Rob drinking Slusho
Party pic

Ok. I've been thinking about the party pic- a lot of people seem to think it's Rob being "force fed" Slusho. I see Rob flexing his right arm(left of the pic), and being held up by his left. Let's say he IS being force fed it. So what? Does Rob's drinking Slusho what we can figure a decent amount of time before hell broke loose have anything to do with said hell breaking loose? Are we looking too much at the obvious? I mean, we've picked it apart, too... we're missing something, and I get this feeling when we find it, there will be a nationwide chorus of "D'oh!"s.

Yeah but how many people wear a tux to an off broadway show?

I think they're coming from a party. You don't just throw a guy in a tux into a shot just to add flavor to a crowd scene. And I know I've seen this guy with speaking parts in movies... I just can't for the life of me remember where.

He'll be in other scenes in the movie... I'll wager.

The other guy just looks odd...


Looks to me like he is changing.... into something not quite human...

looks almost primeval.

What if high quantities of slusho cause an hallucinogenic effect that the consumer can externalise.... he imagines it...it comes to pass...

a scenario ...party ... major slusho... rob going to Japan... talks about bad manga comics and godzilla type movies... comes up with the ultimate scary monster " a bit like godzilla, but bigger claws.... teeth like geigers alien... shapeshifts like robert partricks terminator... it infects people and turns them into zombies... like the worms in slither...

He has another glass of slusho...his seventh... and seven shades of do do start to happen in downtown Manhattan... and the "Monstrous" beast is right outta Robs imagination.. cue slightly guilty look on Rob's faces 30 minutes later.... on a roof with a view

A hallucinogen. Good thought- but at the same time, that'd mean that the camera man would have to have also consumed very large quantities of Slusho. And anything that can be hallucinogenic enough to make them see all of this- I don't think they'd be too concerned with keeping the camera focused in. And, that'd also mean that the implication is on that the "viewers" of the tape would have to be under the control of this hallucinogen as well. Right? I'm just going to try to look at every possible angle, and while I'm not dismissing your idea, I'm just taking it with a grain of salt.

Side thought- would anything change other than the obvious if the photo time stamps were in Tokyo time(-10 hrs)?

Scared girls- 12:36 NY / 2:36 PM JP time
Party scene- 12:01 NY / 2:01 PM JP
White scene- 12:48 NY / 2:48 PM JP
Soldier- 1:24 AM NY / 3:24 PM JP

Anything? I started to think IP address, then realized it's be
236.201.248.324
Could it be combination IP/port or IP/URL(i.e. 236.201.248.32/4)?

Reread Tuscan's first line again ...

What I think Tuscan is saying is that is effect of Slusho makes "imanginings" real.

Like in Ghostbusters there the Sta-puf Marshmellow Man is mage to attack the city. .... Rob just "thought" of something really really mean.

Touche. I just noticed that, and started to edit myself. Thanks for the point out.

WARNING: The following is ofcourse, pure speculation. Please, don't give me any crap about how crappy my theory sounds or whatever. Also, if any of this has been stated before, I'm sorry, after page 7, I was just like Meh, and decided to post my opinion....So without anything further, here I go!



Hey there, created an account to help clear up a few things.


OK, am I going crazy, or does near a certain part of the trailer(literally seconds before the Monster attacks) does a woman say "The Myth"?


At first, I thought I was just going nuts because I was listening to a sample audio clip that tried to get the same fact out to everyone else(that the words "The Myth" were heard).

I thought it was doctored in, because out of all the dialouge in the trailer, it's the clearest and most audible, which is ironic.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=YzfNQkwwT3c

This is a high quality version of the trailer.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dOsLD_KlQrw&mode=related&search=

This a is a much lower quality trailer, as it was taken with a cell phone(obviously you can see this because of the person moving around in the second video.)

At 0:39 for the first movie, you hear it. At 0:29 for the second you hear it.

The reason I ask this, is because that reading the first few pages, I was shocked to see that it wasn't brought up! Also, some things to note from this year's Comic Con...Abrams basically said he wanted to make an American like Godzilla...but he used the word "Hero" in the description as well...

If this movie is successful, will we be seeing this monster come back in a much more docile form to attack even more frightening foes?

My thoughts on the links to Slusho and the movie is...well, maybe Rob works for the Slusho company based in America. It is stated that he is going to Japan, so that maybe the connection between the two. Perhaps he got a premotion? From the looks of it, the place seems as if he's Japanese stuff.

Speaking of a point I brought up earlier...after listening to the first roar, it almost sounded as if the beast was simply announcing it's presence, not meaning any harm what so ever. In the trailer, once they get on the roof, you can hear Police sirens more audibly. Perhaps the attack that was brought on by the beast was simply self defense? I know, it's crazy, but alot of bad things have happened because of Human error. I mean, what would you do in that situation? If you have a weapon, and you see a monster that looks....well, fucking scary(sorry, lack of a better term), you're probably going to test to see if you can kill it and save yourself.

The roars following the roar after the first one almost seem as if the beast is in pain, or outraged.

I already know that The Parasite site is fake, but it seems as if that's the term being losely thrown around still for the monster. After watching the trailer, the meteorite like objects flying towards them break apart almost instantly in the air and fly back down at the civillians. If it's a entity made of fire, maybe it's...a-sexually reproducing(Budding=Meteors)?

My thoughts on the mysterious pics:

Party Pic:
The only thing I see here is the creepy chick. The way her face looks is TOO perfect for a sinister feeling to just be a picture-esque mistake. Perhaps the words "The Myth" and this mystery woman play a bigger part in the going on's of the movie. Maybe SHE's the one who says "The Myth".

The WTFISTHATZOOMEDCHICKS pic:
I got nothing. Nothing seems out of the ordinary here. However, when someone put the faces together, they seemed almost ENTIRELY alike, which really puzzles me. The phenomenon in the back is simply singed hair with a lamp post in the back.

The SMOKEITUP, HOMEY! pic:
From their clothing, the only people I see who are from the party are the woman who is holding a bag(the most visible out of all the figures). She can be seen in the trailer behind the rather stacked woman dancing early in the trailer...damn, that was a nice ra--

*ahem*

Anyways, perhaps the guy engulfed in smoke is the camera holder in the trailer, and just went inside the smoke to see what was going on.

The YOULOOKINGATME, FOOL? pic:
I havn't studied this pic as much as the others, mainly because it just looks so....BLAH compared to the other three.

Some of these opinions are kind of un-founded, and most of the them are just me looking for possible outcomes. Don't shoot me down entirely, and please, be nice(gentle, DSmile


EDIT: sorry, just read the statement from Abrams. Apparently, he didn't use the word Hero, but it was to my knowledge that he did. I forgot JUST where I read it, which sucks. Here's the statement I found off a blog site

I want a monster movie, I've wanted one for so long. I was in Japan with my son and all he wanted to do is go to toy stores. And we saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, we need our own monster, and not King Kong, King Kong's adorable. I wanted something that was just insane and intense. It's almost done shooting and I watch dailies and I'm more excited for them than the trailer, which has had an overwhelming response. We have 6 months before this comes out. We're going to have a whole bunch of things, a whole bunch more." He said a full trailer, more clips, full posters, and much more will be coming out over the next 6 monts, including the name, which he will NOT reveal today.

"You think we'd call it Monstrous? No…"

So, the film is NOT a Godzilla movie, it is an original monster movie, and it is NOT called Monstrous!

That's *actually* not a bad thought. Leads me to wonder, however, WTF kind of interest a donkey has in an oven mitt, and a fish in cheese(unless he's destined to be a Filet-O-Fish... mmmm, processed fake seafood...), you know? Not a bad idea. Can anyone run with this?

What time of day did the pics show up on the 1-18-08.com website? Seems like the last one got posted around 4 or 5 pm Eastern time. Trying to see if maybe there's a pattern of some kind.

Japan time (all one time zone ) is 14 hours ahead of New York (or 13 during daylight savings) NOT 10.

Recalculate, but really I think any puzzles will not be so ridiculously complicated, unless these are the same people who did the insanely complex and stupid "game" (which also required some losers to actually SHOW UP at a "party" in a certain city to get the "clues" which, in the end, had no real relvance to the movie anyway) for Spielberg's A.I. (remember "Cloudminders"?)
That was my first experience with this kind of pre-movie game hype. And it taught me one thing, puting more than 5 minutes effort into this kind of thing is a waste, except as a laugh, because every puzzle is just as stupid as the person who created it. The only puzzle-ey thing that I've seen out of all of this Slusho BS that makes any sense at all is the anagram "A toxic industry's waste" from "You can't drink just six".. which means "6" has no meaning at all except that it helped make the anagram work because they needed a word withan "x" in it, "six".

You people should all be trying anagrams, not numerology.
"Fresh for you" can become "horse of fury".. seems silly, except there's a horse on the slusho site

I wonder if any of the lines in the trailer, the SPOKEN stuff, is an anagram.. "I'm/He's like your main guy" and such.

If all these numbers REALLY are supposed to "have meaning" I will deliberately NOT see this movie out of pure spite, because numbers can be manipulated in so many ways, there are so many patterns, and infinite combinations of patterns, odds are nobody will stumble on the intent of the puzzlemaker. Thus the puzzlemaker is just a jerk who is teasing us, or an idiot who honestly thinks that his puzzle is easy, at least in his mind. Trying to think like a dude who made the puzzle reminds me of a quote.

"It gives me a headache just thinking down to your level."

Lol, it's the same times- I'd done 00:01-10 hrs, gotten 14:01. As luck would have it- 00:01 + 14 is still 14:01, 2:01 PM

5th pic up now.
The flash works differently on the site now. Pics don't pop to the front when you click on them, you have to slide them out from under and then on top. Also, has the page title changed? I just noticed it's "--" now.

The 5th pic appears to show the guy who took the video in the trailer I'm guessing. Notice the 'HD' on the gray item above his head, most likely the LCD from the camera.
