83% of the lights have gone out in Syria in the past four years. It’s quite the sad film showing just how much has changed in four years. And sadly, how little.

Posted in: UncategorizedWhy Three Musketeers? Because five would need to take two taxis. Sorry but I take issue with the spot. Everyone knows Musketeers would be using Uber and they’d get a large SUV/van. This is just silly.

Posted in: UncategorizedI resisted writing about this ad because it hinges so much upon the worst pun of all time, using borrowed interest and referencing memes from years ago. Speaking of puns, I’ve made omelettes that weren’t as beaten to death.

“Google Feud” é o “Family Feud” com pesquisas do Google
Posted in: Uncategorized
O programa “Family Feud” é um dos mais famosos no EUA. No game show, duas famílias disputam um jogo de perguntas e respostas temático, em busca de um prêmio de 20 mil dólares. No Brasil, o formato foi reproduzido por Silvio Santos, indubitavelmente o nosso maior entusiasta de game shows na TV.
Agora, o desenvolvedor Justin Hook criou uma versão online de “Family Feud” que usa a função de autocompletar do Google para gerar as perguntas e respostas. No “Google Feud”, você tem 3 chances para acertar qual expressão completa a frase da pesquisa e ganha mais pontos se sua sugestão está mais próxima da primeira. Que tal desafiar os amigos?

Kickstarter financia documentário sobre “De Volta Para o Futuro”
Posted in: Uncategorized
Em 2013, o diretor Jason Aron iniciou uma campanha no Kickstarter para fazer um documentário sobre a trilogia “De Volta Para o Futuro”, para ser lançado 30 anos após o lançamento do primeiro filme. A campanha foi um sucesso e Aron conseguiu mais do que imaginava: entrevistas com o diretor Robert Zemeckis, os astros Michael J. Fox e Christopher Lloyd, e muitos outros atores e membros da equipe que produziu a trilogia.
Agora, Aron lançou um novo projeto no Kickstarter para poder finalizar o filme com todo o material que conseguiu captar. Para dar um gostinho do documentário aos fãs, ele compilou alguns trechos de entrevistas em um trailer do documentário (veja acima), gerando muita nostalgia e a certeza de que “Back In Time” será um sucesso. O documentário está marcado para estrear em outubro de 2015, um mês especial para todo fã de “De Volta Para o Futuro”.
