It also sounds like Transformers and at least that does have an actual IG tie, two if you also count the fact this trailer airs immediately before Transformers movie begins....but the IG connection right off the bat is that the WHOIS info for 1-18 website is the same WHOIS info for the sectorseven.org site - Transformers ARG.

There's T2 in the works, and while the rights to that probably won't allow it, there is always more of the thin sliver of potential that Abrams monster is an organic robot (like Transformers were, mindya), and one of the Dbots, considering in the end, some of them remained on earth since they screwed up their way back home.

Sure there's a Voltron movie in the works...but it's animated, so that is one major strike against voltron having anything to do with 1-18 - why make two movies back to back, one publicised, one secret and nameless, or maybe Abrams decided to do his version of Roger Robot Rabbit? There might be a similarity to a lot of monsters and likely will be considering it's a genre and they're never truly original - these similarities you pick up on can just be little more than inspirations Abrams and co had, as a base itself. A giant monster tearing up NY has been done to death. Not original. See?

So if you're gonna reach for associations, then you are humbly obliged to stick Transformers up top of that associations list since Transformers has two specific IG references. Meaning, it'll be a Transformers monster before it'll be Voltron.

Only the heroes are new and original - the main characters are unknowns and originals....and apparently they don't even survive. Given the premise that their cameras are discovered and the footage played to find out what took place, that suggests they don't survive...which would be pretty original and new - or at best, refreshing for a monster flick where we all expect happy endings. Razz

Can you point me to any official confirmation that this footage was "discovered" after the carnage and not just handed in by the poeple who filmed it and survived? Also, Just because the original VOLTRON team members were named Rob,Beth, Hawk, etc... does not mean J.J. didn't just change the characters names so nobody would figure it out beefore hand!!!

;-p it's np - I knew what ya meant.

If you've followed, there's not been any "official" confirmation on anything other than what Abrams has specifically stated - but the earlier, credible references have released the information that this is being done Blair Witch style (which we can see by the trailer anyway), from hand held cameras (which has been verified by a few people on the shoot locations), and that the cameras are discovered after the events themselves, which, the closest we got to an official confirmation from behind the scenes is probably the entire content and timestamps on the 1-18 site photos themselves....kinda right there plain as day it's being told in flashback, which validates the released info that it's being told in flashback at the point of aftermath. See photos 1, 3 and 4 for strong supportive evidence of this fact.

Who specifically discovers them, who knows.

But given the shoot vids put up on the other thread, we know it's not gonna be Rob/Beth (if that's that chick) who turn in any cameras.

Some things clarify and validate themselves by just connecting the dots as they've been presented IG.

Even the color of the robots on the flavors page match up with the VOLTRON bots, and what are we doing when we make new flavours? Combining the robots to form a much larger robot made up by the smaller ones. Sounds quite VOLTRONish to me!!!

Just do a search for J.J. Abrams at comic-con. This has been done to death.

Figured I would throw this out there since it is related to the Slusho website.

I received confirmation of the shipping for the shirt I ordered. It is being shipped from:

WEB STORE
SLUSHO DIST. CENTER (PNB)
804 LADY ST
COLUMBIA SC 29201-3104

The colors don't match up. There's no flavor-bot that matches the Black Lion, and there are six flavor-bots while only 5 Voltron Lions. That means your theory about the flavor-bots is a no-go. What would the Brown and Orange flavors represent, and what about the Black lion's lack of representation? Everyone will get their Voltron movie later, but this is not it.

I know, my point is really just to say that I've been noticing a few ppl saying that "this and that can't be the case because ..." even though there has really been no official reports backing those kinds of stements up. In all fairness on my devil's advocating behalf though, in my experience as a painter, mixing orange and brown together creates black, thus leaving us now with 5 colors, more specifically, the 5 VOLTRON colors!!! ;^P

But these "credible sources" made these statements before the recent set photos and videos were shown to us, the same set photos which seem to very much contradict that the entire movie is going to be 1st person perspective ala Blair Witch. Take for instance the clip of Rob and whoever the girl is under the bridge seemingly under attack. Do you really think that there is a third character there who decides to not join them in cover under the bridge but rather stand away to film what's happening while some sort of monster/creature is attacking? It seems to me that this film is going to blend the hand-held realism of Blair Witch with a Hollywood esque-CGI monster movie!!!

Double letters in the middle of a six letter word.

What's that pointing to? Look in the middle of a six letter word?

slUSho ..... Slusho is US

I don't know what's going on but hammer, cheese and mitten can't just be a coincidence.

I've tried looking at all the six letter words with double letters in the middle but the list is long and nothing jumps out.

Could smaLLest .. as in smallest whale mean anything?

Just something interesting to think about..middle letter hmm.. miDDle leTTer

Red Walrus


Just an idea... could the double letters be pointing to JJ as in JJ Abrams. Also Abrams is six letters long(as in all the slusho references to six). Maybe this was to connect it with the producer. Did we find the Slusho relationship to 1-18-08 too soon and did not need clues to it's creator?

who knows...
