Careful… the ‘Repo Men’ are coming after your organs in their VW
Coming March 19th, Repo Men (which is not a remake of Repo Man, the awesome 80′s campy movie with Emilio Estevez, by the way) gives a creepy insight on what might be around the corner for us, and we’re not talking about the Health Care reform. No, in this future, a company called The Union makes replacement organs for humans, which is a scientific breakthrough a... Read More
Sunday Ads special Super Bowl 2010: Bridgestone ‘Your Tires or your life’
We thought the Bridgestone commcial for the big game was okay, just not as fun as the fantastic “screaming squirrel” from last year. But it looked oddly familiar : the 80′s sci-fi look, the young couple being stopped by a bunch of thugs at night on a deserted road, the challenge “your… or your girl”… It’s the intro scene of The Wraith!...

On our watch list: Get Smart (2008)
We haven’t paid much attention to the upcoming spy/comedy film yet, but there’s actually some car action in it, and even some product placement deals. Vespa is sponsoring it, and a Triumph is seen in the trailer jumping from the stairs of a building. Looks a fun movie with plenty of laughs and thrills, just like we like’em. Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and “The... Read More

Official Audi R8 / Iron Man TV spot
Spanish people have been granted an extra TV spot where the deal between Audi and Paramount Pictures is clearly shown (it’s also a webspecial in other countries). They exploit each other’s product. When Audi promotes its supercar, Iron Man gets some exposure; when a trailer is shown, the R8 appears. It’s Co-advertising at its best. The ad mixes footage from Iron... Read More
