So, anyone who went and saw Transformers saw the trailer for this, also being given the unoffical name "Cloverfield". It's the newest project from JJ Abrams, co-creator of Lost. I haven't seen Transformers, but I saw the trailer somewhere online, and I'm excited as hell. I'm a HUGE Lost-fan, and from what I've seen/heard about this, it should be just as good. I'm quite intruiged by the idea of a movie done mostly (if not all) in hand-cam.

Anyone else out there?

Me and my wife are both stoked, as we are both fans of LOST, and Abrams other popular work, Alias.

It was actually the most effective trailer I can remember. Much better than the usual "Show all the best moments so they give us their money" trailer

I just discovered the viral marketing that's started. Very excited. I live for this kind of stuff.

Hey...LFV likes LOST, too!? Dude....

The "viral marketing" has some elements of 1999's Blair Witch campaign, but it looks like fun. BTW, can any Hollywood project that's promoted with a widely seen movie trailer be considered "viral marketing"? Viral marketing starts small and gets big. Hence the name. It's splitting hairs, but it's more creative marketing than "viral".

When I saw the trailer, I was trying to figure out what it was and draw my own conclusion. But it was tough when a buncha' Transformers fanboys in the theater were yelling "it's Godzilla! New Godzilla!! Yesss!" It certainly looked like that, though.

I've also seen/heard "Cthulu" as a possibility. "Big Monster or Disaster Hits New York and People Deal With It" seems to be the general feel of the project.

Um, dude, I'm the biggest Lost fan I know. I once gave a girl who wanted my number who I was trying to avoid the Numbers, to get her to leave me alone. She didn't even realize it.

Lame, I know.


Anyway, I'm very excited to know more about this project.

Allright, when LOST comes back this fall, we're starting a thread. Me, you and Swiggy!

It'll at least be as popular as a frickin' fantasy diary.

Fuck yeah, man. Theories GALORE.

I'm just pissed that the third season doesn't come out on DVD until Christmas

I'm very glad I DVR'd the second half of it. Well, last two thirds. You know what I mean. Everything after the mini-ark.

Who wants to make the OAO Lost Thread?

If you look around, there's an older thread from yours turly. Back around when the second season premiered. I think we also ended up talking about it in the "OAO The Office Thread"

http://z7.invisionfree.com/Da_Wrestling_Bo...?showtopic=1442

Surprise, surprise, but that thread has Cage's Catcher talking about "how it looks sooooo fuckin' lame"

I'm currently in off-season mode with my LOST love, but come October I'll be on like a muddafuckah. I'll start up a thread then, if you guys don't beat me to it. But right now, all of my theories and ideas are in the back of my mind.

Oh, and if you DVR'd the second half of the season-- then that means you have THAT steaming pile of an episode known as "the secret...... of Jack's Tattoos!!!" Booooooo!

Stranger in a Strange Land was pretty craptastic, yeah. Though I am interested in what "The Sheriff"'s place in the other's higherarchy is. I can't remember her name for the life of me, though.

LostPedia tells us that she's Isabel.

Important to note that she's NOT the young girl who befriended Ben when he was a wee lad.

I haven't given Isabel much thought... as she could be just another warm body, like Ms. Klu turned out to be. I was thinking Klu would be someone important when she appeared at the end of the second season. But all she did was hide in Mikhail's basement and get blown away.

The four biggies that I keep thinking about while mowing the lawn or biking are:
1-- What's the deal with Jacob and him being invisible? When he was introduced, I thought of an old MST3K joke: "ohhh..they forget to hire someone for this part, so they made him invisible!"

2-- Who was in the coffin from the season finale? Why the heck was Jack so shaken up by that person's passing?

3-- Not too big yet, but when Richard Alpert appeared in Ben's flashback, looking roughly the same age as his modern counterpart... well, that was weird. Then he said something about "missing birthdays". His character seemed like a throwaway, but he seemed to gain more prominence in the season's final few episodes.

4-- Naomi the Parachuter. Who sent her? That's apparently who Jack raised on the satellite phone. Why does Ben know that they're "bad"?

LostPedia's great to kill some time. It has all the tidbits of last summer's "Lost Experience" campaign (a back story to the Dharma Initiative, complete with lots of advertising-- most notably from Jeep). Reading back on it, I'm glad I didn't waste time following it.

Isabel, that was it. And yeah, I love Lostpedia.

I'm going to save all my theorizing for a little closer to the start of season four. Some of them need a little fleshing out...

So, at Comi-con JJ announced that the movie will not be a remake of something old, but it'll be something entirely new. It WONT be called Cloverfield, and that we should be on the lookout for more "clues" and a full trailer sometime "soon".

I swear to GOD I just saw a comerical for this while watching Football on Fox.
