when u search BZBZ on yahoo it links u to a city search which gives the listing of a BZBZ service incorporated and the address is 401 BROADWAY NY NY

im new to this, so i havent read ALL of the posts but i have read the last 10 or so pages. I was looking at the HD trailer from apple and noticed that at about 1:31 just before the statue of liberty head hits the building...the building it hits i believe says ''401" in big letters then "Broadway" right below it. just throwing that out there, feel free to throw it back.

trust me, if it's in the trailer (and especially if it's a number) it has been noted and over analyzed by thousands of people for several days.

okay, sure... usually the first stage leads down a rabbit hole, i.e. trail... we don't have a trail yet- in case you haven't noticed there ain't a lot of movement here bucko- we are circling looking for a rabit hole that we all seem to believe just has to be here somewhere but we don't have the way yet and until we do and there is an actual puzzle that we solve that leads us to the next puzzle and on down the road into ARG land I am not convinced this isn't just a viral tease

Actually, I came into this after taking the blue pill...You see, this guy named Morpheus told me it would show me how far the rabbit hole leads, but I'm just feeling groggy now, I think he was just B$ing me and just gave me a Nyquil gelcap to shut me up.

If it isn't real (as in IG) it isn't evidence and I see 260+ pages of very precious little progress and a lot of wild "evidence" that isn't anything but coincidental.

Maybe this is going to be that ellusive way in to Cloverfield, this whatever it is, (remember grain of salt, slice of lime until we have it confirmed) and I sure hope so but stage 2 this ain't.

Someone just popped into the "SLUSHO! ZOOM" thread and said it, and we were all like huh? Until someone said that shell is a phrase for access into a site...

Ok, but how do you know what's IG? Like you said, there's 260+ pages of progress. Who's to say what is what?

I swear that looks like the type of lettering car makers use for VIN plates.

No there are 260+ pages of almost NO progress and lots of wild ZOMG look at this craziness... so we find some letters, plug them into our favorite search engine (are you using the algorithm?) and viola there is a business iwht those letters and there are numbers in there address that we have been seeing pop up repeatedly in JJ's cyber m@sturbatory junk none of us can take our eyes off of. So we're going to go off half cocked? I'm just making two points here-

1. we aren't far enough into anything to have reached a 2nd stage

and

2. before we all wet ourselves in our excitement, let's do our research on this and see what possible connections there might be.

Well stated. But all I'm saying, no one knows for sure what is right and wrong. This is why everyone is putting up these..umm, "ZOMG" half baked therios and evidence. I can see where your coming from though. Things can be figured out pretty quick when you have a million..Well, I don't know if it's a million or not other people doing the same thing we are. But I believe the next stage is when we get the second trailer to the movie coming out very soon. Agree?

Nope still don't agree that a second trail means we've hit a second stage of this potential ARG, not in and of itself.

If by then several other factors are in play including but not limited to:

1. having a trail that we are actually following, i.e. we're going somewhere
2. there is a plot developing and the release of the second trailer makes a significant change to our understanding of the plot and the game
3. a new trailer introduces new characters or modes of play

Then perhaps I would agree that the second trailer marks the start of a second stage

If these factors have not appeared then perhaps trailer 2 will lead us down said rabbit hole- but if not then that will be the point that I say this is just a viral cirle jerk.

At this point no matter how badly I want this to be an ARG, so far we only have evidence that we are seeing some viral marketing stuff that is making us crazy wanting more.

EDIT: and I disagree that we can't know for sure what is "right and what is wrong" -and by that I assume you mean what is InGame and what is OutOfGame- there are a lot of things that can be ruled out VERY fast- so fast in fact that the only legitimate reason to post them is to say 'hey I headed down this way, dead end, don't bother'.

It's whatever. We both have different points and views on the situation at hand. But we will see the outcomes down the road.
