    I remember when browsing through the necromonicon, "Ktulu" was defined as the evil dragon that lives in the molton fire located in the middle of the earth and when the dragon rises it will destroy the entire universe..... so i ask myself, who can stop this evil dragon??

    my guess would be http://starwars-ep2.hp.infoseek.co.jp/godzilla_final_wars_01.jpg
    we don't want war, but we still want more?

    ok first cthulhu isnt a dragon. second he is sleeping in the pacific. third cthulhu has no fire shooting things. and cthulhu wouldnt attack a city to destory it. the great old ones are above even wanting to kill all humans. unless humans get in the way the great old ones wont bother them. they view humans like we view insects. leave them alone and they wont squish you.

    im thinking another godzilla but i didnt really look at the claw marks are the head. it something big but i think it came from outerspace. so i dont know what to guess.

    but if it is cthulhu they so ruined everything about what cthulhu is with that movie.

    The fact that it is opening on Jan 18th makes me wonder. I would think that if they thought it was going to be a blockbuster that it would open durring the summer instead.

    The trailer definitely piqued my interest, but yeah, I have a feeling that aside from the big-pow explosions and chaos, it might suck.

    ... still, it looks a helluva lot better than that Nicole Kidman flick "The Invasion" or whatever it's called.

    J.J. Abrams told aintitcool.com that the Ethan Haas sites have nothing to do with the movie he is producing. He did, however, say that http://www.1-18-08.com is the official site of the movie.

    interesting. so who the fuck is ethan haas lol. be interesting to see whether or not it really is connected. maybe ethan haas has something to do with nin year zero marketing campain they had going on.

    either way this is a perfect example of great marketing!

    Since it's currently untitled, I think they should choose... for a catchy title:

    Jesus Christ - The Armageddon

    so i got through 4 of the 5 puzzles in less than an hour but i quit after that... not to mention JJ is still holding firm that he doesnt know what this website is. if any of you watch LOST you will remember his game last year with the show.. this is def something he would do to cause attention to the movie. its brilliant if you think about it.. how many cyber nerds have spent the past few days looking for clues..

    but word on the street is August 1 you get more clues...

    I find it interesting that co-producer Bryan Burk and writer Drew Goddard also work with Abrams on Lost...

    Yeah at first I thought it was the beginning of Transformers or WotWP2. Still looks interesting to me, but the movie probably wont be that great.
