The 4th photo

Hey all, 1st time poster on this one.

I don't believe it's been noted, but if you move the 4th photo, and just leave it, every 5 seconds or so, it'll rotate slightly clockwise on its own.

Could it be anything?

It's the work of digital sound effects artists and foley artists consulting over the theoretical sounds that a huge statue of liberty head would make if thrown at that velocity with that spin on it. It has a distinct metallic reverberation with an oscillation due to the spinning, and a pitch adjustment to simulate a doppler effect. If you'd like to authenticate or disprove the sound, feel free to either build your own life size SOL head and a trebuchet large enough to whip it through the air at the correct velocity and spin, or drink more slusho and become a monster capable of tearing the real statue's head off and flinging it.

In other words, I wouldn't read too much into the sound the statue of liberty's head makes as it's flying through the air. It's like questioning the sound effect that the phaser makes on Star Trek or the sound those huge spaceships make when they fire their primary weapons in Independence Day.

Or the sound that any spacecraft makes in space. Sound waves don't travel through a vacuum! Laughing

Do you think this will surely be about a monster(s)? Could be a pandemic type film, like something from space crashes onto earth with alien like substances causing a plague controlling people.

yeah, definetly have no idhttp: been looking at products in store and there is a brand named fresh? but then look at only available at sephora and online only you get http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P42592&categoryId=C11482ea

then moving on looking at Galen he is mentioned in the info section. He had a formula using compounds of medicine to treat people more effectively.

I found prt of the chemical compound and there is part of the creme that is alcohol which is libations!! Its somewhere in that compound.
Pentylene Glycol
I found this in accordance to that specific ingredient, I have a feeling I have just gone to far, but this is my first ARG and it is definetly a new lead!! so here it is
(click for long URL)

come on give some feedback what does everyone think??
the product does not seem to great if used in big doses!!

Girl here. Laughing

I'm not saying that there's nothing at Sephora worth looking at, but Fresh has been around for a while- this product in particular! In fact, you will start to go nuts looking at their web site because most of the cosmetics have alcohol somewhere in the ingredients.

Also, the more you dig, the more you will find whole lines of products dedicated to slushy "libations" like margaritas and pina coladas!

Though... come to think of it... I recollect one of them being blue. Perhaps there is something hidden on one of the product pages? Didn't Jeep do some video clue for the Lost ARG? I think it might be a good lead (just maybe not this one- though I'm curious to try it out now- do you work for them?)

And someone had mentioned "why bother" for putting "high end" cosmetics in a movie... Let me tell you, Sephora is a phenomenon amongst women my age (20's-30's= big part of target audience) and in New York it is even hotter! I even know guys who ONLY buy their shampoo there. Wink

Re: crazy thoughts

perhaps i'm going utterly nuts here, or perhaps someone else has already posted this.

the license plate:

clearly, from what i could look up on images of NY plates, this aint one of em. it's a seven character arrangement, ABZ-(can't remember the rest). which, if we go alpha-numeric, gives us 1226-****. or, if we take Z as a single character and combine it's digits, 128-****, a standard american 7-digit phone #, lacking an area code. plug in a NY area code, or a 1800, and we just might have something.

or i'm just crazy, either way.

I saw mention of this earlier too, and I'm not sure if someone tried it or not. ABZ-3293 is a strange plate number and IS formated exactly like a phone number. By the keypad it would convert to 229-3293

So there's no area code. 800 and 866 don't work. 888 is VERY strange- beeping and whatnot. If someone wants to play with the tones, the worst it could be is some FAX machine (though I've never heard one quite like that). Plus, it hangs up on you after it goes through the tones.

But what about AKM? Others have mentioned that this would be an odd fraternity for Rob to belong to. 256 is an area code for Alabama, according to google.

That would give 256 229-3293 (sorry Alabama person, if you are not IG... I'm at work, so I could only dial the toll-free ones.)

Okay, I'll be quiet now. I had no internet access all weekend so I'm, trying to catch up.

Already covered - and all of the photos do this, not just the fourth. Some people seem to think it's a glitch, others think it's significant. I don't think it's a glitch - if it was a glitch, it would be a repeating one, not a random one. The images rotate different ways each time you refresh, and they rotate at different speeds. That said, I don't think it's significant either. I just think it's...there.

Well, if you go through each product page individually, yes. But if there is a clue on one of the product pages, I'm sure it won't be found by manually looking for it.

Hm. A Thought...

I just had a thought. The auto response from Slusho!'s website comes from satoshiSPLATslusho.jp. Anyone considered(or tried) sending an email to anyone mentioned on the history page?

Yes, people have tried sending e-mails to as many names as they could think of. Dead end so far.

here is what I have so far

ok so lets see here. In the trailer the letters AKM (Alpha Kappa Mu) appear. Alpha Kappa Mu was founded the day that Lovecraft died. Also if you take 12:32 and 63 Degrees to me the coordinates 12 32 63 then you come up with the location of Cetus the Whale. So from there I did a search on Whales and Lovecraft to find a short story by the name of Dagon in which a whale is mentioned (but it is a hieroglyphs). So now the question I have is what does the hieroglyphic symbol of the whale mean. Also worth mentioning is if you search "hieroglyphics whale" you get a chapter from the book Moby Dick.

I'm new here so sorry if this is all pointless

Trailer

Does anyone have a copy of the trailer that can be emailed? I am at work and our IT department figured out how to block the streaming media and I want a copy to look at when people say " Hey look at the trailer at :24.....check out the......" So if anyone has a copy and can send it I would really appreciate it.
