I am not one of those people who says, "I love that commercial!" On the contrary, I do a great job of tuning them out (to a fault -- references to commercials are the most consistent pop culture references that go flying over my head). Weirdly, I heard this one playing from the other room and couldn't believe what the voice over was saying about Immortals. It's truth in advertising to the extreme and admirably doesn't take seriously what obviously shouldn't be taken seriously in the first place. Won't spoil it here, but full text is below:
"From the producers of 300 comes a movie that's so stunningly visual and so awesomely violent that we can only show it to you in very small bits. It's got super hot oracle chicks, lots of cool muscley guys, and everyone is gonna kill everyone else."
Fucking poetry.
Points for honesty, at least?

Awesome!

What! That's even weirder considering it's Tarsem Singh's follow-up to The Fall and The Cell. Amazing.

Amazing. I loooooooooooove pop culture's specific uses of language, and this, for its comically absurd stripped-down honesty, is a revelation. Holy shit!

Targeted marketing at its finest.

Which do you think is the best commercial ever?Links to videos are well accepted.

Wow! I actually was not expecting it to be that AWESOME (!)
Is this actually shown in TV?
Very catching... Is this audiovisuals advertising's last resort?
"let's just be blunt about our manipulation" or something of the sort
I love it

Looks pretty CGIey to me. I'm sure I'll waste my money on it anyway though.

I am dying to hear what you have to say about the Pot Ledom-Hobbit video challenge this week. What a glorious new low!

I found the pronunciation interesting, why leedum, instead of leadum or ledom?
Posted by: matthew (hardcore ANTMer) | November 05, 2011 at 05:54 AM
that is almost insulting considering this movie is made by the same guy who gave us The Cell and The Fall. It's going to be a visual masterpiece as usual.

Thanks for sharing!

LOL! That was hilarious! I wonder who made the script. He or she's probably a fan of frightening and epic movies. I laughed when you said you won't spoil it here, yet you shared the full text. Hehe, did you ever think about watching this?
