Addictive TV’s Slumdog Millionaire Remix. Man I cant image how long they took to do this.
Impressed by Addictive TV’s remix work for the major Hollywood studios, Slumdog Millionaire’s producers and director Danny Boyle asked the team to create an alternative web trailer for “Slumdog Millionaire”, by sampling sounds and images from the film and producing something entirely new made from only those audiovisual samples. Before the beat kicks in, the whole intro is purely AV, the music
being made from only the looped images you see.

This is just too darn cool to pass up !
Check out the flows of dots as the dawn and dusk lines move. Awesome !
Got it off Nokia Conversations btw.
Seriously, great Ad ! I wish Nokia would have ads like these instead of their kooky weird new marketing ones :
Tip of the Hat @ T-Mobile ! Thats one great ad.
Man O Man … this looks trailer looks AWESOME !
Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar – as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, retractable claws and a primal fury. Leading up to the events of X-MEN, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.
After the jump, check out the HD trailer in full …

Haha Hilarious ! Bush made a surprise visit to Iraq and during a news conference some random guy threw a pair of shoes at him ! Check out the video its extremely funny.
I'm suprised GW ducked so well haha. Sigh. Can we just have Obama now plz ?
This is definitely definitely definitely one of my favorite ad campaigns ever. Burger King hired independent researchers to travel to remote places around the world and find people who have no clue what a McDonald's or Burger King is and who have never eaten a burger and then have them try both the Whopper and the Big Mac and see which one they preferred.
Its pure GENIUS! Its a very short touching and entertaining documentary which you can watch on the Whopper Virgins site. I loved Burger King in Kuwait and always preferred it over McD's. But it'll be a while before BK opens up shop in India. How I miss me some whooper goodness.
I loved it, so do check it out [Link]
This video is AWESOME. You have to read the backstory behind it first though. Dont worry, its definitely worth it :
The two cubs were in tiny cages in the exotic animals section. Like a kid enthralled with a puppy, Rendall instantly became smitten and determined to rescue one of them.“I grew up in the bush in Australia,” he told TODAY. “I was pretty shocked to see this animal, even if it was three months old, in this tiny cage: ‘This isn’t right. We really have to do something about this.’ And right there [we] decided to buy him.”
The notion that one could buy a lion and move it into an urban neighborhood seems preposterous today. But in 1969 London, the improbable was not impossible.
Bourke and Rendall did have to go through a long process to prove they could care for the animal, and there were others who wanted to buy the cub. But the two friends prevailed, and soon the basement of the custom furniture store where they worked had a new and exotic housecat.
“We persuaded the owners of the shop that it would be great publicity for the shop if we had the lion live there,” Rendall explained.
“It’s something that can never be done again,” he admitted. “You couldn’t have a lion in central London.”
The lion whisperers
Inspired by the Bible and a sense of irony, Rendall and Bourke named the lion “Christian,” and the beast soon became a celebrity. Rendall said they took a “horse whisperer” approach to raising the animal, never restraining it and never using physical force of any kind. Instead, they indicated with their tone of voice what was appropriate and what wasn’t.“He could tell by the tone of our voice,” Rendall explained. “He knew that we wanted him to calm down, not now, let’s go, that sort of thing. We were very fortunate that we got it right. We ended up with a wonderful animal. He never bit anybody.”
The shop’s bottom floor became Christian’s den. “He had the whole of the basement. He had these toys down there — rolled-up old mattresses,” Rendall told TODAY. “He had his own kingdom downstairs, that’s where he slept.”
But when Bourke and Christian went out, Christian went with them, riding in style in the back seat of a Bentley. He even accompanied his human friends into restaurants. For exercise, they took him to a large, walled-in garden next to the furniture shop. Christian’s favorite pastime? Soccer.
Growing pains
After a year, Christian had grown from 35 to 185 pounds. Rendall said he and Bourke knew the lion couldn’t stay with them much longer. They weren’t worried about Christian attacking anyone, he said. It was more that he was so big he could break a window just by leaning on it. Who knew what other damage he could accidentally cause when he grew even bigger?Fortuantely, actors Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna dropped into the furniture store one day, looking for a writing desk. They had just finished filming “Born Free,” the famous story of Elsa, a real lioness who was reintroduced to the wild. In the hit movie, the married actors played real-life naturalists George and Joy Adamson (Joy Adamson wrote the book on which the film was based).
Travers and McKenna suggested that Rendall and Bourke contact George Adamson. Soon Rendall, Bourke and Christian were all on a plane to Kenya, where they and Adamson introduced Christian to something he had never seen before: his natural habitat.
When the two friends felt sure Christian had a new family and a safe territory, they went back to their lives in London. But they kept in touch with Adamson and made a few visits to Kenya to see Christian from afar.
Emotional reunion
Their first reunion was in early 1972, a year after Bourke and Rendall left Christian with Adamson. It is this event that is shown in the grainy film that has become such a sensation on YouTube (although the captions on at least one version of the video misidentify the event as taking place in 1974.)The now-famous footage shows the cat approaching the two men, cautiously at first. Then, as recognition begins to dawn, the lion picks up his pace and leaps into the arms of his old roomies.
The film is color, but has no sound. Subtitles have been addded to tell the story, but they’re hardly needed. There are two men in flared jeans and shaggy hair, and there is a lion. The huge carnivore approaches from a distance, slowly at first. Then recognition sets in, and soon everyone — men and beast — are hugging and crying.
Also in the original film are two lionesses named Mona and Lisa. They had been trapped elsewhere in Africa and given to Adamson to rehabilitate. Unlike Christian, Mona and Lisa had never set eyes on Bourke and Rendall before, but they came over to meet the two men anyway. If Christian vouched for them, these humans were apparently OK guys.A last farewell
But in 1974, Adamson lost touch with Christian for three months. When he told Rendall and Bourke, they decided to make one last trip to Kenya to try to say goodbye to their old friend.The night before they landed, according to Adamson, Christian suddenly reappeared and sat on a rock outside the naturalist’s camp — as if waiting for his pals.
There was another tearful reunion and another romp. The next day Christian walked back into the bush, where his lionesses were waiting. He was never seen again — but the power of the Internet guarantees he will never be forgotten.

Check out the latest trailer for the upcoming Terminator Salvation movie. Looks pretty good, and even features what looks like a giant Transformer kicking ass at the end. I knew they’d be the reason behind society’s down fall.

I really should be posting this on ZomgitsCj instead of here lol :
Woo ! Why dont Nokia phones come like that :P ?
This kid is amazing. You HAVE to watch this.
Now thats Talent. Apparently he learnt it all from the tourists who hang around there.
And he doesnt go to school because he earns money from selling all day long. Poor Fella. If I was in Mumbai, I'd go right to this "Hanging Gardens" place and treat him to an Ice-Cream or something. I dunno. I just wish there was some way to help the kid.
I'm totally doing that the next time I swing by there.
Edit : Just found out there's another video of him from a few years ago :-
Its really sad to see that hes still in the same situation now that he was back then.
So last night was the American Music Awards 2008. A giant event that I usually try to catch every year.
Beyoncé, bless her heart, gave the best live performance of the night imho. She gave a live performance of her hit single Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It). Homegirl turned that mutha OUT! After the jump, watch video of her performance in full …
While I think THIS is still my all-time fave AMAs performance ever, Beyoncé really killed it last night:
Dang! Dancing and singling live like that? I suppose 'fierce' is the only word that comes to mind. And I *love* the white lady waving her hand at the 3:17 mark in the vid. LMAO! The only thing that could’ve made her performance even better would probably be THIS guy dancing backup with her.
TBH, if I were in that boat, I'd be a lot less comfortable than these folks appear to be.
Watch the video after the break.
