Here is the newest advert used in the UK to discourage people from getting counterfeit DVDs. Personally I think it's a load of bollocks.
It seems that the Anti-Piracy commission has given up on trying to get people to fear prosecution, and is now just trying to associate the practice with scorn. I'd imagine that the logic that if you buy knock off DVDs, you must be a cheap git like this guy, is probably not going to win over many people.
This is almost certainly a step down from the 'piracy is stealing thus it is a crime' advertising that preceded this. Associating the practice with theft in people's minds seemed like a fairly decent strategy. On the other hand, it's still better than the 'if you buy counterfeit DVDs, you're funding terrorism' line that was picked up after 9/11 (Call me naive but I'd expect that the vast majority of sales are just to people looking to make a few extra quid using a fast internet connection).
To be honest, I think it's my sense of logic that is most offended. I dislike the implication that someone is both A and B and therefore all A's are B's where A is a purveyor of counterfeit films and B is a bastard.
Of course I could be wrong about the Commission's aims. They might actually be unveiling their new policy of sending people round to sing derisively at offenders.
I already did an entry about films that have been re-edited to seem completely different. However, this is a whole new clip, in that it takes clips from dozens of other movies to create an entertaining thriller for the film that never was (and never should be). This is one of the finest examples of film-editting that I've seen. Video will be posted as soon as YouTube gets back on the air.
This is a new commercial realeased in Japan. It's Bruce Willis advertising "Eneos" which appears to be either a type of petrol/gas station or an energy drink, or it could be an ad for craziness in general. It's a rather odd thing with what seems to be a plug for Mitsubishi and a clip of Bruce going all Ghostbusters.
This is another example of what I'm told is called "japandering" where a well known western star is paid exorbitant fees to make commercials for japanese products that they have probably never heard of.
This is partly me posting a video that has been all over the web for months but that I have only just found, and partly me playing around with imbedding videos.
This is a trailer for the Shining (brilliant film) recut to make a heartwarming family drama out of it. Whether it is a travesty or not is debatable, but it's quite funny.
