[Random “Kinda” Cool] Audi 2012 Game Day Vampire Promo

Published

on

I’m a big commercial guy because I enjoy the game of trying to decode who the company is selling to and if they’ve succeeded (the most recent one to drive me insane is the insanely feminine Dr. Pepper 10 that’s marketed to MEN, go figure).

With the Superbowl just a week away, Audi has already released their new “Game Day” promo that asks you to find out what happens when an Audi S7 shows up at a party full of vampires. The promo is clever and pretty funny, but it had me asking one simple question: do 13-year-old girls who obsess over Twilight buy Audi cars? Or, have a misplaced the Twilight fan base as kids and the truth is that everyone is a Twilight fan (except me, of course)? Enough of my over-thinking shenanigans, enjoy the spot above and celebrate that horror in taking over every facet of our lives (even though I’m a selfish bastard and don’t want to share it with the mainstream movie fan). Now off to listen to Echo & the Bunnymen’s “The Killing Moon”!

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
