Pinboard: bookmarks for dsankey tagged 'ads'

Interesting take on the Star Wars - Adidas - World Cup promo video (which is embedded for your convenience). Essentially Hipster Runoff is not feeling it because it's a corporate meme and not something grassroots. I can see that, but also: this is better than your typical ad. I like that Lucasfilm is allowing this sort of work. Not sure that 'celebrate originality' is a great tagline for a work of extremely parasitic pastiche, though.

The Uma Thurman film so bad it made £88 on opening weekend

in the whole of the UK (although it was only on one screen). That means only 11 people saw it. It only made $80,000 in its US release. Hilarious article.

Art.view - The name game

Interesting discussion of branding in the context of art fairs. Branding always seems so basic and common-sense for a field that has so many "experts", but again it's kinda what I do, too. Perhaps it's too familiar to me.

A Whole Lotta Nothing: Logorama

"Nominated for an Oscar this year in the animated short category, Logorama is a 15 minute film that's a cross between Pulp Fiction and 2012, with lots of violence and NSFW dialogue, and exists in a world made of nothing but well-known corporate logos."
