Case of the greatest trailer ever?

Jeffrey Wells argues this might just be the greatest movie trailer of all time. "Most trailers try to reach the lowest-common-denominator dolts. This one went for the PBS wine-and-cheese crowd, selling the choreography, Alex Thomson's awesome photography and the splendor of northern Italy's Dolomite mountains."

He points out it isn't even on this list from IFC.

Omaha Bitch - The Slow (2009)

This video is ridiculous. Kind of hard to even understand what is going on but lots of cheese rock, flower sniffing, bikini girls, water gun fights, whistling, and inflatable gator wresting. Would only be better if it was in French.

Can. Not. Look. Away.

Michael Jackson & Pepsi 1988

Another Michael Jackson oddity was that he was Pepsi rather than Coke. That explains everything. Or maybe Coke is just more awesomer. And of course Carlton aka Alfonso Ribeiro was the impersonating Jacko in this spot. Of course he was. Absolutely unbelievable. Pepsi fail?

Hardee's Jumps Shark Fonzie Style

Very funny Hardee's. Buscuit holes? Really? Well played. And really the website url is nameourholes.com. And yet, I'd eat one right now if they were in front of me. (Via Ad Freak.)

Michael Jackson & Britney Spears 2001

Carpet bombed with Michael Jackson news everywhere. Here's a forgotten 2001 performance with Britney Spears where Jackson pretends to be interested in Brit Brit while she struts around stage. MJ's death is like seeing into the future. Also enjoy how he spends a LOT of time touching his headset mike, which kind of defeats the purpose.

On a side note, heard Thriller a bunch of times last night. How did we even bear listening to that obnoxious song so many times. Ridiculous and it's now #1 at Amazon now. As if.

The Magic of Tronya

Suddenly remembered how amazing this scene from original Star Trek was. Ha ha ha. The tronya. Oh Balok, you're such a card.

The Chairman and Ed Drink Bud

Frank Sinatra and Ed McMahon in a hilarious 1968 Budweiser ad. Love the end tagline. Exit question: Would Frank have drunk Bud Light Lime? I sure hope so.

The Benny Hill theme at the end, priceless.

The Hangover

Dear The Hangover movie. You had me at Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis coming down the escalator Rain Man style. See also and in no particular order: Tiger, Mr. Chow, awkwardness of 'Holocaust ring', and end of movie slide show. That is all.

Infographics Of Amazingness

Flip Flop Fly Ball, is a very cool site that has a series of awesome infographics, mostly about baseball (but don't let that fact discourage you). This one is the shapes of the fields in MLB that he got from looking at Google. How did they come up with that.

This one the size of Boston's Green Monster is wicked too. (Via Kottke)

Royal Pains

Bless City TV for playing USA's Royal Pains at 9 on Sundays. Nice 2nd hour of prime time after True Blood. Kind of ridiculous, but like candy. Delicious sugary candy.

International Relations 100

Nice to see that while Iran fights for democracy, Paris Hilton is doing her part keeping up international relations and whatever. That's Hot. Democracy, whiskey, sexy!

Praise Be: The Pimms Cup

Was really happy to see the New York Times talk up the Pimms Cup this morning. Must be summer. This is absolutely something I need to master in the next couple of weeks.

“Let’s do a Pimm’s Cup,” I told the bartender. Fizzy, refreshing, a drink that thrives in sunshine: the perfect antidote. He grinned. “A very underappreciated drink,” he said, still smiling, as he fished a bottle of Pimm’s No. 1 from the rear row of bottles, like a cook thrilled to have found a use for the cardamom lurking way back in the spice cabinet.

Melting Beaches

Love these Perrier ads. This one is called Melt, Beach. Captures why I could drink bubbly water by the liter every day for like ever. There is also Melt, Club. Bubbly good.

The Lilyest Hobo

Speaking of mashups. How about a Lily Allen/Littlest Hob one? It's kind of another reason why they invented the Interwebs, isn't it? Uncanny.

Buffy vs Twilight

Absolutely love watching Buffy kick Robert Pattison's ass. You will too. Now how about a Buffy-Twilight-True Blood mash up. I'd do it myself, but I'm lazy, and you knew that already. Besides who would you root for - I mean besides dreamboat Robby Pattison getting a stake in his chest. Eric vs Buffy? Oh My.
