Poor Cthulhu. All he needs is a little lovin'... Although it is hard to love a fictional extraterrestial god with slimy tentacles who drives any mortal insane on sight.

I think there should be a character named Ethan Haas in the movie who screams "IT'S GODZILLA! NO, CTHULHU! NO, BEHEMOTH, LEVIATHAN AND ZIZ! NO, WAIT... VOLTRON!" before getting stepped on by the monster. That would make my day.

It would just totally make my day if the Cthulhu and Voltron fans would flock to a forum of their own. They're freakin' rabid and never give up! We'll be hearing about how the monster is Cthulhu minutes before the first showing.

Well, I'm a pretty big Lovecraft fan, and I too thought it was Cthulhu for quite a while, until ComiCon, when JJ confirmed it would be completely original.

I think Lovecraft fans want a Cthulhu movie because it would be so frickin' awesome. Lovecraft had some genuinely creepy stories, and there's never really been a major blockbuster film for Lovecraft...

They recently made a Cthulhu film, but I don't think it's going to make it to theaters. Also, it's an allegory to returning home as a homosexual to your family. Now, there's nothing wrong with being gay, but seeing a movie like that always makes me... uncomfortable. So most of us just deny the movie is being made in the first place. Plus, we want hardcore destruction, something that isn't in the Cthulhu movie.

As for Voltron... Well, I don't know how a giant robo-lion can be interesting, but hey, whatever...

I heard a great pickup line all you Volty fans would like... to try on each other

It's interesting reading about the theory that he knew something already. If his Myspace page is truly IG, then he list one of the people he would want to meet as Nikola Tesla. Tesla had devised theories on teleportation and time travel. It did appear in the trailer that at times Rob's body language was saying "here we go again" and at times to be smiling as though he has heard the comment several times before, like how he blew off being called the main dude.

I still think it odd that they went on the roof when there was the possibility of an earthquake. Even if they didn't believe it to be an earthquake and it was an animal, why go to the roof?

And he did push the girls out of the way before the SOL head came into view.

Why does everyone assume Rob's leaving the next day? He comes in at night--probably close to midnight--and his friends throw a surprise party. Pretty inconsiderate if he really was leaving the next day.

There is absolutely nothing in the trailer that indicates when he's leaving, other than that it's soon. If you think the timing of his departure is significant, it's just speculation because the trailer doesn't provide this information.


Maybe we should be asking why the movie opens up with his party happening at the exact same time as the attack, and why the movie appears to focus on him.

I don't think it matters when he was leaving, just that I think the monster knew he was going to leave.

And hell if the monster is targetting him, Rob probably knows why,and therefore might react to the attack differently.
he was leaving the following day and here is why http://rialliance.net/test.html


you are going to piss ALOT of people off, some idiots will think you gave them a virus.

I really hate to even suggest this b/c it's soooo cliche, and I really don't have a lot of evidence to support it, but...

First, I don't think Rob looks very suspicious at all - I think he's just shocked and confused like everyone else. Even after people suggested his "suspicious" behavior, I looked for it and just didn't see it.

That being said, he may still be 'connected' to the whole story somehow. On the myspace pages, there are a lot of scattered references to extended family - Rob and Hawk's "aunt peg" is mentioned twice, and there's a picture of Hawk and "gramps" at PacSun. Also, baby Dominick (in Rob's blog) is probably the baby of Rob's cousin (based on what he says in that blog entry). I think there's also a ref. to his grandmother (was "Ruth" her name?). All this info. seems to be inviting us to assemble the Hawkins family tree.

Strangely, though, there's no mention of Dad anywhere - not even between Rob and Hawk. So, one possibiltiy (and I really don't like it) is that Rob's FATHER is somehow involved w/Slusho! or something else monster-related. That would give the myspace pages more of an ARG purpose - other than just fleshing out characters. It would also let Rob be innocent, which would make sense, b/c he seems to be just your average 20-something NY "hipster." Also, the Hawkins family must have some money; how else could Hawk not go to college, not have a job, but still live in an apt. in NYC? If their Father (and/or "gramps") are somehow involved with Slusho!, then it would fit that Rob is going to Japan - Dad/Gramps got him the job/internship. Finally, look at the tie Gramps is wearing in that PacSun picture (on Hawk's myspace page) - it looks like it has a japanese/chinese character on it? Can anyone get a clear look at that?

I know this is thin, at best, but maybe "gramps" and/or Rob & Hawk's Dad has some close connection to Ganu/Slusho!.

I've speculated way farther out. Good thought. Very possible.

GRAMPS IS SLUSHO!!

Rob's Daddy issues

It may be a cliché, but it's Abrams' favorite cliché, if Alias and Lost (particularly Lost) are any measure.

Also- one thing I really like about Rob somehow knowing about the impending disaster: it puts us back in the realm of an ARG. If no one knows what's coming, then there's really no game at this point; it's all just scenery.
