[SPEC][OBSERVATIONS] Do you see similarities? In the slusho commercial I noticed many people thought the "mermaid-diver-person-type-thing" was hitting the picture with the hammer. To me it looked like he/she/it was hanging the picture:
Then I noticed in the widget video that there was a picture hanging above the television when they are watching the news after the power outage:
To me they look like they are hanging in the same orientation. I just thought that there may be some significance. If not, I am sorry for taking up space.
What do you all think?

I think it's more similar to the picture that the guy in the slusho commercial is looking in the beginning. If anyone has a screen cap that would be great!

I thought maybe the orientation was the only similarity. I also thought the pic the guy was looking at was the same as the one the diver was holding.
IMO: If the diver was intentionally hanging the pic crooked, it might hold some significance, but that is just grasping at straws.

When you review the exclusive, you will notice that all, or a goodly majority, of the pictures are hung at the wierd angle which the mermaid holds the picture in the commercial.
Otherwise, I am not seeing the colors and shapes matching up in the two pictures. Some one tried to get a better resolution of the commerical's picture but to no avail.
I do agree though, that the picture in the commerical holds some significance. Also, the fact that the 'mermaid' has a hammer and an oven mitt on.

I don't think it would be relevant to the plot of the movie per se, more likely (if anything) it would be relevant to the game. I personally do not think the point of the ARG is to spoil the plot. Who knows, maybe if they wanted your attention on that frame, there is something being said at that point that is relevant, or something of the like.
Just trying to contribute by sharing what jumps out at me.

That is one hell of a stretch of the imagination we've got here.

Even if they are related, what does that do for us? Relate the widget and slusho? Pretty sure we've already established that connection.

this place sucks sometimes. cut the kid some slack. stranger, more pointless theories have been posted here.
personally, i think maybe the pic from the trailer could look like the slusho pic, but upside-down.
and for what it's worth, you know those aliens from the simpsons? i can kind of see one of those guys. lol.

This might have been discussed, or might even have it's own thread (if so, I apologize, but I can't find it), but is there any relevance to the picture frame in the Slusho! commercial itself? It appears several times, is isolated in the room so that nothing else is seen other than the man, and is clearly ignored by everyone until the end scenes where it is being carried away...
Can anyone figure out just what exactly is the picture in the frame?

Its strange, but i just wanted to say, after trailer#3 arrived...
While watching it for the first time i thought, 'hey, i bet at the party we see that framed picture on the wall'.
But at this point of the game...I think toooo much...
...And most of it makes little sence...
