So Helo whats with the anger lately anyways? If you hate Uf just leave.

Not a surprise. I always thought Slusho was some sort of cameo anyways...

The way I see it, even if the Slusho doesn't have a direct impact on the film- if the Tagruato activities that lead to the monster's attack have nothing to do with the Seabed Nectar, but are a separate part of what is supposed to be a very large and profitable company, I don't think this is time wasted. The Slusho commercial is fun, the website is neat, and talking about it makes me happy. I'm getting all my friends just as pumped. It's good publicity, and it's a good time, and a way to meet other people as analytical, optimistic and skeptical as each fan seems to be here (to some degree...).

Anyone who thinks this is stupid, or a waste of time is being silly. If you see a kid having fun playing with a cardboard box full of Styrofoam peanuts, don't tell him he's a loser for not playing with the toy that came inside the box. I'm not hurting anyone if I want to watch a trailer more than once, or treat a new piece of evidence with some skepticism. Besides, I want a Slusho hat because they're nifty, and crossovers are endearing if done cleverly (if that's all Slusho is for Abrams).

Anyone who has to insult others to feel cool or elitist is a loser, Cheetos or no.

Alright, True Doubters, then explain why the hell Slusho is getting even MORE marketing facetime since the release of the new trailer (the TV commercial on "Heroes," Teddy's cap, etc, et al, ad nauseam).

I think Slashfilm, CHUD, AICN and others are just mightily pissed off that the evidence is definitely pointing TOWARD Slusho being the raison d'etre for the monster, and they absolutely HATE that.

Face it, the Slusho storyline has been there from Day One, unchanged through two trailers and umpteen new viral sites.

Slusho makes monsters. Deal with it, doubters.

Nah, I think it's more involved due to its presence in Jamie's package along with the "primary" evidence.

What fails the litmus test about this idea that Slusho is so wholy unrelated is that Tagruato owns Slusho. Tagruato is unmistakeably a part of the backstory of this movie. There have been way too many ties of Slusho to the rest of this - like it's key 'secret ingredient' kaitei no mitsu (Seabed's Nectar) being on the 1-18-08.com site itself. The thinking of Peter Sciretta is apparently that if something isn't verbally discussed or made direct reference to in the movie, it has nothing to do with it. The movie is just a visual representation of a story, and if what encompasses the story is only what he can see - he's a very shallow person. Saying that Slusho has nothing to do with the movie just because we only have a glimpse of a t shirt is like saying Alex had nothing to do with The Big Chill.

As for Devin Faraci...
He's an excellent example of a living, breathing, real world troll.
This is a guy that has put down JJ Abram's work, called his fans stupid - then sponges attention off of both with his spoiler review (as imperfect as it was) of the second trailer. If JJ, his work, his fans, and this project were so unimportant he would have kept his mouth shut.

Speaking of which...

i love how a douchebag can try and ruin peoples fun...first off if he takes it this serious then why bother even being here if this site is a joke. second why is it that i visit alot of forums but his being my now only source is where alot of ideas about the 5th video were actually done in the video. remember our spec about slusho hats and recordings well no one else came up with that and guess what was in there...so if those other sites have so much cred with the indusrty why are our ideas showing up in the viral...i say get lost and have a bukakke berry slusho on the house chief!!!!!

[SlushoLover]

Devin Faraci?? Puleeze... Chud is every bit the joke that they claim Uf has become. Obviously he gets inside news, obviously people go to his site for some information - no disputing it. But trapsing the landmine laden reviews, the scathing features and the higher-than-thou "I know something you don't know, therefore you're shit" articles has become tiring. The more controversy the moron tries to whip up, the more he alienates his readers and the studios who provide him with his content. They've come to throwing up porno ads to keep alive for cripes sake.

Take this dude with a grain of salt, Uf'ers. He's a web journalist on his way down grabbing at rungs on the ladder. Kick a little, he'll fall...

[I'M HUGE!]

It just seems to me that Slusho! plays a bigger role in Heroes than it does in Cloverfield, and Heroes has little, if not, no connection with JJ Abrams whatsoever. Things just don't seem right...

[thetruth]

those asswipes at chud disabled my account from 1 post which was removed fast as i posted. i guess youre not allowed to speak your mind over there. i simply said that the article was trash and anyone who is a REAL journalist would know that rule 1 is never insult people openly about something they believe in. that dude is a douche and i sent hem a nice fat bukakke berry slusho from the unfiction "dipshits"
