“Recognize them?” No. Who are they? Presumably they are the “Workaholics guys” mentioned in the title…

Umm… That’s not how commercials work. NBC doesn’t pick when to air what commercials. Advertisers buy a timeslot. NBC is contractuall obligated to air that advertisement in that timeslot. It’s pre scheduled. The commercial would have aired no matter who won.

That’s because it’s weird. Why not just put the ketchup/ relish/ hot sauce/ mayo/ whatever ON the burger? .

“There we were, a group of my friends sitting on a picnic table outside of a local burger shack in Laguna Beach, and I was trying to dunk my burger into a cup of ketchup that looked like this:” Who the hell is using these to dunk their hamburger in? WHO DUNKS THEIR BURGER IN ANYTHING?

I don’t mind blatant advertising for sponsors when that sponsor is Red Stripe Beer.  Always had the best beer commercials, and these new ones with the ska/ reggae band are hilarious. I do miss the Red Stripe Ambassador, though.

Alright, Daniel Day Lewis is my second choice. Josh Brolin is no longer the ONLY choice.  But I could see Daniel Day Lewis in a myriad of other roles just as easily. He’s such a good actor (though notoriously difficult to work with) I could see him being Dutch, Bill, one of the FBI agents, heck, even as Nigel West Dickens if he packed on a lot of weight.

Ha! When my friends and I wer ehaving this conversation Daniel Day Lewis was the second name put forth. He’s fantastic, and he’d be my second… after trying relentlessly to get Brolin. But I’d rather have him as one of Marston’s former gang members.

I would LOVE a Red Dead Redemption movie, but Brad Pitt is a terrible choice to play John Marston. Josh Brolin is the ONLY choice.

I don’t work in this industry or have any training or knowledge of how it works whatsoever, and I understood every word of that e-mail. It makes complete sense.

Props for including Marge Gunderson though.
