 		This may or may not be significant, but in the History section of the Slusho website, it says that "Noriko loved libations so much..." Kind of a left-field word to use when you look at the overall style of the writing. Libation refers to the offering of a drink to a God.

I haven't seen anyone mention this before, so here goes.

At 1:35, you can clearly see the number plate on a car which reads "ABZ-3293".

If you look up "ABZ" on Google, you'll find that it's a drug used to treat Echinococcus, which is a parasitical infection which can affect both livestock and human beings. Of course, we know the creature in this movie is being referred to as "The Parasite"... so yeah.

Whether this is a total coincidence or not, who knows? I just thought it'd be worth mentioning since everyone and their dog have their theories about this movie and the trailer.

Edit: More info on ABZ:
Albendazole, marketed as Albenza, Eskazole or Zentel, is a member of the benzimidazole compounds used as a drug indicated for the treatment of a variety of worm infestations. Although this use is widespread in the United States, the FDA has not approved albendazole for this indication.

It is effective against

threadworms or pinworms
roundworms,
whipworms
tapeworms
hookworms


And yes, someone registered a domain today with ABZ3293 but it's almost 100% guaranteed fake.

 		I thought at first that if you zoomed in on the horse's bubbles you might be able to click on them as they go by. I tried it, and I was able to click on the bubbles, but nothing happened. There may be another criterion for activating the button, like clicking on it only when "Slusho zoom!" appears.

Rob1855, a Flash developer can turn off the plugin menu in a Flash movie with a simple parameter in the embed code. Someone probably saw you guys talking about hitting "Play" and making the movie start over, thereby loading additional copies of the photos, and decided that they didn't want us doing that because it won't lead to anything in-game.

 		The pictures are the same but they are ticking on their own now once you pull them apart. I was never able to get them to tick before.

 		K, well, so its a simple flash, the ticking is random, and lotsa other stuff we have(n't) figured out about http://www.1-18-08.com/.

What if the clue(s) are not that technical? What if the movable, moving photos themselves suggests something? Is there anything that would make photos turn like that?
Just trying to think outside the box a little, in case we're on the wrong track altogether.


Also, the 9 or 6 or whatever (could easily be an eight, tbh) on scary ladies shirt glows the same way the slush-logo on glass-boys shirt does, maybe suggesting we should take a second look in the trailer for that woman and whats on her shirt?

i thought she was turned sideways, and the black was her top. i thought the bright thing (6, 9, doughnut) was on the wall or on something orange in front of the wall.

As i said here,
theres another clue
the statue of libirty's head has indents in it.
they are straight, which might support the idea that cthulhu's tenticles gripped it.

 		Libate
Libations has another general interpretation....it's used in reference to mixed drinks....in a bar....with alcohol. Like the 2 bars set up at Rob's party and the slusho guy feeing Rob a libation of some sort or another.

And, since Rob seems to be the main dude, slusho guy is offering the libation to the main dude....kinda like the story ;-p

tinag222, it seems like what youre saying suggests that the second picture was put on the page to point us in the direction of the guy with the slusho-shirt in the trailer? If so, what clue in the trailer would the first picture point us at, you think?


I don't know for sure that was their intent....again, the logic works out after the fact without holes so ya never know....and if that *was* the case, I was suggesting staying on that train to understand the clue in the original picture they presented us of the girls in distress....and that's what I came up with on the last post on it.

The clue in the trailer - from the presumption of seeing it in the theater on giant screen where it would be more noticeable to someone out there - was the scene of them gathered around the news report and the guy turns toward the camera asking if they might can see something from the roof. As he turns and moves toward us, a clear but brief shot of his logo tshirt is in view which is the slusho cup....

Some speculated it wasn't the same guy in Pic 2 because he had blonde hair, but that was a brightness from the flash. Following is the guy showing the shirt, and another of both together noting the matches that the guy in Pic two is slusho shirt guy.

And that's what I mean by hiding this in plain sight - it's the subtle shit we're not looking at, too focused on cryptogram embedded puzzles.

Look at the obvious stuff presented and then look closer at the subtle things that seem incidental....but actually turn out to be the glaring clues.

 		Ethan Haas and Cloverfield not connected?
JJ Abrams is saying he has nothing to do with the Ethan Haas site everyone is talking about.
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33261
There are more websites about this movie but we have yet to find them. He is saying the clues are in the pics. I think we knew that one already!

 		I've got nothing really important to add, but I had the chance to super-zoom in on the Slusho sea-horse and there's nothing there. Here's a decent-sized version for everyone to check out. I had to photoshop in the tip of the ear and the bottoms to some of the hoofs because I could only screencap so much at a time, but it's all there. Or, to be more precise, it's all wasn't there to begin with...
SLUSHO! ZOOM!

 		Hey guys I am new to this site, but I had a few theorys I wanted to share. But they are quite long. Again I am new, sorry if this is in the wrong place.


Picture from site:


If you notice the woman on the lefts hair, her lock of hair seems to contain a reflection of the flash from the camera. But within the reflection you can see what seems to be some sort of creature. With a reptilian like head...and if you follow down, a long and narrow skeleton like body. There is also a shadow being drawn over the person on the rights, face...but it is hard to tell what that is. As you can see there both looking up, as if there looking right at the creature.

Quote:

1964 - Plans are revealed for the World Trade Center in New York City.

1977 - Scientists identify a previously unknown bacterium as the cause of the mysterious Legionnaires' disease.

1994 - The Cando event, a possible bolide impact in Cando, Spain. Witnesses claim to have seen a fireball in the sky lasting for almost one minute.

2000 - The strange Tagish Lake meteorite impacted the Earth.


This comes up when you searched "January 18th" on Wiki.

Could have some significance?
