I for one think the tarp was brought down so they can add effects of the bridge falling on top of them. Also I doubt ethier of them had the camera if the tarp was going down like that. It would make more sence if the camera was outsie of the tarp. So my guess is that they dropped the camera, and it just happend to film them sitting there.

um no, first of all the tarp was a regular solid black tarp, not blue or green for adding in effects. also i mentioned that there was a small camera in a black bag (to protect against dust i'm guessing) that was set up so rob was holding it and it was facing him and the girl. there was one camera on a tripod outside the overpass and another camera man inside the overpass.

The Tarp

Perhaps the tarp was used to block the lights to simulate a dust cloud?

yes. . . .thats what lots and lots of people have said. the tarp was used to simulate more dust and rubble by blocking the light, they obviously cant dump that much stuff on the actors and crew so blocking the light adds to the effect.

I donno, I have this feeling that Rob's gonna die alone, if he does.. and he probably will. It'd be somewhat surprising for him to be killed because of the monster and not by the monster itself.. but at the same time, a little dissappointing.

He's supposedly the main character and it's a little anti-climatic for him to die in what's probably the middle of the movie, really.

how do you have any kind of source for that?

how do you know rob probably dies alone?

its realistic not anti climatic, considering how realistic a major monster attack can be.

how do you have any idea its in the middle of the movie?

and why is it surprising that he could be killed due to something like the monster smashing a bridge overhead?

and not the monster choosing him and killing him.

Whoa there buddy, I never pretended to be privy to some secret plot information. I was just telling you what I think and I donno where you get off acting like I think I actually know what's gonna happen.

1) It's an assumption.

2) I realize that. But it's not real life. It's a movie. If we're taking this all realistically, then.. what're the chances of someone having a going away party the day before they go to Japan (which is where Slusho, a drink that supposedly has something to do with the monster comes from)? It's a movie, not a documentary.

3) Since they're still filming after that scene, it's somewhere between the end and the beginning of the party. It very well could be in the middle of the movie. But once again, it's a guess coming from someone who doesn't pay half as much attention to the details of this movie that you do.

4) It would be surprising to me because you don't expect the central character in a story to die like that. If the main character dies you're expecting his/her death to be the main intention of the person or thing that kills him/her, not for the character to just be brushed aside like everyone else in the film.

As far as Rob being in a different shirt, it's very possible he was wearing that t-shirt UNDER his dress shirt, and either his dress shirt got ripped and pulled off, or he took it off.
He probably didn't change, and it's not necessarily a different day.
JMHO


I hope I am not the only one to notice, but he (Rob) is wearing "his favorite shirt". Does he wear it under his dress clothes, perhaps... I'm not speculating, but it is was a very comfortable looking shirt.

Hmm, more pieces. . . why the comment on his favorite shirt and now this?


I just got a chance to watch the clips...the shirt looks like a average undershirt to me...one that is very dusty and dirty mind you but still just a white undershirt that alot of guys wear under dress shirts. i could be wrong of course but thats IMHO. Smile

I'm not being critical; just wanted to reply.

@2 What were the odds of someone having a bachelor/ette party the night before their wedding and getting married hungover? Pretty freaky likely. And what are the chances of someone having a camcorder at said party? Just as likely. You're right, it's a movie. And with that means there is going to be some suspension of disbelief. We, as the audience, need to believe it's not a bachelor/ette party, but a going-away party. And instead of getting married, everyone dies; maybe. Perhaps it's all caught on tape.

@3 Movies aren't shot in sequence. This scene could be anywhere in the movie. It doesn't matter if it's the last day of filming or the first, it could end up anywhere they want to put it in the movie.

@4 The monster doesn't have to single Rob out as a target for it to seem that way. If this thing it as crazy and insane as J.J. says, then it could just so happen that our 'main dude' and the girl have just managed to out live everybody else. They could've grabbed the camera from whoever's cold dead fingers and started running with it.

"Inevitably the survivability rate for everyone drops to zero".

Smile Just another opinion.

Yeah alot of people are saying this monster has intent to do something but in reality it could be that it has no thought "unless alien" that its just followin instincts but I bet we'll never know that till the movie

i still say, monster wakes up (or something of the sort) is pissed off because monsters always are, monster smashes up NYC, humans figure out how to deal.

Not a problem. I just noticed he's no longer in the suit and tie. Then again, that's a few layers for this unseasonably warm January morning. I'd also add that while it's plausible it's an undershirt, those seem usually white under white shirts as his was. This one looks decidedly gray in color aside from the dirt and sweat.

This one probably wouldn't get anywhere since it's impossible to tell from the videos, but NOI77 - in hindsight, do you happen to recall offhand just to clear it up, if in fact Rob was at least still wearing the dress slacks? If so then okay, he started peeling off clothing in the sweat of the moment. But if he's in jeans and sneakers then at some point he changed clothes and this could be a new day. It may begin on 1-18 but may not necessarily wrap up on 1-18. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things obviously....I'm curious about it and working out the timeline sequence is all.

PS EDIT - I meant to ask this too, just curious. In your first video of the recent set, the ER truck (or firetruck, forgot) that you got on film with the sirens going - was that part of the scene or did somebody get hurt or?

We still have to remember that the stuff we have seen is 1/18 in the early early morning and that we really haven't got anything sugesting what happens during the day of 1/18 so I highly doubt that its a new day and that he might have changed on the go

Indeed....and as I said above, I'm not necessarily debating this since I'm still on the side of the fence this is all going down on 1-18. But when I noticed the tshirt I had to wonder what sort of scenario we'd be looking at for the change - whether he peeled off clothing or whether he changed and if so, then that would suggest some downtime somewhere, be it on 1-18 or maybe 1-19.

And on a completely sorta related but not really note...JJ is a hottie. I kinda wish he'd lose the slusho tshirt and just go topless. Or just get reeeally hot and sweaty and drop down to boxers even. That would rule. Razz
