Hollywood in Memoriam (view source)
Revision as of 17:51, 27 February 2007
, 17:51, 27 February 2007Adding new information about the Academy Awards and how it pertains to the Year Zero story
The URL for this website was found as a result of an image on a USB drive at the Feb. 25, 2007 show in Manchester, UK. The image is titled [[:Image:Invitation.jpg|invitation]] and shows a destroyed Hollywood sign above the words "In Memoriam."
The site was found during the telecast of the 79th Annual Academy Awards, colloquially called the Oscars. Rumor has it the site was hinted at one hour before its discovery through a comment [[Trent Reznor]] made in [[The Spiral]] chat room:
Someone should blow up the Oscars.
===Content===
Provides background to the "dirty bomb" incident of -13BA (see [[Year Zero Timeline]] ).It started with a dirty bomb detonating at the 81st Annual Academy Awards. Shortly after more devices were detonated throughout the Los Angeles area.
Also lists names and photos of people who either went missing or died as a result of the attack. The main page is titled "Hollywood in Memoriam," while the secondary page is titled "Hollywood in Memorial."
===Background Text===
In yet another case of the importance of what appears to be random background text, there's a reference to Walt Whitman's [[Year_Zero_Research/Proven_Leads#Text_Collage_3_.22Caution.22|Caution.]] More information can be found at [[Year Zero Research/Proven Leads]].
This seems to contradict the current understanding of halo.track.letter, but perhaps indicates a 17th track of Year Zero.
==Miscellaneous Information==
A closer look at the image on the front page reveals that the winner for Best Picture at the Oscars is called "Silence." This is an actual film in pre-production as of February 2007 with Martin Scorsese directing. It's based on a book by Shusaku Endo and is about two seventeenth-century Jesuit priests who travel to Japan to check on missionary work but find that Japanese Christians are being tortured and brutalized by their own government.
