THIS IS AN OMM CREATED MESSAGE

A visit to www.sen5241.net produces a futuristic site, something akin to a case file for someone "named" SEN 5241. Given the site's references to THX-1138, the frequent appearance of "OMM" -- the computerized prophet in the movie -- and the fact that the person shown on the page is clearly Donald Plesance as he appeared in the movie, it seems pretty clear that this is a faux site to promote the (re)release of the movie.

A couple of other similarly-themed sites have been found from references within this site, such as www.subcitycentral.net -- the site for the central government for the THX world, perhaps? In addition, people on unforum are reporting getting coded messages about interest in SEN by "unidentified subjects" and warnings of dire actions to come.

So something is going on; exactly what remains to be seen.
