Re: The Truck and The Train

Okay i have read some reviews about "how can a truck destroy a whole train" and i know sometimes this can be true but i have come up with a theory it has some spoilers in it, i'll put a note where they are.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Truck collides with the train now we know they were using some chemical to keep the alien calm only disarming it during "the feeding regiment".
However my guess is all the truck did was destroy the thing that was putting the chemical into the train carriage (this can be seen in the Portal 2 interactive trailer).
So now the alien is waking up, we know he has some sort of power over metal, the alien is confused and before he can break out he destroys the train either out of confusion or trying to kill anything that might stop it from escaping.
NOW THIS IS THE BIT WITH SPOILERS OF THE MOVIE
Mr Minker says he has a connection with the Alien. So the alien knew he was in this truck and tried to move the truck further away out of harms way
Thus explaining why the truck sort of moved


Sorry it's a bit long, but try and read see if you agree




My 2c ..

The train is slowing at the crossroads..The truck did collide but only partialy you can see it glances the train passenger side.. this would jar one side of the trian in theory and derail the train. Hence the truck being crushed from one side and some of the cab still intact.

I do not believe that cooper had any control over metal.. what you see is the creation of the giant magnet that its is creating underground the water tower to utilize as a Super Conductive Magnet and Magnetic frequency/ signal to call the cubes and recreate the ship.

So people keep saying why did the guns go off and the tanks misfire? Well there was a low/high fluctuating magnetic field being produced as cooper was powering his magnet.

Sure they had gas on it in transport..no doubt train derails and gas goes off like you said portal.

They were connected..and he was a bit obsessed with it /Ahab style Wink

Maybe...I think? Razz

I really like that theory, the copy i was watching on was very bad so i couldnt make out much in the caves let alone just barely could see what the cooper looked like. But i like your theory better. In my opinion the train crash does work. If you can derail the first carriage, then it will have an impact on the rest.. I really dont see why some were saying that it was "unrealistic". I mean i bought it.

I didnt see the magnet (because of the bad copy) but im guessing he got the parts he needed. Too add to this "Super Conductive Magnet and Magnetic frequency/ signal" my guess is Cooper was recreating the device (used by the scientists) that controlled the cubes with the golden ratio, but on much much grander scale. I'll have to wait for a better copy so i can look more into it

Quite reminiscent of ET, methinks. Though much less... esthetically pleasing ;)

Ehhhh we all crawled out of the muck, he has a face only a mother can love.

But all things have a connection don't they? Like the connection between nucleotide frequencies in human single-stranded DNA and the famous Fibonacci's numbers.

Kinda like how this ground hog is eating my day lilly's out my window right now.. and how I want to connect to him by kicking his ass....brb

The scene where Deputy Lamb is walking down the steps of town hall trying to find the deputy with the radio. The first deputy he asks is Michael Giacchino.

"Tannen" County is an easter egg.

Dick Smith Do-It-Yourself Monster Make Up Book. Easter egg or not. I mean, how cool was that.

I'm pretty sure The Walkie Talkie Radios the kids used are the same type of toy walkies used in Escape from New York.

I saw Super 8 for the 5th time today at my local theater! I caught another slusho sign in the gas station scene! There is a pole in the station and on that pole there is a slusho sticker. It is the same design as the sign in the window and the big sign above the register, just in sticker form. Look for it next time you see the movie! Also, it was out of focus so I couldn't quite tell, but I think there may be an RP poster in Joe's room as well. I thought I saw the same poster as the one seen in Charle's room in Joe's room when the footage of his mom starts playing on the projector. If it is in fact an RP poster, it is the poster directly to the right of the screen when the footage is being shown. I'll have to really look closely the next time I see the movie.

nice list and a lot for me to look out for on my next viewing. During end when all of the materials are flying around, I think I saw a film reel. I know...nothing major but I thought it was funny.

Saw it for the first time today as a father's day present, so to speak, so I've dutifully avoided the spoiler threads up until now. It was awesome. And I saw some of the things mentioned, but definitely not all- Nimoy must have neck-pinched me at that moment he showed up. I will say that the junk on the tower at the end looked like a close-up of the Satellite of Love from MST3K, so I'll be checking it closer next time to see if there are any funny things on there.

My IMAX showing wasn't terribly in focus. I complained during the trailers that it was blurry, but they didn't do anything. Sigh.

Here are my limited additions, and not terribly good ones. I agree with the others in this thread. When the Sheriff pulled into the gas station, I started humming the Rocket Poppeteers theme.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1) I thought the monster's face looked like E.T., though I saw a LOT of the Cloverfield beastie in the Super8 beastie.
2) The reason the kids escaped the monster's wrath so well is that they all touched the cubes when they were inspecting the crash. Therefore, they had a tenuous connection with the event.


One note- I'm not sure what year the Buick Skylark (yellow car) was, but it looked like about a 1969, and therefore was really beat up for a 9-10 year old muscle car.

The three dots come at the very start of the movie

I'm 99% sure it's nothing (i mean what meaning would it have) but it was there so i thought i'd share it

am i crazy or something? i've done some research through the thread, albeit minimal, but is there any story behind the trucks with the three white dots?

also, i'm not 100% sure, but did anyone else catch someone jumping out of the truck RIGHT before the it turned to face the train?
