What's the point of a trailer if it's already in theaters? These trailers ain't cheap!

For that much, there will be plenty of word of mouth, no trailer is needed any longer.

Think, People!

There will be a lot of TV spots for 24... since the SB is on FOX

Victoria's Secret is back as a Super Bowl advertiser for the first time since 1999...

This year's ad, however, is coyly G-rated. Supermodel Adriana Lima is modest by Victoria's Secret standards as she sits in a chair tossing a football and flirting. The theme: the games men and women play.

http://www.usatoday.com/money/advertising/...wl_N.htm?csp=34

Also Alicia Keys might sing prior to the game.

Doubt it seeing as theres no date for 24 yet and will probably be Jan 2009.

Paramount & Universal movie Speculations

Paramount - Indy 4, Star Trek, Iron Man, Spiderwick Chronicles

Universal - Incredible Hulk, Hellboy 2, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,

I bet Fox will also have some too... In house, right?

X-files 2, Jumper, Horton Hears Who, maybe... Hopefully X-files 2 Teaser!!!

GO DADDY SPOT REJECTED BY FOX CENSORS - "According to the Arizona Republic, Go Daddy?s most recent submission was shot down by Fox execs because it contained three separate uses of the word ?beaver? by spokesperson/race car driver."

Iron Man Annouced? I looked up some, and found that's the case.

Warner Bros have also bought time? Not at Adage.com, but other site said that's the case. Hmmm, Batman?

The 2008 Super Bowl will contain more than 30 minutes of commercials, not including marketing messages from the NFL or ads promoting Fox programming. Along with automakers and movie studios, the list of advertisers includes perennial entrants, as well as some who are back in the big game after several years' absence.

Budweiser: Anheuser-Busch, the game's top advertiser and locked in as the Super Bowl's exclusive beer marketer through 2012, is planning eight commercials that reflect the importance of its core Budweiser and Bud Light brands. While still in the midst of focus groups with 600 consumers and 20 potential ads, the brewer says spots sure to make the cut involve a cat and the special abilities Bud Light gives and a man who brings a big wheel of cheese to a wine and cheese party.

This year's spot featuring the iconic draft horses -- and one hard-working horse named Hank who doesn't make the cut to join the team -- tested higher with focus groups than the brewer has ever seen before.

"People are really looking for a positive, reinforcing message in this time of cynicism," said Bob Lachky, executive vice president of global industry and creative development for Anheuser-Busch. Most of the ads are from DDB Chicago.

CareerBuilder.com: CareerBuilder last year took heat for firing its popular office chimps and introducing a new campaign during the Super Bowl that included savage office workers using three-ring binders as protective headgear. That "jungle" campaign has been shelved, and the new "start building" campaign, with two 30-second spots, will break during the Super Bowl. One ad, meant to give an unhappy office worker a humorous kick in the pants, features a realistic-looking heart with legs running to the boss. (Tribune Co., publisher of this newspaper, owns a stake in CareerBuilder.)

Cars.com: Cars.com, absent from the game for several years, will launch its 2008 marketing campaign with two spots, one in the first quarter and one in the third. (Tribune Co. holds a stake in the owner of Cars.com.)

Coca-Cola: Coca-Cola, last seen in the Super Bowl in 1998, returns with three spots, one of which is being created specifically for the game.

Frito-Lay: Frito-Lay's Doritos brand will use its 60-second spot to showcase the music video of an undiscovered musical act that won its "Crash the Super Bowl" challenge.

Garmin: Garmin International is back with one spot, but its Maposaurus character, which drew mixed reviews last year, has been benched. Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management labeled it as the Super Bowl's worst ad.

GoDaddy.com: GoDaddy says it will be back in the game once a spot is approved.

Kraft: Kraft, another marketer back in the game for the first time in a decade, has a 30-second commercial in the second quarter that plays on men's innate desire for Planters Nuts.

Pepsi: PepsiCo's Gatorade unit will use Derek Jeter and Dwyane Wade to support the launch of G2, its new low-calorie beverage. Gatorade began running 15-second teaser ads late last year but didn't reveal the celebrities.

Procter & Gamble: Tide to Go instant stain remover is set to air a spot during the second quarter. Tide is a newcomer to the game.

Salesgenie.com: Slammed for its ad last year, Salesgenie is following up with three 30-second animated spots.

Victoria's Secret: Back in the game for the first time since 1998, Victoria's Secret will feature model Adriana Lima to launch its Valentine's Day marketing promotion.

This playboy sure can throw a party

The big-haired, devil-may-care, My Way heyday of '60s Playboy will come to life tonight in a 52,000-square-foot tent in the middle of the desert.

About 26 bunny costumes and the bodies to fill them are on their way, Hugh Hefner and his girlfriends are airplane-bound, and 500 sleep masks await guests in the retro-themed party's gift shop. It is arguably the most anticipated and luxurious Super Bowl party, open only to those with lots of cash or cachet.

Over 28,000 mini appetizers, 8,000 cocktail napkins, and 840 bottles of Cuervo tequila are ready. The vintage televisions are installed in the newly constructed Playboy TV Lounge, and gold letters on a rock wall spell out the theme: Playboy Desert Oasis and Resort. Nearly 35 valets have been briefed on proper vehicular behavior, and 60 rabbit-head pillows grace white tufted sofas in the celebrity cabanas.

But the most telling figure might be the number of would-be partygoers Playboy has turned away: at least 1,000.

The swanky, sexy, million-dollar soiree is part of the Super Bowl's entourage each year and is the talk of every town the Big Game visits. People want to know where the big bash is held (at the Rawhide Pavilion in Chandler), who is going (Amar? Stoudemire, the starlets from The Hills, and Rick Fox), and, of course, whether or not they can come, too. (Yes, if $1,500 to $2,500 ticket prices sound like a number they can handle.)

Between 1,800 and 2,000 lucky guests are expected to be allowed inside, including celebrity host and rapper Common and guest DJ Nick Cannon.

Each year, the minute one party ends, plans for the next Super Bowl party begin.

"We literally pack boxes and start talking about next year," says Donna Tavoso, vice president in charge of special projects for Playboy.

Arizona's bunny bash has likewise been a year in the making, and it's a biggie. On Wednesday morning, the party site was an empty dusty tent in the middle of a muddy faux western town.

Tonight, Playboy's newly constructed Desert Oasis and Resort will welcome media and guests from across the globe to one of the most posh and polished parties the Valley has ever seen, and the production team had just 3 1/2 days to make the mirage come true.

These party pyrotechnics required ten 53-foot semitrucks that came from New York and even Las Vegas filled with sound equipment, furniture, and lighting. Event mastermind Tony Berger of Relevent brought in 33,000 square feet of carpet, 22,000 square feet of decking, and 80,000 linear feet of black velvet curtains that line the tent.

There's a giant martini glass that will hold a live Femlin (a Playboy icon), and a glass-walled VIP room where Hef can court celebs and regular guests can watch and gawk.

In back, behind the curtains, there's a green-room escape for Hef and places for the Bunnies to sit and rest their feet.

"The high-heel thing is just something you never ever get used to," says bunny Pilar Lastra, who will debut a brand-new deep-purple costume tonight. The bunnies are in heels from 9:30 p.m. until 3 a.m., and "the cuter the shoe, the more pain you're gonna be in," she says.

"But the high heel makes all the junk in the trunk look very properly stacked."

Levy Restaurants is sending eight chefs, 25 cooks and 600 sheet pans filled with retro-themed appetizers such as mini Beef Wellingtons and tiny versions of Chicken Cordon Bleu.

In a nod to Arizona, there will be 1,000 mini honey walnut tacos and 1,600 Route 66 mini burgers with smoked cheddar cheese and green chiles. These required 400 pounds of ground beef.

An entire busload of girls from the University of Arizona will arrive to up the femme fatale factor, which already includes 20 models wearing nothing but body paint. This is Playboy, after all.

"You're going to pull up and see this behemoth that will glow out in the night - and it truly will be glowing," says Berger. And once inside, "you're going to think 'I cannot believe I'm in a big tent in the middle of a cowboy western town and I've been transported to this other time.' "

Hefner himself is quite excited. He actually spent time in Arizona in the '60s, when there was a Playboy Club in Phoenix and he would come to town with girls on his arm.

"I'm looking forward to it," he says. "I have good memories of times in Phoenix in the past. Now, it's just a matter of showing up and having a good time."

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.
