Giant Mutated Squid theory - fake email?

Has anyone seen the email from this site, claiming to have recorded the monster history portion of set dialogue? Thoughts?

Hurm...

As someone on that forum mentioned, it's odd that Betty Barsuglia would use her full/real name - but, then, she did seem pissed/drunk. Who knows? I say 'fake' - if nothing else, I don't want that much revealed to me - kinda' spoils the whole thing, y'know? Anyway, I think we'll have to wait and see; something like that won't stay underground for long - the real Betty Barsuglia will have to comment one way or the other... sooner or later.

If it's her, she's not only fired, but sued; if it isn't her, then whatever moron(s) pretended to be her, to fraudulently claim she's in breach of contract, will be in deep... trouble. Either way, someone's been very, very foolish. Rolling Eyes

apparently 'brad' is waiting for the recording which he has been toldis on its way over. it would be interesting to know the email address (though we are never going to see it but just for credibilaty sake.
but there are a few things that bug me about that bit of supposed script.
firstly as has been said no-one in their right mind would reveal their full name, second jason says
Jason: This thing looks nothing like some big f*****g squid. Those tentacles ripped into that building like it was some f*****g pudding pop, besides that though-

hmm doesn't look like a squid but has tenticles, that would look a bit like a squid to me if it had tenticles.
and rob going on to say about the head and the claws, this just sounds like someone putting together all the theories put forward so far which have been possisble links to the history on the slusho page but unlikely, and rob statment just makes it sound more like cthulu (though not actually him). to be honest i really don't think we have got this close to getting what it is about and this just fits the theories so far too well.

have to see what else comes from this but i doubt its much.

OMG Nooooo......

You mean it's...it's.....
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Dr. Octopus???



Just taking some of the info provided and doing a halfassed cursory yahoo search, it's not yielding much directly - and that's only working with an assumption this is ultimately legit and not BS. If it's BS oh well.

I had to read it but having done so, I'm not sure if I really want to know what the meta plot is yet. The only reason I read it at all was maybe to see if any sort of reference point is in it that might give us a direction at all with slusho...provided it would be legit.

Then again, aside from "dialogue" none of the information itself is really anything novel or that we haven't pretty much presumed to be the case given slusho history. We get a few names....so maybe they'll produce something. If it's BS and always was then nevermind. Meanwhile just kicking around seeing if it can be validated with a site somewhere can't hurt much. What else would we be doing at this hour Razz

I'd seriously be willing to bet money that we are not even going to see the monster, and I highly doubt it will have a name!!! Didn't J.J. say something like "the monster is going to be something we've never seen before"?

Also... my first post as a register user!!!

No matter what I am going to refer to this monster as "GNARF" from now on!!!

Another possibility is that she's a "plant" and has been paid to release some info. The info. could be true or could be misdirection.

Hint?

I've been in touch with milla4da8killa on youtube and he claims to have a friend who works with Peter Jackson. He says that Peter told him things about the movie but told him not to say anything. So I'll post his replies to me. It is entirely up to you to believe him or not.

In the first message I asked him "Do you really know what the monster is and if so why not tell us or tell nightowl for him to put in one of his videos." Here is his reply.

I would tell you, but it would immeditaly be tracked to me and I was informed to keep it secret, and I will. And yes, I know what the monster is and I left a final message giving a majorly overlooked clue as to what it is. "Past is present, present is future."


He left the message on nightowl's channel


Second, I asked him if his source is still the friend who knows Peter Jackson. Then I asked for something to prove it. Here is his reply

I have been told not to say anything. I guarentee this has a lot to do with figuring everything out though.

It shows that the sites and myspace pages are all significant though, in case you hadn't noticed that. And also, ask yourslef, is it possible to make the flavor slusho zoom robot full of color instead of havig white arms and wings? Think about it.


Then I told him that many people on here have decompiled the flavors page of slusho. Then I asked if he is saying that we missed something and that there is a hidden/secret page. Here is his reply.


Quote:
milla4da8killa
Actually, I have no clue. I figured you could make them competely colored,bu havent found out. And whether or not theres a message we cant say, for all we know theres a page we dont know about.


The last message he sent me makes me doubt the creditability. So the only thing that I see that might be of significance is the "Past is present, present is future." "Clue"

problem with making the robots wings a differnt color is that they are actually part of the cup which is red and white, so it would seem od to be able to change the color of the cup, can't seem to do it anyway so that seems a fib.

on the past is present, present is the future

i've heard this before somewhere but can't think where

the past is the future
i dunno

unless he is talking about evolution

the past evolves into the present and the preent evoles into the future.
and the slusho ingredient makes something evolve.

running round like a headless chicken here.

Wasn't that line - past is present, present is the future - part of the Ethan Haas stuff?

If so, it's bunk.

Is it a Lovecraft reference, maybe?

Apart from the line being a reference to something else - some other story (which means, no longer original), I can't see how that bit of metaphysical tripe could be a "clue" to the nature of the monster. Unless it's a dinosaur (very original), or a time traveler... maybe it's a giant George Carlin aka Rufus, from Bill & Ted's.

Not a Lovecraft reference that I've ever heard of.

It could be from Derleth or someone else that contributed to the Mythos, but I'm not familiar with that line from HPL hisself.

(please don't make me otherwise prove what a Lovecraft geek I am)

Found this on another forum when i did a search. It has an aquatic theme and could provide a clue.


"Is time travel an option? I heard Atlantis was (is? when you time travel, your past is present, present is future and when you are back, to future, its present - its all very confusing!) a beautiful city."

Also, it follows with the theme:

"Just because something is extinct does not mean it does not exist" or whatever.

The "Collosus on shusho zoom". Atlantis was supposed to be an enormous city am I correct?

The Babylonian mathematics. Atlantis was supposed to exist during that time period no?
