If I'm the only one in a theatre who laughs when the army guy says 'you can't drink just six', Abram's job will be done.

Oh and by the way I'm positive that guy is a guest/active user here on unfiction. He knows about everything, save the hack of the myspace account. He knows about the title of found and overnight.

"he does indicate we might be missing the point"

Shit, it's a metaphor.

The caption on pg60 is wrong.
It says that it's Rob and Beth holding the door in the pic...but it's obviously Rob and Lil.

I hate when they get this stuff wrong... Mad

This is absolutely the most even-handed article I've seen about the film yet.
It gets more of the details right (that are publicly known that is), even capturing the bits of fan speculation found all over.

The mention of the idea of a 'marshmallow man' monster suggests to me that the author has indeed seen or followed the dialog here.

The way I read it, what we've learned via Slusho.jp, MySpace, Tagruato.jp, jamieandteddy.com, and TIDOwave is peripherally related to the movie, but not completely dissociated. It is indeed backstory, but as they state it's not critical to experiencing the film. I expected that from the beginning, because films that require you to have too much foreknowledge of story tend to be hideously tedious, massively confusing (if you don't know the story), or irritatingly inaccurate (if you are of course familiar with the story).

So what we are left with is that knowing what's actually IN the film is going to be left to what we've been shown in the trailers and ads and the film itself. Amazing how he's kept us so captivated with this story, yet not basically spoiled the film for us.
