For all you Michael Bay haters out there, he has finally done it, he found something worthy of his considerable talent.
Let me be the first Threedonian to say, “THANKS Michael!”
I wonder how much that cost Victoria’s Secret?

Too many blonds. Would’ve enjoyed a raven-haired beauty or three.
Also, Bay does have some considerable talent, when you think about it. His half-assery of the cinematic medium produces watchable movies, which a lot of directors can’t get away with. You wonder what type of greatness the man might be capable of if he tried for more than hack status for once. Then again, it could be he’s merely competent and knows how to be reliable with in that window.
excuse me? Too many blondes? HUH?
Take solace that most of them probably weren’t natural blonds.
Sure, I’d watch that movie. In fact, I feel like I already have. We had Cinemax when I was a kid, and I sat through Showgirls in the theater.
Commercials used to be a really great proving grounds or “Minor league” for directors. If you had an eye for visual flare. Ridley Scott, for instance, is still fairly famous for this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxRkocAPdJ0 done the same year he was directing “Alien.” He still worked steadily in commercials and movies up through the mid-80s, because you never knew when the movie career was going to crap out on you, and it was a good venue to be introduced to new technologies and stuff.
When the models @ 1:13 started walking three abreast, it was like he was riffing on the “Right Stuff” astronaut march.
(Hah! he said “three abreast!”)
For the life of me, I cannot imagine where people are getting the idea that we live in a porn soaked culture.
too damn skinny. Also, they’re what, 16 years old?
@ Justjack: “The Triple-breasted whore of Eroticon VI”
@ Kevin: Oh, please.
@ David there were at least three brunettes in there, by my count.
@ Kevin if those ladies look like they are sixteen to you, I’d like to know what they are putting in the water in your neck of the woods.
I think some people would find something to bitch about regardless. Are you sure you aren’t Warrant Officers?
Also, I love the shot at 00:27, I could watch that on a loop all day.
Just how much have you been watching this video?
To be honest, twice. It’s my job to notice details…that’s how you find things to blow up. :/
Marissa Miller is I think in her thirties.
I kind of like the shot with the polished A-26 in it. Hot looking ladies with some honking WWII firepower in it – very cool.
I think there are a lot more than 3 brunettes in it, though only their doctors and significant others know for sure …..
I’ve seen this commercial on TV at least three times, I think during NFL telecasts….
As a single man, I can’t imagine how married guys handle these commercials, when their wives are in the room. They have to look. But that’s to risk the dreaded question, “Do you think they’re prettier than I am?”
Then I figured it out–that’s the whole point.
The only reasonable answer to that question coming from a wife would be to tell her, “I was just thinking how much better one of those outfits would look on you, dear.”
And then the guy’s obligated to buy one for her.
Marketing genius.
Just hope those bits aren’t sagging too much, yet.
Well if they are, it’s most likely because they have been bearing said husband’s children, so he either better pony up for surgery, or be happier with saggy.
If it’s just age that causing the sag, maybe he better check the mirror before he decides he needs a new model.
I think they remark that those girls are too skinny and young to be attractive, Lars. And maybe too blonde.
mine doesn’t get too concerned. Its all make believe anyway. And they aren’t too skinny. You want skinny take a look at some of the pure runway and print ad models. You don’t see muscle you see bones. Period. I don’t believe one of those girls could get into a VS advert. There is a reason why Marissa and Heidi are Super Models. They aren’t anorexic. As a former anorexic I know what to look for. None of the VF girls are starving.
+JMJ+
Tyra Banks has said that she loves Victoria’s Secret (though she doesn’t model for them any longer) because they are the only client that has never, ever asked her to lose some weight before renewing her contract.
The girl shooting pool didn’t have one foot on the floor, which is a VIOLATION of the RULES.
(And Outlaw’s getting comments on this one!)
And I’m fairly certain that walking through a circus act in your underwear will get you arrested.
Poor Marissa. She is the only real Super Model of this batch. Without Heidi there its a very skant crowd.
Speaking of Marissa… I read over at Big Hollywood that Marissa Tomei is lending her name and talents to this History Channel, Howard Zinn deal. Nobody’s seen it yet, so the jury is out, but it’s hard to imagine how a show based on the writings of Zinn and featuring Matt Damon and Danny Glover is going to turn out alright.
@ Lars: >>>As a single man, I can’t imagine how married guys handle these commercials, when their wives are in the room. <<< As a married man, I can explain that that's where babies come from.
How come none of them talk in the commercial? ‘Cause isn’t that every guy’s fantasy, a woman that talks a lot? Boy, did they miss the boat with this ad!
Well, as one of my children put it when he was 4 upon seeing one of those commercials years back. Damn things show during prime time programming!!
“momma, why do they look so angry and sad?”
“cause they are hungry and cold” was my answer.
Lars, zoon politely changes the channel, more out of respect for me and our daughter, but also because of our sons. I would never ask if they are prettier than I am, I know they are, and even thousands of dollars of underwear isn’t going to change that. But chances are, they are not going to be willing to bear his children, wash his underwear, make his meals, and be absolutely thrilled when he walks in the door every night (and not just because he helps with the kids).
zoon used to look more at that stuff, didn’t bother me too much, it’s just looking. However, when we brought our baby girl home that all changed for him. He couldn’t bear the thought of someone looking at her like he was looking at those women. I really did marry the best of them.
Tracy those girls are not starving themselves. They can’t model for VF and be anorexic. Trust me I know what I am talking about here. If you want to see an anorexic model look to the girls who do pure Runway or Photo spreads for the big designers. Gemma Ward, who was the muse for Lagerfeld has quit because she got sick of having to be a concentration camp victim. Bing her name and look at the abuse she has taken for allowing her body to be what it is. Not that I approve of letting go to the point where obesity comes to play but tehre is a huge difference between being atheletic and slender and an ambulatory skeleton. My trainer is shorter than I am and weighs 20 pounds more than me but she looks slender. All muscle. She could kick my butt to. Hard as I try I can’t do that. It takes a dedication that even I in my most furious Gym rat moments have a hard time with. Rather get through with my workout get out and get some stuff done.
I may be an older married man, but my fantasies don’t run to thin children (yes, they do look 16, and obviously you have haven’t been out here on Left Coast)…not complaining…but wouldn’t you rather see Zeta-Jones in the video?
This just kind of further proves that any good comedy writer would have no real trouble spoofing Michael Bay’s style of movies – he kind of does it already.
