Damnit, you're right about Mike Vogel.

In my defense, what little I saw about The Class seemd far too terrible to seem real. It was SOOOO cliche!

And why on earth did the dude pick her 3rd grade class for the reunion? That seems like kind of a ranomd choice to me.

people, please...

it's "Cthulhu"! TWO H's!

I dunno... CoC might be cool except it's already been done to perfection by the Lovecraft Historical Society.

BUT it would make it much easier to keep it under wraps as the work is Public Domain, so there'd be no deals to have to broker and such.

I dunno... I'm just gonna wait to find out.

The more I think about it, and now that the "The Class" connection has been broken, the idea that it might be for a game IS seeming more and more likely. I keep thinking about all the "your place in the new hierarchy will be up to you" type thing.



Another thought, which would reeeeally piss me off is that this could turn out to be something really, really lame, like some kind of Scientology thing...

The Class: He chose that year of school because in the first episode, he says that it's because that is where he met his (now-ex) fiancee.

But because of coincidental connections, such as the main character of The Class has the same name of a prophet foreshadowing impending apocalypse, with one of the actresses in The Class being in a semi-apocalyptic movie trailer, theories and rumors are bound to happen.

But when you think about it, what better way to throw off suspicion and spoilers than to find ways to connect unrelated items from the movie, and tv and online games, then say that they are unrelated (which isn't a lie) through the skepticism of the media and common people.

Will I see this movie? I'm not positive I would want to see it, as I don't like thrillers and scary movies. I'd rather piss myself laughing than have the shit scared out of me. But I am intrigued.

Man it would be a huge disappointment if us people are just think WAY to much into all these connections to the movie. >_<

It doesn't really matter to me anyway. The trailer looks different from all the other movies I've seen in a while and is making me think about its plot, which makes a top "must see movie" on my list for films in 2008.

And Yay for me for actually going though the Ethan Haas Was Right puzzles, with only cheating once!

Haas's visions end here. What happens next is completely up to you. You've unlocked the keycode that will bring you reward for your dedication to our cause, but it will first start to be of value August 1st, and you only have 30 days to use it. Take note of this code, it will help you get your preparations underway for the New World in which you are now a part of, whether you like it or not. But what role you play, and how you live or die is completely up to you.

It begins August 1st. We will meet back here on that day.


Would fit with a new game...

Personally, I couldn't be more exited. It looks fascinating, and I trust J.J. Abrams as a producer. Alias was a great show (at least the first 3 seasons were), and Lost was great (I'm only half way through season 2, but still, it seems great thus far), so there's no reason to doubt him as a story teller. He pulled off the best in the Mission Impossible series (don't get started on Tom Cruise, just think about the movie) so it shows he can handle a feature film. I will for sure watch this movie when it comes out. I think I'm going to try to avoid any more trailers or info so I can be as surprised as possible when the movie comes out.

I have very little idea what you just said.

Howerver, this:

http://www.mindstormlabs.com/products.html

May be the source of Ethan Haas. The pic of the ruined city looks similar to the one in the Ethan Haas game.

Now, on to the site.



Notice the two pictures on there. the First that we saw for those of you not keeping track is the 2 girls.

Some say that the two girls are ONE picture if you take both sides of the faces and put them together like listed below.
This is the real image.

Image

Editted image..

She seems to be looking up at the shadow of (something in) her hair.


Now for the Second picture. Theres alot of weird things in this photo.




Image
Now if you we'rent around for the first picture they added something new with the second one. you can move them around..

Image

First thing you notice with this picture is .... if you haven't seen it yet i'll be pissed. the Chick on the right hand side of the picture. shes evil just look at her. it almost looks like she doesn't belong there. Thats because she was photoshopped in.. She was NOT at the party in the trailer in my first post.
Also there is a Number on her shirt.. is that a 9 or an 8?

I think it's a nine.

now back to moving the picture around. if you turn the picture upside down.

We see in the back (upsidedown) "we'll miss"

The MI is being blocked but Rob's hand.

But when turned upside down it's
(with the Chicks shirt... and she looks soooo fucking evil upside down)

6 55 77 3 (also if you look closely there is a Number "2" Hidden in the letter E)

so thats 6 55 77 32
What does that mean? maybe nothing.
looks like a phone number

655-7732 ? wheres the area code?[/img]

I think that apart from the evil looking girl, which freaked me right out when you mentioned it, the numbers and everything are a bit of a stretch...

Slusho has nothing to do with 1-18-08. Slushu is just a weird Japanese website.

I don't think Abrams would go that far to secretly promote his movie.


And that game about post-apocalyptic Earth may be what EHWR is talking about.

EDIT: This was posted in the blog by the Mezin...

"It is almost not worth mentioning his writings but if only to discourage mankind from putting it's faith in such "visions". Read for yourself what this "great man" wrote:

The great war of the gods will come upon the earth; the fires and terror of their rule will return for a time, but the children of the gods may be thus prepared, themselves aware and powerful…they may stand along side the gods not as equals, but as allies, feared and ready."

This was on the Alpha Omega website Wraith posted...

"Our planet is about to become the battleground for otherworldly creatures of incredible power as they wage an ancient war. The End of Times seems to have arrived. Are angels and demons walking among us, or is there a larger chain of events unfolding?"

Seems like Wraith may be on to something.
I can't think of a signature.

I agree there.

Also, holy shit. When I noticed the freaky girl after you pointed her out, it was like in those stupid videos where halfway through the exorcist picture comes out and screams at you.

Solved! I can confirm with 99% certainty that Ethan Haas is a promo from the Alpha-Omega game. If you finish all the puzzles there, the city in the background is badly wrecked, and if you look about an inch from the left, you can faintly see the exact image (including the tank) from the Alpha-Omega site. I don't know how to save pics from a flash sight, but as soon as I figure it out, I'll post proof.
