A guy and gal are sitting on a couch when all of a sudden the lass starts screaming. Turns out she is reacting to a small spider crawling along the living room carpet.
The guy, whose facial expression is one of disbelief over his girlfriend’s overreacting, reaches over to pick up the spider. The spider then proceeds to flip him over, sending him careening into the wall. The spider then continues to bully the man, knocking him all about the room as the gal’s screaming hits higher decibel levels.
Then across a pack of Mentos rainbow treats–which are packaged neatly in predictable order so you know what flavor you’re going to get–appears a super which reads, “It’s better to know what’s coming next.”
“Spider” was directed by Brian Lee Hughes via Stink, London, for BBH, London.
The BBH creative ensemble included creative directors Dave Monk and Mark Waller, art director Nadine Akle, copywriter Alex Ball and producer Ben Davies.
Review: Director Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked”
It's the ultimate celebrity redemption tour, two decades in the making. In the annals of pop culture, few characters have undergone an image makeover quite like the Wicked Witch of the West.
Oh, she may have been vengeful and scary in "The Wizard of Oz." But something changed — like, REALLY changed — on the way from the yellow brick road to the Great White Way. Since 2003, crowds have packed nightly into "Wicked" at Broadway's Gershwin Theatre to cheer as the green-skinned, misunderstood Elphaba rises up on her broomstick to belt "Defying Gravity," that enduring girl-power anthem.
How many people have seen "Wicked"? Rudimentary math suggests more than 15 million on Broadway alone. And now we have "Wicked" the movie, director Jon M.

Before we get to what this movie does well (Those big numbers! Those costumes!), just a couple thornier issues to ponder. Will this "Wicked," powered by a soulful Cynthia Erivo (owner of one of the best singing voices on the planet) and a sprightly, comedic, hair-tossing Ariana Grande, turn even musical theater haters into lovers?
Tricky question. Some people just don't buy into the musical thing, and they should be allowed to live freely amongst us. But if people breaking into song delights rather than flummoxes you, if elaborate dance numbers in village squares and fantastical nightclubs and emerald-hued cities make perfect sense to you, and especially if you already love "Wicked," well then, you will likely love this film. If it feels like they made the best "Wicked" movie money could buy — well, it's... Read More
