this is fucking retarded already. i dont get on the net much and im sorry that i dont know how much a fucking movie means to you that you have to jump down my throat when im trying to give you guys some info. i havent read all the pages but there were some things i wanna address:

*i never said the fucking monster was a minotaur. this is what the girl in the scene with me was instructed to say. do i know if theyll overdub it with something else or if the goddamn monster is a minotaur? no! this is what she was told to say.
*i dont know why we were shot with a dolly camera instead of a hi-8 if the movie is supposed to be done blair witch style from beginning to end. i dont fucking know. your guess is as good as mine.
*yes im a member of sag and yes extras are eligible. for supposed internet geniuses who were bitching at me for not knowing much about the film industry you sure fumbled that one!
*someone i saw on here implied that i said i was given access to more than i stated. i dont know how you got this from what i said. no i wasnt given access to anything. i asked very few questions about the movie and the ones i did ask werent answered because the movie is being kept secretive. i did my scenes, then was invited to the scene under the tunnel like some of the other extras were and went home.
*the pay was nice. i probably earned more money for being an extra on this film than any other ive done.

some of you guys are just plain fucking stupid. to the ones who replied respectfully thanks. to the ones who just bashed me repeatedly get some fucking class. theres a reason why most of you guys are considered losers by the outside world - you set a bad example!
i didnt come here trying to say i had answers to everything related to the movie. i described a scene i was in. thats it. case closed. how im trying to mislead you guys into believing anything is beyond me. 'is that a minotaur?' is a fucking line. if it sounds stupid, cool. go bitch at the writers about that. i didnt write the fucking thing.
its nice to see how some people who are familiar with the film industry treated me with some class and posted cold hard facts. in this weird fucked up internet cyber virgin world its soooo easy for someone who knows nothing about what theyre talking about to try and discredit someone. theyre among their kind and the others act like little lapdogs and the person who actually knows something looks stupid to a crowd of disrespectful losers. i appreciate that you posted facts. thanks!
this will be my last post. i was trying to do something nice for you guys but fuck it. enjoy the movie.

At the risk of pissing you off more, the whole "class" theme you had going didn't quite reflect in what you just wrote.

I can see you're ticked off, but what did you expect by posting this here? Obviously some people are going to question you, after all, not in many movies would an extra be invited to see an additional scene (as in, not in a movie as secretive as so).

I can only say that in retrospect, I see no clues that you offer us whatsoever considering the minotaur is likely to be overdubbed. However, even if it doesn't really help us, I'm surprised you were willing to post this since the makers are obviously following this forum.

You could get sued for releasing this information depending on what was in your contract.

Didn't she say on several different occasions that she doesn't do the whole message board thing? Given that fact which she repeatedly reminded us of, I'm sure she wasn't expecting much at all.

It wasn't so much that you guys refuted her post. It's that many of you did so in an insulting manner which wasn't called for whatsoever, like konamouse said.

She was invited to a scene which, as the youtube leaks show, doesn't give away much of anything. You make it sound like she was invited to the CGI house where the monster is being animated and had a wet t-shirt contest with Jamie involving several gallons of Slusho!.

Look, I don't believe the monster will be a goddamn minotaur. I'm sure Bad Robot would handle it well and sell me on the idea, but the whole concept sounds goofy. If this scene she was in is real, I don't doubt it'll be dubbed over or it will skip to the next frame all together which is more probable.

The only reason I entertain her posts is because she's shown no signs of a typical gamejacker, in that she didn't post anything concrete that would give anything about the film away. (another reason why she's not liable for being sued. I have a background in law, she didn't step out of line whatsoever.)

And when someone feels as though they've been personally insulted, expect them to show the same attitude in return. She didn't get insulting all throughout the thread, but everyone has their boiling points. When someone isn't used to a message board such as this, it isn't a shock that they'd be defensive. She handled herself with class until she reached her limit. In the end, you guys are insulting someone because you're taking a movie way, way too seriously.

Kona and Ina have nailed it. DeniseB probably knows nothing about ARGs except for what the media has put out there. She comes here to post about being involved and is immediately attacked. A few simple questions in a conversation like style COULD have yielded so much more. To some on here, everything is a conspiracy, everyone is a liar and no one deserves any respect. Pretty sad. Sorry DeniseB - I hope your experience on the film was rewarding beyond money and wish you the best in the future.

Let's face it, we've had our share of BS and "gamejacks" up to this point... At this point, if J.J. himself stood in downtown Hollywood and yelled the answers we seek at the top of his lungs, we still wouldn't believe him and would probably badger him quite a bit.

More truth than I could ever say.

Personally I think that when the Movie comes out, people will think its not even the real movie. Noone believes anything these days, I remember another instance where info was leaked in a way similar to this and noone believed it, then after months and months of waiting it turned out to be true.

After that I've taught myself to not be so tough on the people- They're trying to help us and we're just telling them that they're liars.

What if someone told us that we're liars because the Slusho! website isn't real?(Even know it is)

Hey Denise,

I'm just a casual reader type here. But you've posted enough info for someone to track you down on IMDB.

You might want to mods here to remove it as you may be in breach of contract for spilling some beans about the movie.

Drinking the DeniseB koolaid

Havn't been on in awhile but i read all the posts, her rant and rave about others "putting her down" came out of no where. This was probably planned out especially for the fact that she states this will be her last post. Anything she has said is most likely irrelevant, she didn't help us much anyway. Some fell into her trap quite easily to point where you felt sorry for her...that's funny.

If you expect us to believe that the company that has given us absolutely squat as far as details on the movie is going to let a lowly extra overhear something so key to what they're trying to hide (the identity,description of the monster)

Didnt you sign an NDA? Or do you really expect us to believe that of the 10 seconds you were in the movie, it is revealed in your very scene, a clue to what the monster is? Then you happen to be invited to one of the only scenes that can be corroborated by pictures.

"Yah, sorry, we cant answer any of your questions about the movie, it's a big secret ya know?, you dont have to sign a non-disclosure agreement but yah, we'll let you overhear the big surprise we're trying to hide from everyone and HEY, come on down to this great scene we're filming under the bridge, all extras are welcome to watch, because we know you wont run to an internet forum or anything.......oh wait."

I'm not skeptical. I straight up dont believe you, you are completely full of shit, I have no gratitude for you coming to this forum with your "inside information"

I rarely post unless I feel I have something constructive to add. I've been following this from the day the trailer was released and only recently have felt that I have a strong enough grasp on the situation where I feel my voice isnt adding anything useless.

Lately, what I feel is "constructive" is helping divert the forums attention away from the flab.

So much useless crap is posted. I liked it better when there were just a small group of people using intelligent reasoning while looking for logical progression.

Once this thing went "mainstream" so much irrelevant and asinine "information" has been posted (and reposted), it's just staggering to wade through all the crap.

So yah, I'm kind of sick of it.

At this point the most amusing thing is watching some of you refer to a person named 'Denise' as 'he'. What crazy goddamn country do you come from where males are given the name 'Denise'? Laughing
