Super Bowl ad rates in recent years have experienced mind-numbing inflation: this year, a 30-second ad is estimated to go for $4 million. That’s up from $1.5 million in 1999.
Sure, companies (such as Atlanta-based Coca Cola) are chasing after the largest audience of any TV program in a given year: more than 100 million eyeballs. But they are also hoping for that ancillary free social media buzz and extra free publicity generated by the likes of me.
There are common subjects every year: cute animals, cute kids, clueless guys, sexy women, cartoon violence, famous people.
Here are some of the buzz-worthy ads forthcoming and many companies are creating “preview” teaser ads for their actual ads.
- A “Full House” reunion! Watch Bob Saget, Dave Coulier and John Stamos in an ad for Dannon’s Oikos greek yogurt. Here’s the warm up, where the trio appear to still be living together nearly two decades  after the show had ended:

- Rival greek yogurt company Chobani will also air an ad but it will feature an anthopromorphic bear.
- Stephen Colbert will star in ads for pistachios.
- A “Seinfeld” reunion of sorts: Larry David (creator of the show), Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld were seen at Tom’s Diner, which was used as the exterior of Monk’s, the diner they frequented until the show ended in 1998. The New York Daily News said it was for a Super Bowl ad but what product? That isn’t known.
- Fan of Scarlett Johansson? Sodastream brings the sexy actress aboard.

- Bud Light will feature Don Cheadle and a llama.

- And there’s Arnold Schwartzeneggar and ping pong:

- Toyota will bring Terry Crews in with the Muppets.
- Laurence Fishburne re-enacts his role on “The Matrix” for Kia.
- Volkswagon taps Carmen Electra and every touchstone of every Super Bowl ad ever:

- And how this Butterfinger ad will play out, it might err on the side of raunchy.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-
Image
“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Take a tour of Tyler Perry's massive new studio on a former Army base in Atlanta, Georgia

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
