another guess on ganu and his plans

[smartmart]

[Melampus]

Interesting evidence you've compiled, smartmart. That kind of makes Ganu into Dr. Evil, though, doesn't it? Does he have a secret "lair"? Just kidding.

I suppose anything's possible, though, since we'll find out about the backstory online. Maybe we'll find out about some 'demands' made to the U.S. Gov't (through a bogus "classified" site), they were ignored, and so NYC gets a taste of what Ganu can do! That would render moot any timing problems, e.g., if the Chaui station was suppose to open in September, why does the monster attack in January?

And, while we're venturing into this kind of territory, why not have the monster be Noriko - she mutated somehow, Ganu found her, and he can 'control' her because, well, it's his mama.

Personally, I hope they don't take it in that direction, whether Noriko is involved or not. Ganu holding the world hostage w/his pet monster... I'd like to see something a bit more realistic, to better mesh with the style of the movie. Then again, the realism of the movie may allow them to get away with more online - because, once we've seen the attack w/our own eyes, we'll buy into anything they tell us online. Hurm...

EDIT: Sorry, smartmart, that came off sounding a lot more sarcastic than I intended. I think your idea, or some variation thereof, is a definite possibility.

[Hurley]

I can dig that, Smartmart. Spend far too much time developing these lines in my head, so another perspective is always cool, especially a well thought-out one.

[smartmart]

I hope they won't go that way. We don't need another archvillain film. Anyway, Melampus, you know the way I see the connection between Slusho and the monster and I like it way better.

[Melampus]

Here's an idea: maybe Slusho! and the work at YMR is important because it's what Ganu uses to kill the monster. Maybe Ganu is the benevolent CEO that Hurley described/suggested. Tagruato then unwittingly awakens this creature, it attacks NYC (for some reason), and Ganu either lures it back to the sea and/or somehow provides the means (to the military) to stop/kill it. As long as we're thinking up new angles, that's one to chew on.

episodes...

[Melampus]

I've been thinking that for a long time now, smartmart. We're doing "episode 1" right now (or, Part I). And, this part is more ARE than ARG.

The movie will be episode 2: A day in the life.

Then, Part III will be the ARG - and, a full-blown ARG - after the movie has been released. That's when we'll learn all the background, and flesh out exactly what happened that night, and the how/why of it all. They can keep that going for a while if they want to.

That's what I've been hoping for anyway.

[Hurley]

And then part four: 1-18-08 Miami. A group of complete strangers all move into a renovated bodega in Miami's South Beach, and try to sell a new drink containing an ingredient that may or may not be an addictive mutagen.
