If they were doing things realistically wouldn't it take time to put the video up after she opens it?


If she was gonna open it up at 12:00 that means she has already had 3 hours to open it and put up a video. So pretty much she is not gonna open it till she wakes up.

hi all, been into cloverfield since the teaser, this is my first time on uf, so no i am not a lurker or a bad robot plant, just a guy with some ideas who just found a place to express them.

Ok so i have 2 theories for the gift, both of which kinda revolve around the idea that teddy is part of tidowavea(hell maybe even le bandit vert himself) and they have found some incriminating evidence on tagruato, leading up to a huge event that tidowave will be doing on 12/9 that could lead to the eventual capture or killing of teddy, thus this is his way of keeping the evidence safe.
1. my first theory is pretty much lame and straightforward it is just a video/url with all the info telling her what is going to happen and that if he doesn't come back that she should go to the authorities.
2. my second one is that it will just be a good old fanshioned point and click digital camera, that she will be kinda dissappointed with, due to all the lead up and hype she would be disappointed that it is just a normal gift. Until 1/17/08 when she is at rob's going away party and finds out that there is a hidden folder on the memory card that came with the camera that has pics of horrible tagrauto atrocities and then she leaves early to go and try to get the pics in the hands of someone who can do something about it, thus the reason that she is not really seen at the party.

just a couple of my thoughts, but i guess we will find out soon enough, it is currently 5:46 am in NYC and nothing has been posted yet, as well teddyhanssen.com is still empty i will be checking j&t.com sporatically for the next 4.5 hours or so since i am working a graveyard and have nearly unlimited access to dick around on the net. ( i know, i know, with all this talk about bukkake berry i probably shouldn't have used the term dick around. I'm sorry.)

Probably the most interesting thing on the 12/9 subject I've heard.

appreciate the compliment, but something else i just realized. (ok get ready for some bad humor followed up by a little actually decent logical thoughts to back up my above theories) So in the 1st vid jamie tells teddy not to show the videos to anyone and that if they end up on the net she will kill him, so in the present is a paper with a url on it to the youtube videos, and then on 1/17/08 jamie gets a call while she is at the party from her lawyer telling her that teddy has put out the newest video j&T 8 the sex tape, "One Night in Cloverfield, BUKAKKE BERRY BLAST LOVE" thus she goes insane and becomes the monster.

ok people what did you expect i am at work and have been up for about 22 hours straight now. but you will now get some serious insights that i just noticed to support my above theories. I went back and re-watched the 2nd j&t vid where she talks about the present. i and realized that the 2nd vid is roughly, give or take a week, a full month after the 1st one. which means that teddy had been gone for an entire month before giving her the gift. Plenty of time for teddy to gather some intel, especially if that intel is in regards to the chuai station that was supposed to open in sept., which oddly enough is when teddy left.

so 1 new thought to expand on my theories, what if teddy's job in tidowave was for him to infiltrate the chuai station as an employee, which also could mean that he is "the whistle blower" putting messages into our slusho packages, than after being there for a while he found out about some crazy stuff going on, and than my above theories kick in. so yeah just a couple thoughts to add on.

I think when she does open the package, she will record herself as she unwraps it. It kinda makes sense that she would record it so that Teddy could see her reaction. Besides, it would make for a better video for us, and I'm sure the creators keep that in mind.

Then again, the video could be after she opens it like you're thinking, a "Thank you!" or "WTF?!" depending on what it is.

What if inside it is another box? Which opens to reveal another, smaller box? Inside which is yet another box...and then right before she opens up the final box, the screen dissolves to black, and the words "To Be Continued 1/18/08" appear on the screen? I am saddened to say it wouldn't actually surprise me.

Do remember that, to them, it is a REAL WORLD. So the gift, at least to Jamie, will be a real gift.

I see some people expecting her to open the gift and unroll a banner with a URL written on it... No, doesn't work that way.

Also, giving her the monster (toy, plushie, etc...) as the gift makes absolutely no sense.

My theory: A tape recorder. A pre-recorded message from Teddy. I don't expect a video, because the delivery of it would be weird. And, in that recording, there will be something more to advance what we already know.

Do not expect the Holy Grail of clues here, guys.

This is the only line of what you said that i explicitly disagree with. look at how this arg/viral marketing has worked. there was really no build up for the teaser at all. We were only given roughly 2 weeks advance notice for the 2nd trailer. Everything else that has been found (tagrauto, slusho, jamieandteddy.com, the myspace pages, etc.) has not been advertized at all. we have had to search and look and flesh out clues to get to. However with this "gift" we have been given over 2 months notice that it is coming. Aside from an earlier discover, j&t.com, there has been no work involved at all. The build up and anticipation has been unrivaled when it comes to other clues. This is why i believe that the gift will be the biggest thing to come down the pike for this arg. They have pretty much made sure that everyone who is picking up looking for clues and trying to figure things out has had more than enough time to find out about it and be watching for it today, this is an almost sure sign that they want as many people to see this as is possible, meaning it must have some HUGE signifigance and implications.

What I kind of meant in that statement is don't expect her to open up the box and suddenly think "HEY, THAT'S THE MONSTER!"

Whatever's in the box, there will still be some footwork for the final goal, even if there is one. For that matter, is there a goal at all, or are they simply using this machine to string us along?

The time now is 5:41 (I'm in England BTW) and I think NY is 5 hours behind, so that means it should be 12:41 where Jamie is. She really is annoyingly lazy. WAKE UP JAMIE OR I'LL SET THE CRACK FOX ON YOU!

Sorry, I think I just had a weird little Mighty Boosh moment. Apologies to all. Embarassed

I'm hoping for a golden ticket...you know, one that lets you get a tour of the reclusive Ganu's Wonderful Slusho Factory, with the flying elevator and all that.

Seriously though, has anyone said whether it's just going to be a new phone?

...of DOOM....?

I hope there is something posted soon or you guys are going to go insane!

I hadn't watched these before today, so it's funny how little info there seems to be in them, hopefully the date meant something, and wasn't just enforcing the idea that he's away for a long time. It would make sense for there to be a video about the present though.

I think it's going to be Teddy's severed head.

"What's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE BOX?"
