Wow, If we start putting all the clues together,

" Our first release is at this time a total secret, however – I’m willing to say it makes “Manos the Hands of Fate” look like “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” in a car wreck with “Eegah!” with notes of peach."

"Also, in the news: I’ve just been interviewed by Lucasfilm online, in anticipation of Cinematic Titanic’s first live show and world premiere in San Francisco in December. We will link to that story as soon as it is released. Sorry, but this special live show is a closed event for I.L.M/Lucasfilm employees and guests only. As of this writing we are still negotiating some of the fine points, however I am pleased to mention that they’ve granted us the rights to offer this event to you, the friends of Cinematic Titanic, remotely and slightly after the fact - stay tuned."

"The name of the film we'll be riffing on is a secret, but I'll try to tempt you with some vague descriptions: it's very rare, it's very strange, and it's of questionable quality."

It is of the standards to be complared with "Manos the Hands of Fate", "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and "Eegah", those are some very low standards. So whatever this film is it has to be a real dog, worse than a dog actually, it has to be a dead rotting carcass of a dog. Then Lucasfilm is involved and the event if for Lucasfilm/I.L.M. employees and their guests. They had to have negotiations with Lucasfilm inorder to get permission to release a recording of the event to us. The film very rare, very strage, and of questionable quality.

Man, that really seems to point to the HS, and the only evidence we have against it is a brand new poster who signed up just to say it is not the case because a secondary source told him (not trying to put you down man, but you know how it goes, there is really nothing to verify anything). So as far as official info, I'd say we are still at the Howard the Duck or HS place. Though Howard the Duck just sucks, it is not really Manos quality. Or really that strange in comparison to man kids films. And while it has never seen an official DVD release, it has been availible on for a long time. So yeah, my best guess now is the HS. Either that or something we have never heard of.
