I can't go to bed without at least making a comment about the spy video that came out sometime between my leaving work and eating dinner tonight. Either way, I kind of don't like it. I mean, it's cool that people are out there getting info, but it defeats the purpose of suspense. Getting out there with a camera and spoiling the surprise is like someone telling you what your present is before you unwrap it. Booo. I don't know, it's cool to see smashed up cars and rubble and finally find out where this mystery street is. I'm guessing this is the street onto which Lady Lib's head is flung onto. That's cool.
I'm also a little disappointed that the sets aren't kept under better wraps. You'd think a movie with this much suspense would have a closed set. Security? I guess it's hard to pull off when you're filming on a busy street. Eh. Oh well. I don't even know why I'm complaining. We've got video and it shows some stuff and it's pretty cool. Still don't know what the monster is. With the sheer volume of information coming out, we're bound to find out sooner than we think. Like all other good and responsible bloggers, if I find out, I'll post it. I will also transmit a warning of "incoming spoiler alert" for those of you who like living in the dark.
So go see that video already.

It does really seem like there's no security at the set. There's a bunch of videos and pics all over the 'net and it looks like people just wandered in and started nosing around.
Either they're in a real hurry to film this or they like the attention.
Ok, I dunno but here's a slightly interesting thought. Yes the sets were very open. Yes security was that great. Yes the crew were very talkative. But they did name the site "Cheese", and had Slusho written on the back of their chairs. I think it could be more of the viral marketing they are hoping for (just a little less viral and a little more obvious).
If the reference to "Cheese" on the posters is related to the Slusho site, then JJ Abrams I think meant for us to find the site and to increase hype. Paramount might come after the videos after awhile but I think we (the people who wrote about what we saw aka i'm 164 on unfiction) essentially just created commercials for them.
Plus explosions are awesome to see in person... well the ones that are controlled and no one is getting hurt.
