Random Insanity of the Boards

Unread postby Tempest Kitsune » April 18th, 2010, 9:25 pm

Well, here's the newest random thoughts thread. Have fun guys.
"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move."

So, who's seen the sneak peek trailer for the new Predator movie. Seems pretty sweet. Here's hoping it turns out well.

Indeed. I have to say, its nice to see a whole lot of old thrillers and horror films trying to get back to their roots to find success. The new 'Friday the 13th' was, in my opinion, pretty good, and even if we don't get Arnold Schwarzenegger in the new Predator movie, so long as its more like the old Predator rather than, as previously mentioned, the AvP bs, it should be well enough.

Fourth, I think.

Okay, this is rapidly becoming one of my favorite commercials of all time, I'm not even joking. Seriously, who are the marketing geniuses who came up with this?

That's not the version I saw earlier today, but it definitely made me chuckle.

That is actually why I started using Old Spice. Their commercials amused and intrigued me, and I thought, "well, if they put that much effort into their chimerical, I have no problem giving them my money. And so I did.

Course I was convinced by Bruce Campbell. Anyone who hires him has me as a patron almost immediately. Anyone.

I wanted the headphones smiley because it's my favorite of the new ones.

And the commercial was very amusing, especially the block, building kick, explosion part. :biggrin:

The thing that makes me laugh about the commercial so much is that this is the same game who plays Chris Rock's father on 'Everybody Hates Chris', and in that role he's a tad bit reserved. Its fun to just see him going nuts like this.

Agreed, especially with how it ended, wouldn't you say?

Totally, I did not expect that. I especially like how they avoided all the lame kid-friendly gags that they generally go for.

And there better not be any onions on that burger or this will just be a picture of Kitty-cide.
