This week, Ali Larter was unveiling the new Acura ZDX in LA, where she chose to wear a Brian Reyes digital print strapless dress – and to pose with (if you’re the producers of Heroes) the next best thing after an Ali Larter: Elisabeth Röhm. Which is nice. Some photographer called Erik Madigan Heck was also there. Look:
That’s less interesting though. But random.
Have you seen Ali Larter acting randomly? If so, let us know and we’ll tell everyone about it in “Random Acts of Ali Larter“
It had to happen. You don’t think I could continue this epic nostalgia-fest without mentioning cult kids’ TV show Monkey, do you?
For the uninitiated, Monkey (aka Monkey Magic) was a Japanese kids show that aired on BBC2 in the 80s, dubbed (with a couple of exceptions) by English actors such as Miriam Margolyes doing dodgy Japanese/Chinese accents.
It was based on a Chinese story about the Monkey king and his travels with a priest to recover some Buddhist scrolls, aided only by his natural cunning, a water monster and a pig-man and being a Japanese show it was completely mental: a combination of humour, surrealism, fight scenes and Buddhist philosophy.
For your delectation, the explanatory weird title sequence is below, but I’ve included a “best bits of” video as well. See if any of it makes sense to you.
Joanna Page has been tweeting from her new Sky1 pet show. Look, lots of lovely animals!
Ads are getting odd. TV tie-ins are no new thing for ads – you can look back more than 50 years and find them – but these are generally designed to promote just the products using the influence of the TV shows.
Now we have a Dr Pepper ad featuring the character of Dr Spaceman (played by Chris Parnell, who also voices Cyril on Archer) from 30 Rock that’s promoting both the show and Dr Pepper. That’s just confusing.
