Big Brother in the IT department has ion his infinite wisdom blocked access to this page- can you sum it up?

Posted by someone in the IMDB forums, since you have to register there...

Quote:

If you look at the trailer you can see the number 3 being referenced to everywhere. The 63 degrees on the news channel, The 12:36, the 2004 ACE, numbers that are all dividable by 3.

Last, but not least, you hear the thundering monster sound three times, each sound accompanied by a different event.

Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness"

So what in biblical mythology has connections to the slew of references in the trailer? The three great monsters.

In Jewish belief, Behemoth is the primal unconquerable monster of the land, as Leviathan is the primal monster of the waters of the sea and Ziz the primordial monster of the sky.

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).

Not convinced?

The guy who says "maybe we can get a better view from the roof" has the Slusho logo on his shirt. Slusho is a classic J.J. Abrams icon, and it has appeared in both Alias and Lost, which are his shows.

Slusho.jp has, by now, been confirmed as a part of the viral marketing campaign revolving around 1-18-08. Japan. Strangely enough, the character Rob, who is present in the trailer, was gonna fly to Japan a day after that party and the monster events.

Let's have a look around on that site. Not all pages are accessible. But there is an odd feature about the pages that are available. The main page background is on land, the Downloads page background is on air, and the History page background is on sea.

Furthermore, the six buttons on the main page cause popups of various animals, namely a Horse, a Whale and a Bird. Behemoth, Leviathan, Ziz.

GG, J.J. Abrams.

Quite frankly, that's the most reasonable explanation I've heard so far.

I hinted at the Leviathan in a previous blog post, but I admit I didn't pursue it as much as this person did.

Now that I think of it, let's consider the roars...

FIRST ROAR (the party interruption): Very low pitch, three distinct tones (first one apparently an inhale), causes the earthquake. If you go based on the above, this can be attributed to the Behemoth, which is depicted as a giant ox.

SECOND ROAR (on the roof): There is no earthquake; all you see is fire. This can go with the Leviathan, which is sea based and capable of breathing fire.

THIRD ROAR (on the street): This one I haven't been able to analyze along with the video because of system problems, but shortly after the roar, before the SOL hits the first building, you hear a "whoosh, whoosh..." sound. I refuse to believe that the SOL makes that sound spinning through the air, as it doesn't really have anything to cause the kind of air resistance needed for such a powerful sound. When I analyzed it two days ago, it sounded to me similar to the flapping of wings... like Ziz.

Maybe?

Do you mean there's a 1-800 number you can call and hear L, B and Z say, "We can't come to the phone right now, we're out destroying New York"?

Or do you mean it's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?

New York Post article
possible spoiler

New York Post reports today some information about Abrams and crew filming on Coney Island (discounting claims that it's all filmed in LA). Also has a possible spoiler from an anonymous source. Sorry if someone already covered this:

Agreed.. we've already heard that the beginning of the movie finds a clean up crew/emergency services cleaning up the site of the "incident". If this were biblical...me thinks there would be no clean up crew... only Heaven on Earth (lol)...The End Times.... or something else... I don't think there are clean up crews for the Apocalypse.... but that's just me

This is something that will be just that..an incident... something will come...destroy some sruff and then it will go way, disappear or get it's ass kicked

The whooshes could be caused by air flow through the neck hole of the statues head. Two rotations before it hits would cause the two whooshes.

"It's about an alien that wipes out all of New York City," says one of the owners, who wants to remain anonymous. "The footage is taken the day before everyone dies. A bunch of kids come to Coney Island with a video camera. The movie is a flashback to that day."

I'm sure they'd tell the owner what the movie was about, knowing that the owner would then tell anybody who asked, instead of feeding them some B$ story.

Quote:

Weird clues such as an imp or a demon can be seen between the faces of two girls. The No. 9 is weirdly placed on a woman's chest in one of the party pictures. Another features people walking through a white cloud of smoke with their noses and mouths covered.

.

Aka, a streetlight. A Tshirt logo, and building debris through which a normal person would hold the mouths and noses covered.

Unless you like breathing dust.

Seriously, if it's just another alien movie, I'll be sad. It just seems like it's gonna be ... more.
