People, you better start leaving these sites open.

I was letting http://www.listeningtolillian.com/ play just the music for a bit, and at one point, the music became rather dramatic. So out of curoisity, I checked out the AB channels on the police radio, and to my suprise, Channel B was playing various reports! Some of them even sounded like scenes from the film (like the tanks firing like crazy). And on Channel A, the police reports were sounding like other events from the film from before when crap hit the fan (like when people and dogs were going missing).

Also of note is that there's an option right between channels A and B, which I'm guessing may allow you to listen to both channels simotaneously.

Either way, I think this site, along with Gonnabemint, need a bit more attention now. This sounds very interesting.

Without spoiling anything, if you listen to the radio for a good 15-20 minutes, you'll notice that the police reports begin becoming interlaced with military chatter and the plot of the film begins to unfold from the POV of the police and military.

EDIT: I've now been listening for 45-60 minutes, and I can confirm there is some dialogue taken directly from the film. And it ain't over yet. And it follows the plot of the movie. If you don't want mini-spoilers, DON'T LISTEN TO THE RADIO! If you can handle teensy things that lead to more questions than answers, stay tuned! (Pun intended)

DOUBLE EDIT: It gets to about the point in the movie when

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The kids escape from the bus attack.


They mention it, and then there's about 5 more minutes of talking and then it basically starts over.

Guys! New news report on the tumblr!!! There's a PHONE NUMBER!!!!

http://gonna-be-mint.tumblr.com/

967-555-9650

Eeek! Should we call??? I always get nervous about dialing random numbers during ARGs!

EDIT: Just as a check, I looked up area code 967. In the U.S. area codes 960-969 are not in use...wonder if they were able to get a hold of the area code just for this!

K I called. It's nothing. "Your call cannot be completed as dialed." Too bad, I thought we might get something cool out of that.

Figured I'd try the phone number too just in case. But nah - same thing - not a working number.
I see the Evacu-8 game is up now too. Haven't tried it yet though.

Evacu-8 is kinda monotonous. There's some rocks and stuff to jump over, a bus chases, you, boulders fall. That's it. If someone gets to the "next level"if one exists, let us know! The cool thing is that the music is an 8-bit version of an excerpt of the Giacchino score.

Just noticed there's a new article on Joe's desk about the alien craft at Nellis that also mentions Dr. Leyda Cupe.

Just thought I'd mention that there is a level 2. You reach it at about 9,000 and it's called "Town Level". It's unexplainably difficult Smile

I was over in the US in the last couple of weeks and saw the movie while I was there Very Happy

Glad to see the UK has some new stuff to look at, I had a look at the site and there is so much on it, it's quite overwhelming.

The retro style arcade game is a pain to play to the end, and a new zombie comic for us, which says the next part will be coming soon.

Given that the film is nearly released in the UK now, when do you think the other items will get activated ?

We have -

Dice
Film Viewer wheel
Tool box
Lunch box
Creature Sticker

The Super 8 Film box (but this doesn't say Coming Soon)

Questions- No answers

I am just confused at this point, I keep lurking but have no idea what all the new data is for, Is the ARG done or is it still going? Why release these now

I am lost. - Don't get me wrong it is cool but I am not sure why
