Wow this chick is straight up whacked... She's been with Teddy for a short time, right? And she's already saying she loves him??? I would be freaked out too if I were Teddy... Haha.

Looks as if we will almost def. get a 5th video.....

http://www.jamieandteddy.com/#5.mov

Goes right back to the page with the picture of the bears, but looks like they might already have all the pages ready for the number of vids we will actually get, just replace whats there now with the video once they are ready to release. Doesn't really lead anywhere, just an observation that there are more videos to come

each one of the videos has been named differently so far....

http://www.jamieandteddy.com/mynumber1vid.mov
http://www.jamieandteddy.com/myvideo2.mov
http://www.jamieandteddy.com/video3.mov
http://www.jamieandteddy.com/number4.mov

I was just trying different things to see if it was possibly uploaded but not yet linked and thought it was interesting that was actual page, other combinations I just got "page cannot be found"

Naming convention is goofy
To prevent predictions I guess? Or is it for "realism"

DougBThree wrote:
One other unrelated note: I noticed that all three videos use different naming conventions:

mynumber1vid.mov
myvideo2.mov
video3.mov

Rather than just changing the number, the whole name is a little different for each one. Could it be that other videos are already loaded on the site, and the quirky naming convention is an effort to keep us from finding them until the link page is updated? Or is someone able to see all the resources loaded on the site and verify these are the only 3 out there right now?

Actually that doesn't show anything. Your link is merely looking for a named anchor on the main page, in this case "5.mov" which doesn't exist, so it gets ignored and takes you to the top of the page. If there were a named anchor on the page like this:

<a name="5.mov"

then it would try to jump to that link. You could put anything after the # sign and it would behave the same on this page, like
http://www.jamieandteddy.com/#whatever

Anyway, I'm not saying there won't be a fifth; I think that we should see more. I'm just pointing out that this doesn't provide any evidence.

Yeah, nothing fancy.


If it is "The Glass Helmets" and not 'Fibreglass Helmets' than given how so far the songs in the MySpace pages have been real tunes from real bands... given how nothing's been found from "The Glass Helmets" they may be, as Dr. Awkward suggested, be a part of the Cloverfield universe rather than the real world.

As always though, the video offers few answers and provokes more questions.


I come up with a Final Fantasy reference:

One thing I tried out that someone else might want to pursue is Norweigion or icelandic metal bands. Also speil hjelm is glass helmet in norwegion. Nothing panned out. The Glass Helmets sounds like typical heavy metal band names using Hard/soft good/bad or a variant of that-- Led Zeppelin - Def Leppard - Iron Butterfly - Black Sabbath - Iron Maiden - Judas Priest - etc.

Oops Embarassed

Sorry bout that, I don't know much about html and such so I didnt realize the # thing would do that. Doh, just thought it might have been a placeholder type deal until the actual video was uploaded. Sorry for the confusion.

I do get the feeling 'the cause' is indeed a clue, but perhaps not something leading to a site - just an idea of what Teddy is doing ( like "hey guys, he's NOT working for Tagruato, get it?!" ).

The Glass Helmets may also be a figure of speech, although it seems as likely to me to be a totally fictitious name they came up with to not have to worry about royalties or permissions.

On a much lighter note...
[HUMOR]
It would seem that maybe Abrams is learning that things on the internet need to go faster so he gave in and shoved us something new. The video does almost look to amateurish, especially that cheesy strip tease. This does prove something though - Abrams has learned that the internet is for porn.
Next he'll discover Rule 34 and we'll have the Slusho bots in a 'flavor orgy', underwater donkeys molesting jellyfish (why do you think that little purple sucker looks so surprised?), and heaven knows what with those little people on the Slusho site.

That striptease was disappointing. I can't believe she paid money to learn how to sway back and forth, ruffle the hair up a little and take off clothes. I know how to do that, and I didn't even take a class...

I find it interesting that she paused before saying "The Glass Helmets" as well; I would say more than the 'saving the world' thing came into play in their last conversation - maybe the hermaphrodite in her bed in video #3? Because the pause seems to suggest she wants to start over - and is trying to win him over again by bringing up things he likes that she remembers, to show she still cares.

Or something.

Many good examples of oxymoronic names, but two are not quite so purely symbolic.
The iron maiden is a very real torture device.

A 'black sabbath' is something of a paraphrasal of Black Mass.

Edit: Fixing stupid inability of phpBB to handle parentheses in URLs by encoding them.
