Ahh Sony... kings of "Let's make an ad with the barest link with the actual products, but really nice to watch to get people to know the brand"
I mean it works, don't get me wrong, but really, do you know anything more about their products from this? Nope.
But that's not really the point of marketing these days is it?
LOL Sony are the kings of this? that's debatable, one of the many other thousands of examples http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlHUz99l-eo
Even when ads are informative they hardly educate the consumer on the product. Those kind of commercials are almost nonexistant.

I have to say, I don't think Michael Bay is as bad as people think he is... he IS bad when he tries to be serious, maybe one day he'll learn how to actually do a serious flick, but he can't at the moment.
When it comes to big, fun, tongue in cheek action, I have to say... I enjoy his stuff. Transformers? Great flick, really doesn't take itself seriously, and is wonderful fun for it. Bad Boys? Hey, I find it entertaining and funny. The Island... actually started out well and started to demonstrate that with time he may be able to do a serious flick... but dissolved into pointless action. Armageddon shits me because it's terrible, but I remember tearing up at it all the while going 'This is blatent emotional triggering. The Rock, despite some terrible lines that are truly cringe worthy (Sean Connery talking about screwing the prom queen or whatever it was) it too was great fun.
He's good at films that are great fun, great escapism, but not deep in any sense of the word.
Boll on the otherhand creates films that have you being wrenched out of your suspension of disbelief every other minute to say 'Oh my god that was a terrible line', or 'What ham fisted acting', or 'What? Why the hell did that just happen?'
This is the man who made this for god's sake, he WANTS to be Michael Bay, he WANTS to be the other directors... check out the horrendous misuse of 'bullet time' in that clip... not for any betterment of the scene at all, he seems to direct with a checklist:
[ ] 'Hardcore' soundtrack
[ ] The latest fad camera techniques
[ ] Blood
[ ] Swearing
[ ] Nudity if possible
Do these things have to fit into the film, or the scenes? Nope, he just figures that a good movie have those things.
The fact that he took to punching his critics in the ring speaks of his complete inability to take criticism, he is a seriously sad and angry little man.
I saw some videos on Youtube of "just" the Sony Commerical, but the quality was dreadful, and I like the pitch bit lol

I did love this movie when it came out, was that where the slogan 'Volvo, they're boxy, but they're good' came from?
What motivated me to write this specifically were your comments on "How to Ruin a Trip to the Museum" where you pretty much took the thoughts and emotions that I had experienced and described them perfectly.
So yeah, take care! And thanks!

What this shows more than anything was that it was never really the 'house of the future' as it was touted, but moreso a whopping big ad for using plastics for everything...
In reply to this comment by spoco2:
Argh! That darn bishop... Why do we need to have some mythical figure to 'turn to' in times of need? That's just a coping mechanism and an easy way out. The BETTER way to cope in such times is to find constructive outlets for whatever anger, hatred etc. there might be, or find solace and comfort in family and friends in times of need.
Just incredibly narrow minded to not believe that humans are capable of functioning REALLY WELL without having to pile any issues they have on a phantom dude with beard in the sky.
And the horrible tone of this piece such that athiests are some weird, out there group, and wow, isn't is amazing they can make friends.
Fuck you mainstream US tv... fuck you big time. This is the sort of condescending bullshit that makes Atheists seethe. We're not as abnormal as you may think you know.

Hey, thanks muchly... he is indeed incredible, I hope he comes to little ol' Australia to perform sometime as I'd love to see this in person.

Don't know how I missed this one earlier, but it's beautiful. I'll promote it the next time my power points are "recharged".

Right, off to SiftTalk to me I don't understand...
Ok, back now, I do understand, and I'm kinda happy about it... sort of, although I feel I may never see another one of my videos get out of the queue now...

Yeah, I knew you'd bring up that you don't use it for protection... damn you!
But a lot of people use that as an excuse.
Look, for my money, no sport is worth having a very deadly weapon in the house for. Sure, you can kill someone with all manner of items, but dangit, if a gun just isn't a really efficient way to do so. Just me I guess.
In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
Hmm. I see your point there, but I don't keep a gun for protection. I have it for hunting. However, you can simply hide the key where they aren't going to find it, like in the basemet ni yuor tool chest, or maybe in their mom's underwear drawer. After all, what kid wants to touch their moms underwear?
In reply to this comment by spoco2:
You can, but then you get the arguments of "Well, if it's under lock and key, and the ammo is in another place etc. then what's the use come a break in, I can't get it in time".
It works for me, by and large, although the problem with keeping anything under lock and key is that kids will invariably find said items. When it comes to booze and adult media, if they're old enough to find where a key is hidden then the contents are fairly unlikely to do them any harm... with a gun, not so much...

You keep your liquor under lock and key.
Not trying to be argumentive here, but why can't you take that same logic and apply it to firearms in the house?
In reply to this comment by spoco2:
Yeah, it makes me shudder to think of a setup like that with kids around... and while you don't so it's cool, there are people who DO have that. Man, the thought of any of my kids (all under 5yrs) finding it, and playing with it until an accident... uuuurgh.
In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
But I'm not saying I wouldn't use it for protection. I won't ever need to, break-ins around here just aren't that frequent. I do however keep my ammo in my gun case unlocked and under my bead. I have the foam cut out for two racks of ammo to sit in there. It looks bad-ass
I am, however, 22 and have no kids.

Haha, yeah.
