Heypartner-- which one of Another Brother's personal insults won you over? Well I guess I learned my lesson not to "debate" people who must rely on board administrators and juvenile attacks to bail themselves out.
Hey, don't bring me into this. I was just giving my honest opinion on the subject, not defending AB. Besides, heypartner is on crack or something tonight. He just freaked out on me in another post. It's nothing new.
Listen T_J, I don't need anyone to bail me out of anything because I posses the one thing that you obviously don't...the ability to admit when i am wrong. I respectfully submitted to you in earlier posts and you chose this joust, not me. These guys don't have my back, they are just on the same side of the argument. These same guys have ripped my ass before, and probably will again, but it matters not to me because I know that when it comes to the human element we are on the same team. To say that I have disdain for seeing white people in ads is a cowards way of shedding my opinion in a negative light, which says alot more about your character than your economic theories. I hope you have plenty of friends that support you and your pompous opinions, because in the real world T_J, you are just a suit with no substance.
Hey this is my first time posting, but i read the posts all the time. I spend like uncanny hours of the night reading up on the roxs (as many of you probably do too, lol). Well anways.........I'm not sure if its been suggested before (i think it has), but wouldn't it be cool to see comercials like Rush Hour (with either francis or mobley playing chris tucker, and Yao playing Jackie Chan of course). Seems like that would be more of a TNT gagg comercial or something, but it would still be funny. Now for an idea that i had that might be real cool..........Do like a Kung Fu kind of commercial in which Yao is training against dummy Centers (props), and u don't see the master till the end, and it could be francis or someone teaching him the necessary mentality for the NBA. This could have a old-throw back look to it, and be Kung Fu cool,with dubbed voices, or subtitles. Maybe even a karate kid deal like "wash windows, wax on wax off" type of stuff to show how he is being taught post moves, or how to box out. Well Tell me what yall think. And once again HOUSTON HAS THE BEST FANS!
Jeff, for godsakes, that post by Jorge was not directed at you. As you say. "don't bring me into this." I bailed out of this thread after making comments already made, before i read the thread. You really do get defensive, don't you? btw: look it up, I've been calling you clueless about your MoT claim for over 4 weeks now. As you say, "It is nothing new."
Leave me out of it. This topic has been spoken before. Last year when the Reliant commercials came out. I said then that these are not Rockets commercials. That is the point I made, but was late for the thread (Tim already made that point), so I deleted it...thus the "nevermind." I said I agree with Tim and AB based on their conversation and their agreement. I don't read your posts. Get off it.
Here's a small idea: you ever watch those movie-trailer-like 'previews' that video games give of themselves when not being played? Particularly the 2-man fighter games? Dramatic movie sequences totally rendered in 3D of each character, each only seconds long, yet including a dramatic closeup of the face, and quickly panning camera shots as that character does his/her 'special move' completely decimating their opponent. Each little clip, though very short, gives you some impression of the characters' background and style of fighting. I think it would be pretty slick to develop 3D modelled cyber players for the starting lineup, and have a preview trailer showing each one kick virtual ass on the jumbotron as their names are called for the starting lineup. And they wouldn't have to be exact models either- something with exaggerated cartoonish features, maybe going along with their nicknames. You could make mobley look a little feral-feline with long vicious canines, smiling like the Cheshire Cat as he slowly yo-yos the ball slowly back and forth prowling in Savannah desert grass. Have Francis's special move be a kind of warp as he 'winks' right past his opponent in a sick crossover, Ming's ridiculous height can be exaggerated cartoonishly as he flat-footedly, almost bored, swats away the pathetic shot attempts of tiny little insectoid opponents that splat against the screen with 'Spalding' tatooed on their foreheads. God only knows what could be done with Moochie's Virtual Fro. Anyway, this kind of stuff is something just about all young males relate to, period, regardless of race or income. The love of video games crosses all borders, lol. If it catches on, and the alter egos start being associated with our star players, you might be able to use it more and more in other advertising outside the whole starting lineup thing. If you're familiar with Gorillaz, a UK band, they've absolutely perfected this. A wonderful artist has made cartoon 'personas' for each band member. Almost all their music videos are done with these cartoons. All their pictures, website stuff, all of it is always with these cartoon personalities. It is very creatively done, and if you were to see any poster, any ad, that even just had a section of the face of one of those characters, no text, nothing else, you knew it was an ad for Gorillaz.
