Greatest Proposal Ever

Posted on

Here is a guy by the name of Corey Goldfeder who used Back to the Future to propose to his girlfriend in one of the most creative and unique ever imagined.

Goldfeder’s plan was pretty intricate. First, he spent 15 hours using a digital camera, a make-shift green screen and a 30-day free trial of Pinnacle Studio software to edit himself into Back to the Future as Marty during a scene opposite Doc Brown. He then spent a few minutes talking to Doc, as himself, about whether or not he should propose, cleverly working Doc’s real responses from the movie into their conversation.  That would have been enough for most people.

But then Corey continued. He then convinced his girlfriend that there was a Michael J. Fox retrospective taking place at a theater downtown where they were screening Back to the Future. In cahoots with the theater, they put up signage out front making it look like the event and screening were indeed real, and Goldfeder snagged about 20 friends to show up as audience members. He then showed up with his gal, the lights went down, Back to the Future began as planned, and then when they got to the selected scene Marty McFly was instantly replaced by Corey Goldfeder, who, after a little chit chat with Doc, turned it over to himself to do the actual proposal. And of course she said yes.

The video is private right now for some reason, but you can watch part of it on Fox News (fast forward to 1:35):

This is incredible.  Not only for the amount of time but for the subject matter too.  Back To The Future is one of the all time classics.  It’s great.  I would love to somehow incorporate it into my wedding.  Here’s a pic of the couple:

Handsome Man Club

Traditional Late Night TV has become a joke to me lately. Even though i love Conan, he wasn’t that funny at the new slot. . Leno just doesn’t do it for me either. That said, this clip is fantastic. More of this and i might be adjusting the ol’ Tivo.

I’m now seeing that this has over 1.5 million views so maybe i’m late to the party. Oh well, still worth a post:

Old Spice Commercials

Posted on

I don’t know who is running the marketing department over at Old Spice or what ad agency they are using, but someone needs to get a raise because they have been knocking it out of the park for the past year or two. One of my favorite ads last year was an Old Spice ad featuring Bruce Campbell. He just keeps on walking, describing the je ne sais quoi of Old Spice and showing us the biggest sailing painting in history….

This year they’ve hit gold again with this ad. Look at the ad, now back at the blog, now back at the ad…:

What do you think? Any other ads that you like better?

Three Excellent Movie Spoofs

In the past two weeks, i’ve seen some great movie spoofs.  It seems that online video is getting better and better and the content is coming form all over the place.  I love these videos.  Check ’em out:

A Batman spoof:

A Point Break spoof. I love how Aziz does Keanu by just shouting.

A video describing all the ambiguous endings of movies. If you were unsure how they ended, now you know:

Wolf Shirt Amazon Review

Posted on

51jZitVcKmL._AA280_This is a review i came across on Amazon and i think it needs to be shared.  Had me laughing this morning.  Take a look at the t-shirt on the right.  Here’s the Amazon page that sells it for $13.78.  The first review on the page reads like this:

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to ‘howl at the moon’ from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn’t have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn’t settle for the first thing that comes to him.

I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the ‘guns’), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.

Bruno This Weekend

Posted on

I’m headed out to see Bruno tonight and i’m pretty excited as i’ve read some great reviews and saw that it’s at 71% at Rotten Tomatoes.  Ebert says:

Here is a film that is 82 minutes long and doesn’t contain 30 boring seconds.

that’s a pretty good endorsement – especially from someone who isn’t in to sophomoric comedies that much. I like Borat so i’m expecting great things. I actually think that people are much more outwardly homophobic than racist so i can imagine that Sacha Baron can have much more fun with peolple with Bruno than he did with Borat.

I got even more excited when i saw Bruno go on the Today show and talk about Isreal and Palastine and his war on carbs.  It is hilarious:

S'mores Keyboard

food-keyboard

This could possibly be the most delicious keyboard ever constructed.  As the Murdock family can vouch for, i’m a sucker for S’mores.  It’s probably a good thing this isn’t in my office or else i’d be getting fatter and way less productive as keys start disappearing.  Probably would last about 25 minutes.  I’d also probably rest it on my Macbook laptop so the chocolate would melt a little bit.  Yum
