James Franco is a Master Multitasker Thanks to Samsung Galaxy Note

james_franco_samsung_galaxy_note.jpg

James Franco has stuffed everything imaginable into this Samsung Galaxy Note 1.1 commercial epic in which he lauds himself for acting in, directing, producing and writing movies as well as writing a book of short stories, acting in a soap opera, directing a dance company and directing this commercial.

As he wanders through his self-created epic he engages in all sorts of Note-aided tasks including diagnosing strep throat, solving complex math problems and engaging in a pillow fight with a trio of youthful hotties. Though how the Note helps with that last task eludes us.

The 2:45 video, which hypes the Note’s ability to aid with multitasking, even includes a Ferris Bueller-like send off at the end.


Film, Commercial Director Tony Scott Dead at 68

Life is full of seemingly random events that, when we’re not looking, take us by surprise and cause us to wonder, “why?” Today’s random, yet to be explained event, is the death of film and commercial director Tony Scott, brother to Ridley and director of the blockbusters Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop II among others. On Sunday, Scott jumped to his death from the Los Angeles County Bridge

Though reportedly he left a suicide note, the contents of the note have not yet been released.

Scott was a prolific director of commercials having directed hundreds through RSA Films. His latest was the currently airing Diet Mountain Dew spot featuring Mark Cuban created in partnership with BBDO. As with many of Scott’s commercials, it’s entertaining and amusing.

The man and his work will be missed.


Heidi Klum Lends Curves to Jordache Again

Five years after having fronted a collection and campaign for Jordache, Project Runway’s Heidi Klum is back as spokesmodel for the brand. Following an outing with 30 Rock cast member Katrina Bowden last year, Jordache will hype a collection that will be sold at Walmart. The campaign will include print and television.

Of the decision to partner with Klum again, Jordache President Liz Berlinger said, “Heidi’s beautiful and a great businesswoman and designer, and she also turns out to be an amazing dancer with great stamina. She danced from 10 in the morning until midnight in 5-inch heels. I’d have a hard time walking down the street in the heels she was wearing.”

The new television ad will feature a soundtrack created by Brooklyn’s Ian Love.
