Smartmart at Unfiction discovered this!

Randy, the person talked about by Teddy in Jamie and Tedy #5 has been found! And guess what, he works for Tidowave.com!

Look at the RSS feed on the 2 latest Tidowave post and you see the creators name is Randy!

This can probably confirm that Teddy works for Tidowave also!

Possible 3rd trailer?

Posted on December 10th, 2007 in | 16 Comments »

Hello Everyone.

There is one month to go until Cloverfield is released. Could there be a 3rd trailer?

Paramount pictures being released before Cloverfield:

- Sweeney Todd
- The Kite Runner

Now, if there was a third trailer, our best bet would be Sweeney Todd.

What are your thoughts and feelings on the possibility for a 3rd trailer?

Jamie and Teddy 5 - The tape.

Posted on December 10th, 2007 in | 23 Comments »

Possibly the most exciting of the jamie and teddy video’s. December 9th has arrived and its time for Teddy to open up her gift!

transcript:

[Jamie sits on bed]
Hey Teddy. Uhhh, well, you haven’t called and you haven’t written and I haven’t heard from you in probably about…a month! So, today’s December 9th, and I’m going to open your gift. I wanted to do it on the phone with you, but you haven’t called or responded to any of my text messages…pretty much disappeared from my life, so…
[Grabs gift]
I’m going to open your gift because I gave you my word that I would wait, and here we go.
[Begins to open gift off camera]
Well, at least you’re good at wrapping.
[Grabs scissors to help open the box]
I mean, you can’t even pick up a [mumbled] phone and let me know anything?
[Pulls out a Slusho! hat, tries it on, and tosses it]
Thanks for the hat…You know, most people send jewelry.
[Pulls out a plastic bag with tin foil in it]
“Primary evidence. Freeze ASAP. Jamie, don’t eat this.”
[Looks at camera, tosses primary evidence, pulls out a tape recorder from the box]
[Teddy’s voice on tape recorder]
“Jamie, listen to me. All right, this is not a joke. If you’re hearing this before we’ve spoken, then it means I’ve been captured by a company called Tagruato. Okay? Tag-ru-ato! Now listen, you…now this is important…don’t call the authorities, it’ll screw everything up. Just sit tight and wait to hear from Randy. He knows to call you. Um…we’re on their station, okay. And, um, it’s like they’ve done something, or they’re making something, but look…the point is, I can’t ca…I’m not going to be calling you again. You’re not going to hear from me again. I just want you to wait for Randy. He will explain…”
[Jamie stops the tape recorder]
Oh my God…OH MY GOD! You know, Teddy! If you were seeing someone else, all you had to do was tell me, like a man. You know, I’m not playing your stupid [mumbled] games anymore! You’re a prick, and I am done.

There’s alot to discuss! What do you think is the primary evidence Jamie tosses away? Significance of the slusho hate?

A company called double negative is doing / done the visual effects for the cloverfield movie.

Having done such work as Harry potter, The Bourne ultimatum, Chronicles of Riddick, Children of men, Stardust and Doom, 007: Casino Royale, Da Vinci Code, and such other movies with fantastic effects. Effects wise, cloverfield should look amazing!

Create a Slusho Commercial, win an Alienware Laptop.

Posted on December 6th, 2007 in | 32 Comments »

There’s a new section on the Slusho website titled “Contest.”

The contest is to create a 30 second long commercial for “Slusho.” Five of the top entries will win and receive an Alienware laptop valued at $3,000. So much for blowing all of your money on laptops since you wanted that low-budget film (which I still say wasn’t so low budget after all!)

The rules page (contents/rules.html) is currently down due to high server usage for that file, however basically the commercial needs to be “happy” and 30 seconds, no more then a minute. You’ve got to be a legal US resident, ages 18 and up.

Don’t watch their commercial if you want to retain your sanity.

Myspace updates.

Rob Hawkins - Dec 4 2007 3:36 PM - TO BETH
What could possibly be preferred over nerdy epics with myself and hud?

Beth - Dec 4 2007 3:37 PM - TO ROB
I’m going out with a friend. Sorry! I’d love to hang out with you guys later in the weekend!


And after Rob and Beths comment convosation, Beth talks to some of her girlfriends.

Beth - Dec 4 2007 3:22 PM - TO MARLENA

Lil - Dec 4 2007 3:25 PM - TO BETH

Beth - Dec 4 2007 3:29 PM - TO LIL

Cloverfield seen?

Posted on December 3rd, 2007 in | 25 Comments »

Hello Everyone.

Yes, Cloverfield has been seen by yet ANOTHER person. Wow, at this rate the entire world would have seen it before its official 1-18-08 release date ;-)

Here is the link to the post: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/34941

And if you computer is gay:

Hey folks, Harry here - got the following brief review of CLOVERFIELD…

Just saw CLOVERFIELD in a small screening in NYC. IT WAS AWESOME!

I know - you want to know more. Join the fucking club! You also doubt the validity of the claim. Well, I checked with folks to see if it had indeed screened. It was at a Viacom in-house screening with unfinished visual fx.Add to this - a quote that Moriarty heard one day whilst walking the picket lines from a famous type that had seen the film, but was not associated with it, that felt they had just made “STAR WARS”. Now - personally - that’s crazy Hyperbole… isn’t it?The film’s budget is too small for it to be that amazing… right? But… what if? What if there’s a payoff behind the mystery and the buzz. What if we’re a month and a half away from a film that we’ll all remember the promotion for - and remember when nobody knew what it was called… when the world was thinking H.P. Lovecraft and Voltron… and something called SLUSHO? What if, we’re on magic time - getting ready for something… wonderful…. What if?

Here’s two additional reviews we’ve received: — The first of these two came from the alleged MARINE - the following reviewer wrote me back with a very detailed (regarding the screening, location, how he got in, etc… piece - but here’s what he had to say about the review that I’ve removed…

hey harry

saw you put my review up, so i’m glad it didn’t go to waste! that said, i wanted to let you know, that 2nd review, from the former marine or whatever, is 100% bogus. as incoherent as it is written, from what i was able to decipher, he definitely gets a lot of things wrong. most importantly, the protaganists are definitely not strangers, and the reason for the group moving in the direction they do once the attack is underway is explicitly stated by the leader of the group.

be well

and this:

hey harry

longtime reader, first time writer. i was at one of the Cloverfield screenings in NYC, and while the EFX and music weren’t finished, i don’t think the movie was that far off from being complete. anyway, i am a big Lost fan so JJ Abrams’ involvement, coupled with the amazing viral marketing campaign they have used to promote the film, had me really fired up about seeing the film. just wanted to preface with that before sharing my thoughts, which i will keep as spoiler free as possible:

regarding the monster:
i don’t know how much i want to give away b/c i think people are having a really good time hypothesizing about what the monster is, so let me just say that it’s humongous, it’s ugly, and you do see it in full view - no blair witch kind of thing going on here. SPOILER TAG i can also confirm the presence of smaller monsters (which look like the uglies from starship troopers kind of) / END SPOILER [put that in black on the website if you can]

regarding the story:
again, don’t want to give much plot away, but there is a little of a backstory initially, but it doesn’t take too long to get to the party scene from the trailer, and once the statue of liberty head comes rolling down laffeyette street [i think?], the movie is off and running, with NYC devolving into chaos as people avoid being caught in the path of whatever is destroying their city

regarding the movie itself:
the scares are of the “gotcha!” variety, but that is to be expected given the use of the handheld camera, which, by the way, is your POV the entire film, so those with easy motion sickness be forewarned. there are some pretty funny one liners delivered by our cameraman to offset some of the tension with levity. there are certain plot devices which require a large suspension of disbelief (esp in regards to cell phone usage), but then again, if i’m going to buy in to the fact that a giant monster is ransacking my hometown, who am i to draw any line?

overall i thought it was solid, definitely not great, and certainly not a genre redefinition. then again, my expectations were very high going in, so i might not be the best person to ask. my major critiques were:

1) it was somewhat predictable, and, as i stated before, the scares in the movie are less of the “creeping dread” variety and more of the “gotcha!” type.

2) again, i don’t want to end the hypothesizing fun, but the monster isn’t given much of a backstory or explanation. it just starts tearing NYC a new one one night.

that’s all i got. no need to credit me on this one, just wanted to get a review out there that doesn’t have everyone shouting PLANT!!1!”

Could it be legit…who in hell knows? This dude has stated stuff that we’ve theorised for a pretty long time now but he does he small details that could be true.

Anyway, Enjoy!

The Cause?

Hello everyone.

A new site has been found! Remember the clues left on the hacked Tagruato site and TIDOO (Tagruato is destroying our oceans) theorie? Turns out this really DOES have something to do with things.

Apparently this “front” is the latest initiative from Les Guerriers de Mère-Terre (warriors of mother Earth) and was founded by conservationist Les Bandit Vert (The Green Bandit).

Also, remember the Tagruato voicemail memorial? Well here is our anwser;

Many thanks to our friend in the field who passed the original article on to us. It’s translated below:

YOSHIDA MEDICAL RESEARCH MOURNS THE LOSS OF MARINE BIOLOGIST

Tagruato suffered a large loss yesterday when Kazui Ichigawa, 63, and his family were found dead early in the morning.

His body, along with the bodies of his wife, Rie Ichigawa, 55, daughter Norika, 36, and granddaughter Kyoko,10, was discovered in the Daisetsu-San National Park at a popular RV camping area. Early word from the police is that it was a gas explosion in their trailer.

In a statement released to the press, press consultant Aki Ito said, “We are shocked and saddened at the sudden passing of perhaps our finest Marine Biologist. Ichigawa was not only an employee, but also a friend. He died with honor.”

His tragic death comes mere days after he abruptly retired from YMR. When informed of that, Ito replied, “It is a shame and a tragedy- this is a man who always put his family first.”

A close friend and co-worker (who asked to remain anonymous) believes that Ichigawa uncovered a magnificent discovery before he retired. “Unfortunately, his computer and files, even ones he kept in his home safe, are nowhere to be found. Tagruato is currently conducting a search for them.”

Ichigawa is survived by his son-in-law, Toshiro, 39, who was away on business at the time of the accident.

A memorial service will be held at Tagruato Headquarters. For details, contact a Tagruato representative at +81-3-5403-6318.

Interesting stuff right! I will update the “memorial service” post to include this piece of info :-D

Investigate this one please! Lots to look at!
