I didn’t remember the “80s song” part, but I was thinking of that spot during the last commercial break.
Movies so far… I know every action movie these days is pretty much a self-parody, at least to a certain degree, but Morgan Freeman as an assassin? Seriously? No. The Iron Man commercial was okay, but the suit looked a little too CGI. And frankly, I wanted them to crank the Black Sabbath song really loud instead of letting it play quietly in the background. It’s obvious, but it’s obvious for a reason.
The Doritos one had me fooled. I was sure he was gonna polish off the bag, stare forlornly at the little corner he cut off, and try to grab it back from the trap, which I’m sure is what they wanted you to think.
And I didn’t watch it. What I was trying to say (and edited out) wasn’t just that he was playing an assassin, but that he’s apparently in this glossy, big-budget action movie about super-assassins with Angelina Jolie. Kinda weird.
