I didn’t watch the Grammy’s. Sorry it slipped my mind this year. I know. Sad for a music head. I did watch the “Forever” performance on Nah Right. Nice sneakers Weezy. As I was going through my reader, I caught this on Boy Genius Report. Brilliant marketing/branding strategy.

An iconic company that has positioned itself as the leader in tech products for the non-conformist, liberal arts crowd places it’s latest revolutionary product (or seemingly revolutionary) in the hands of a national icon for the liberal, non-conservative think tank on a nationally (and now virally) broadcasted award show. This is great. The timing was perfect and the choice of representative was great. No music artists or Hollywood celebs. Someone “neutral” (lol), who speaks to the aforementioned audience.

I saw Avatar last week. Yeah I’m a bit late. Visually stunning. James Cameron once again manages to produce a brilliant sci-fi epic. It was like Pocahantas, District 9 and Star Wars in one convenient package.

Rek also dropped a thorough analysis of the movie.

The movie also made me realize that human beings are messd up. And not because of overall tone of the movie, but by the notion that we’re so messed up that don’t realize how messed up we are until we so a special effects driven, Hollywood blockbuster that highlights how messed up we are (I’m refraining from using the F-word here).The point: most of that stuff happened. On Earth.

But it was a great movie.

Usually my posts need some type of slick verbatim. This needs none.

The YouTube video isn’t as funny…

But if you watch the video on the Adidas website it ends with this brilliant image…

Really excited about this. I was a big fan of the original.

Notice some del Toro-styled monsters in this. The same team that worked on this needs to get that God of War movie out ASAP.

This is actually a bit old (the trailer that is). It’s scheduled to be released in February 2010, and a screening in NYC in January. Looks dope. I own the Hulk Vs. DVD and it was pretty good for a Marvel animated feature.
