 		Let's try and piece this together
We've had (if I count correctly) 10+ trailers/clips now. Each of them showed us something a little bit different. So I've compiled a list of things that we know happen. Let's see if we can put them together into a reasonable facsimile of what could happen in the actual film.

1. Farewell party for Rob
2. SoL's Head flies into the streets
3. Massive explosion
4. Jet's fly by
5. Crew hides in a mini-mart
6. monster walks by
7. army fires at something (likely monster)
8. Rob and girl (I don't know the names of all of the girls) hold door against something
9. Rob calls Beth
10. Marlena is bleeding from the eyes and mouth
11. They spend some time in a medical tent
12. news report of earthquake and tanker capsizing
13. Some girl behind a screen seemingly expands
14. Hud is told to turn off the camera
15. Rob tells the MPs that he's going somewhere and they can't stop him
16. A general evacuation of NYC is ordered
17. The bridge collapses
18. the air catches on fire
19. the crew considers their options which are; die "here" die in the tunnels, or die in the streets
20. They examine a map of Manhattan
21. cameraman (maybe hud) films tanker in flames
22. Helicopters point a bunch of lights at the decapitated SoL
23. Helicopter warning alarm sounds as it spins around
24. Helicopter takes off with lil in it
25. They find Beth
26. Rob films the "7 hours ago" monologue under a bridge
27. The empty carriage drives by
28. someone says "everyone is gonna want to know how it all went down"
29. "whatever it is it's winning"
30. "bite! we've got a bite!"
31. "there's nothing we can do for her" (blurred out MP)
32. "we can't go into the center of the city!"
33. Rob: "stay here" someone: "I'm coming with you"
34. "no waiting, let's go"
35. "let's wait for a lull"
36. (strange noise) "did you guys hear that?"
37. "she's trapped in a building"
38. monster knocks over Woolworth building
39. "I'm going back for her"
40. Turnstiles/subway scene
41. Camera is found in central park?
42. "this is gonna be the best night ever!"

Feel free to add anything I missed

I think that a few of these are self explanatory in their order. Here's my ideas.
1. party for Rob (best night ever)
2. earthquake/news report
3. gigantic explosion
4. SoL's head flies into the street
5. monster smashes Woolworth
6. monster walks by
7. crew hides in mini-mart/ it's alive it's huge
--- (I'm reasonably sure that at least this amount is confirmed by the widget)
8. Mandatory evacuation
9. footage of tanker on fire/copters
10. Rob calls beth and decides to go back for her
11. the crew goes with him
12. the army fires at the monster
13. the crew hides in the subway and hears the sounds of the military being destroyed
14. they examine a map and decide to leave
15. they find beth
16. something causes Marlena to start bleeding
17. they find the medical tent and the doctor diagnoses Marlena with a "bite"
18. "nothing we can do for her"
19. hazmats take lena behind curtain, she dies from exploding
19.5. monster smashes the bridge
20. the crew finds a copter and there is only room for lil
21. rob, beth and anyone else alive find another copter which is knocked down
22. everyone is gone and the carriage is running around empty
23. everyone wants to know how it went down
24. Rob and beth hide under a bridge in central park
25. something happens to them
26. camera is found in central park

I realize I cut out some of them but I feel like my summarization is about as close as I'm going to get. I'd be very interested in seeing what everyone else thinks the order of these events are.

sorry for making my first forum post such a long one but I think this is a good way to start at least. Razz

 		Nice list, a pretty good idea...

But 5 and 6 need to be flipped..He walks by, Rob is not really sure if he seen it, building falls, they run into building....

5. monster smashes Woolworth
6. monster walks by

Those are reversed in the widget clip. They run into the bodega seeking refuge from the debris and dust thrown by the Woolworth coming down.
Quote:
9. footage of tanker on fire/copters

Those may be for the sake of the ads only.

Other than that the items you placed in sequence seem to fit OK.
Not sure I want to spend the time it'll take to sort the rest myself.

Uh, I don't think so.
I just watched the 5 minute clip again, and the Woolworth is well lit and standing behind where the monster is first seen. There is wreckage coming off of buildings closer to them, as the monster is passing closer to them. It then proceeds to known down the Woolworth.

When people's avatars are over 100x100, something about the forum's CSS or whatnot shows me only the top left 100x100 of the image in Camino and SeaMonkey (both Gecko engine browsers from Mozilla.org). I wonder what browsers are allowing the offending images to come through and screw things up? Whatever they are, I suppose maybe they aren't too standards compliant.
