A man walks up a flight of stairs to his apartment. As he puts the key in the door to enter, a pair of rabbit’s feet are thrown onto his welcome mat.
Whoever threw the rabbit’s feet is not yet seen. But we hear his off-camera voice: “You’re a hard man to find, Eric.”
Eric turns around with some trepidation and nervously responds, “Hey, I’ve been meaning to call you.”
The camera then reveals the cause of Eric’s angst: a bunny rabbit with two front peg legs. The bunny explains that he found the two rabbit’s feet in his mailbox so he decided to pay Eric “a little visit.”
Eric hesitatingly responds, “Just thought you might”–but he can’t complete the sentence.
The bunny does it for him–“Might what? Want them back.”
“Yes,” confirms Eric, at which point a supered message appears that reads: “You won’t need luck anymore.”
We are then introduced to Poker Wingman, an odds calculator that shows you when to call, fold or raise “so you’ll win more online poker.”
This darkly humored, offbeat spot was directed by Detroit (formerly known as the directing team of Woods+Low) of production house OPC, Toronto, directly for the client. The DP was James Gardner.
Alec Baldwin Urges Judge To Stand By Dismissal Of Involuntary Manslaughter Case In “Rust” Shooting
Alec Baldwin urged a New Mexico judge on Friday to stand by her decision to skuttle his trial and dismiss an involuntary manslaughter charge against the actor in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of a Western movie.
State District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case against Baldwin halfway through a trial in July based on the withholding of evidence by police and prosecutors from the defense in the 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust."
The charge against Baldwin was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't be revived once any appeals of the decision are exhausted.
Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey recently asked the judge to reconsider, arguing that there were insufficient facts and that Baldwin's due process rights had not been violated.
Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer on "Rust," was pointing a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal when it went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer โ but not the trigger โ and the revolver fired.
The case-ending evidence was ammunition that was brought into the sheriff's office in March by a man who said it could be related to Hutchins' killing. Prosecutors said they deemed the ammunition unrelated and unimportant, while Baldwin's lawyers alleged that they "buried" it and filed a successful motion to dismiss the case.
In her decision to dismiss the Baldwin case, Marlowe Sommer described "egregious discovery violations constituting misconduct" by law enforcement and prosecutors, as well as false testimony about physical evidence by a witness during the trial.
Defense counsel says that prosecutors tried to establish a link... Read More
