T-He: Don Draper Says “What?”
If you are familiar with the show Mad Men on AMC then you might have noticed Don Draper’s (Jon Hamm) consistent use of the word, “What?”. Or maybe he just says it so much that it just comes natural and flies right past you. If you have never seen Mad Men then perhaps this video might not be as funny to you. Check it out after the break! WHAT?
Nostalgia: 15 Years of Fox Searchlight
Established in 1994, Fox Searchlight has released many memorable films that have stuck with movie goers for over the past 15 years. Specializing in independent and British films, along with dabbling in horror, dramedies, and a few foreign films, Fox Searchlight has brought us some of the most personable characters and inspiring moments in cinematic history. From releases to The Full Monty, Slumdog Millionaire, Juno, Garden State and many more, Fox Searchlight asked Kees van Dijkhuizen, a video editor who has created other montages looking back at film from 2008 and 2009, to develop a short video showcasing their works over the past 15 years. You can check the nostalgic video after the jump along with another video created by another film fanatic as well.
T-He: Waverly Films’ ‘Clown’ Trailer
Waverly Films, a few amateur filmmakers out of Brooklyn, created a fun fake trailer to a “Eli Roth” movie that made even Eli Roth tweet, “This is so good even I thought it was real…I WANT TO SEE CLOWN!!” Clown looks like it could be a great B-movie horror, but I doubt we’ll ever see this anytime soon. If you’ve seen the fake trailers during the intermission of Grindhouse, then you know what this kind of trailer is aiming for. This is great!
I think these guys make ICP jealous. Check out the faux trailer after the break!
T-He: Volkswagen’s “See Film Differently”
Volkswagen has more on their mind then just automobiles. VW has been seen sponsoring various film festivals these days and have been really taken with the industry. The See Film Differently campaign has been reignited after a few cute print ads that surfaced last year. The new campaign is focused on locations rather than cars within film. VW is calling it, “Turning the Camera On Locations,” visiting “a number of iconic film locations to see what effect the movies have had on the everyday lives of those who work there.” I love this idea. It is fun and the concept of imagining what real working people have to deal with when tourists visit must be a laugh and a headache.
Riding on the nostalgia train, Volkswagen has picked two infamous movie locations for TV spots focusing on Ghostbusters and When Harry Met Sally. You can check out the fun little videos after the break!
Team Unicorn’s “Geek and Gamer Girls” Music Video
Team Unicorn, a group of lovely ladies promoting the existence of Gamer/Geek girls in the world, have come together to create a parody video of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls.” This is just the start of what I would assume to be an ongoing collaboration of musical numbers, skits, and fun videos expressing the love of gamer/geek girls. The core group consists of Michele Boyd (The Guild), Clare Grant (Robot Chicken), Milynn Sarley, and Rileah Vanderbilt (Hatchet).
Their big hit debut, “G33k & G4m3r Girls” also known as the “Geek and Gamer Girls Song,” was directed by David Yarvo and premiered early September. Within a week, the music video gained over one million views on Break.com. With appearances by Seth Green (husband of Clare Grant), Stan Lee, and Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff, full nerdery was in order. Check out the awesome video after the break!
T-He: Hilariously Creepy Snickers Halloween Commercial
Yayyy Snickers! Holidays bring the best out in advertisers, but the best holiday I could think of to be creative would be Halloween. This great new creepy Snickers ad is absolutely eerie and amusing. The costume in this commercial reminds me of the horrible horror gem The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. Check out the ad spot after the break for a good time along with some great Burger King Halloween print ads from last year!
T-He: Disney’s Blam! Parody of Up
Can you make light of any situation? These guys at MaltBisney sure can. Shred some zonky sound effects and throw in some gnarly skater lingo and you got yourself an extreme video! Disney’s Blam! originally focused on funny faults of cartoon characters, but these guys took it one step further with Pixar’s Up. Check out the heartless yet some how funny video after the break. BLAM!
T-He: Everything You Really Need to Know About Blockbuster’s Bankruptcy
The Consumerist has devised this “gross oversimplification” of Blockbuster vs. Netflix. How sad.
Alternate Deleted Iron Man 2 Opening Sequence
If you were puzzled as to why Pepper Potts never kissed Tony’s helmet goodbye like in the trailer, than you are in for a treat. With the release of the Iron Man 2 DVD/Blu-Ray coming out soon, the alternate opening sequence with this footage was leaked and can be watched now before it will probably be pulled down.
I really enjoyed this opener and gave more of a sense of Tony Stark’s alcohol abuse and made the introduction more fun like in the first movie. Director Jon Favreau decided to cut this from the beginning to give Iron Man more of a bigger entrance and not so much of a comedic opening. Check it out after the break and ask yourself, why wasn’t this put in here?!
