Another example of how advertising is better than the actual product.
In this activation idea to promote Season 2 of The Walking Dead, a theatre full of unsuspecting audience thinks they are watching the trailer for a new rom-com, when a zombie comes lumbering by.
Watch.
Awesome marketing.
Can’t say the same for the series.
Does this mean they’ve just launched a new product, an eTM card?
LOL.
I don’t know if this is a leap in email technology or card technology. Either way, welcome to the future of banking. Now all we need is to buy a plastic sheet and a plastics printer. An earlier post of this picture on my facebook seems to be getting its fair share of shares after TOC caught wind of it.
Anyway, this would seem to be a typo error on the part of Yahoo, as it has currently been corrected.
When all the key marketing and product people speak the same language, you inevitably get swept away by all the buzzwords surrounding that particular product.
And when spoken enough times, we all go away, sold.
So say it with me now. The iPad is amazing-incredible-simple-beautiful-great.
Let’s face it, every year, we’ll have a handful of really great movies, some awful movies, and the rest just sort of falls nicely in the middle of not bad, but not great ones. Safe House ranks as one of those mid-tier films you’ll enjoy while in the cinema, but won’t remember much of after stepping out.
The only things elevating this from average to slightly above average are the 2 leads, Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds.
if i'm going to play the same role every movie, i'll at least change my hair
Reynolds stars as rookie agent Matt Weston, a “housekeeper” in charge of maintaining a safehouse in Cape Town. He’d been leading a rather uneventful year, up until the moment Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) shows up. Frost, an ex CIA agent turned rogue, was suspected to possess, and trying to profit from, a list of illegal activities of several high ranking officials across different agencies.
So naturally, the bad bigwigs at the top (no prizes for guessing who) send in the foot soldiers to get hold of Frost before the info gets out in the open. So its up to the unlikely pair of rookie upright agent and weathered not evil but not that good ex agent to keep themselves alive.
Overused and predictable plot, but decent action and acting. So there. Not bad, not great.
Rating: 6/10
Its impossible to hate on cats, even if they sometimes interrupt our favourite football matches.
Happy Friday!
