Here's a relatively new Nike commercial directed by David Fincher and shot by Emmanuel Lubezki.

Fincher and Nike have raped my spaghetti western childhood!

Hopefully Morricone got a nice fat royalty check.

Nicely done... not as good as that Michael Mann ad last year with Steven Jackson, but impressive none-the-less.

I would have put that long hair into a ponytail because it's distracting, but otherwise, excellent.

I just saw that this morning. Didn't realize it was Fincher and Lubezki, though. I like the Michael Mann advert from last year better, though. And the "join the migration" NFL ad from this year.

That's funny. I thought Nike doesn't care about children being strong and healthy-at least judging by their sweatshops...

This mediocre ad required the talents of neither Fincher or Lubezki.

Shame on you Wells for not having better taste.

The Mann spot was better.

Glad you're branching out into sports commercials. Now if you could have a post for every Sunday to talk NFL, then we'd be getting somewhere.

If I was a director and they told me to shoot a commercial I'd film myself snorting Fun Dip off of some hot supermodel's toes or something.

THAT WOULD FUCKING OWN.

FOOTBALL IS FOR DOUCHEBAGS.

There's a major flaw in the commercial. The way LT's been playing this year, Polamalu should have hit him about 4 yards in the backfield.

(Plus, LT's nearly two years older than Polamalu, so the ages don't match up for the parallel development theme.)
