 		Hey, I was wondering. If thewhistleblower's review is real, wouldn't it then have been pulled by now? Laughing

While I still think this review is BS, it has taken paramount a few days to pull things such as pictures or the like from these sites, so it would not necessarily have to have been pulled by now.

I guess; I was just poking fun anyways.

 		OK...

so just a couple of things here. I didnt read the OP on the basis that regardless of who is wrong or right, telling the truth or lying... the movie experience i will have not knowing anything thats going to happen is WAY more important to me.

but for all you whois and soci types out there who took euchre (or any other of us "assholes" at this forum) calling the OP out on its bullcrap as a chance to start a stupid little internet squable (Catfight!).... just leave man cause thats completely against the whole concept of uF. this is a sort of caucus or gathering of like-minded problem solvers trying to complete the task at hand.. not a place for anonymous, whiny, bitter, angst-filled, 14 year old girls.

Brownie to those who fit the former.

 		Seems blatantly and obviously a fake to me at least. It's hardly a review when you highlight all the speculation and things seen in trailers, and gloss over everything else.

True, there was no solid information on the monster; like where did it come from?!?!? He gives the impression that the monster is Teddy!

And i still don't buy that Marlene "pops". I am still under the assumption (yes i know about assume) that she mutates; with absolutely nothing to back that thought up.

Bravo!!! I havent logged in as often due to the abundance of idiot posts!
A great many of us on this forum are enjoying this experience, we dont have a stick up our ass nor do we lack a sense of humour as the threads marked "humour" show! what the majority of us HATE is when idiots start threads that are so obviously bs, and then have the audacity to get thier little cronies to insult the genuine people that have devoted a lot of time and effort solving pieces of this puzzle! with pathetic shut the f'#k up comments when they're pointing out the obvious and not so obvious flaws in thier "stories"
Thats my 2 cents!
Oh and in my opinion the "review" is a total fabrication that doesnt even tie what we know as fact together in any sane way. This is JJ abrams we're talking about here not an ameteur film maker!
I'm expecting a great film with a twist and full of deep meaningful imagery!

 		I really wouldn't be surprised if this review was legit.

I really expect almost nothing to be explained in this movie.

 		That's not even a review. Even if it were factual (which I hightly doubt that it is), it's just a "what happened" blurb. That's not a review. It's an attempt to make you think he saw the movie, nothing more. Laughing

 		I think the review is fake...
but it still bugs me the fact that when the CHUD review of the trailer came out we all called it fake and it ended up being real. CHUD's review SUCKED, in my opinion, so if anything it's bad reviewing in that case. That honestly makes me wish I hadn't read that. That's taking a risk of it being right even though it does have tons of holes...

Again, i believe hope it's fake... i agree with a lot of the long timers here...

Euchre... plz forgive them for they don't know what they're saying lol...

EXCUSE ME?? *Goes back to lurk, because I never said anything to Euchure, until he said something to me. I just gave someone a damn brownie point... an internet brownie at that....

The reason the CHUD 'review' of the trailer (synopsis is the right word and even a guy in entertainment can't use it) came across as bogus is because of all the distortions and key points of error in it. The helicopter shots were supposedly seen as being right from the bridge, which we can now see are interlaced but we don't actually see any helicopters as the bridge is falling (certainly no choppers taking off from the bridge). The description of Rob's monologue makes it sound like he's doing a documentary, instead of the 'message in a bottle' delivery we actually see. He also misled with the reference to the 'shadow shot' as being 2 small monsters impaling a woman - we now know that's a pair of MOPP suited people holding a bursting woman (which also destroyed his basis for the 'small monsters' being confirmed). When you start putting those errors into play, the plausibility starts to fail.
