Lionel Messi Hugs?!

I don't like watching soccer, or sports in general. But it's hard to miss soccer these weeks. Lousy commercials on television, bad print ads and a lot of orange. How I don't like the color orange. But than all of a sudden you bump on a viral one 'Lionel Messi Hugs', I know the name, I know the brand, I had to think hard for which team Messi plays, but it doesn't matter. I like this one. Again simplicity rules! One thing though, a pity they didn't shoot it in the streets. On the other hand probably that would have created a riot.

Messi for Head & Shoulders. Is Head & Shoulders taking a turn? I hope so, I hope they're going to create more of these. Does anyone knows which agency did this?

Shock Effect

Shock effect to promote a film. Does it work? The first and most recent one to promote the horror movie Devil’s Due ... Right in your face! The second one is a bit older to promote Carrie ... A bit nicer.

But does it work? The only positive effects I can see is the amount of YouTube viewers. And a couple of almost heart attacks. Do they have to ask permission of the 'victims'? I guess so. Well at least they have their one minute of fame.

Dancing Coca-Cola Bottles

Dancing Coca-Cola Bottles by KORB.

"Dancing Coca-Cola bottles have been leaping inside our computers quite a long time. We created this Coca-Cola promo film for Eyeka co-creation community contest in 2010. As there were no scenario restrictions we have decided to withdraw this massively popular product from tradicional soft drink’s settings and interpreted it just as well-recognizable object, red topped white glass bottle with brown drink inside. This is what happens when legendary image meets sounds of the harp in sterile neutral space."

The Nyan Cat Variations

Cool!

“Nyan Cat Variations” by Craig Davis Pinson is a 17 minute musical composition for classical ensemble based on the infamous Nyan Cat theme. It was performed by the Juventas New Music Ensemble at The Boston Conservatory on February 9.

"This is a set of variations written on the melody heard in the Youtube video Nyan Cat [original]. It is an experiment, in which I tried to find the limits of how far I could transform the melody before it begins losing its identity. The theme is known as Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!, originally posted by username daniwellP on the Japanese video sharing website, Nico Nico Douga. The Nyan Cat phenomenom has become ingrained in popular culture, and amazes me both in its sheer absurdity and its freakishly colossal popularity. However, fascinating as they are to me, the origins of the theme are not played upon in this composition. Instead, I treated Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! as pure musical material from which to generate music. The motivation to use this theme came from my repeated viewings of the video, and slowly realizing that it is a strangely alluring melody. Therefore, this is my tribute to Nyan Cat."

O Sole Mio

1 minute of fame + a bit more.

"We told the cook it was our friend Nicole's birthday. He sang her a song. Show this man some love! You can see Pizza Dude in person at The Stage Door East Deli, located on 43 Milbar blvd Farmingdale, NY 11735."



and here an interview with the singing pizza guy

Happy 2012!

What would 2012 be without Nyan Cat.

Turn An Angry Voicemail Into A Viral

We do not tolerate people that talk or text in the theater. In fact, before every film, we have several warnings on screen to prevent such happenings. Occasionally, someone doesn't follow the rules, and we do, in fact, kick their asses out of our theater. This video is an actual voicemail from a woman that was kicked out of one of our Austin theaters. Thanks, anonymous woman, for being awesome.
