The Good News: The return of the classic Twisted Metal series was announced last week at E3! After watching the trailer about 5 times already, this newest installment looks to be nothing short of amazing.
The Bad News: It’s exclusive to PS3. That’s tough news for an Xbox kid to take. Womp, womp, womp. Buy hey, that gives me more than a few months to save up for a PS3 before it’s released sometime in 2011.
Mullen is doing some good work for the Olympus brand so far. Check out the latest commercial they filmed for the Pen E-PL1 camera. I won’t ruin the ending for you. Just watch!
You defeated D-Wade, “Superman” Howard and “King” James. You took Kobe to 7 games with Perk missing the last game. Your heart, resolve, and brotherhood are examples for teams of all sports to follow.
It’s been a week since the Celtics lost to the Lakers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, and I’m still reeling. But this ad, put together by our favorite ( or not so favorite) celebrity fans, pieced a little bit of my heart back together. Donnie Wahlberg, Maria Menounos, Wes Wekler and that kid from Superbad are among the celebs who signed the full page Boston Globe ad that honored this years Celtics team.
This goes to show you how much passion we Celtics fans have for our team and players. There’s a much higher level of authentic fan-hood around for the Celtics than there are for the Lakers. Not to say Lakers fans don’t have passion, but do you think famous Lakers fans like Jack Nicholson, Andy Garcia, and Leonardo Dicaprio would have put together a tribute like this for their team? I say the chances of that happening are slim to none.
I was reading an Ad Age article yesterday that said Adidas is still the biggest sporting apparel brand in the world. Well in this 2 minute spot, Adidas is claiming intergalatic market domination.
In a scene reminiscent of Star Wars: A New Hope, Snoop, David Beckham, half of Oasis, Ciara, Daft Punk, and other celebs take on the beings in the Mos Eisley Cantina. It’s no surprise that Adidas is trying to borrow a little equity from the World Cup as match play begins this weekend. I’m also not surprised they’re borrowing from Snoop’s always-cool ways – check the the video below for some cuts from March when Snoop and Darth Vader invaded NYC to promote the Star Wars shoe collection.
Celtics forward Paul Pierce was feeling himself after his teams defeat against the Orlando Magic Tuesday night. He had some swag in his step. Maybe a little too much of it. After the game, Pierce was anything but humble in on-court post game interview with ESPN.
Around the same time of that interview, Pierce posted a tweet that said, “Anybody got a BROOM?”
Whoa, Pierce, chill man. There’s no need to tweet that. Or did you? According to Pierce and Athlete Interactive - company that manages his digital media, his twitter account, @paulpierce34, was hacked. Apparently the folks over at Twitter did a great job at regaining control of Pierce’s so called hacked account, because a day later he tweeted the following:
Now whether his account was hacked or not is irrelevant, but Pierce’s over-confidence can teach all of us who frequently use social media a lesson – Tweet and update with Humility! Most of us don’t have a whole agency or team of PR reps to cover up a possible gaffe on Twitter, so that’s why we all have to tweet with a little self control out there. We should be confident, share our ideas and be opinionated, because all that stuff makes Twitter the engaging platform that it is. But, that doesn’t mean we should hide behind the safety of a Twitter handle to talk smack, ridicule, and act like someone we aren’t. You wouldn’t pad your resume with experience you don’t have would you? Nah, of course you wouldn’t, because that will catch up with you later, so don’t pad your social media presence either! I mean, we all try make ourselves out to look a little better or cooler than we really are out there, but just don’t over do it.
When tweeting, facebooking, and blogging, always remember who you are and who is listening, because sometimes we forget.
If this doesn’t get you pumped up to watch the World Cup on June 11th, I don’t know what will! Very dope spot right here that features the likes of soccer football stars Wayne Rooney, Christiano Ronaldo, and Didier Drogba.
In addition to the warm weather, Entourage is what I look forward to every summer. In this teaser trailer for season 7, Vinny and the boys are seen soaking in the Hollywood rays of sunshine and fame. Although I wish we got to see some actual scenes, I’m liking this teaser. It’s enough to get me excited for the new season. “Spanish Sahara” by the Foals is the song playing in the backdrop.
I’m interested to see what the writers come up with for the cast this season. The writing hasn’t been as fresh as it was in the early seasons so hopefully we’ll get to see some intriguing plot lines. Last season saw Vince get back on top after trying to rebound from the awful Medellin in season 5. E got his Sloan. Jamie Lynn became the new Sloan (poor Turtle) Wonder if she’ll be making another appearance? Celebrity showings include Jessica Simpson and Sasha Grey (a porn star), who will be playing Vince’s new girl of choice.
Awesome, awesome advertising. Well done DDB Chicago. Great story. Even better cast – the dynamic between of the characters is too great. The inclusion of the McCafe beverage line relates well to the story, especially in the midst of the coffee wars with Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. I think that DDB should make a mini web-series with Joe & Frank. Hopefully they will!
The relevancy of MTV award shows has diminished greatly in recent memory. But since Aziz Ansari has stepped up to the plate to host this years MTV Movie Awards on June 6th, it seems like some much needed life will be pumped back into the event.
The twitter world weighs in on the #aquapocalypse that has hit the greater Boston area. We love that dirty water. How are you coping with the boil water order? All I know is that it’s finals week at Boston University and kids are going crazy without their coffee fix. Just drink some Red Bull, man. You’ll be alright.
