so is anyone thinking the movie will also partly reference drug abuse next to terrorism? i mean the whole 'seabed nectar makes u so happy thing' seems very addictive and creepy.

hope next vid jamie is injectin herself some seabed nectar and dies on an overdose. who's the moo cow now, bitch!??

I'm on the bandwagon of the BITE causes Marlena to explode.. i'm also on the bandwagon that it's Marlena exploding.


Im on the bandwagon (well more of a small cart) that no one is exploding.


As for is it DSI? Very sure it is, in the report about slusho i mentions how they couldnt get pure DSI, and as such Teddy probably needed it to prove that DSI has long term harmfull effects (or at least to try and prove it). It also explains why Jamie appears to feel so good after eating it.

First thing I thought when i saw the viral videos about the station sinking was that the monster destroyed it because it was taking the seabed nectar from it, really interesting to think about Tagruato having clover in his possesion and extracting the nectar from it, but it isnt likely. Then again a monster attacking NYC isnt very likely


Maybe instead of taking nectar FROM the monster, they have been feeding the nectar TO the monster.

If it's only 90 minutes long.. we'll probably BARELY get a backstory. I'm pretty sure Jamie and her eating of the "DO NOT EAT" pouch won't be included, and therefore just won't make sense.

I don't mean to say that'll be described in the film, just that it'll be something we get informed about before hand. To the average moviegoer she'll just look a little scared and maybe sick, but only we'll really know why. Many times people see something as random that may not have been so upon closer inspection (like Marlena being the one bitten) - it's a plot device in many a mystery actually.
I've said it before, there's been many a film with more story behind it that isn't critical to the film making enough sense and being enjoyable. It's the same basic reasoning that allows books to be translated into film - there's a core story that carries it all.

That, and i'd hate to see whiny bitchy Jamie, and her stupid ramblings and cheesy strip scene in the movie. She's gets a poop-sandwich from me.


I don't see this movie as having a backstory. Godzilla '98 was a pretty conventional movie, and it's backstory was pretty much, "Chernobyl + lizard = giant lizard" I haven't seen the movie in quite a while but it was something to that effect. Probably we'll see a lot of screaming and running around, some army guys, and then MONSTER!

ok so here is my newest of many theories. the dsi is a substance that mgp leaves (either his waste ARG <-- closing emoticon to vomiting i could find, or a trail he leaves as he moves, think of a snail) either way as i think that most of us agree that mgp has been dormant for a very long time. the dsi that tag. has found and used up until now has been very very old, possibly thousands of years. but this newest stuff can more easily be tested by scientists(other than those on tag's payroll) and can be proven to come from a living thing being that it is much 'fresher' thus the reason that it is evidence because it is evidence that dsi comes from a living creature.

tagruato would want to keep this secret for several reasons:
1. on the less devious and evil side if slusho got classified as a meat/fish/monster bi-product they would have to cut through a lot more red tape, not to mention losing millions of customers, i don't want to drink something that comes out of a creatures pooper!!! (see futurama episode where they go to the slurm factory.)

2. If a new species/creature was found of that size it would automatically get put under protection act after protection act, thus stopping tag from doing experiments on it, or getting its dsi.

3. If the monster is found by governmental agencies, then they would go out to (the former) chuai station to investigate/see the monster for themselves, which would bring up questions like "why is your biggest oil drilling station.... umh... not drilling any oil?!?!?!?!?!?" which would cause them to take a deeper look into the inner workings of tag, and see all the devious acts of the company (killing that scientist and his family, killing/capturing/anally probing teddy).

so to answer the questions of why haven't all japanese people exploded due to drinking slusho. i believe that not only is the dsi that is used in slusho processed and re-processed over and over to make it less harmful to humans, but i also think that how much jamie just took in all at once is probably about 1000 times the amount of dsi that ends up in 1 slusho. not to mention the fact that since tag is the only source for dsi to the world, all the dsi in slusho has been keep frozen and probably never reached a temperature warmer than like 40 degree farenheit at most; whereas the dsi jamie just ate has been more than likely sitting on her bedroom floor for about a month, and in a wrapped box for atleast 2 months before that probably causing increased mutation/development of whatever organism it is thus the reason that a slusho gives you a little energy boost and a slight/temporary happy feeling of euphoria, but jamie probably wont post a video for a couple days due to the fact that she wont be able to sit still, she is probably running around the streets of NYC right now singing loudly about how great her life is and how happy she is even though she has been mugged 8 times, shot twice, stabble in the eyeball with a screwdriver, and raped 29 times (although i guess that would probably cheer her up a little even without the dsi.)

my prediction for the next vid:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
video to come in the next 3 days or so. jamie is looking very bad. much like marlena in those pics from the set. she looks terrible, she talks to the camera saying something to the effect of, "teddy what the hell was that shit, blah blah blah, i ate some of it, it made me feel great, i dont remember anything else that happened since i ate it, it is now 3 days later and i woke up this morning in a urine stained cardboard box in a back alley. i just got home, WTF happened to me, i have an eyepatch on and it hurts when i touch it, my purse is missing with my cellphone and my wallet (blah blah blah, see 3rd video.) i feel like i have been shot, and and why does my vagina hurt?!?!?!" famous last words because just as she says that, she expands, we hear a splattering sound just like in the trailer and the screen goes black, but not because of the lens cap closing, but because of it being covered in jamie goo! Not only would this give us all our wish of having jamie dead but it would keep the mystery of whether or not she explodes due to monster(s) bursting from her, or just explodes.

This would also leave a bloody ass mess so when lena finds out she would think that jamie was murdered so it wouldn't be too far off that she would try jamies mind altering happy slime to try to take the edge off of the fact that her bff/roomie had been killed. now i realize this wont happen but it would kick ass if it did right!!

MGP is a sandworm and the DSI is spice! Umm... all those who are not Dune fans can disregard the previous sentence.

I'm really not sure what role the DSI has to play in all this anymore. Back in the summer, I really thought it was all about that, but I'm really not sure anymore.

Well this makes the door issue from the last one...um...slightly pointless? Dunno...really. Yeah I heard "I'm gonna go out ted"??? as she turned it off.

Jamie is retarted and tripping balls Laughing ...a dangerous combination.

Well we know one thing at least...the secret ingredient stops nagging passive-aggression in its tracks. She didn't even end with her "Prick!" signature.

That stuff will sell well..."Side effects may include exploding" might even be overlooked!

Jamie! Don't take the brown acid!

I also think she said "I'm going out, Teddy".

Are we sure it's Deep Sea Necter? Or is that speculation. It did say primary evidence, but it was supposed to be frozen. I read the whole thread, but still not sure what is in the package.

Well, seeing as how the nectar is the big unknown with Tagruato and the many references to it being kept frozen or near frozen, the guess is that it is the DSI. And now with the immediate euphoric effects we see it has on Jamie, just like Slusho and the DSI is known to have, it's all but confirmed in my book.

Maybe Jamie is now infected and acting weird on the nectar gets off with Marlena at the party, thus infecting her Smile

Of course it would appear that Marlena's infection becomes serious within a few hours, whereas Jamie still has days to go

I would never eat an unknown substance that said "Matt, EAT ME!" let alone one that said the opposite. I bet she would eat the silica gel packets from a vitamin bottle.

Anyway...

I was thinking about this and maybe Jamie took the DSI to the party, and gave some to Marlena as a recreational drug. They probably ate too much, and instead of exploding, maybe she is growing, like the story said on the Slusho! site.

Random, I know, but that just came to mind.

P.S.
Jamie is dumb.

Help me out here.

I realize the genius ate the package that said DO NOT EAT. I think we all are assuming that it was Deep Sea Nectar. But where is this DSI coming from?

We don't know.

Some people think it comes from MGP, some think it's from the sea floor and MGP eats it.
