Office Space Re-cut

As if the monotony of working in an office wasn’t horror enough, WTM re-cut "Office Space" into a slasher/thriller trailer.

This mash-up proves that a trailer can take any movie highlight it in a way that is completely unfaithful to it’s actually plot and context.

A huge fan of the mid-life crisis flick, I am amazed at the effectiveness of this high-suspense Boiler Room-esc cut by WhatTheMaynard.

With corporate bosses applying the smack down and a torturous red streamline-stapler, could a full-length feature could be nearly as successful as this witty office comedy?

Watch as Initech turns deadly.

Silent Night: Direct TV Ad

The tales of Christmas are full of mean-spirited who are overwhelmed by the joy and spirit of the holiday. From Scrooge to the Grinch, there are several selfish and sinister men who are changed by the gift-giving holiday.

This commercial for Direct TV builds on the plot that magical transformations take place during the holiday season. In a manner that is horrifically wrong, the angelic Christmas song Silent Night is juxtaposed with frightful film icons transformed into sensitive man.

The satellite provider not only tries to sell the idea that everyone is good, but they would be even better if they could watch their favorite movie on demand.

IMVU

This new instant messaging system that allows its users to create a 3D version of themselves that can interact virtually with other users.

IMVU is currently in the beta stage.Created by video game developer, Will Harvey, the new chatting system allows users to customize a 3D model of themselves (called an avatar) that can interact with others in user-created environments.

Membership to the service is free with every new member receiving 1000 credits to purchase clothes, furniture, and other virtual society "must haves." Once the thousand runs out, users must pay for any additional item via a pay per credit system. (Example: that table lamp cost two credits and at 50 cents a credit, users are dropping a dollar on 3D swag.)

Personally, I find this new method of communication a little too interactive. Users can engage in actions such as kissing, hugging, fighting, flirting, dancing and even doing the nasty (with consent and for a price). It is going to be the Sims with real people behind each computer-generated cog. I wonder how long it is going to take for the insecurities and perversions of the real world to rub off in this new medium.

The Darkside

This commercial for a Star Wars movie marathon on Cinemax takes an already overplayed Coldplay song and meshes it together with some sensitive clips from the sci-fi epic that needs no introduction.

This Cold Play ballad lacks the suspense and the good vs. evil conflict that the legendary film series was built on. And even worse, the commercial is for Cinemax, the channel that after 10 turns into skin-amax, and has very little respect my the film community as it is.

This should not be allowed. Will the commercial madness ever stop?

Flag Makeover

Flag Makeover is Barats and Bereta's first video in over a month. The duo has been MIA from YouTube's Most Watched and Top Rated charts since they signed with NBC. Prior to the deal, they were Top o' the Tube for several weeks at a time and just about every new B&B video was an instant hit.

After thier brief hiatus, Berats and Bereta already found their way back to the top of the Most Discussed and Top Favorites charts. With its noticeably augmented budget and a less ambitious story line, Flag Makeover gives Berats and Bereta fans fleeting hope that the comedy team may not be to cool for YouTube after all.

Studio 60 Lives

Despite rumors that the show would be canceled, last night NBC announced an order for an nine additional episodes of the new drama “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.”

Here’s the opening clip from the series that stars Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, and Bradley Whitford.

After Fox 411 gossip Roger Friedman started the rumors about Studio 60 getting canceled, the backstage drama about a Saturday Night Live-esc television show will finish out the season.

The first new drama from Aaron Sorkin since he created the award-winning “West Wing,” Studio 60 has been one of the most talked-about series of the fall season.

After suffering a flux in ratings, Studio 60 seems to have settled with a steady crowd of loyal viewers. But rumor has it that the shows day and time slot are still subject to change.
