Volume posted:I thought we all agreed that it looked like Alex was sacrificing people to the Operator. I like the idea that Alex is a psychopath and the Operator is protecting him by cleaning up his messes, but that's maybe a bit too outre.

I really hope there's a video available of that talk. I listened to a campus radio interview with Troy and Joseph awhile back that was tremendously entertaining.

Both invoices I have (from the mail and from when I ordered) were correct, so I emailed the DVD people and hopefully it'll get taken care of soon. Oh well, I wasn't going to have time to watch it until after this week anyways and I didn't need the temptation.

Antifreeze Head posted:Since Jay's face is painted or something, it could be argued that Masky was showing him that Slenderman just walks right on by if someone isn't identifiable. This has been my assumption. Something about wearing a mask interferes with the Operator's ability to to perceive or identify you, or makes him ignore you. I think it was Tim telling Jay to mask up. This is also why, the first time they Jay met him as Masky, when Jay knocked Tim on his rear end and tried to unmask him, Tim freaks the gently caress out. He's terrified that Jay will unmask him in a place which is Slendy-friendly or whatever.

Docjowles posted:They talk a bit about The Operator in the Entry 51 commentary (the one where Alex lures Brian to the ruined building). But it's just technical info, and info on an effect they tried and then scrapped at that. As far as I remember that is literally the only time they acknowledge him in either DVD; the commentary is very entertaining but don't watch it to find out anything about Slenderman IIRC they said they might reveal how the Operator was done once the series is over, but until then they don't want to give away anything.

I have this whole batshit theory about the Operator being some kind of spirit of the technological age that is an incarnation of how constant media exposure messes you up that that idea would fit right into.

FrancisYorkPatty posted:I think my favorite part of this series is that I can read this sentence, think you are full on pants-on-head retarded and spewing bullshit out of every orifice, but chances are when the credits roll on Season 3, your theory will be every bit as valid due to lack of evidence as mine. It's actually more of a general idea about Slenderman and how apparently the way to get his attention in the vast majority of Slendy stories is to start filming yourself a lot than about Marble Hornets in specific.

JordanKai posted:This has less to do with getting his attention and more with the fact that seeing Slenderman (or catching him on camera) locks him into your plain of existence and forces him to abide by the rules of this universe until he is out of vision. If he's already looking for you, strapping multiple cameras to yourself is like a form of self defense. I don't find that terribly comforting considering that things bound to the rules of this universe are perfectly capable of loving murdering you.

Jay: "So, uh, why didn't you watch the tapes?" Tim: "I don't have a camera that can play them." Jay: "Wait a minute, then how-" Tim: "Oh, just shut up and accept the premise." Also, was there a shadow moving into the room as the tape ended, or was that just just the flashlight moving?

He's already been shown to be obscenely fast under the right circumstances; there's one entry from season 1, which follows entry 1 chronologically, where he appears to circle around Alex's house in less time than it takes Alex to turn around and run across a hallway.

Paranormal Activity was goddamned creepy, especially once I realized that the creators were working off the same silly-rear end books about demonic possession that I read obsessively as a kid. Basing the pattern of the progression on poo poo that people actually believe in was great.

That drat Satyr posted:I'm super curious now, what were the books called? Google is not giving me any results. Look for books involving Ed and Lorraine Warren, in particular "The Haunted". The basic pattern is that the demon starts with little insignificant poo poo, like little things going missing or things being found broken or whatever, and slowly ramps up the abuse until everybody in the house is completely physically and spiritually demoralized and exhausted, and once everybody's broken down, it goes for possession. All nonsense, of course, but realizing (and confirming later) that they were working off the same stuff I read as a kid made the movie that much more effective for me.

We don't even know for sure that the Operator kills people. The only thing we've actually seen it do is lurk, and occasionally we see it vanish at the same time somebody else does.

Up until he mentioned the symptoms, I was going "...what made Jay find this significant?" And then it's just "...oh."Pehther posted:So before 51. Tim's having the same symptoms Jay has. I dunno, that's it? Remember that these are tapes from the filming of Marble Hornets. These tapes take place before the series started.

Mixoux posted:I like how Tim mentioned that he was basically back to being normal until Jay came around flailing his camera everywhere. Alex said a similar thing about Slendy showing up and Amy dissappearing only once Jay started loving around with the tapes. I suddenly wonder if they're going for a whole Silent Hill 1 thing where Jay's the reason everything's going to hell, even though he has no way of knowing that.

Have we ever actually seen it articulate, though? We see it in motion, but aside from the head turn in entry 1, I don't remember it ever actually moving except for the whole thing moving at once (as in gliding along outside Alex's house in entry 6), so I figured it was just being pulled along on a skateboard.
