Yeah. So if you went to see Transformers you prolly saw this trailer. The JJ Abrams flick (Doesn't even have a proper title yet. 1-18-08 is just the release date). So basically, the conceit is that apparently it's some sort of monster movie seen through handheld cameras of many different people.

No one knows exactly what it's about. I saw some rumour that it's about HP Lovecraft's Old Ones (IE Cthullu and junk), which would be cool.

Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/11808/

And there's a couple of viral websites out there as well.

So. What y'all think?

This looks like it could be really good. I went through the EthanHaasWasRight website last night and found the videos pretty freaky.

I heard rumors of aliens which I'm hoping isn't really the case but would be alright either way.

Codenamed "Cloverfield" by the way.

Yeah haven't really gone through the Ethan Haas websites yet.

I figured it would be another Volcano in the city movie or something alone those lines. Really haven't paid attention or did some digging as of late.

I'm excited for it.

It looked awesome.

Trailer was pretty good, left my friend and I all ":wtf:" though

I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Trailer looked so bad ass the first time...then the 2nd time it was ok...but by the time you see it a third time and you already know that it leaves you hanging on you realize that it isnt really that good.

I will still pumped the first time I saw it....but over time its sorta drained on me.

Yeah, I caught it. Was kinda cool.

Pretty sure it's an asteroid hitting earth, and they're all just gonna die. End of movie.

Trailer was far out though.

JJ Abrams through AICN says Ethan Haas has nothing to do with the movie.

Seriously, though, I think it'll be a monster movie because one of the paniced women says something like its huge, and usually in the movies, there is only one asteroid (dun ask why. just movie logic).

GODZILLA

Hmm...why am I thinking, with Comcast ondemand putting Mothra on AGAIN in the free movies section, and one of the digital movie channels (Retroplex or something) playing that movie to DEATH in the early mornings, that this could be the Godzilla's cousin, Mothra, getting the American treatment here?

Great idea! They've also been playing the Hell out of Zatoichi! Maybe there's a blind samurai movie in the works!

Not even sure what that is....just thinking.

They are treating "Ethan Haas" as a real person. It's viral marketing.

As I alluded to right in that post, Zatoichi is a flick about a blind samurai. Didn't think it needed any more explaining than that.

Comcast plays the Hell out of movies.

Read that, but didn't really see it....never heard of the movie, though.

Seriously, though, something that we've seen a ton opf might be a prime canidate to be remade.

Hell, they got a live action Underdog movie coming up...they can remake and redo ANYTHING anymore.

Definitely not Mothra, BTW. Cthulhu is a lot more likely.

It's not "anymore," that's a MO colloquailism.

Also, that's the dumbest logic I ever seen anyone use ever. Sorry for the redundancy, it was for effect. Seriously. And I'm just going to leave it at that, because this thread, and the promotion is interesting, and you are not.

Come back when you're up to speed. HINT: Looking at either of the websites above will get you somewhere remotely up to speed, especially regarding why they think it might be Lovecraft, and why "anything is possible" is so phenomenally stupid a reason.

For some reason, I kept thinking Voltron when I saw this trailer.

You know I'm going to answer to you because I never let anyone have the last word.

If I didn't watch the goddamn trailer (which I did), then how in the fucking hell would I be able to recite what one person said in that motherfucking thing? You obviously don't know how to read. No, wait, I forgot, you proven that you were dropped on the head as a goddamn baby in the TF thread, since you couldn't read there, either, you dumbfuck. (In all fairness, though, no one could in there and just thought they knew what the fuck they were talking about and acted like they read my goddamn posts).

Now, I'm only guessing at what the fuck it is. I could be wrong, or do you really want to be right every single fucking time you post, so you mock what you can't explain. Even if I made some sort of wild guess (and yes, it is an educated wild guess, but still, wanted to say that in case you decide to nitpick shit like you normally do), it was better than the shit you are trying to guess.

And what you said about logic? What the fucking hell? What I said was something different, because, since we're going on the logic that you can't fucking read, I had said that anything that was being shown on cable to death might be a prime canidate for what this actually is. Did in any of this mean that I thought I was the only one that was right? Where in that did you read something that wasn't there?

I'm sure someone is going to neg rep me over this, too, like I've been getting because some people can't handle differenting opinions (i.e. Chris Benoit) or think that I'm some sort of retard or something, so I'll make this short and brief:

IT'S JUST A GODDAMN, MOTHERFUCKING GUESS!!! JESUS MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMN CHRIST!!!

If you were trying to keep it short and brief, you should have only posted that last part.

Yeah, I could have, but then SOME PEOPLE would still not actually know orcare what was actually said (like alot of people have been doing with my posts lately. Not reading them and then pretend to know what I actually said and think they have all the answers and they HAVE to prove me wrong based on what they "know" I said). So I just explained it so the Jerry's kids in here can actually SEE that.

Darkpower eats paste.

So from those two websites it looks like an alien invasion, or something like that. Although in the trailer some chap shout "it's alive, its huge" or something.

Probably be quite entertaining whatever it is. That second puzzle was a pain in my ass:mad: as is the third:foc:

Found someone looking more retarded than dp.

Flip it....FLIP IT:foc:

lol sithooloo

Serioulsy, this guy is fucking ridiculous. "Everything is divisible by 3 OMG!!!!"

The funniest bit was the bitching about giving credit were credit is due...K people?

What a peen.

looks like it could be interesting.

LOL. I saw someone suggest Voltron.

IT'S JUST A GUESS, DAMMIT! AND WHY DIDN'T THEY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE GOOD GUYS IN THE TRANSFORMERS AD?

If the whole movie plays out on that cam, it could be very cool and scary experience.

LMAO @ the guy pronouncing cthullu as Sithulu

On having a look at the Haas sites (especially the one with the sanscript posts) and reading a bit about Cthullu And it's arabic cult, I would say that looks like a good bet.

According to Imdb.com they are refering to the monster as 'The Parasite'
