"It's huge!"

[cleolinda]

You know how that blogger was claiming that "Cloverfield" was the code name for the Dark Tower movie(s)? Well, he's officially full of shit, because it's the code name for this, which you saw the teaser for if you went and saw Transformers. And? There's already website(s) with puzzling... puzzles. (See comments on that last link for help.)

Man, I live for cryptic shit like this.

Estimated time until first "it's too soon after 9/11 to show New York City blowing up" wank?

[flamingtoilet.livejournal.com]

Not too long I would expect. This thing's going to get massive publicity just for that.

My question is, how do the aliens always know to attack New York? Why do they never just aim a giant bomb for the center of the continent and hope for the best?

[christwise.livejournal.com]

The wank may all go to "I Am Legend" where New York is actually and 100% de-stroyed. (spoiler?)

And here I was thinking Cloverfield was the code name for the Watership Down remake where the aptly named "Blackberry" is a communications rabbit for a nuclear sub deep in Soviet Leporidae.

You got give JJ Abrams snaps for being a marketing genius.

Did you find the ethaswasright website?

[nc-bookworm.livejournal.com]

Um, what did I just watch? *boggled*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't know, and that's why I love it.

[quizzicalsphinx.livejournal.com]

I think it was The Blair Independence Day Project.

[khaman.livejournal.com]

Funny; I didn't get this at my theatre. At either screening. Bummer.

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

As someone who was addicted to the Lost Experience, this EthanHaasWasRight website is like crack. CRACK, I say! I've already blasted through the first three puzzles. Mad props to JJ for being a marketing genius.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Okay, then you can help me. I know what to do for the second--the HAAS and all--but for some reason, when I line up the letters the way some message board said to, nothing happens. Am I supposed to do something else?

Ethan Haas was right

[platinum-cobra.livejournal.com]

Im so hooked. thank you.

Er... what is it?

[serizawa3000.livejournal.com]

I think my computer tried to get a handle on the "Haas Was Right" site and gave up, so I didn't see anything. Did look at the "Haas Was Wrong" blog... and I presume that people are discussing the Tibetan-style script on it...

At least it's not another Sprite commercial, I guess. LIME... LEMON... LIME...

Re: Er... what is it?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, apparently the script really is Sanskrit. The Right site (as opposed to the Wrong one)--I had to enable javascript on that one (I use Firefox) before I could see it, and I've heard some folks had to update their Flash. It's basically five puzzles, with fuzzy dark video clips in between of some guy talking.

[thunderphoenix.livejournal.com]

I've heard Star Trek, Voltron, and a Lost movie as suggestions so far.

[ter369.livejournal.com]

JJ is good at building up the cryptic, but I don't trust him to deliver a decent followthrough; not after Alias's last three seasons and the first 47 minutes of Lost: 1.1.

[fengi.livejournal.com]

Given that it's JJ Abrams, I'm wagering lots of cryptic time wasters leading up to an anticlimatic, derivative payoff which barely connects to what came before, with the excuse you weren't supposed to expect anything from the macguffin anyway. With Keri Russell, shaking a bunny.

[kamiawolf.livejournal.com]

holy shite this is so awesome! I was hooked with the trailer before transformers but all this stuff just makes me so much more excited! I already beat all the puzzles and i cant wait to learn more!

[the_rainbow_jen]

Oh, me too, babe. Its Independence Day told through Blair Witch lenses, and I am SO THERE.

[shebit.livejournal.com]

Dark Tower as in Steven King? Ooh, is there talk of movies? If they don't cast Nathan Fillion as Roland I will cry.

[youngcurmudgeon.livejournal.com]

~deleted keyboard-smashing delight~

I am intrigued by your ideas and their brilliance! These things must exist!

[ironclad1609.livejournal.com]

Clip removed :( Bummer...

Whee!

[perkypaduan.livejournal.com]

They've done their job; I don't care *what* it is, I must see it.

My mind was blown Tuesday night when I first saw this, but now that I've settled a bit? With the Aint-it-Cool-News folks thinking it's possibly a parasite/monster, I'm wondering if it's an American version/interpretation of The Host (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Host_(film))....

*ponders*

[khaman.livejournal.com]

I've had an absolute goddamn BALL following bits of trivia around and if you give a crap about my current theory, I've got it in my latest post here: http://khaman.livejournal.com/237078.html and it's also decaying on the IMDB boards.

To sum up: I think it's a movie about the end of the world, Hindu style. We've caused enough sin and destruction to bring about Shiva's wrath and the culmination of Kali Yuga. Because Abrams loves the Buddhist/Hindu shit, it's all through LOST.
