Okay, I nearly missed this commercial because I don’t like beer. In fact, if Leonard hadn’t said something on twitter, I totally would have missed it. That would have been a shame because this might be the best commercial of this year’s Super Bowl.
Basically, it starts out like a Bud Light commercial. But then suddenly …. well, just watch it:
Game of Thrones will be returning to HBO soon. The Bud Knight, meanwhile, appears to be gone forever….
Well, this year there was slim pickings far as Super Bowl ads go, with the exception of some of the new film trailers (can’t wait for AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR ). The one ad that did stand out for me had a decidedly New England flavor, featuring Steven Tyler of Boston’s own Aerosmith travelling back in time in – no, not a Delorean, but a Kia!:
Dream On indeed, Steven!
“Oh hell yeah!” I shouted as I watched this.
2018 is going to be a good year.
Burn, baby, burn!
This is actually the second Super Bowl commercial to feature John Krasinski. He’s also the director and (I believe) one of the starts of A Quiet Place.
I’d be lying if I ever said that, while I was watching him on The Office, I ever imagined that John Krasinski would become an action star. However, it appears that he’s managed to do just that.
The Cloverfield Paradox drops on Netflix … TONIGHT! Right after the Super Bowl!
Here’s the commercial:
Who would have guessed that Tom Cruise would eventually become a more convincing secret agent than Daniel Craig?
Here’s the Super Bowl teaser for the latest film to star future President Dwayne Johnson, Skyscraper!
Why do people in movies always make the mistake of messing with Dwayne Johnson? Don’t they realize that he’s indestructible?
Castle Rock, the latest big Hulu series, is based on the writings of Stephen King. This Super Bowl commercial gets things off to the right start by name dropping Shawshank Prison and then going on to create an effectively creepy atmosphere.
(Usually, I tend to be skeptical about Stephen King adaptations but, with the success of both It and Gerald’s Game last year, I’ll be more than happy to take a chance on Castle Rock!)
Glee, Part 2?
