HOP/ Krunk any day. These Pop rappers have so much fucking money that it makes me sick. I hate when a movie uses pop artists for a soundtrack. I guess it could be worst. At least Diddy didn't make an appearance in Godzilla 98. I'm still trying to forget about Vanilla Ice showing up in TMNT 2.
  • geezer
    yea, putting rappers/singers in your movie is a great way to make your movie bomb. i believe thats the reason BE COOL (sequal to get shoty) didn't do so well. cuz it had so many rap stars in it who seemed like they had just learned to act the day before production started

    I was watching a Movie on USA, and it went to commercial "This program is brought to you by CLOVERFIELD, in theatres 1-18-08" THen straight into an extended version of the Trailer.

    trailer looks amazing. ive been amazed since i first saw it before the transformers movie in the theaters. go type in cloverifeld in google images. they seem fake but they all have some similarity between the images. it def comes from the sea, but not necessarily a sea monster. it has like the back end of a whale and the front end of something
  • dudeman1
    Eric, nobody knows what the monster looks like, those are all Fan Drawings I Got an old School "MONSTROUS" Poster Sweet!
  • Eric
    Ohhhh. well anyways, Abrams said he is sure the secret identity of what it is will leak out before 1.18.08
  • Eric
    well the true identity of the monster will proly leak out before the movie opens. what is the most popular theory of what cloverfield refers to? is it central park?
  • Steve-O
    I just saw a commercial for the movie on channel 55 at 11:12 pm............and apparently, the girl being held down by the biohazard people in the trailer actually mutates cuz in the commercial, an anonymous woman yells, "we got a bite!" and then you see the girl with a bloody nose and a rather pale dreaded face, so we are more assured that individual 'parasite' creatures are roaming the city.
  • dudeman1
    Yeah Steve, I havent seen it on TV yet, but i have seen that one on the internet. The Whole we got a bite thing backs up the smaller monster theory. Even though I try not to agree with it, it seems like that theory is coming true. I always thought it would be cool if its like a Zombie type thing lol, that still sounds corny but anyway for me to think it isnt a smaller monster keeps me happy. I actually saw an extended version of the actual trailer on USA network channel. Final Destination 2 was playing and my Girlfriend was watching it when I came over then it said "This program is brought to you by Cloverfield, in theatres 1-18-08" then the long official trailer. I got too excited I think. JJ Abrams needs to give us a christmas present now.... PS Merry Christmas!

  • Ken
    I'm goin with the Ctlulu theory based on the fact that this movie is an attempt to give America it's own monster, if you think it's godzilla thats ignorant, anyone who thinks a movie like this is godzilla is just hoping so because the other godzilla movies were terrible, plus they would not shoot the other movies like they did and do this movie "blair witch style" it would be like shooting all the star wars in normal shots then shooting one with random first person camera angles, doesn't make sense, "Call of the Ctlulu" by H.P. lovecraft is the best representation that I can find, based on the fact that Abrams and lovecraft have similar wild styles, and that supposedly this movie is based loosely off of short stories of lovecrafts.... I did find some interesting illustrations that look legit, didn't know if anyone had seen this yet... check it out and let me know... http://www.movieweb.com/search/?search=cloverfield+monster+designs
  • dudeman1
    KEN, IT IS NOT BASED OFF HP LOVECRAFT.... That Picture is completely Fan Based. Try reading some shit before you post. Check out cloverfieldclues.com and read from the start, or go to the top of this page and read most of the 2133 comments before you you post something stupid like that again. Geezer, I heart you! Merry Christmas and happy holidays and what not! That is a very good "Twas the night before Cloverfield" haha, i think I will print that and bring it to Iraq with me, along with my new Slusho! T-shirt
  • dudeman1
    So, i joined the Cloverfield Facebook fan page... that place just upsets me So I dont recommend reading comments... ahh, its like Newb central over there!! BLEH!
  • Eric
    im one of them,lol. seems like there is one big monster and a bunch of smaller parasites from it that are the ones biting
  • geezer claus
    ahh little kenneth, it's noobs like you that make me wanna get up and slap somebody. but since it's jesus' birthday, im not gonna do that. instead, im just gonna sit back and laugh vigorously at your comment, and sip some cider. CHEERS! to all the veterans of this board.

    Merry Christmas everyone! I've read every post since July so technically I am not a newby. I decided to give my self a gift and post a comment. First I would like to say Merry Christmas to Lulu, Cowpatty, H.P., Geezer and Ripper. Each of you have discovered some good leads and kept the true newbys in check. Keep up the good work and I look forward to reading the next cloverfield discovery on the best team research site on the internet.
  • dudeman1
    Sweet.. did firstshowing change the layout? Im scavaging through every single Cloverfield related site waiting for a Cloverfield Christmas present. Nothing yet, but I will not give up hope. I realized my Slusho! Shirt is XXL, a couple sizes to big. Slusho! must really make you feel like a whale...

    I expect a big movie commercial New Years Eve since most-likely everyone will be watching the same channel......I mean why not?
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Merry post-Christmas to you all!! I did not get anything Cloverfield related for Christmas, I don't think my family realizes how deeply this movie is ingrained in my life but I did get several movie gift cards so I will definitely be using one of them to go see the flick. Dudeman1, what guerilla marketing is going on in California? I live in northern CA but I haven't heard anything. Not surprising though since I don't have TV or read the newspaper. I hope Santa was good to all of you. Happy Birthday Jesus! I wish all of you a belated Merry Christmas and look forward for more "chatting" with you all as we approach 1/18/08. I'm curious as to what will happen after the movie comes out. I assume that we will post for at least a week or two after the release just to discuss it and compare notes but what happens after that? Will we disband and disperse? Will we all migrate to some other thread and discuss some other movie? I haven't been a part of something like this before so I have no frame of reference on the ending of it. Any thoughts?
  • geezer
    i was wonderin' the same cowpatty. what will become of this group a week or 2 after this movie? hopefully we could get each others e-mails and stay in contact
  • Eric
    well another forum said that abrams has a new star trek movie and there is a teaser trailer before cloverfield, so that my start a new thread somewhere...
  • ddot3
    nothing personal, but i'm way to much of a star wars fan to be involved in any sort of star trekie-ism... sorry not 4 me!!!!!!! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!
  • H.P.
    Now if J.J. does a four episode "Heroes" storyline, I would be in heaven. Merry X-MAS one and all. I will be posting the slusho xmas card my gf made for me. It kicks ass. She put so much effort into it. There is a tree inside decorated with slusho characters and tagruato xmas balls. It has a slusho bot on the front in holiday colors.
  • geezer
    again h.p, you have one amazing girl. new jamie and teddy video! she calls TAGARAUTO to see if teddy was telling the truth about him being held in captivity. remember, the password is jllovesth. theres a transcript at cloverfieldclues.com, if needed
  • ddot3
    forgive me i work nights and my mind races alot, but, what if tagruato took Teddy and did some kind of experiment on him or as some type of weird punishment turn him into the monster... think about it, why new york? Maybe because it a place that's familiar to him. Maybe this infection turns everyone infected into these things depending on the dose of slusho [or whatever ingrediant it has in it that causes this]. i don't know, i'm just rambling..........................
  • ddot3
    what if teddy is the monster...? just a thought
  • LuLu
    Merry belated Christmas to everyone!!! Hope all is well!! So it has been kinda slow.... The new Jamie and Teddy video is very interesting. The fact that Tagruato called back definately indicates that they are have been caught totally off guard by Jamie asking about the whereabouts of Teddy. The fact that they also asked for her name and address means they are on to her. Looks like Jamie is going down! My guess is they are gonna try to cover up the mess with Teddy by seeking out Jamie and eventually destroying her.. Eeeek poor Jamie :( ... I swear I saw a new commercial on tv for cloverfield earlier. It was really fast and I was flipping through channels so I dont think I caught all of it but the part that caught my attention was with Rob and he said something along the lines of "where did they come from?" Then the scene went black and the tagline that reads "We are not alone" rolls across the screen and then it showed the bad ass helicopter and headless SOL scene.. It was really quick and was hard to see everything but it got me very excited. Did anyone see the one I am talking about??? This makes me think there HAS to be other monsters or something.. Where did THEY come from, hmmm very interesting dontcha think?
  • geezer
    yup lulu. i believe i saw that one too. i remember rob saying "did you see that guy we talked to, he didnt even know what it was" or something like that. it got my attention because i havnt heard that line before. and i deffinately remember reading "we are not alone" on the screen. and ddot3, that theory makes perfect sense. since tagruato was already working on a "project" they could of just got teddy and used him as a lab rat. he would have mutated from a large amount of secret ingredient and broke loose. then headed toward new york were his love was, but since the ingredient screwed his mind up he attacks it instead...or tagrauto sent him to new york to destroy jamie like lulu said. either way i bet you that the monster is a mutated altered version of teddy
  • sjihttisthijs
    Found a illustrated picture of a monster for the movie. Almost 100% sure it's fan made but i thought just for fun and eventualy a discussion. http://bp3.blogger.com/_wvoLtwni0kc/R22oCaUrkcI/AAAAAAAAM0o/b3Y8R_GVDLk/s1600-h/clvrf-monster.jpg
  • dudeman1
    wow, sjihttis, I have never seen that one before. Interesting depiction. Looks alot cooler then the Whale Looking godzilla fanart lol. The Teddy thing sounds a little far fetched to me... but at the same time I can see it. I mean, Tagruato Bold Futura does do Gene manipulation stuff and what not. Whether it is Teddy or not it definately has to be a mutated version of something.
  • geezer
    yup sjihtt, thats a fan made one, i think that monster was originally used in a cartoon or something like that. and yea the teddy theory is kinda far fetched, but its very logic at the same time considering that this is a sci-fi movie
  • geezer
    jamie was most likely cheating on teddy anyway (as seen in video 2) so most likely she could care less about the end of the relationship. and thats why shes so happy at the party
  • geezer
    i think they called just because she even mentioned teddy's name.
  • sjihttisthijs
    The pictures on 1-18-08 of the party shows jamie all happy and partying, so why the buzz about jamie and teddy...
  • sjihttisthijs
    maybe tagruato is calling back because they know teddy gave the ''special gift''
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I bet the next video shows her scared and talks about weird phone calls she's been receiving, and maybe shadowy characters following her or something.
  • geezer
    yup, i think so too cowpatty. and there are two new tv spots 0n youtube. spot number 5 is in bootleg quality but spot 4 shows up fine. i would just post the links but im cant use my computer. so what youll have to do is type in "cloverfield tv spot 4" (without quotes of course) the same goes for tv spot 5. when you watch spot 4 listen to the dialog closely
  • Smoothjc1
    Is it just me ,but on the Jamie & Teddy vid's , Just before she takes what ever she takes off her cam. does it look like a face, you have to look sideways... Is it just me...
  • geezer
    *correction* for the 5th spot, type in "new cloverfield spot from mtv"
  • ddot3
    we all the know the most intrigal part of this movie is the monster, right? usually, in movie's like this the monster is not only the story but most likely has a story of it's own...no sh!t. i say that to say this.... the reason i came to the conclusion of the monster being Teddy is alot of times in these movie the monsters are misunderstood even though they wreak total havoc{ie; the incredible hulk} and the only way in my opinion to give the monster any kind of depth {or motive for that matter} it has to come from something that has emotion, weather it be anger, compassion or what have you, therefore the whole Jaime vids {compassion} and Rob {anger, distruction maybe}. Maybe this is way left field but i been reading the post long enough, pretty much since the begining, so i figured i'd might as well take my shot in the dark.....
  • http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington
    Are any of you guys who frequent this thread from the Denver, CO or Salt Lake City, UT area?? If so, let me know... There is an early screening of Cloverfield on the 15th in a lot of places... and I'd like to try and get a few of you into a screening if you're in one of those cities. Let me know... And keep up the discussion - always good stuff!
  • Smoothjc1

  • geezer
    i wish i lived in utah or colorado (not because i want 4 wives). are those the only cities/states private screenings are gonna be held alex? oh, the 6th tv spot is on youtube now guys. just go to cloverfieldclues.com and watch the 3 newest ones in HD
  • http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington
    No, actually... the screenings are supposed to be nationwide, but nothing is confirmed yet. I only have other info about a Las Vegas one on the 15th as well. But as far as I "know", there should be screenings most places around the country on the 15th. I think they want to generate early buzz again before the 1-18 date. The only reason I say Colorado / Utah is cause I can help you guys get into those screenings. But as for other cities, it's up to you to find passes on your own...
  • dudeman1
    SHIT! Im currently in Wyoming for a few more days... the 15th still is to late. Looks like im going to end up buying the $1 bootleg Iraqi version :'( I keep watching these TV Spots and it is upsetting me... Also Cloverfieldclues has the new TV Spots up also, along with a sonar image from some dude that I dont know the backstory of at all. But the sonar images are probably off of the Tagruato Page. Just read it at cc (cloverfieldclues) and DDot, i like yoour whole emotions theory also. We have discussed something similar way back when, I am pretty sure we decided that there had to be a motive to rip the SOL's head off. When imagining the monster just remember JJ Said its going to be "as shocking as it is terrifying" so, when we get to see it im expecting a like "Holy F***" from the crowd or something.
  • H.P.
    I may be going crazy. Last night I was taking a look a my cloverfield poster. I noticed a happy humanoid face in between two buildings. I dont think it's smoke because the color is off from the rest of the smoke. The face resembles the michelin man. Think back to the last Jamie and teddy vid. He told Jamie not to eat the sea bed's nectar. My guess is maybe he knows something about the ingredient by first hand experience. Maybe our friend Teddy became a human slusho test subject much like those dogs on the tagruato site. I bet he fucked up bad with the company and they punished him. Sending the tape recorder and sea bed's nectar I'm sure was the last straw and set tagruato off, which is why he is captured, fed slusho constantly, and eventually turned into something. Hey Teddy!! You can't drink just six!! You gotta keep on drinking!!! I can almost hear the torturing going on. I mean if someone had a gun to my head I would drink slusho all day. Slusho is people!!! That's the most important clue on slusho
  • geezer
    yup h.p, thats what ddot3 conluded and what i emphasized on posts 2147 and 2150 mystery solved, but yet there are still noobs swearing up and down that the monster is godzilla
  • Phenox1707
    Hey all. Back again finally. Merry belated Christmas. I know it's been awhile since I posted, but I wanted to let you all know I'm still reading every single post that comes up here. Just been a bit busy. Anyways, I'm not completely sure that Teddy will be the monster. I mean, you guys do have good evidence to back up this theory, but it just doesn't seem too plausible to me. In my opinion, there are too many places where the theory could be wrong to say "Mystery solved". I've personally come to many different conclusions that have been proven wrong, so I'm not getting my hopes too high on this one. And I just had a thought. The movie is supposed to be a documentary on the events of the "invasion" on 1.18.08, right? So who says that half of these questions will be answered during the movie? The mystery might continue even after the movie is done. Maybe we'll still have something to talk about.
  • geezer
    what if they started selling slusho! at the movie theatres and at 7-11s like they sold duff beer and Krusty-Os for the simpson's movie advertisements
  • H.P.
    I think it would be wise to bet on that geezer. Not sure how commercial Abrams wants to go with this. I mean myspace and facebook already have plenty of play. I guess a slevvy's promo would be pretty cool. Is is just me or does Rob and crew seem over confident during most of the chaos. Maybe they can reason with the monster because it's Teddy. I mean if I turned into a giant monster I wouldn't kill my friends. lol!!
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I don't know H.P., Rob and Beth don't look too confident huddled under the bridge in Central Park. Plus, if Teddy is the monster, what about all the little monsters that may or may not be in the movie? Are they the little dogs? Teddy and little dogs all connected together like some monster transformer? I like the Teddy=Monster idea but I don't know if it fits. I also like the idea that Phenox1707 had that the story may continue after the movie is over. Maybe it will turn into some big thing like Star Wars or something where there are conventions and everyone dresses up like Rob or any of the other characters. Somehow I doubt this and hope it doesn't happen. I've never been to a convention like that and quite frankly, from the pictures, video and stories I've seen and heard, I don't want to go to one.

    Happy New Year everyone! Damn I remember first seeing the trailer and wondering what the hell is this! Now its finally here I can't believe it. Pretty exciting shit! Well hope everyone has a great New Year and I can't wait to see what the monster is!
  • mtthw
    Hi folks, and Happy New Year! OK, all, I am going to post an idea/theory that is not likely to be correct, so don't waste your time with rude replies. Just throwing it out there. what if it is a Starcraft movie? The game Starcraft is an American original, if I am not mistaken. The creators (from the company Blizzard Entertainment) are american. Think of these aspects of the game: large bug like aliens (zergs). Gigantic sized buglike alien creatures (ultralisks). Infected humans (infected by way of parasites) that swell up and blow up. Also, much smaller ones the size of people (zerglings). and large bug/jelly-fish sort-of Overlords that can transport smaller zerglings and drop them off to infest/raid land sites. What if this is the first invasion/encounter with the evil Zerg race from the game for mankind? JJ Abrams has said that people will be very surprised by what it turns out to be. Maybe that is because Stracraft has such a huge fanbase (basically the most popular PC game of all time, or one of them). Just throwing it out there. Many zerg-like elements can be found in what little info is out there. Probably not right, just stirring the pot. Please don't respond with "its totally original" or "straight from the mind of JJ Abrams". Mtthw
  • H.P.
    Man, I'm so pissed right now!!!! My gf's boss is going to see Cloverfield tomorrow night!!! It's legit too because she has to sign all sorts of paperwork!!!! I guess alot of theater execs are watching it tomorrow night. So it looks like tomorrow night is the secret release!!!! Fucking shit!!!! I hate this lady too, and to top it off she could give a rats ass about the movie and has already said she may not go!!!
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Happy New Year fellow Cloverfield buffs (and buffettes). Every year I say that this year is going to be better than the last year and each time it's actually worse. But I am determined so again I say that "this year will be better than last year". There, I said it. Let the doom begin. The first bright shining spot in 2008 is Cloverfield. I am excited to see it but I'm not sure if I can see it on 1/18. I will be out of town that week and will get back probably on Thursday. I have a wife and 3 small children. My wife will likey lay a guilt trip on me about spending time with the family instead of going to "some stupid movie". So it may be several days before I can actually see it. How this plays out should be a good indicator of how my year will be. I hope you all have a great year.
  • Pitchaxis
    Happy new year to everyone. I hope this year treats you better than last year.
  • dudeman1
    Happy 08! I go to Iraq in a week and a couple days Damn! I will need a bootleg of the movie for sure or I may go crazy. New developments. Tidowave says the Chuai station is missing. new mesage on tidowave.com also cloverfieldclues.com and happy new year once more! deuces
  • H.P.
    I just want to warn everyone that by the time the weekend comes people will know what the monster is. If anyone still wants the monster to stay secret then I would stay off any blogs or cloverfield orientated sites besides of course the main pages. Friday will most likely be my last day on here until I see the movie on the 17th.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809873032/video/5200943/ Has anyone else seent the 3rd video entitled "On the Roof"? This is the first time I saw it and I don't remember reading about it anywhere. Of course, I haven't been checking around at other sites like I used to. Like H.P. said, the closer the time comes the more people will have seen it. I have been scaling back on my research because I don't want to have it spoiled for me.
  • Steve-O
    yea, I have work after school on Friday so I probably will not see the movie opening day which sucks....
  • H.P.
    SCHOOL!!! There is no such thing as school when that movie opens!!!! I suggest all kids stay home and watch it!!! I know If I was still in school my mom would prob insist I stay home. I used to play hookie once in a while in my day, but it was usually when something really good would come out. I remember skipping school for star wars ep 1. I know ep 1 may seem stale now, but when that movie came out it was the best feeling sitting in the theater!!!!
  • geezer
    nope i dont think i have cowpatty, can you describe to me what happens, or could you possibly upload it somewhere. my computer broke down and i have to use my game console to get on the internet and my game console wont support yahoo videos. and i hope you can provide details for us of your cloverfield movie experience on the 17th h.p good luck in iraq brother dudeman, i hope you will be able to see the movie somehow before the week and 4 days is up. and go ahead and pimp slap a couple of those arabs for me new jamie and teddy video up. its not much though, shes just drunk as hell complaining about what her ex-boyfriend did to her... just how i like em'
  • ddot3
    over at cloverfieldclues.com where it talks about the chuai station disappearing, did anyone notice the second to last line? it' s almost a direct quote from the commercial "people are gonna wanna know what happened" or something like that. just saying.... also new jaime and teddy video #7 i believe. didn'y watch it yet though... be back after i do
  • ddot3
    How's this for a theory... What if SLUSHO is not only the catalyst for this monster{monsters, epidemic, ect:} what if it's also the cure? BARE WITH ME FOR A MOMENT: Obviously, the ingridient in slusho has some kinda effect on people, we established that much so far... but what if the sample teddy sent to jaime was meant to be given to some one who knew how to reverse the effect {Rob maybe?} Another thing that led me to believe this theory is the game that's on the slusho website, you know the one where you can mix different flavors together... I'm almost willing to go as far as to say i bet if some one had enough time to sit there and come up with the right combination you might unlock some valuable information, other wise what's the purpose of it, ya know?
  • H.P.
    Nice work ddot3!! Glad to see someone talking about slusho.jp again. Basically after this Friday the only sites I will be visiting is slusho.jp, 1-18-08, and Tagruato. I have always thought that the mixing flavors part on slusho served a purpose. I vow to crack it. That on the roof clip is the one you can upload on your myspace, facebook,etc. I think you were away when all that went down cowpatty. Basically it's over a minute of actual footage from the movie and not a trailer.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I suspected as much. Thanks H.P. You know, speaking of Star Wars I have to tell you guys (and gals) a story that is completely true but no one would believe me until just recently when other information started coming available to prove I was right. I swear the version of Star Wars I saw in 1977 was a different version than everyone else saw. I was only 7 at the time but I distinctly remember several key things that you didn't see when it came out on video. Some of these are now on the Special Edition. I remember: At the very beginning when the ship with Princess Leia on it is being attacked and captured there is a scene on Tatooine of Luke looking up into the sky and seeing flashes of light of the battle being fought. -- This is nowhere on video now but I recently read in a magazine about it being cut (evidently before release). I remember Luke meeting up with Biggs just before they head off to battle the Death Star. -- This is now in the Special Edition I remember during the Death Star battle scenes, Biggs' X-wing blows up. Luke yells "Biggs!". Then he says "We were a couple of shooting stars". -- This is not found anywhere. At the time, before the Special Edition, I would mention this to people and they would think I was crazy. Even Star Wars fanatics didn't know what I was talking about. I suspect that somehow my father got special advance screening tickets or something which would be really weird because he's not a big movie guy like I am. Anyway, back to Cloverfield, going to Jameandteddy.com to see the new video.
  • dudeman1
    I really hope a bootleg comes out in the next week or I might cry. Myspace is now advertising cloverfield at the login screen. Just noticed that this morning, so Im expecting some super newbs to be showing up.
  • H.P.
    Thanks for ruining my day dudeman..LOl!! No matter, I'm departing from this board anyway. Keep the newbs in check for us dudeman. You should download frostwire to try and get a boot with. Not sure you will see one till at least a few weeks after release. I think you should just go A-wall dudeman lol!!! Wish I could help you on your star wars problem cowpatty, but sadly I was part of the generation that grew up watching the vhs. I'm a huge star wars fan but I don't recall any of those parts. I refuse to give in to the special edition. I still own the trilogy on vhs. I took good care of them so they actually play like new. As for the new trilogy, it just seemed logical to get those on dvd. I hate people who put down the acting in the new trilogy. The acting has always been sort of simplified in the star wars films because they are kids movies. Kids need to understand the films. Who is your fav character in the entire franchise? You can pick a minor and major character. I like Bossk and Dash Rendar.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I always liked R2-D2. The wise cracking, authority snubbing droid. Big fan of Darth Vader also. Definitely the most fearsome villian of his time. As for minor characters, I always like the Rancor (or is it Rankor). A tiny little puppet in real life that looked like this huge, drooling, scary monster in the film. And who can resist lovable Chewbacca. I felt such pride for him when he was standing at the front of the ceremony at the end of Episode IV receiving his medal from Princess Leia. One of my favorite moments.
  • Pitchaxis
    I like Kyp Duron and darth malak from the extended universe. From the movies I like Han Solo very cocky but just a little bit unsure. I also like General Veers.
  • H.P.
    Very nice Pitch!! I have a great appreciation for the expanded universe. I don't really consider Dash Rendar part of the expanded universe even though he is. George Lucas has even said that he wanted to do Shadows of the Empire in film form first but then decided on a multimedia project instead. I also like Thrawn. As a kid I was a big yoda and Vader fan. I remember in school there was a houghton mifflin textbook that had a chapter of movie scenes in script form. I remember the class reading the dagobah scene from empire, then my teacher let us watch Empire. Always cool when you get to watch Star Wars in school.

    Hey Steve-o, sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your comment, but yeah, an End-of-the-world style just makes sense, I mean if its just an attack on NY who cares? but the whole world, yeah those make the best kind of movies. i.e. Armaggedon, Day After Tomorrow, Independance Day. And I did see I Am Legend... Dec. 14 at the midnight showing with a bunch of my buddies, yeah I enjoyed it alot. P.S. This is my first time being a part of a comment board or whatever, this is alot of fun, I think I'll keep doing this even after I've seen the movie
  • bigleorocks
    i have read all these damn posts and i am just going to go and see the damn movie on opening day...they better show this damn monster or heads will roll!!!!
  • bigleorocks
    in a sadistic way i wish this kind of thing would really happen....hahaha
  • H.P.
    I have vital info on cloverfield!!!!!!! I don't wan't to just come out and talk, I need the approval of this message board. I promise it's not a monster spoiler. I could get in trouble for letting out this info. All I will say is my gf got an email from the district manager who saw the movie last night. You guys know me well by now. Trust me this is 100% legit info and you can only get it here on the #1 Cloverfield message board. So let's take a quick Iowa style vote. If I get more yays than nays then we are ready to go with this info. My gf is currently altering the email that was sent to protect the person's Identity.
  • H.P.
    Also wikipedia has a slew of new info.
  • H.P.
    P.S. I accidentally ruined it for myself, but the movie is gonna be the best sci fi horror movie ever made so it doesn't really matter. If anyone wants info on the monster just put up your email. NO NEWBS PLEASE!!!!!
  • bigleorocks
    NO NEWBS??
  • H.P.
    Sorry sjihttisthijs. I can give you some very good hints on the monster's appearance and the running time of the film since you are a Newbie. Sorry man, but at least you aren't an annoying newb who thinks it's Godzilla which is why you get at least some info.
  • sjihttisthijs
    Well, after 2207 posts, you could say that you all put enough effort into this movie to reveale at least something (not all off course) If the other fellow bloggers says nay, nee, no, nein and def. not then put it on this sjihttisthijs@hotmail.com (made this adres especially and only for this purpose, so it's safe for me) And many thanx for the info H.P.
  • bigleorocks
    so lemme get this straight...someone who has not posted a hundred posts on this cant get any info....personally, i dont want any info. I would rather walk into the movie theatre cluless than knowing everything. But if some dude wants some info just give it to em. If somebody wants to think its godzilla let them...its a free country, why do you have to act like yer christ and own the fucking site, and put people down. Is really gonna matter what you know or knew after the movie is realeased? Not the slightest bit. whatcha gonna do? tell everybody i told you so...just let people post whatever they want with out having to worry about being insulted. I'm glad you ruined the movie for yerself.
  • H.P.
    Ok bigs!!! I been on here since July. I got tired and anxious. Sounds like your just a hostile newb. Obviously I consulted the board before any leaking. I could have been a real dick and posted the entire plot and monster description, but I didn't. So why are you being so angry towards me. If people wanna know(and I think it's every cloverfield vets right) then they can. I'm not gonna let some punk who just got on this board all of a sudden give me shit. The info I have has not ruined the movie for me, but instead has made me even more excited. So chill out big LEO. I'm not taking any credit from Alex Billington. It's his site. I am very grateful for him setting this site up for us. Slusho is people!!!
  • geezer
    i hope this info doesnt spoil the whole movie mr. Phillips my email is hornlakepimp@hotmail.com and i do believe that you have to earn the info. if your just now finding out about cloverfield, then that means you didnt spend hours on end putting together all these microscopic peices (clues) to this gigantic puzzle (movie). but for the people who have been here since the beggining or middle, who have spent there free time searching all over the web for hints and clues should deffinately diserve to get e-mailed the new info. people like myself, h.p, phenox (and the other 2 members of the 4-horsemen, wherever they are..), dudeman, cowpatty, lulu, and some others (you know who you are)
  • Dolemite
    C'mon, H.P. Hook me up. I've followed from the beginning, but I'm a busy guy. All I really did was identify Jessica Lucas (with her fine ass). That's gotta count for something, right? My email is dnell7@yahoo.com
  • J.J. Abrams
    Once y'all get H.P.'s insider information, you will all inevidably begin discussing it on this message board so just stay tuned if you want a "spoiler." Quit crying about everything all the time.
  • Corey
    Send it to cb2k5@yahoo.com if you are still doing that
  • dudeman1
    cellbeer@hotmail.com finally some good shit. I am looking forward to an email from you HP
  • ddot3
    HP, hook me up with the info... dwright717@comcast.net hopefully i'm deemed worthy enough of it, i've been here since the begin and have done my research, so hook me up....!
  • Steve-O
    Thanks HP pavilion for everyone's email....ha ha just kidding, but I want this movie to be entirely a surprise. This is the first movie I have seen in a while that I did not want to hear about any spoilers......but I will check out wiki
  • Corey
    If you guys really want a spoiler then hmm... I'm going to let you figure this out on your own.... I have the information (not from HP) swear to god I've read the entire movie beginning to end and even after knowing all of that I want to see it in action even more. It's reasurring to know that the majority of my initial thoughts were true and moreover, looking at the HD trailers with new eyes and seeing things you wouldn't normally see. For example the monster IS in the Apple Trailer you just have to look for it's red eyes. And when the Statue lands, it actually lands on Jamie's taxi and she dies! Stupid bitch, she deserves it. Good luck everyone but for those of you who are easily swayed with information you can wait 2 weeks :-P
  • dudeman1
    Could have gone without the Jamie spoiler there... thanks
  • ddot3
    in the trailer the SOL head doesn't smash the cab, it lands slightly in front of it and pushes it back... look closer. so, dudeman did you get that info from HP? just curious...
  • H.P.
    Not sure how much you guys wanted spoiled so I just threw in some minor stuff. Let me know if you guys want something more lengthy and complete (spoiler filled). All I'm gonna say is Jamie is a very bitchy and annoying character. She is not a nice person. Trust me dudeman your gonna be happy when that bitch dies. The taxi does not get crushed. A piece of debris impales her.
  • Corey
    It's still fatal. You're correct but it's still fatal. Sorry dudeman but I could've done worse. That's only 1/100,000th of what you can expect from the movie. Jamie is literally nothing but an accident that you can't wait to have happen. Don't be down it's going to be the best night ever.
  • dudeman1
    lol, well that explains why she really isnt in the trailer. Why is she so annoying? Is she drunk and wont stop talking about Teddy? haha... Go ahead and spoil me HP, I wont be able to see the movie for a while anyway
  • Scott
    HP can i get an in depth spoiler of the movie? Please?! Or at least what the monster is PLEASE Aitutaki88@yahoo.com thats my email Thanks!
  • dudeman1
    Why would you not just wait a couple weeks Scott? I would if I had the chance to actually see it... dont ruin it for yourself
  • geezer
    yea scott, don't pop your cloverfield cherry just yet
  • Steve-O
    aww man im so excited!
  • Steve-O
    oh yea HP, based on the spoilers you have seen, what is the verdict on the overall movie? worth the long wait, or jsut another movie?
  • dudeman1
    Rob is officially about to start working for Slusho! trying to get the drink hyped up in the USA. haha, no one saw that one coming
  • Scott
    Sorry lol But the tension is going to burst my Cloverfield Cherry for me =P You think Jaimie would have commented on Rob's blog after his mention of Targuarto or how ever it's spelled. Why hasn't she been online? Is she that depressed about Teddy and thinking that he's with another girl?
  • H.P.
    This thing is gonna give you nightmares. Pretty rare for a pg-13 movie to do that to ya. This movie will have the biggest winter opening ever!!! Could be one of the scariest monsters ever created. We can truly be proud of our own monster. This thing makes Godzilla look cute and stupid. There is a very good reason why the monster hides so well in the trailers. The huge/alive line makes so much sense.
  • dudeman1
    HP! I recall you saying you saw the monster in the scene of the the fighter jets dropping bombs on the streets. I JUST NOW SAW IT. it took me so long (Sorry my laptop got stolen and I was dead). I now see it. In the official trailer at the scene when the fighter jets fly by and there is an explsion in the streets, there is a face. as HP said before, right above the explsion in the trailer there is a brighter orange circle which is actually an eye. If you look at the eye, you can see a face. watche the official trailer at cloverfieldmovie.com you CAN see the monster as HP had already stated many comments ago. The head looks like smoke, but fokus on the orange eye.Props to HP
  • H.P.
    The monster has crazy red eyes. Watch the trailer closely. As I stated way back, pay close attention to the background. You will constantly see what appears to be red lights but it's actually the monsters eyes. If you own the movie poster the monster's face can be seen between two buildings. The best way to see it is at the theater because they have the posters backlit. My gf is working today so I will prob try snapping a pic of it.
  • Corey
    I think I discovered the face in the poster but I'll need HP to tell me if I'm mistaken. http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/face.bmp And I also think I snapped a pretty good shot of the monster's face and red eyes in this one. I'm going to keep looking like HP said to see if I can't find more. http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/face2.bmp
  • H.P.
    You got it Corey!! The arrow on the first is actually pointing to the claws, if you look lower you can see the face. Also if you stop the trailer when marlena says "we cant go into the middle of the city" the monster can be seen in the background. It looks like he is coming around the corner. Again I have mentioned all this before and people just thought I was nuts. Last thursday I made the projectionist take a good look at the poster (I'll admit we were a little baked) but he without question agreed there was somthing there that resembled a face. I also noted that it could not be smoke since it was a different color than the rest of the smoke.
  • bigleorocks
    however long yer ass has been on this site HP does not give you the right to put people down for thinking its godzilla or whatever the hell they want to think it is. It cracks me up that you claim to be a "cloverfield vet" as i am an actual war veteran. It is insulting to hear people claim they are vets of anything so insignificant as a blog for a movie. I'm done...just let people post what they want without insulting them or calling them newbies. I'm goin to see the movie opening night hope its all its cracked up to be. Peace
  • H.P.
    You seem to be the only one with the problem. The fact that you think the word vet only applies to you is ignorant. I find your comments insulting and sad. You seem to have a big prob with the word "newbie". It's a very lighthearted insult so get over it already. You have done nothing but bitch since you got in here. Why don't you post a useful comment? Is it because you know next to nothing about this movie. Also why would I let people think it's godzilla when I know for a fact that it isn't. Besides you seem to be missing the point of all this. There is an entire back story that a 87min movie just can't touch on. That my idiot friend is the point of the viral marketing. P.S. Im guessing you are a desert storm vet. If you spent time getting to know people rather than bitch you would realize we have a soldier on here who won't be seeing the film because he is going to clean up your mess. You don't know what a fucking war is!!!!! If people thought movies were more significant than war then I would have no problem with that. Dudeman set this newbie straight for me will ya.
  • Reese
    go to http://www.1-18-08.com/ and flip the pictures over on the back of the one it has a bunch of writing in japanies try to translate it
  • sjihttisthijs
    H.P. do you mean the red eyes you see at the top left, when marlena says "we cant go into the middle of the city" If not, can you please take a snapshot, because i looked a thousand times but i'm not sure :S peace
  • dudeman1
    Thankyou for your service bigelorocks. However, you are as ignorant as HP said. Why if you have a problem then go somewhere else. We are our own community here, you are not welcome. You being a war vet is awesome, but unfortunately you are not a Cloverfield Vet like us. So, Newb, try to be a part of the cloverfield expirience by researching before you comment or leave. All of us have put in months of detective work on this movie, and if that seems silly to you then I again will agree with HP as to how ignorant you are. Say something smart, and show some respect or get the fuck out of here. HP, your a genius, maybe one day we can smoke a bowl together haha. This being my last sunday in the states it is time to get drunk
  • geezer
    hey h.p can you tell me if this is the monster or not? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5L0ONRkiDA if you can just email me the answer that would be good, so it wont spoil it for others email: hornlakepimp@hotmail.com

  • H.P.
    I should mention that the pics posted before were snapshots taken on my mac screen so the quality is very low on older pc monitors. Also try turning the monitor gamma up or open the pic in a photo editor and tweak the brightness otherwise you won't see what I am seeing.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I'll take whatever you included in your original email H.P. Based on that I can decide if I'd like more info. Thanks. cowpattybill@myway.com Not to defend bigelorocks but it's not his fault dudeman1 has to go clean up the mess. I was in Desert Storm and if there was something that I could have done to finish it once and for all I would have.
  • sjihttisthijs
    I've got a mac especialy made for graphic design so, no problemo. Thnx agian H.P.
  • H.P.
    I agree cowpatty. I didn't mean it to come out that way as I was only making a generalized comment on Desert Storm. I'm fully aware that soldiers follow orders. If I offended you in any way I apologize. I just hate seeing vets high step around about something that obviously failed.
  • bigleorocks
    I dont know what war is? THAT is the most insulting thing I have ever heard I have lost several good friends. Saw one killed with my own eyes. I would really like to slap you around dude. actually i am a iraqi freedom vet...all i was saying is if somebody wants some info just let them have it...newbie or not. I have been to iraq 3 times in the last 5 yrs. H.P you saying that its a soilders mess is the MOST ignorant fucking thing i have ever heard. WE as airman, soilders and whatnot just do our job...We didnt decide to start and fuck-up desert storm. My personal opinion is we should not be there at all. I have been watching this site just like everybody else because i'm interested. The thing that pissed me off was you telling people to leave the site and cutting them down for saying its godzilla, and etc. I also never said you guys didnt come up with good info. But I will leave YER site. dont wanna ruin it for myself anyways. Insults aside, my wife is in the AF, she just left for iraq last week...saying my prayers. VOTE for whoever will get us out of this mess.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    No offense taken. Thanks for the email H.P. I'll take a little more info if you've got it. Not too much. I drink my scotch in small sips. Don't want to overdue it. (actually I hate scotch but I was painting a picture).
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Don't want to piss my pants before the party even starts. Know what I mean?
  • H.P.
    I'm not gonna argue about something I don't support. I thought it was a bad idea from the start. You being an iraq war vet puts a different paint job on things (no offense to cowpatty). However I still see no progress. I feel bad dudeman1 is going out there but at the same time disagree with all of it. He respects my opinion and so should you. I just don't think it's fair to start handing out info to just anyone who rolls in here. Also I cant even remember The last time I really went off on a newb and told them to leave. Although I have my opinions I still respect what you and your wife are doing, but I don't see any of this ending good. If you want change you gotta vote ROCK BOMB. This doesn't change how ignorant I still think you are and for whatever it's worth I retract my comment on you not knowing what war is because you obviously do. So please let's drop this subject of war because I'm sure this shit is the last thing dudeman1 wants to here about when he pops in here.
  • pitchaxis
    HP i have not posted but a few times. However I have been here for a while and read all the posts if you don't mind i would like some info @ pitchaxis13@gmail.com. Thank you
  • bigleorocks
    why am i ignorant again? the only info i would like is how long the flic is going to be...and as far as supporting the war....i am probably the #1 non-supporter. But it pays the bills and will put my kid thru college. I kinda see yer point about not giving a "newbie" all yer info you guys have worked on, but why the hell not either. I am done with the insults...when you said i'm hostile...prolly am, i am bracing myself for not getting laid for six fucking months! I know this is off the subject...but you guys have info on the next transformers?
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    To quote one of the greatest minds of our time: "Can't we all just get along?" -- Rodney King I disagree with the reasons we are in Iraq and I support anyone in the military, especially those in Irag, Afghanistan, and any other place that isn't home. I have a cousin, and two friends in those areas and my prayers go out to them as well as your wife bigleorocks. That must be really tough with both of you being in the military. Do you ever get to see each other? Keep the info coming H.P.
  • bigleorocks
    ya...we have been married six yrs. and have been apart almost a total of three. It sucks but she retires in 4 yrs...I have a lil while longer to go than that. We go out on average every other year. Thanx for yer prayers.
  • H.P.
    Ok consider this a present. The movie is 87mins long. Transformers 2 comes out in 2010 along with Voltron. No hard feelings leo. Hope you decide to stick around. Yeah I remember you pitchaxis from early on so expect an email soon.
  • bigleorocks
    that sucks...i like a long movie...i knew that about transformers...i am wondering about megatron...there is no way in hell he is dead after the first movie.
  • bigleorocks
    i was never really a fan of voltron...i'm still disappointed they didnt use the theme song from the 86 movie...80's metal!!! haha
  • H.P.
    That's funny leo because a friend and I were listening to that soundtrack while playing Unreal 3 last night. We were getting pumped. YOU GOT THE TOUCH!!!!! But yeah my guess is megatron will come back as a gun and the second film will prob take place on the home planet.
  • bigleorocks
    i'm thinkin starscream comes back with others and fish megatron out of the ocean...bring him back...pissed off. Also i would like to see the constucticons and ultimately unicron for the third film..do you know anything about peter jackson making the hobbit?
  • H.P.
    Peter Jackson will only overlook the making of the hobbit? They actually gave that the green light a few weeks ago. I'm excited for The Dark Knight!!! Not sure how much of a comics fan you are but I been obsessed since I was a kid. I'm still crossing my fingers for a Lobo movie. I actually didn't think transformers was that great. It didn't make any sort of lasting impression. Plus how the heck did Spider-Man 3 get top grossings. I liked Spidey 3 for what it was and ultimately thought it was better than transformers.
  • pitchaxis
    I have that CD in right now! on instraments of destruction.
  • bigleorocks
    ya i have quite a comic collection...i like hulk the best...i also have a huge star wars and transformers toy collection...might be forced to sell tho to make room in the house for kid. damnit. i thought transformers could have been better too, but it's still transformers. basically i'm a spec ops that is an 70's and 80's toy nerd. i'm kinda stoked about the star wars tv series comin out in a coupla yrs.
  • dudeman1
    new photo on 1-18-08.com finally. Chuai station Ninjas!
  • H.P.
    Very nice!! Hulk was my fav growing up. I loved the gray hulk. I was always more of a marvel fan but lately DC has been on fire in the books. I love star wars too. I have quite the action figure collection. Almost all of my original trilogy figs are opened though, but I got all the new trilogy ones packed away for my eventual kids. My gf just got me some Battle Beasts for my birthday this past Friday. I loved battle beasts growing up. Did you know they were connected to transformers. They are like the ewoks of the transformers universe. I was also big into Willow growing up. My mom gave away my entire willow fig collect. I still cry about it to this day. P.S. I heard the tv series is gonna be animated in cgi. That sucks because I watch shit like blade runner and wonder why we do everything in cgi when old movies like that still hold up.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com cowpattybill@myway.com
    Sorry guys, still a Wolverine fan. Always have been, probably always will be. Not big into comics though. Had hundreds as a kid but I don't know what happened to them all. I suppose my mother tossed them or gave them away. As I recall though, nothing that was worth anything. Except for Superman #1. Just kidding.

    I finally found that orange eye in the scene with the jets, but I still cant seem to make out a face......do you mean face like human face, or animal-like?
  • geezer
    i wouldn't know about half the toys/merchandise you guys are talking about since im only 17 and experienced the comic book/advanced toy phase in the mid-90's. what i recall most was the primal rage books and action figures, i remember my favorite was the t-rex lookin' dude cuz you could press a button and he'd shoot a fireball. i do remember transformers beast wars (the best show ever made at the time). if i had money the first thing i would do is go to wal-mart and buy a new beast wars figure only to have it dismembered 4 days later. as far as heroes go, ill have to say spiderman has been my all-time favorite, hulk is second, and batman is 3rd. ever notice how batman is the only mainstream super-hero with no real super-power?

    Hey, i can't really make out a face either... i can see where you say the orange thing is an eye, but gimme some other points to focus on so i could maybe make it out better. Is it like one of those pictures you gotta stare at 4 a couple minute to see something?

The boat was hit by a f*cking big peace of metal, so they should be dead as well as the camera... Right ? Peace

What did you do in amsterdam (went to the hookers and took some drugs hehehe just kidding.) and did you like the soccer, because i know that in america they don't pay much attention to this game. i'd like to visit the states nowadays but the elections for president is going on at the moment. so... A bad time to visit your country. (busy times with lots of discussion) i'm following the news about this in my country, and they talk much about it (more than i thought) what do you gonna vote for... peace
  • bigleorocks
    Gary Busey for president!!!
  • pitchaxis
    Amsterdam was not what I expected. I was very beautiful in some parts and well down right dirty in others. I suppose all cities are like that. I was there with a music group called unlimited. We played Jazz and blues. The game was great you have a very good stadium. I played soccer in collage so I follow it. One of the few in the USA. By the way I liked Rotterdam a lot. I'm not into the party scene mutch so i stayed out of the "wild life" when I was there.
  • sjihttisthijs
    I also heard he's going to win the preselection... I think it would be awesome if a black man with changing ideas would become president of the united states. and as for hilary... The tears (yesterday when she half crying on TV) is all set-up go go Obama Peace
  • H.P.
    The Clintons are so phony.
  • ddot3
    baROCK THE VOTE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • H.P.
    ROCK BOMB FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!
  • bigleorocks
    so how many times are they gonna show this monster dude?
  • H.P.
    The monster attacks about 25mins in. Like I said he hides very well so you may have to watch the movie a handful of times. I'm pretty sure the discussion in here after the movie will go something like this...... Did you see it here!! Did you see it there!!! Did you see it anywhere!!! I mean come on if the monster is so huge and scary then why are people in the trailer so confused on where it is even hours after it's attacked the City. I'm pretty sure I have mentioned something like this before but I don't have time to scan the board.
  • bigleorocks
    i am gonna be pissed if it does not show it clearly...at least once
  • bigleorocks
    H.P...did you see beowulf?
  • H.P.
    Yeah that was a fun night cause I bootlegged the trailer for cloverfield cause that's when it premiered. In case you were wondering the reason I get to see movies before they come out is because my gf is an assistant manager at a movie theater. So I see em all before they come out sometimes a couple days before they are released. Plus I can get just about any movie poster.
  • bigleorocks
    i was impressed with the CGI done in that movie man...i thought it was great...hope there is another.
  • H.P.
    Have you seen Final Fantasy advent children or Spirits Within. Those movies blew me away. I hope they do G.I.JOE in cgi cause I don't see it working as a live action movie.
  • pitchaxis
    I'm with you on that H.P. G.I. Joe is most certainly right for CGI. I don't think that many of the cartoons from the 70's and 80's translate over to live action well. It may be that I just can't get past the visions of the toon characters. By the way here is a link to all of the Chaui Station video clips and a translation. Hope that is not a repost.

    yea dudeman I am a cloverfield fan on facebook

    New Pic on 1-18-08.com
  • Smoothjc1
    Sorry, Day late and a Dollar short .
  • geezer
    holy hell h.p, is that what the monster looks like foreal? if i didnt know any better i'd say the monster was just an oversized human...
  • Steve-O
    Im still having trouble seeing the human face (and to think I was good at 'I Spy') I see the eye thanks to your new pic HP, but I cant seem to make out any other features.....lol if I end up paying 11 dollars to see a human monster wearing shorts and a slusho tshirt destroying NYC, Ill call myself crazy or spending so much time on here
  • sjihttisthijs
    thnx for spoiling about the monster being an oversized mutated human geezer... ahum sigh...
  • H.P.
    I'm not confirming anything, so no worries sjihttisthijs. Since the movie is days away from release I won't be saying much of anything else.
  • stateofmind
    OH MY FREKIN GOD! if i dont see this movie i might kill myself, if im dying i dont care, i will see this movie, this might be the greatest movie of my life.
  • sjihttisthijs
    Thnx for taking account of the people that don't wanna know, now i can sweep the sweat of my forehead... pffff Since the movie premieres the 24th of januari in my country, I think i'm outta here at the 17th, before you all gonna talk about the movie afterwards, and will be back at the 25th to join you guys again.
  • H.P.
    THIS JUST IN!!!! My gf got new cloverfield posters at the theater!! She said they look the same but with the tag line "Something has found us". I can't wait to examine it up close. Seems silly they would just reprint the same poster with a tagline added. Seems kinda wasteful.
  • Mtthw
    Actually, H.P. , I think the tag line is "Some thing has found us", with a space between the Some and Thing. Minor difference, but it could be emphasizing the "Thing" aspect. The only reason I think this is correct is that I thought on one of the TV commercials I saw, it had this "Some thing has found us" line flash on the screen. Mtthw
  • H.P.
    I stand corrected matt. I checked the text message she sent me and you are right. Thanks for clearing that up.
  • geezer
    first of all, i didnt spoil the monster for you, since i was only stateing my opinion of what the image of the monster's face looks like. if you would have saw the pic that h.p posted you would have said same. i know about what the monster is as about as much as you do. second of all, stay after the credits are over, just in case...
  • geezer
    also, i can see another face in the poster. its in between the two damaged buildings, start down at the bottom between the two and work your way up, you'll begin to see a profile view of a nose, then eyes. you gotta find a large image of the poster on the web in order to see it (unless you own the poster)
  • geezer
    the face is transparent except for the outline, so it may be hard to make it out fully at first. its pretty weird
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    Just 9 more days. Single digits now baby!!
  • http://www.myspace.com/airshows BigTone
  • DDOT3
    Hey geezer, do you think you can post that picture, i tryed looking for the face and cant see it. I even went to the theatre 2day and looked at the movie stand to see if i could see it and still couln't
  • H.P.
    Yeah geez, I look at the poster practically everyday and I really don't see anything. It's all good though I'm sure Cloverfield is starting to take it's psychological toll on you. I mean who is to say I'm not seeing shit either but I do get chills everytime I look between those two buildings http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff273/HPCLOVERFIELD/?action=view&current=IMG_0038.jpg On a side note I been waiting six years for THIS movie to come out http://youtube.com/watch?v=ub-5zlJPnjM It finally comes out in March.
  • H.P.
    This is my gf's handy work. It will give you guys a better visualization. http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff273/HPCLOVERFIELD/?action=view&current=clov.jpg
  • bigleorocks
    h.p. i'm on a government computer wont let me open youtube...what movie have you been waiting for to come out for six yrs?
  • H.P.
    Christmas on Mars. It's a film directed by The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. It also stars the other two members and friends. The Lips are my favorite band. Not sure what kinda music you dabble in. I listen to mostly alternative and indie. I also like underground rap and country alternative/folk. The Lips are one of a kind and it's hard to put them into a category.
  • http://www.cluechaser.com Cowpattybill
    I don't know about that picture H.P. It kind of makes the monster look like something Disney might cook up. Kind of cutesy. Not at all "Piss your pants" kind of scary monster. I hope you're wrong.
  • Corey
    I hate to burst your enthusiastic bubble H.P. but there is no way in hell that is the face of the monster. Look at it's position in the photo. You've seen this thing topple buildings and peak at upwards of 20 stories of a building. Yet the evidence you're presenting would make it's height only maybe 5 stories tall and that's it, no body, all face. I know what you're going to suggest now, that it's hunched over or something but please understand, for several reasons beyond just that, it's not the face of the monster. It looks like a clown. If you look hard enough you'll only discover what your mind wants you to find. When I looked at that photo I saw a puppy lying down, but i'm not going to come on the board and say it's a giant puppy. I respect you a lot H.P. but this, along with you believing the monster is in the shot when they're talking about going into the middle of the city, is incorrect and you're digging too deep.
  • Corey
    The cloverfield monster really REVEALED! ;-) http://www.geocities.com/cb2k5/clov.jpg
  • dudeman1
    Ok, So the new TV Commercial rocks. I think its #14... anyway you see the monster for a quick moment as he gets blowed up. lol Now, with the poster, I see a face that is humanoid also, but not that anyone has poitned out. Im working on outlining it
  • dudeman1
    Yeah, the new commercial pisses me off too. Im deploying tomorrow godamnit. Here is what I think the face is, if it is supposed to be a face http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c62/reqless123/untitled.jpg
  • dudeman1
    Its like a side profile slightly angled. Now i kinda see a shoulder there too... hmmm
  • H.P.
    Just because the monster looks happy doesn't mean it won't still have huge teeth and red eyes like I previously mentioned. This monster may not be angry at all. It may have a childlike innocence. Abrams said we will be shocked and so does the trailer. I mean what could be more shocking than that. After all if slusho has anything to do with the monster wouldn't the monster be happy. P.S. There is no such thing as digging too deep when it comes to Cloverfield. If I believed there was such a thing I wouldn't be on here dude.
  • dudeman1
    I dont know about the happy thing, have you seen the new Jamie video lol
  • dudeman1
    And Matt Reeves says "It is a monster, it does kill people..." Can not comment if it is crablike lol. New matt reeves interview on cloverfieldclues
  • H.P.
    Yeah, I pissed my pants laughing. Good point though. There has to be some relevance to those vids. She could be having slusho withdrawls. I mean tedd did only give her a bit and if I know her she prob ate it all or gave some to friends.
  • dudeman1
    Jamie, what a snatch! I wish death upon her in the form of the statue of liberties head falling on her taxi, mortally impaling her. But, what are the chances of that?
  • H.P.
    LOL!!!! Good stuff!! That dance she does is really bad. I'm sure Teddy will do his own little dance once he hears of her death. I'm sure he was aiming for her ass anyway. Yes I do believe there is a chance Teddy could be the monster.
  • geezer
    i wish i could point out the face for you guys but my pc is still fucked and i still have to use my ps3 to get on the intrnet. and im not able to use the program that i normally use on my ps3. but i promise you its pretty easy. you have to zoom into the poster, make sure its still clear when you zoom in and not depixelized. the face takes up most of the space between the two damaged buildings. remember it's like a person's profile, a person with a big nose
  • H.P.
    SLUSHO ZOOM!!! Could that have been the subtle clue this whole time!
  • Steve-O
    on the cloverfield facebook group, i found a nice never-ending image of the monster http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/roguearthur/1199753827036.gif I can see an orange eye/red eye at one point, but the face gets blurred out, pretty cool
  • Mtthw
    Check this out. I don't remember seeing this before, but maybe someone posted it a long time ago. It speaks to what H.P. is saying about the "innocence" idea. I am not going to post the actual paragraph here, as some people might think it says too much (if it is even real) but someone please go to the link below (copy into browser) and read the one paragraph there. Let me know what you think. (Is this real, or BS? Please somebody take a look at it.) http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/archives/2008/01/cloerfield_baby.php Thanks, Mtthw
  • italianboy
    i was watching tv today and saw a brand trailer. i dont remember much but i do remember a brand new glimpse at the monster. it was literally a split second but it looked like the scene where they are huddled on the roof and the jets fly right by them, except it showed the monster bashing through some buildings. ive been searching the web for the trailer but have come up empty handed. not that it really matters much since the movie comes out next week.
  • http://www.myspace.com/decksplace Decker
    It's LOST! really, trust me, even if ya don't follow lost jj abrams is creative enough to make ya understand and love this movie and in doing so draw ya into the tv show! the 'monster' from lost is off the island and bringing the world to an end, where the island now remains as a 'noah's ark'... this movie is a flash foward from the show and will end with discoveries of the darma people and their plans of the island, which is located 32 miles from portland oregon! I've been there, gales creek, makes my head hurt to totally try and figure it all out but I'm on the right trail and you heard it here first! http://www.myspace.com/decksplace
  • H.P.
    I have fought with the Lost theory and sadly it does work. I don't want it to work but it certainly does. In my opinion I don't think they will just come out and say it is connected you might find out mid way of the new season of Lost. You could be sitting in your living room and realize it's all connected. Trust me after this movie there will be even more questions to be answered.
  • sjihttisthijs
    this one let's me to think of the hollow earth theory... don't know if anyone is familiar to this one, but it would sure connect the dots between lost and cloverfield
  • H.P.
    Wow!! That was prob one of the most intelligent posts to hit in here. Very good thinking. I have listened to radio shows about the theory. Do you listen to Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. He frequently has guests on the show to talk about the hollow earth theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_earth http://www.coasttocoastam.com
  • Decker
    I totally agree with the fact that questions will remain even at movie's end, connected to lost or not, that's just jj at his best! hollow earth, hmmmm... one more week people!
  • sjihttisthijs
    interesting site btw H.P.
  • sjihttisthijs
    I'm a conspiracy-theory guy, so i know a lot about these kinds of things. Maybe you could visit this website of a friend of mine at http://www.new-satis.nl (english) if your interested in these subjects H.P. And no i'm sorry, i don't listen to C2Cradio (but we have similar radiostations here in holland) peace
  • H.P.
    Yeah I love conspiracy stuff. I'm big into the whole colonies on the moon theories and the evidence of the seven miles high glass tower in the Sinus Medii region of the moon. Richard Hoagland is my hero. I also like Steve Grear and Alex Jones. Good stuff. Also check this vid out. Sorry leo I know you can't watch youtube so I apologize. http://youtube.com/watch?v=hbONIQfQmDU look close the guy is even missing fingers!!!!
  • sjihttisthijs
    Almost forgot, the faces on the poster are not the oly one, if you look at the poster at the left side of the right helicopter, you see a face seen from the rightside (the weird thing is... he's got a big nose) http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh117/sjihttisthijs/?action=view&current=Afbeelding8.png

  • ddot3
    good luck dudeman, stay safe over there!!!!!
  • geezer
    good luck brother dudeman, hope to hear from you in a few days. and i saw a sketch of the monster done by some guy that saw an advanced screening of cloverfield, and man is it hideous.
  • H.P.
    I was in my local comic store today and I brought up the subject of Cloverfield. I was told by the owner that he was told by someone way into Cloverfield that there were 3 different monsters in 3 different sizes. I didn't want to get into it with him but that would be something if it were true. Talk about coming out of left field and shocking people.
  • pitchaxis
    Hey i just got advancedscreening tickets for cloverfield 1/15/2008 at 7:30pm from hot topic. They have small posters in the store sorta hidden and if you ask about them they can give a limited number of tickets out. They also have cloverfield t shirts
  • Steve-O
    fuck man, I was going to go to the mall yesterday, w/e the advance screening would be in two days anyway..........and the 3 mosnter idea, I think it makes sense good luck dudeman
  • H.P.
    Beekeepers benefit from the clover bloom as clover is one of the main nectar sources for honeybees.

    found it i cant belive no 1 found this yet slusho.org the movie is a remake!!! w0000t im good
  • dudeman1
    Reporting from Kuwait, This 3 size idea is neat, while traveling I came up with a similar theory that maybe the monsters size changes. Like Giant to kinda not as giant...

    New Jamie & Teddy Video... Gives new meaning to the SoL head !!!!
  • geezer
    can you describe the video to me smoothjc? i cant view it
  • Smoothjc1
    Basically She doesn't say a word just looking at the cam with a pissed off look in her face, then she starts clipping off the teddy bears legs & arms with sizsorr's (spell check not working) then at last she clips off teddy head and brings it up to the cam then it goes blank. One the weirdest one's yet.. kind of freaky, such rage if she isn't one the monsters I will be bummed.
  • SB
    Long time reader; first time post... There's a new pic on 1-18-08.com. Hopefully, we'll get a new one each day this week leading up to Friday!
  • Steve
    There is some connection obviously between the japanese oil drilling platform being destroyed, and the oil tanker in the harbor outside manhattan being destroyed. Also, the end of the spanish language newscast had a logo and the words, "squeezing our planet dry since 1943" or something like that. I'd say the monster has a thirst for petroleum?
  • Smoothjc1
    Sure there is, GO TO Tidowave.com
  • ddot3
    Is that the monster thats pixeled out in the new pic on 1-18-08.com?
  • H.P.
    It would appear so. I don't see any other reason for doing it. Maybe the pic was stolen from tagruato since they did get away in the helicopter as seen in the news broadcast. They prob tampered with the photo. ONLY TWO MORE DAYS!!!!!I see it on the 17th ;)
  • dudeman1
    Only X more days for me! X can range anywhere from 2-365.

On the other hand the desert is cold, but i will be searching for the bootleg as soon as i find the haji shop that sells them... But I dont want to be lowered to a bootlegged cam version, SHIT.
