Long rich, ALWAYS well-connected, bogus 'daring outsider'
Spike Jonze ---and for that matter Brad Pitt ---ARE,
whether they choose to be conscious of it or not,
fronting ---along with the rest of our soldout Hollywood
and media -for the most awesome genocidal regime the world
has EVER seen ---across the Pacific. FACT

Their uninspired, decades stale, comfort-zone slop is being
deliberately used to cover for the direct heirs of the most
horrifying perpetrators of all time ---in exchange for cheap
financing and VAST market favors. ABSOLUTELY TRUE

It's been 'set-up' for decades ---and THEY KNOW IT.

And NOW ---circle-jerk America is being underwritten by much
the same crowd. FACT

And so, from Scorsese to Spike Jonze ---no one can come
up with a genuinely fresh and inspired plotline. In fact, aside
from Hollywood's franchise-slum wampum, nothing's been happening
in years! ---ABSOLUTELY TRUE ---and they KNOW IT.

-In 2010 the ONLY movies truly worth seeing are those that aren't
being made.

STOP BEING TAKEN IN! ---and stop worshipping your screensavers!
'cause what you're witnessing is the most staggering and cowardly
betrayal of art, history and humanity of this or any century. ----Get wise!

----right.

The sumo wrestler in the commercial is Musashimaru.
He was the top of sumo wrestlers, YOKOZUNA, and his weight was over 200 kg at his sumo career.
So, although Japanese know that the commercial is made by computer graphics, they are surprised at the fact that Brad Pitt can carry Musashimaru when they watch the film.

'If you had to carry something (implied handheld), wouldn't you prefer it to be light'

There's my stab at it - but it may not be 100%. The ending particle yatsu has thrown me a bit.

If you like that, you'll also like 'Grizzly Bear.'

This reminds me of that episode of Entourage when Vinnie Chase filmed the Japanese commercial. Oh celebrities.

Best four minutes of my night.

Sad maybe.

My Japanese is shit, but I think it says "ketai suronara karui yatsu" - it has something to do with a light mobile phone.

What do flamers ever talk about?
I'm sure it went something like "Brad Pitt is the worst f-ing actor in the history of the world and I hope Spike Jonze's family dies in a car accident because he's a talentless homo, the music is stupid and this video makes no sense. Go Transformers!"
You know, the usual...

That was 30 seconds of Spike Jonze awesomeness. Never expected Brad Pitt to do this sort of thing, but I liked it.

Thank you,

Yeah, I love the use of Department of Eagles. 'In Ear Park' is a great song and a great album.

Note: I've deleted the whole conversation that previously took place underneath this comment as it took the discussion entirely off topic and became a flame war.

Anyone know what the Japanese translates too at the end?

Weird. Although it made about as much sense, I think I prefer the Wes Anderson/Brad Pitt Softbank ad from a few months ago.

When I was in Japan, every time a passed a SoftBank store, I had to remind myself that it was a Cell Phone place and not an actual bank. It was very confusing.
