see this is the thing has been bugging me, and it has been assumed that it is robs apartment with him going to japan and all, but just cos he is going there doesnt mean he is going to do out his hole pad with related stuff. also rob comes in with another guy, which we also don't see again for the rest of the trailer (i found that odd), so i am going to assume that the guy he came in with live in that flat possibly along with someone else. now the obvious tie to a tennant to the flat would be the oriental guy in the 'main dude' part but that it stereo typing but possible none the less and again we don't see him again in either the trailer or myspace. in fact there are several characters in the trailer who could quite easily make it to myspace but have not, they are not even on the 'secret sevens' pages, so safe to assume they are not pivotal (or are they)
there is alot of open ended stuff in there that is very hard if not impossible to give a reason for unless you are JJ.
we are craving clues and possibly making our own ou tof shear desperation and i stil stand by my theory that we are missing something obvious right in front of our noses, but if i try to look at the end of my nose it makes my eyes hurt. thats how this feels.
sorry got off track.

Hey, that could be an inside joke after all. I'm pretty sure - like others around here - that "Hudson" stands for "HUD" (Heads Up Display), ie., the guy behind the camera. However, "Hudson Hawk" was a professional "Rob"ber, so therefore, they must all live together. Add in the alchemy aspect (Slusho Flavors, anyone?) and what we have here is a Hudson Hawk remake!!!

There, the planets are in alignment, time for bed.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

Believe it or not, the Hudson Hawk connection has been raised before on this thread. It's hard to avoid, when you've got characters named "Hudson" and "Hawk." I mean, c'mon. If there had been characters named "William" and "Madison" or "Happy" and "Gilmore" we'd have 'spotted' that too. There may be no connection, but it's certainly worth pointing out and thinking about.

I defend this b/c I pointed out this possible connection earlier.

The thing that first jumped out, from Hudson Hawk (which really isn't that bad... but, not that good either) is the fact that Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello use songs to time their break-ins. So, the particular lengths of various tunes was important to them, e.g., there's a scene where they quiz each other on song titles and the time/duration of the songs. One possible connection, then, was to point us to the lengths of each song chosen on myspace. Since Hud replaced "Icky Thump" (4:17) with "Jubilee" (3:10), there's probably nothing there.

Still, the possibility of a reference to that movie is rather obvious; and, the "plot" of Hudson Hawk is similar, in many ways, to the Da Vinci Code, so it's ARG-friendly. Still, nobody's come up w/any reason for considering that movie, beyond the coincidental title.

A few folks here are thinking that we're clutching at straws by discussing the map, and that there's a big boulder-esque clue that we're missing while we're turning over pebbles. What if that map is the big thing we've been missing, though? Rather than beating a dead horse in the wrong thread, I started a new SPEC thread to explore the idea. I really think this could help get some momentum going!

I noticed that too, although I dismissed it at the time. The "Love -J" card seems to be handwritten, while the Jamie card looks like a font immitating handwriting.
