Josh in the movie

[MimiHamburger]

I didn't see anyone else mention this... sorry if I'm repeating it...

If Josh was 13-14 in 1979 that would make him 44-45ish today.

If Josh is named after his dad and Josh Senior was 13-14 in 1979 and we assume Josh Senior had Josh Jr. at around 23 in 1989 then Josh jr. would only be about 21 right now... So by the feel of the blog is Josh a really lame 21 year old!? or an eccentric 44 year old... Or neither!? I kinda pictured him to be in his late 30's....

idk, i think he would be closer to 44 so i like the theory that IncidentCloverfield had... that Josh took the footage but his dad was the one who delt with the aftermath of it all. either that or he was abducted and his age is all off (like the pple who were abducted in CEOT3K who didn't age...)

sorry to pop up out of no where... I've been following you guys for months, but didn't join because the firewalls at my work wouldn't let me... and you're all so smaaaaart it's intimidating...

Josh's age

[Melodyman]

Well, Josh says he has over 2 decades of experience with aquariums and fish, so unless he started at 5 years old, he must be at least 30 and probably more like 40'ish..

Now, if the film takes place in 1979 and concerns some kids who catch something on Super 8 film, if Josh was one of the kids, surely he would be old enough to remember his dad...unless his dad was already missing.. In fact, for Josh not to ever have known his dad, His dad would have had to leave when Josh was quite young.. before he was old enough to remember him..and if Josh was one of the kids who took the Super 8 film, he would know about the scariest thing ever on it..Unless they never knew they filmed it..

So, as it sits now, Josh might just be the son of a Mr Minker who vanished in the 60's.. neither of whom may be part of the movie at all..If Mr Minker was in the movie, then we know something is wrong because we would already know he's been missing since the 60's or so.. so how could he be in a movie in 1979?

Who knows??
I wish they wouldnt start these things so early on before the release..It drives ya nuts waiting for a scrap every few weeks...

I feel like our interaction/knowledge with Josh is far more personal than I thought was allowed before film release. I feel like he may be affiliated with the film storyline but not directly. He may be the son of someone present at the 1979 altercation, and perhaps others were present too. Like, a group of present day adults who disappeared back in '79 where one happened to have a kid named Josh.

Josh's role

[dauthi]

I think that every one of these sound bytes have just been wild sound taken during production of this actual film. The beeps sound like a camera turning on or off, esp a panisonic or consumer grade camera. It sounded to me like someone said b roll, and someone else said background.. could easily be referring to the background noise needed during post production.

[Xeno Lambrose]

OK, but what relation would that have to the ARG?

[dauthi]

It might not be related to the game, it could be an in game easter egg.

[Xeno Lambrose]

I suppose that could very well be--this is my first ARG, and Team JJ could very well believe in egg laying hares, but it just seems that with him minutiae means much, but we will see what we will see.
