While I’d rather forget everything about yesterday’s game, I’d be remiss if I didn’t post this link to Metlife’s “Everyone” commercial, which features guest appearances by He-Man, Battle Cat and Voltron, among others. Is everyone in this commercial owned by Warner Bros.?
OK, so I’m willing to bet most of you have already seen these. But I’m posting them anyway, because I like them. This amazing recreation of the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark (right down to the chin rub) was done by Jeff Gurwood. I’m not sure if this is safe for work [...]
UPDATE: Some Poesters feel very strongly that the original video, complete with credits, be given its due. Very well. My college roommate Jim passed this on to me. Evidently when you go to the Black Brewing Company’s website and are prompted to confirm that you’re over 21 (you may need to disable Adblock to see [...]
Funny to think that Spawn, which never had a kids’ cartoon* and was a very adult-oriented comic book featuring lots of murder, death, and dark religious imagery, had ads for toys on daytime kids’ television. Loving the Malebolgia cameo. * But of course it did have an adult-oriented HBO animated series.
After watching this ad, I realized I must have seen it a hundred times as a kid because the insipid theme song was way too familiar. Notice how the ad says “For you and your kid” at the end there? A tribute to Pee-Wee’s generation-crossing appeal? Or a warning that any kid given this toy [...]
First off, all credit to Newton Gimmick of Infinite Hollywood for finding this. This commercial was made entirely using Bandai’s upcoming Bandai S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla figure, which is Bandai’s answer to the Revoltech monsters like Baragon and Anguirus of last year. There’s also going to be a MonsterArts MechaGodzilla, but it’s the boring 1994 version. [...]
I’m guessing this is someone’s video of an old MOTU commercial that was being shown by Mattel at SDCC this year (for instance, note the swelling Star Wars music in the background). According to one of the commenters on Youtube, this video was actually made by Filmation to help sell the series to TV, but [...]
Shows how out of the loop I am–evidently some enterprising He-Fans have made a documentary about the controversy surrounding who invented He-Man. I’ve touched on this before, but to my knowledge it’s never been examined as deeply as these filmmakers have gone about it. I’d like to hope that it will settle the Roger Sweet/Mark [...]
Wow. The stereotype of the 1980s yuppie obsessed with technology, particularly the then-new technology of mass market video cameras, has paid off for us in spades, folks. Some wise soul–specifically, the father of YouTube user sammyb7883–sacrificed a videocassette that could have been used to tape that night’s rerun of Cheers to give us He-Fans a [...]
I actually just watched the original Thundercats cartoon for the first time yesterday, so it’s interesting seeing the twenty-five year difference with the new show. Aside from the obvious–much better animation, storytelling, character designs, etc.–the new show also has a stronger anime feel (though the original show did too–anime just wasn’t as stylized back then). [...]
