Although it's basically a good point, you are thinking like a 'geek' and not a movie producer or other relatively less techie sort of person. Although the creators of the site may know how easy it'd be and be willing to do it, they still have to take their information and storyline from the producers and writers for the film. Enter bureaucracy - and we all know how quickly that can move. Most running companies with ongoing production of products maintain departments for press interaction and IT including site maintenance. The collaborations between these are established and a mechanism created for coordination. One-off projects like movies rarely develop such a slick sustained operation.
Notice that the subsidiary Slusho got a website that was updated before the parent company site ever appeared. This is not usually how a company works.

I'm struggling to work out what could set off the monster at this point. At the moment I'm finding myself skeptical of everything I can think up.

The only link between the monster and Tagruato is the DSN. More specifically, it's that the monster and DSN are both situated at the bottom of the deep ocean.

If the monster is near NYC, one must ask why it took 4 months after the opening of the nearest (that isn't to say nearby) drilling platform to emerge- assuming, of course, that it is the drilling that angers the beast. It seems slightly suspect to me that it would attack a city instead of the source of the disturbance.

But maybe it doesn't like the harvesting of DSN. Suppose for a moment DSN was some embryonic form of the monster, and humans were tearing it up from its nest and eating it. Good reason to go berko, I suppose. But again, there isnt much Slusho in the USA, the drilling platform would be a more likely target.

I'm quietly hoping in the next week or so the Chuai statioon mysteriously disappears

Whats up with this?

Tagruato recognized as top Japanese corporation
When the Tokyo Business Quarterly releases their annual rankings of top Japanese corporations next month, there will be a new addition to the list: Tagruato.

Long ignored by the TBQ, Tagruato will finally join the ranks of such stalwarts as Sony, Canon, Fuji, and Mitsubishi. The list is based upon company size, profit margin for investors, past achievements, and long-term projections. The famed publication has become the unofficial standard for Nikkei pundits.

"Tagruato's growth in the last decade has been astronomical," said TBQ editor-in-chief Morio Hanari. "Profits, employee base, and expenditures have all grown exponentially in each and every year of Yoshida's reign. They are a powerhouse, and their addition to our list proves they must be reckoned with."

Hanari was referring to Tagruato CEO Ganu Yoshida, who took over the company in 1989. The company itself was founded in 1945, and its worldwide employee number recently topped ten thousand.

"This company pulled itself from the lowest dredges," explained Hanari. "Their spot on this list is in recognition of that achievement."

TBQ holds a yearly gala in celebration of the list, attended by top ranking officials from the chosen companies. Both Ganu and COO Danno Jo plan to attend, marking the partners' first known appearance together, public or otherwise.

"I do look forward to rubbing shoulders with my fellow business leaders," said Ganu of the event. "I plan to teach them a thing or two."

Yet----"COO Danno Jo, right hand man and cousin of CEO Ganu Yoshida, has been overseeing the revolutionary project."

Kinda weird to slip that in. Why haven't they been photographed together, are they the same person or something else weird, what's the reason to add this?

Assuming that email is valid (I've sent an enquiry to Tagruato and haven't received anything yet) then what it is telling us is this:

The work that Yoshida and Bold Futura do have allowed Paraffun to come up with 2 new uses of parafin wax. Perhaps these 2 new wax applications have allowed Tagruato to excavate even deeper to places "unreachable by machines" (weird way of phrasing that, imo)

I'm gathering wool threads here, please be patient.

Tagruato is forseeing expansion at a tremendous level in the coming year, but to do that, they need to expand into untapped markets. As well as the importation of oil, which is a set and regulated practice, with shipping routes and transports already in existance, they wish to expand their ever popular (in Japan) drink subsidiary Slusho!. But if they are bound by regulations concerning FDA approval, they would never be able to actually produce it here in the states. What if Slusho! has been available here in the states for some time, on a smaller basis. Marketing companies release products in small market campaigns all the time. But what if the Slusho! they've been offering is the non DSI type, and the product isn't doing as well as they'd hoped.

They need to push Slusho!, but their hands are tied because of the FDA limiting their exportation of an untested product or ingredient. SO, they bypass the FDA and try to sneak Slusho! ingredient x into the country inside of something they have complete control over. Wonderful, ParafFun lined oil drums, which just so happen to be sitting off-shore in New York Harbor on one of the most unseasonably hot days of the year. A day that should have been much colder. So, the Trojan Horse is in the harbor, so to speak, carrying hundreds of thousands of gallons of DSI, and the lining of said drums begin to lose their integrety because of the high temps.

And what if a living organism just happened to be along for the ride, something small, unobserved the whole time, and consuming the ultra-delicious ingredient. Something that is traditionally associated with sea travel and ships.

squeek, squeek.
