 		Yea I was there too and saw it... I hate the spoilery crap he wrote, but I can answer some questions for you guys if you have any. To an extent. Wink

In brief, it looks amazing, the train wreck sequence was incredible, the "first encounter" was intense, it's my most anticipated move of 2011 hands down.

Yea, Paramount told us NOT to reveal that kind of stuff. He's probably going to get in trouble... But there's still a lot more he's not talking about that was shown, in both scenes, it's not THAT spoilery.

Really
How could Paramount not expect information to be leaked? Has the "I know you're in journalism, but don't tell anyone: secret, secret, secret" ever worked?! Razz

Ha true, but they can ask and... if the journalist truly believes in the integrity of the film, they won't spoil anything that shouldn't be spoiled. That's how I work, I don't write spoilers at all even if I see them. Sure, it'll get out, but it's best if more people can keep it a secret.

Mostly because once you guys get to see all this revealed in the film, it'll have an even greater impact and you're experience will be even better.

 		OH also... they gave us hats on the way out that have the Bad Robot on the back, and some weird grey circular symbol on the front that I've never seen before. It might be connected with Super 8, but no idea what it is. Given this event was all about Super 8 it has to connect somehow...

Just curious - did the grey circular symbol on the hat look anything like this Bold Futura logo from the Tagruato website?



Probably not - but it would be cool if this ARG linked to Tagruato.

Nah, that's not it. Should I take a photo? That might be easiest. Smile

 		The logo on the hat is a super 8 film reel.
