 		I suppose he was demonstrating how many people he could get to look at the "bloop2 car" thing, which in a real advert would be a real company.

He'll then get advertisers to pay him to make them adverts like that.
If that's true, it worked like a dream!

 		I have a question for you guys ...

I saw in several website here that Aladygma is related to JJ Abrams but none of these same website had proof of what they said ....

I searched on internet an interview of JJ Abrams or something like that , that could be a proof of a link between Aladygma and JJ but nothing ...

I searched in this topic too but I found nothing too ...


So who can tell me where I can found a proof that Aladygma is related to JJ Abrams ?

I'm very sceptic and I can't trust something without proof .

 		I went and saw the movie again last night and could swear, right before the rolling credits, i saw a similar set of numbers. It was in the bottom right corner I only saw it for a second because i wasn't looking for it. I dont think they were the same numbers, but in the same style, ##|##|##|##.

The whole campaign is too much "cloverfeld"-like to me - why should J.J. Abrams promote his new movie nearly exactly like "Cloverfield"? Doesn't make sense to me...

Another thing: aladygma.com is hosted by a german guy called Michael Schwarz who also is very(!) interested in programming and internet stuff...
I googled him and he's got a blog which can bee seen here: http://meingottundmeinewelt.de/ (in german)

I 'm from Germany and I read his blog a little bit - nothing special, a simple and ordinary blog about politics, word press and internet stuff. he's definitely NOT related to a movie company or media marketing agency or something and he's also NOT a new figure in a new puzzle. I think, Michael Schwarz is nothing but a copycat or free rider.

Maybe there is a little viral campaign for something - but aladygma.com has really nothing to do with it...


I'm not taking the easy way out.

can we blindly assume it's the SAME Michael Schwarz ???

there are thousands of Michael Schwarz's on the internet. just because this guy does programming and is from Germany does not convince me it's THIS Michael Schwarz.

 		The only thing that leads me think maybe, with a very slight percentage, that it is related to Cloverfield is JJ A did state in that interview that Reeves and Goddard have "cooked something up". But, no disrespect to JJ, he obviously isn't good with interviews and may be misquoting the truth. He's an "Ummmm" guy.
Here's my reasoning this thing is not cloverfield related:
1. Numbers never meant anything. 1-18-08, dates, etc added up to a lot of nothing both in the ARG and the movie itself.
2. Lead-ins. Remember those whole thing started with something shown to you. Remember how many people thought "mystery street" would be something. Well, it wasn't, but Slusho was. Slusho then in-turn produced Tagruato, in-turn Tidowave. 1-18-08 quietly gave up Jamielovesteddy.com. The fact is, there is no lead-in provided as of yet makes me think it's too early to start this again.
3. Timing: Similiar argument in 2, the fact that the ARG was very slow in developing (Nothing of anything July-Sept, Little until Late Nov) would make me think dragging something out this long doesn't work for them. The peak of the original ARG was the Chaui video, which we predicted it's destruction months before on this board as we pieced it together.

I may be wrong, and again I may see it one way of how they would do the next one. If I was in charge of it, the first website I would put up would be some type of "Disaster Relief" website with limited information, missing people etc. Then build off of that in which the direction of the movie (Prequel, Sequel, same timeline different perspective) would go. Maybe even start another Tidowave type group that believes this was a planned attack, etc.

Oh well. It was fun while it wasn't lame...

It IS the same Michael Schwarz Wink Let me explain to proof this thesis

the hoster of aladygma.com has following informations:

[owner-c] handle: 9954223
[owner-c] type: PERSON
[owner-c] title:
[owner-c] fname: Michael
[owner-c] lname: Schwarz
[owner-c] org:
[owner-c] address: Konradsdorfer Strasse 11
[owner-c] city: Ortenberg / Effolderbach
[owner-c] pcode: 63683
[owner-c] country: DE
[owner-c] state: Hessen
[owner-c] phone: +49-6041-8222-10
[owner-c] fax: +49-6041-8222-94
[owner-c] email: hostingSPLATmichael-schwarz.info
[owner-c] protection: B
[owner-c] updated: 2008-02-23 14:04:14

http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=aladygma&tld=com

And then - just search with the keywords "Michael Schwarz Ortenberg". Ortenberg is the town where he lives. In Germany exists only one Ortenberg near Frankfurt and it's SO small - it's impossible that there lives another Michael Schwarz in the same town... Wink Just search after "Ortenbach" with googlemaps and you'll see the "huge" size of this ... ehm... "town"...

If you search with the keywords above, you will find this blog http://meingottundmeinewelt.de/. If you look in "Impressum" you'll find the webmaster of it - and guess which address you'll find there...

Michael Schwarz
Konradsdorfer Straße 11
63683 Ortenberg / Effolderbach

Same Address as the hoster of aladygma.com, same name, same town, same house number... Wink

It is the EVIDENCE that it IS the same Michael Schwarz Wink


I searched a lot in the last few hours and I think, aladygma is not related to Cloverfield. J.J. Abrams' last Interview sounds also like he has not begun a new marketing-project like Cloverfield. He also said that you CANNOT do it everytime in the same style - but this viral (fake-)campaign IS the SAME style as the cloverfield movie campaign. That's an antithesis!

Who cares? Let him know if he's this bad at it, he needs to find a new past time.
