Lost in translation

[InspJJ]

awesome how? In that it makes so many people want to end it all? Still, glad it wasn't me who had to watch it again! £3.75 down the toilet IMHO.

Any leads yet on the video?

The city(ies) in the video, have we been able to place them yet?

(Sorry - I leave for 5 days and come back and the game's started and in full swing, dang it!)

Personally I think reading the threads, no matter how long they may seem is a useful thing to go.. then you can pick up on everyone's own ideas, and dead ends.

But what have we noticed so far from this video.

It was definatly filmed in Japan, we know this from the screenshots/phonenumber.

The blank space represent other papers, we know this from when the video was updated

Also someone found the exact route filmed, I think.

[Arashi]

The exact route, I'm impressed

Definatly going to have to finish this thread tonight

So the movie was updated, how so, more papers added to the list?

[Rob_Riv]

yeah these were added
28th February - Sydney Daily Telegraph
and
5th March - Toronto Globe and Mail

Note the piece of paper has a space where a word could easily be inserted before "cube," and yet most of the text is really aligned left.

Note that on the postcard, the word "cube" is the only starting word of a sentence that doesn't have a capital letter, almost like there was a word preceeding it.

Note the striking out of the word before Cube in Sente's letter. And yet, Sente didn't even bother to write the missing word on this paper, or the postcard, but in the newspaper, it's just reffered to as "The Cube."

Strange. Maybe the word that people use to refer to the [insert word] Cube doesn't exist in written form. Or, of course, it could be a number of things. But it's definitely something to keep in mind.

i remember a couple images where people had laid words in the same font as the Sente letter over the blacked-out portion, and it definitly wasn't long enough for 'perplexcity'; also, the fact that there is an instance where the space is censored, rather than left blank, would seem to indicate that it is an actual word - not so much some kind of unexpressible (is that a word?) concept that they're forced to leave blank.

Most likely a 6/7 letter word starting with 'M'. Like master, something like that.
