An Ode to No One


How do you know how to play the game if you don't know it exists?  If Edgar didn't want to play an easter egg hunt with everybody,then what's this basket of them doing here?  It looks somewhat to me as though Edgar had a plan he was willing to share, at least at one point, but instead he just left the whole thing to spoil.  It almost appears that some of the eggs are cracked or deformed even (to put it in metaphor).  It's a very ridged and daunting task he's cooked up to have just laying around.  Obviously there has been no leads provided, nothing easily detectible anyway, and E.W. has never slowed down on the way to his next film.  Maybe he's expecting someone to just come out with it (tried that) and I guess that's a little of what I'm doing now, but what can I say?

Not much in regards to that.  I have no idea, and my suspicions are all that account for anything during the process of this discovery.  This is more of an invisible puzzle than an easter egg hunt.  I discovered this via "weird coincidence" that turned into speculations.  One of which is that all parties or individuals involved in this movie were under contract NOT to say anything.  That's the way the movie industry works after all. 

Actors and every participant are forced to sign their name, waving all rights to talk about the film until after it's release typically.  In this case, somehow I feel there must have been a clause scripted about it that may mean even the actors know but can't say a word.  There's no telling until this has become proven by enough people that it becomes fact, but it makes sense to me. 

Could it be that Edgar did the final editing himself, so as to mask his creation under utmost secrecy?  That's really not likely.  A director's cut is still only coupled with the skills of the film editor, and to have full control over the final product without anyone else "in" on it is a pretty ridiculous notion.  The final cut is laid out very precisely with the musical backdrop in play, and it has still taken ME many, many hours to just sync it up correctly.  Video editors will know what I'm talking about.  And a sound technician knows that a millisecond can make all the difference in the world.  In other words, that's a ton of work for one man who doesn't want anyone to know what he's doing.

But this just furthers the strangeness of it.  It's been 4 years and not a word.  He had to have had helpers and there must be some circle who know.  That's enough to incite conspiracy in the mind isn't it?  Is it possible this project was dropped?  Or did Edgar not expect it to be so long for someone to find out?  Why are there no leads?

To be honest, I would still like to get a word from Edgar Wright before it's all completely out there.  Alas I am but a silent star who's mail get's put in a stack with the others.  If I was more on my game I'd be riding his coat tails as much as the next trendy, but as I said before I'm not that pop savvy.

Even without any foreknowledge as to how this came into existence, the evidence is there, and it does not detract from the experience earned when seeing it come together.  I WILL post a detailed map of the whole thing and how it works, eventually, but I really think unless you do the hunt yourself, you won't get the pleasure of discovering it on your own.  This is kinda like the new Wizard of OZ and Dark Side of the Moon.  The only difference is it's not an accident, and in many respects it's going to be way cooler.

Wright was very specific about the scene changes, amongst everything else, so you might want to do some experimenting with what appears to be the video to the music.  Ultimately this will lead you to find out a major discrepancy with the track layout, and once that happens, hopefully something will click and you will find the missing piece of the invisible puzzle. 

So I got a new method for you to find out how this all works.  The scene above depicts where the song "Love" appears in the film.  But before this battle comes into play, I want you to start ahead of the game with one of my favorite MCIS pieces, "An Ode to No One".  You're gonna have to feel it out some.  Maybe you'll get it wrong the first few times, but you'll see something going on.  There are obvious theatrics playing a part of the music if you can just get it to be in harmony.  The setting of where to start will be when Scott and Ramona first spend the night together after their first date, on the morning after...
  
Good luck
