Avatar Full Length Trailer

Here's the first full length trailer for the James Cameron film Avatar, courtesy of Yahoo! Movies. This full length trailer gives us some of the fascinating back story and plot of this ambitious 3D film project.

But what has me most excited about this movie is that it marks the theatrical return of arguably the greatest action director of our lifetime.

That opinionated statement is supported here, as we get a glimpse of the incredible action sequences and special effects that Avatar promises to deliver. Even in it's present state it looks incredible. But people who have actually seen the so-called "immersive 3D technology" in the film have called it ground breaking and revolutionary.



Avatar is scheduled for worldwide release on December 18, 2009.

If the reader is craving more, here is the original teaser trailer for the film that debuted back in August of 2009.

ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown Commercials

I don't know what it is but I literally grab my stomach laughing and tear up when these commercials for ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown air.

Every time.

It's well documented that I am a sports freak, but I think these videos are hilarious even for non-football fans. These broadcasters aren't even actors, but they really have great comic timing. I also appreciate the production value and originality of the pieces.

I mean, in general ESPN has the BEST commercials. But these two promos REALLY bust me up.




Love that delivery and last line by Chris Berman.

This next promo really plays to the media savvy of former National Football League star Keyshawn Johnson.



Again, watching Chris Berman's moment at the end of this commercial KILLS me!


ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown airs on Sundays on ESPN and ESPNHD at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time.
