Can anyone tell me what this movie is about?

And can anyone tell me how this movie could be any better than DOA?

Apparently creating a website that spawns shitting dick nipples is enough to make others think you're profound.

Holy shit

Holy motherfucking shit.

This guy murdered his wife, then claimed he was dreaming when he did it.

And he was proclaimed not guilty.

An idea for a film

I twigged to this idea while sitting through another boring Seventies Film class:
REMAKE SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT!
Here's the pitch:
Smokey is a network security analyst who discovers that two enterprising fellows have secured a massive shipment of new Iphones which, of course, are anxiously awaited by thousands of early adopters. But there's a problem: they cause cancer, and so the state of New Hampshire has banned their sale within its borders. So, the two above mentioned enterprising fellows decide to sell as many as they can before the law shuts them down because that's what enterprising young men do! Smokey in this version could be either an FCC baron, refusing the allow their sale of the phones, or he could be an especially tight-assed senator, lucky to find a wedge issue to assure his/her reelection. Frog, the Sally Field character, really doesn't need to change at all. Recalcitrance is kind of universal.

Sigh fi.

I'm insulted.

Bike Hero and Viral advertising

A question occurs to me: what does viral marketing sell to us? The easy answer is the advertised product, but advertising has been about, for the last eighty years or so, selling not the product but emotions. It has been about convincing the person that they want the thing because it gives them X. Status, security, comfort, completeness, the selling of things in a want-based economy is less about the thing it self and more about how it makes the consumer feel. So what does viral marketing do? Consider Guitar Hero, a recently exposed viral marketing campaign by ad agecy Droga5. We see in this video a fairly creative and original treatment of a familiar game, and in it are numerous post-media forces: democratized film making, application of beloved content to new mediums, mashup, and irrational or unusual visual representations. But what is this selling to us? Group identity? That can't be it because as soon as the ad is discovered as a fake, the group turns of the advertisement. A slick, vacuous purely aesthetic image? Not likely because such "art" has to be evaluated by a group, and i dont think favoriting it on youtube is evaluation enough.


These are just thoughts, but this is a much larger idea i don't have time at work left to consider. Your thoughts?
