the best part is where pujols is check swinging and then the camera pulls up to show the wooden mask, badassssss.
and Jaz... looks like i was right about my patriots, huh? bettis was proved to be a choker again and big ben showed his true colors. 3 in 4 baby.

nope more like chokin' on part of a rookie QB and bad play calling by Cowher. Dillon didn't do much. Bettis had just as many yards. Brady just played better overall.

That's just silly. They could have done it well if they had used traditional concepts of warriors. But a fucking cube of barbed-wire around the head? ugh.
- mattyd0
that was awful play calling by cowher. but, bettis keeps fumbling when it matters. dillon was more of a decoy which allowed brady to keep things consistent.

i agree on the weirdness of the barbed wire. urlacher shouldnt have been in it regardless.

im not that into it...
i thought it was weird the first time i saw it too.

Very nice comm...
I like how they didnt use traditional warriors instead they used more modern driven symbols for the masks.
Camera positioning/angles was well composed.

Sorry that fucking commercial creeped me out on Sunday
and its waaaaaay too long
or at least it seemed that way

wait... what is the traditional concept of a warrior?
maybe they're using an interpretation of warriors from tribal war, where the head dress is very significant if not THE defining characteristic. You can see this in Papua New Guinea culture, and a few others. Even the defining idea of a helmet from western culture shows that...

ants, don't be dense. It's like some hokey movie concept, like 13 ghosts or some crap. Of course they're supposed to be helmets that warriors of the past have worn, but the real concept is so hollow and trite.

I Think Nike and Quizno's need to get together and have a collective firing of their marketing departments.
I'm sorry, this commercial weirded me out.

yeah yeah well... given some of the comments I thought they actually might be serious. or something like that.
I'm trying to take people at FACE value (ha ha ha) so that I don't make a fool of myself. sorry for trying too hard. :)

i know its creepy, but the way the commercial is done is awesome. the smooth camera pans, the subtle fade outs...that kind of shit. thats what makes the commercial cool.
