Lacuna inc. Is it a new ARG!!!

I saw the trailer for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and at the end of the comercial I saw http://www.lacunainc.com
Going on the website it looks more like part of a possible ARG than a site that is for the movie.

Take a look at it there are places to insert emails, a place to answer questions, watch videos and other things so what do people think shoul we investigate more. Maybe it will be like the Ring not an ARG but will end up getting tickets to go see the movie before it comes out. Looks really good

Cya all later

The 'dead' links lead to pages that are actually on the server:

http://www.lacunainc.com/about_doctor.html
http://www.lacunainc.com/about_history.html
http://www.lacunainc.com/about_staff.html
http://www.lacunainc.com/process.html
http://www.lacunainc.com/promotions.html
http://www.lacunainc.com/testimonials.html

The last one is slightly humourous because if you go into the source code, you can read the testimonials that would be on the page if they weren't protected by <!-- meta tags -->

Interesting... but more than likely not a game, IMHO.

Hey I looked at the lacuna site. And the Eternal Sunshine stuff for the movie.
And this trailer: http://www.focusfeatures.com/clips/eternal_sunshine/trailer-480x270.mov

Interesting how much the graphics and Grid layout of the commercial remind me of the paycheck site?

How exactly would this help her trust men again? Confused

My wife is great, but my mistress is something else! I don't want to cheat on my wife but I can't get this other woman out of my head. I have tried to end this affair so many times but I keep going back for more.
Maybe if I didn't remember ever knowing her, it would be easier to remain faithful.

Mr. L. sent us photos of his wife and mistress to further emphasize his problem.

Email

I sent them a message. Let's see how it is returned. Sadly enough, it is all REALLY true.... I should be home soon.


This was my message.

Somethings in my mind haunt me to this day and I will need some major reconditioning soon. I am in Iraq currently and see many things which destroy my innocense. Please take this opportunity to clean me from myself and allow me to be the kind of father and husband I would like to be to the child I have yet to meet.
