NIKE WRITE THE FUTURE - FULL LENGTH VERSION

A three minute film for the World Cup directed by Alejandro González Iñarritu. My favorite part is the Ronaldo played by Gael Garcia Bernal moment!

Nike today unveils an action-packed film that brings together some of the world’s greatest players to inspire football lovers and sports fans around the world. The epic three-minute “Write the Future” film takes people on a journey that dramatically captures that one moment when headlines are written from a single pass, or one strike can bring a nation eternal happiness, while bringing others to their knees…

Directed by renowned Hollywood director and producer Alejandro González Iñarritu (21 Grams, Babel), this epic football journey unfolds through a match of goal line clearances, game-winning tackles and lightning footwork that literally send a ripple effect across the world.

“Every touch you have in a game has the ability to change the entire course of not just those 90 minutes, but your entire tournament or season,” said Cristiano Ronaldo. “One touch of the ball can be an opportunity to leave your mark on the game and write your own future, or equally a moment missed, that creates a legacy for your opponent with their fans.”

Rip the Shirt Right Off His Back

This is WAY cool. Andrew Sullivan at Daily Dish clued me in to this extremely cool Wrangler Ad. It's completely interactive. You can literally rip the shirt right off his back. Andrew describes it thusly:

It's for Wrangler's Blue Bell fashion brand. If you're a gay man or heterosexual woman, it's particularly awesome. You get to interactively toss Tony Ward around and even rip his shirt off. Ward, if you recall, is Madonna's former baby-daddy. And the one thing you can say about Madonna is that her taste in men is flawless.
Seriously, seriously: way hot and fun. And the music is awesome.

Totally agree about the hotness, and the music! Pure awesome fun to throw around this boy toy!

Victoria's Secret Commercial By Michael Bay

Okay. This just completely made me crack up. Helicopters. check. Knife throwing. check. Plenty 'o explosions. It's Michael Bay. Check and triple check.

Totally over the top. Totally Michael Bay. As one blog put it - The focus is on the breasts as in Transformers, but at least this time it's for a reason!
