Merged - two threads on the same subject in the same 24-48hr period is just silly. - There'll be a slight discrepancy on some of the chat above - I can't change post times so things seem more natural.

Interesting.

Anyone thirsty?

Read the history section - The creator of the drink disappeared trying to find the best new ingredient, and her son eventually did find "a deep sea ingredient" on the ocean floor under enormous pressure - And had a dream where he was a tiny fish and an enormous whale told him to drink it... when he did, he too became a whale.

That sounds... vaguelly familiar in tone.

Sealab anyone?

Rev Scapegoat · 11th July 2007, 10:23am

Why is there a fish thinking about cheese?

Well, turns out those Ethan Has websites have nothing to do with this film. According to aintitcool they're marketing for a new game from mindstorm.

Check out http://www.anti-christ.com/ though. It has 1:18 all over the place and the skyline at the top is where the explosion in the trailer happened.

Noriko Yoshida dedicated her life to refreshment! Her classmates called her the Smallest Whale because she would drink endless amounts of beverages at every meal.

Truth was Noriko loved libations so much, and drank so much, she did not join while the other children opened their fun, she rather experimented with flavor mixtures - combining different fruits, vegetables and other ingredients naturally grown form* her father's (Ryouta Yoshida) farm to make great new beverages.

Her deliciousness made her loved throughout many towns and villages on Honshu.

And every year she would try to beat herself by coming up with a new flavor mixture, so unique to anything else - she was never satisfied!

But tragedy struck for the Smallest Whale! Noriko set off on a sea adventure to find the greatest, most tastiest ingredient in the world, and was never heard from again!

She left behind her only son, Ganu! Ganu also liked to experiment, but not with the beverage-making enterprise that killed his mother, but for science!

He abandoned his mother's drink business to his cousin, because the pain of her loss was so great with every flavor mixture Ganu attempted. Truth is that he became a lead ocean scientist. His accomplishments are many, he is very big.

And one fateful day, he and his teammates discovered a deep sea ingredient unique to anything else!!! While the team pondered miraculous ways to use it, Ganu had the best idea of all!! Because that night he had a dream - he was a tiny fish, and a whale came and told him to drink the new ingredient. And as he did drink lots and lots of the ingredient, Ganu grew from a small fish into an enormous whale!!! He woke up with tears, he knew he had found the magic ingredient Noriko had set off to find!

He decided he would make his mother's dream live - make the tastiest drink, unlike anything on earth! Because the ingredient was discovered on the deep ocean floor, under amazing pressure and in the most extreme cold, Ganu knew he had to serve the ingredient in a near-frozen state to preserve its freshness!!

He re-joined with his cousin, and combining the incredible drink-making knowledge of Noriko's business with the new ingredient, SLUSHO! came to life!!!!!!

Everyone who drinks a SLUSHO! tastes Noriko's dream, and becomes a small whale ike Noriko - because you want to drink huge amount of SLUSHO!

YOU CAN'T DRINK JUST SIX!!!™

Aye, read about that a couple of days ago on comingsoon.net and slashfilm.com.

The story is that some guy over on unfiction.com was at a warehouse sale in Southern Cali (Frank & Son's) which is pretty much a mini-convention since they sell comics, models, cards etc. Apparently he was at a booth where film posters are sold and one of them, "Had a snapshot of the Statue of Liberty overlooking New York. The statue was missing it's head and it had the title 'Monstrous' at the top, with '1-18-08' at the bottom right."

Being the film and spoiler loving person he is, he took a photo with his Motorola V3 and blamed his "unsteady hand" for the blur.

Here is the original he took and posted back on Monday:

I'll go with it for now, since a quick whois finds this:

Lastly, for now, it looks like filming has definitely started, since there have been posters such as this spotted, and buildings have been seen sporting "bullet hole stickers 20m and 30mm in size".
