Tai aka GenghisK™ [look at my profile&blog]

Hey there, Rob. How is life on your end of the world?



Clever myspacers...


WHOA - that's pretty freakin' major!

The above quote is a comment on Rob's myspace, so the PM's or marketers decided to put it up (or, a third possibility - some intern did it by mistake). As you can see, it says in the name "look at my profile & blog" - so, the PM's (or whoever) are at least aware that we will go right to her page, so for all practical purposes we can probably say that they want us to go there.

On that page, there's a ton of Cloverfield/1-18-08 stuff - right out there in front. Doesn't that shatter the illusion? Does this mean they are telling us it's not an ARG, but just marketing?

The damn movie trailer is right on the Tai aka GenghisK myspace page!!!

And, in the blog section it expressly acknowledges the myspace pages as fake and as part of the movie. Not that we ever thought otherwise, but...

WTF?!

Someone who get's responses from Rob should message him and say something like, "boy, you and your friends sure look a hell of a lot like the people in that trailer on Tai aka GenghisK's myspace page."

I'm sure other people who's comments have been posted have cloverfield stuff in their myspace pages, but it's so prominent on the Tai aka GenghisK page, and the way it's posted on Rob's comments essentially tells us to go and look at it.

Well, yeah, but...

Tai is definitely a fanchick...this isn't the first time I've seen her comments posted. They're on several of the pages. So I strongly doubt she's part of JJ and Company.

But, yeah, in the "old days," the PMs were so "strict" that they even deleted comments from people whose profiles contained references to the movie.

I think it just shows that the PMs are throwing in the towel on that rule: they realize it's going to be almost impossible to get comments from anyone who *doesn't* have at least a few fan-references to 1-18-08.

I hear ya'. And, yeah, Tai is definitely just a fan - no doubt. It's just so damn sloppy! For shame, marketing people...

Ignore this if already posted.
Jamies' myspace layout is Martini
http://hotprofileplus.com/myspace-layouts/view.php?id=L517430049

So who ever made it put "MARTINI" in the search and got this.
Also "I'm a Jack girl" picture is found in the alcohol section.

So when making this page their first thoughts for Jamie were Martini and alcohol and thats' what they wanted portrayed.

Not something we don't already know but if you want to copy her page -- there it is.

Good find, Red Walrus! I think it confirms that Jamie's "theme" is: booze, hootch, sauce, etc.

So, she's a glutton when it comes to consuming (alcoholic) beverages. Hurm...

Glutton - are you implying the 7 Deadly Sins?

I don't think its hitting on the deadly sins, it would just be getting way too ridiculous. I think its just trying to give personality to the characters. Maybe give something to relate to them. Jaime is obviously supposed to be the ditzy blond, party chick. She's not gluttonous by any means, she is just that typical party girl.

Only thing that bothers me is that we know more about a side character like jaime, rather than more about rob, who seems to be a big deal...

Some have (wisely, I think) contemplated that we're learning so much about Jamie because she's going to bite it pretty early in the movie, so this is all to give her some backstory and develop her character in a way that 10 min of screen time probably can't do, so that when she dies, the unfiction-type audience is already emotionally invested. Or that's the plan, anyways -whether they can add dimension to a skanky party girl remains to be seen. It's a great idea, in theory, but I hope they're planning on doing more than what we've seen so far, since she still seems pretty vapid and uninteresting to me (not to mention a well-worn horror movie sterotype).

In contrast, it seems likely that characters like Rob and (I'm guessing) Beth will be around for a while in the movie, so we're not learning a ton about them beforehand. Either they don't die and there's no need to convince us to care about them, since viewers will naturally relate to the "main" characters in any respectable horror movie, or they die so late in the movie that the script has a chance to sufficiently develop their characters. This is my guess, anyways. I definitely agree with you that Rob, supposedly the main character, has given us the least amount of info to work with.

Just for fun:

From Wiki: Luxuria (extravagance, later lust), Gula (gluttony), Avaritia (greed), Acedia (sloth), Ira (wrath, more commonly known as anger), Invidia (envy), and Superbia (pride). Each of the seven deadly sins has an opposite among the corresponding seven holy virtues (sometimes also referred to as the contrary virtues). In parallel order to the sins they oppose, the seven holy virtues are chastity, abstinence, temperance, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.


JJ Hawkins "Hawk" = Sloth
Jamie Lascano = Lust

I agree it is ridiculous, but who knows the basis for a writers' ideas.

LenaDia = Pride "I'm the next big thing in fashion design, and it's just a matter of time before the rest of the world figures that out" and the High Fashion thing.

Not much info here other than a few vague comments, but these appear to be the personal myspace pages of a couple of the actors. Please don't harass them using this info, since there's no reason to think that they are IG at all, this is for informational purposes only:

Probaly wrong, but ill make a stretch here. Beth could be anger, for the sole reason that she has the word rage right on her myspace. (in that music video)

Hey, good enough for this line of silly speculation. So be it:

JJ Hawkins "Hawk" = Sloth
Jamie Lascano = Lust
LenaDia = Pride "I'm the next big thing in fashion design, and it's just a matter of time before the rest of the world figures that out" and the High Fashion thing.
Beth = Anger, for the sole reason that she has the word rage right on her myspace. (in that music video)
