[META] Wow look at this......
about how we are wasting our time

LoL got your attention have I? How really goofy have you been looking at trailers, analyzing web sites, asking what's in the "tanker"? Well I don't mean to be a spoiler to the party but how many people have "found" anything relevant to this move? I got an estimate and it equals........ZERO! It's the absolute truth all our theories and relative idiocracy have led to what....Bull POOP! I believe that this is a lesson that Abrams is teaching us, we are just plain dumb. Pure and simple we are stupid enough to think this was actually solvable by any means. Think when this movie comes out on DVD he'll call it the "Cloverfield Experience and how dumb a person with a computer can be."

By the by I am being condracending towards you all, however even myself. Call this Alternate Reality, thats a load of dung. An ARG can be solved this is unsolvable until Abrams releases more. No one has found jack poo! More or less this is a "media event" like we report but never find anything.

Let's get real discussion just leads to hype. I'm glad you enjoyed making Abrams rich 'cuz he's laughing in your face at this moment at the projections this film will be recieving. Oh and by the by it's just that a film ARG my butt!

C that's just it! You hit the nail on the head....wasted space exactly! All these theories with lions and Cthulus to i dunno zebras lead to bogus upon bogus fluff. Nothing is what it seems and you have proven to as much of a bot as any. LoL I guess I'm a Mezin...oh wait remember Abrams slapped you all that believed Haas and this was connected a long while ago to Mars!

All I'm saying is we're barkin up a tree that's made of plastic it's just a builder for the movie, I will guarantee half the crap anyone has seen doesn't end up in final cut. And that includes the trailers look at the newest one, yes similar, but completely outta whack different. By the time this comes out I bet we'll see something that we have never expected, and to this I hope we do! Who wants to figure a movie out before ya see it? I for one know nothing and I have been following since Transformers in theaters.....the truth is we know nothing!!

Personally I hope it stays that way marketing is not about figuring a movie out, it's about driving a crowd to see it make sense. Hey call me a cynic, but come premiere night we'll be looking back at blogs while we take hammers to are heads wearing cheese mitts to how foolish we all sounded. And yes I said "WE" so quit with the idiot bs, I bet you know way more than me right. Hey everyone Enchanted is Abrams wow I never knew let's shake the guys hand already.

Get a life judge not lest ye be judged. I gave an opinion not a slur, you are the IDIOT!

God forbid people choose to have fun eh? The nerve of them spending their time doing something they enjoy, damn you really did tell them. I guess we should all just go back to sitting infront of the tv wasting away. Sad

HHHEYYYY NOOWWWWW go easy on him. he is just upset that his power rangers meets barney meets pokemon theory wasn't right. but no seriously dude, if you are upset about how things are going down on here, than leave. simple as that. I fully agree that 90% of the theories and discussions we have had will be completely meaningless to the final cut, but who gives a rat's pink ass. I know that I for one have enjoyed this whole process no matter how cock-and-bull it has been at times. And to your point that arg's are supposed to be solvable, that is why several people on here, myself included tend to think of this as more of an are (e. for experience). There doesn't have to be a finish line.

so in summation, no one is begging you to stay, so if you don't like the directions these boards are going in feel free to push that little <- button at the top of your browser and never come back. you wont be missed.

He does make one decent point. I'm fairly sick of people trying to figure this damned movie out before it opens.

spelling nazi

when the topic poster learns to spell condescending correctly instead of "condracending", then I will dignify his/her thesis with a response. Until then... get Firefox!

judge what?

How truly wrong you are. You can fancy your sentences up using fun words and analogies, but what it all comes down to is you're preaching like you actually have a point.

This ARE is designed exactly the way it's supposed to- a promotion tool. We know this and we're not phased by it. Our theories are us enjoying this game and we're okay with that. Even if EVERY single theory we produced was incorrect, it wouldn't matter in the least because I know when it's all said and done I can say, "well- it's been fun." But the fact is, the solid fact [if that's what you really want], The script has been written, the plot has been set in stone. The minor details in pointless lines and the visual sound and effects may have changed a bit, but the plot, the backstory- It remains the same. That, along with this ARE, is just good marketing- GIVING PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.

My advice to you is give up. If this is becoming pointless to you, then give up. But don't act like you actually have a point to make by posting a thread about your crying complaints because WE DON'T CARE. We enjoy our time with these pointless games. We enjoy being led through this backstory. We enjoy this hobby of ours. Unlike this particular hobby- YOU are a waste of time, your thoughts and opinions about our interests are a waste of time and not just ours- but your own. You could be doing many, many other things that you find fit for your time, but instead you find your time being spent crying and complaining. Tell me, is THAT your hobby? Is that what you enjoy the most? If not, then again, I implore you for your own sake of wasted time- give up.

Well, I think he has a point. This ARG has been mostly just wild speculation and over analization while we wait for the next bit of information to be released by J.J. and crew.

Yeah, it's been interesting and a lot of fun, but as far as the actual playing aspect of the game I think it has been lacking. I also have a suspicion that now, as we are near the release date, he will feel the pressure from film executives to spoon-feed information down to the level of the so-called "MTV crowd" to get more butts in the seats.

Do keep in mind that we're not even sure if this is an "alternate reality GAME". People are just assuming it is.

I don't trust someone named after demons Evil or Very Mad LOL.

"When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him...He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won't torture me!" For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!"

Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"

"My name is LEGION," he replied, "for we are many."

Mark 5:2,7-9

LOL Be gone eveeeel one! Flaming Nutter

I wonder if some of the hope that it's a game comes from the people who followed the Ethan Haas stuff, that seems to be the closest Cloverfield has been to a game, even though it wasn't even related!
I'm glad I haven't been following this since July, I came here because I was intrigued about the monster and the plot, but I'm not very interested in the back story really.

At the end of the day, someone who's not been following any of this can watch the movie, and then spend just a day or two reading the entire collection of websites and blogs, and still have as much insight into the universe as the rest of us.
