It's also possible that Slusho! and its history plays no direct role whatsoever in the movie, that it's just a silly item that people mention, have shirts with, etc. Like the Apollo Candy bars. There will probably be someone marketing Slusho! drinks by the end of the summer with additional clues/codes.

I think it would be a bit weird for the movie to be based on the evils of slushees. It may be that we're overlooking the real clues at the site by missing some coded reading. Personally, I tend to think the slusho history itself is not as important as the clues about something found in the deep sea. Bloop!

You could be right, but that would make the whole thing pointless and kinda unfair. Plus, I don't think it would be a movie about evil slushy drinks - they're just a vector for unknowable evil from the crushing black depths. The fact that people got infected by means of frosty beverages might only be something folks who have followed the movie closely would know about. So yeah - the Bloop and the story being true aren't mutually exclusive.

From J.J's previous works I think we will not even find out what "it" is, even in the film. Looking at things like Mission imposable 3's Rabbits foot and pretty much all of Lost we know he likes to keep things from the audience

it seems like we are over complicating the whole monster thing too much, analysing this and that. what if it is something that is already in new york, something that is seen everyday but is inanimate, which would explain the line"it's alive" but has also grown very big. possibly something male due to the line on slusho "he is very big" but doesn't necesserally have a name that everyone knows. "i've seen it"
anything fit the bill in new york that could be that.
i'm just going along the lines of the biggest clue the we 'know' is a clue is that line in the trailer, "i've seen it, it's alive, it's huge" cos we've been told it's a clue.

maybe thats just a load of guff

Thats the grand-daddy of giant monster movies, it inspired Godzilla. Your post also reminded me of another old monster movie called "Them", a man comes aross a small desert town completely destroyed. When he asked who did this the only survivor (a small girl) could only say "Them." You didnt even see the monster till most of the way through. It would be cool if Cloverfield followed this design. And for those curious to know what the monster was see below.

Dude, 'Them' ruled back in the day. That sound They made still freaks me out!


ok, check this out -

Ok, so somewhere the other day I read a discussion about the trailer and how a voice speaks just before the first roar (I can't seem to find it among the thousands of messages, if someone can point me in that direction, thanks!).

With that said, there is definitely a female voice that says something just before the first roar. Having listened to it over and over, I can't see how anyone is able to not hear it. The more I have listened to it, I think it sounds like she is saying "The Wind".

Now, I didn't pay much attention to the whole earth, wind, water three monster theory that tied into the slusho page, but maybe there is something to it. Maybe there are multiple monsters and "The Wind", whatever aerial monster was the first to arrive.

Just a thought.

We aren't sure if the female voice says right before the first roar: "They Live" or "The Myth". If you do a search on those key words, then you should be able to find the posts you're looking for. HTH!

[grendl]

on the slusho! thread I posted a lengthy speculation, based off of crap that I followed from the slusho site. Its towards the bottom, about 6th from the last post on page 77.

Wild speculation, but thought you all might wanna read it.
