SUPER BOWL Talkback - The Commercials, The Game, The Insanity!!!

Published at:  Feb 05, 2006 5:45:02 PM CST

Hey folks, Harry here... Figured you Super Bowl freaks would love a place on the main page to discuss all things SUPER BOWL. Did you see that freaky fucking Harrison Ford Dr Seuss thing? How stoned do you think he was... or should have been? Freaky. So far the best commercial is that Revolving Fridge ad. And the game sucks. Although it looks like Seattle has their shit together... except that Holding call... fucking idiot. Well You guys take it from here...

    There's no "IT" movie that anyone is talking about that is coming out soon. Superman Returns will be mediocre to Batman Begins and I don't give a shit if you and your glasses don't think that I should be allowed to compare them. I will, and I can tell you now that Batman Begins is a much better movie than Superman Returns. "But you haven't seen Superman Returns," you might say...and I would respond with "it doesn't matter."

Anyway, Seattle needs to take advantage of their situation. That end of the half shitfest is their own fault. The commercials have sucked so far. Football kicks ass. And, I'm a huge nerd.

    WORST SUPERBOWL EVER!

    by lynxpro

    This is lame! While I don't care for Fox News, I have to say that football on Fox is head-and-shoulders above these jokers at ABC. The commentators (and I'm not talking about Madden or Michaels) are uninspired, to put it nicely. They need a Bradshaw or a Long commenting, and they don't have them. The commercials have been sub-par, and dare I mention how much the mixers for the Halftime show should be executed by firing squad for botching the audio on the performance of the Rolling Stones? And what the hell was Wesley Snipes doing in the band drumming away for the National Anthem at the beginning??? This fucking sucks, to put it bluntly. The NFL should penalize ABC/Disney by stripping them of the MNF franchise for fucking this up so badly. Give it to Fox, and pronto! ps. The Seahawks suck. There's no excuse for why the Steelers aren't up by 20 points by now...

    Uhm, just for the record, ESPN is part of ABC, which is part of Disney. So when I posted about the need for the NFL to penalize ABC/Disney for this clusterfuck by stripping them of the MNF franchise, I meant stripping it from ESPN as well. Or restrict it so that all ESPN would get would be the Spanish language telecast rights to be shown on ESPN The Ocho while Fox got the real televising rights...

    all but conspires to keep out anyone that's beyond mediocre. That goes for music(basically, no good rock bands anymore, at least none that are heavy, play well, or attempt to swing for the fences like in the old days - Prince on SNL and the Stones here, while admittedly geriatric, are still more exciting that every rock group out now), movies(I'm sorry, how anyone can still get excited by special FX laden movies that ALWAYS let you down is beyond me), television(SNL last night, totally fucking horrible and the best people right now, Bill Hader for instance, I'M SURE, are kept off by Tina Fey like another TBer suggested), and, finally, as this Super Bowl attests to, EVEN COMMERCIALS. There's just nothing that goes out on a limb or takes any kind of a risk or, like I said, swings for the fences. Cause if you fuck up, at least you tried something different and, at this point, I think there's so little of that that pretty much anyone on here would give credit for taking a risk. That's why I'm anxious to see The Fountain, cause even if Aronofsky falls on his face, at least it looks like he's going out on a limb and trying something. More than I can say for pretty much anyone or anything else.

    Condoleeza didn't preside over the coin toss. By the way, I gotta say that the most pathetic commercial I've ever seen (besides those old "The Diamond Center" commercials here on the West Coast..."I'm a Credit Man") has to be the current U.S. Border Patrol commercials being advertised on Comedy Central and other cable channels. What a friggin' joke (in fact, at first, I thought it was a parody). Showing people gettin' silly on ATVs. Show a fuckin' Abrams tank if you want to interest people into getting a job with that joke of a Federal Department. I mean, a million Mexicans illegally crossing the border annually cannot lie about the effectiveness of the Border Patrol. At least they had the decency NOT to advertise during the SuperBowl.

    that PHANTOM MENACE didn't have a Super Bowl spot back in '99. I think the WB is fairly confidant that people will be aware of a new SUPERMAN movie coming out. The makers of RUNNING SCARED...not so much.

    The Phantom Menace trailer already showed up in theatres the previous November, so people didn't need the reminder, especially for $1+ million. However, that 1999 Super Bowl was the first time many people had ever heard of The Matrix.

    Both teams played like shit, once again the announcers did a better job of coaching than the coaches, the refs were fucking awful, as they have been throughout the entire playoffs, hands down the biggest play of the game was when the refs took away the catch by Stevens to the 1 yard line. Instead of first and goal from the one, it was first and 20 from the 30, interception two plays later, trick play touchdown three plays later, ballgame. Neither team deserves the ring.

    It was a decent SB. Was it a classic like Patriots/Rams? Giants/Bills? Broncos/Packers? No. But it sure as hell wasn't an '80s-style blowout. The halftime show was solid, and I thought the commercials overall were better than they've been of late. In recent years there were a few times when ALL of the commercials just completely BLEW.

    The Rolling Stones rocked!! No sissy Mtv stars in sight

    by darth voodoo

    I was thrilled that the greatest rock and roll band of all time didn't feel the need to do some shitty Mtv song and dance number (ie: Aerosmith,Britney Spears,Justin Timberlake) at the Superbowl. Instead the legendary Stones just rocked the house. Over The Stones are a freak of nature. Over the last 6 months the Stones have scored a global #1 album (A Bigger Bang)went on the biggest selling tour of all time. And got their best reviews in 25 years. Not bad for a band whose origanl bass player is 70 years old. Who would have thought in 1962 the Stones would be playing to an audience of 1 billion people tonight. And later this week playing to nearly 2 million people at what is expected to be the biggest single concert ever? Long live the GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND EVER!!!

Technical issues aside, the Stones were brilliant. Try listening to music for a change instead of worrying about how cool the kids' clothes are or how much mopier Belle and Sebastian can sound than John Meyer, and maybe... Just maybe you could find a clue.

    As for the game: it was quite good. A bit more defense than anyone might have expected, but did anyone really think that the Seahawks offense would be as potent against that Stellers D? It was good to see the Bus go out like that.

Everyone else looked like they were ready to go back to their hotel rooms. I grimaced the entire show... The game was sub-par. The commercials were average.

    Reasons why I think there was no Superman trailer

    by big jim

    How many people watching the Superbowl won't hear about it later? It's one movie that will get about as much free publicity as it will pay for it (like Sith). The Superbowl is a good venue for movies that the general public is unaware of like V for Vendetta, or as someone mentioned earlier, The Matrix. But most everyone knows who Superman is. Running a Superbowl trailer for 2 minutes at (what was it?) $1 million for 30 seconds to reach an audience that will most likely be reached at a later date for less money is a waste.

    No "Grey's Anatomy" Talkback?

    by mr. profit

    A show that is the sleeper hit of the season. It's consistently good and well written, and better than a lot of the bullshit on TV right now. And the Post Superbowl episode did a good job at orientating new viewers to the show. The catching up was done in subtle ways. And the storylines last night were good. With a good cliffhanger. I'm surprised Herc doesn't watch. It's obviously the ABC show that will eventually eclipse both Lost and DH with the buzz factor and ratings since it's a more accessible show to the general public. And the bomb subplot was not silly. A bomb was inside the dude because he was an idiot who built a bazooka with his buddy and shot himself.

I hate when they say that shit with the Oscars as well. And with the Oscars, that goes for America too. Try to find normal people the day aftewards, in everyday life, who actually gave a shit enough to watch the show. Now imagine the rest of the world and their apathy towards the oscars. Also... fuck Bobcat for saying that about the Stones. When I want to see a former police academy star, I'll watch Three Men and a Baby. When I want to see a fucking twitching, ADD riddled, Sam Kinison knocked-off, voice lilting former police academy star, I'll watch Bobcat. Yeah, they could have played Gimme Shelter, or, better yet, Can't ya hear me knockin', or anything off of Exile instead of recycling the same two songs over and over and over again, but Bobcat fucking Goldwaith isn't in a position to say anything about it.

    The Puppy Bowl RULED!!!!

    by kentucky colonel

    I spent a good deal of time switching back & fourth from the game to Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl. What a fan-fracking-tastic idea!!! When I went to record it to DVD from my TiVo this morning I found out that it was filmed right up the street in Silver Springs, MD (I'm in Waldorf, MD). The Discovery Channel HQ is right across the street from the wonderful AFI Silver theater ( www.afi.com/silver ). I hate the traffic up here, but living in DC does rule! And about the game...II hate Seattle because they knocked the Redskins out of the playoffs, but they really should have won. The officiating of the game was TERRIBLE! When they ruled the first Pittsburg TD official (after review) I called "The Fix is IN!!!"....and it was. Seattle was denied and Pittsburg was predestined to win. Great game, lousy officials, so-so commercials (Nimoy was great, Budwiser "young clydesdale" was awesome, too), and the Stones playing "Satisfaction" (for the 1,000,000th time)...no wonder I spent so much time with the Puppy Bowl. I love puppies!!! I wish my own personal puppy Luna (age 5 1/2 months) coulda been entered. Ladybugs (age 15 3/4) wouldn't have been as frisky, though...Go Animal Planet & I'm looking forward to Puppy Bowl III!!!!
