redfiona99Since Movie Day was a great success (except for London Midland screwing up so I missed Book of the Dead), have some short comments on the trailers first.
Good:
The Penguins of Madagascar is on my to be watched list along with Get Santa which looks like my kind of nonsense. And my hat is off to Rafe Spall for managing to look/act so differently in everything I see him in.
The Bizarre:
The Spongebob movie trailer looks like Hollywood has been imbibing the nose candy again.
Not My Thing:
The Imitation Game - probably one of those things where I know slightly too much about the cryptanlysis side of things (I am terrible at cryptanalysis, but I enjoy reading about it) to enjoy the film.
Nativity 3 does not look like my kind of nonsense.
The Drop

I'd love to know why in Virgin Trains's advert for their Birmingham to London route, they're using footage of Liverpool Lime Street. To the point of asking them on Twitter. I have spent too much time at Lime Street, New Street and Euston not to recognise them all instantly, but more importantly, the rock formation and color at the back of Lime Street is unmistakable.
Is that Kevin Spacey I see in the new Call of Duty ad? And is that Taylor Kitsch in the ad for whatever military shooter that was?
They're letting ad agencies at the crack again, aren't they? As evidence, I would like to nominate this Just Eat advert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWsjVV4iLZs), this O2 advert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTFxwYZ96Cg) and this Freederm advert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wleR59hiV0A). Not that I don't like them, but bzuh, what?! The other main theme seems to be Busby Berkley as done by Dyson (in an advert I can't find on Youtube) and Currys/PC World (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU8WLf9OIlU).
