Throwdown

The Internet has been buzzing with the release of ‘Throwdown,’ the latest commercial from Nike, promoting their Nike Free line of shoes. Featuring a roster of athletes challenging each other in a cross-country game of “top that!”, the clip features some impressive, non-CGI enhanced displays of physical talent. But one of the more interesting aspects of this new commercial is that it’s directed by Jake Scott, the man who made this past fall’s ‘Welcome to the Rileys’ who just also happens to be the son of Ridley.

John Lydon, Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols

Lydon, known to generations of miscreants as Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, lives a few hundred yards from the beach, just south of Venice, and has for close to two decades. “Well, somebody has to replace the hippies,” he said by way of explanation, spitting the last word with the same amount of contempt that he did in his youth. “All the beach there used to be very, very hippie. Very crime ridden too, in the past. Very druggy. But Johnny came along and kicked all that out.” His voiced turned faux-sinister. “Yes, I showed them a thing or two about manners.”

Hulu Original Web Series

Back in December Hulu, along with Clear Channel, MySpace, Ford and Pepsi all signed on as sponsors and production partners for If I Can Dream, a new online docusoap Web series by reality programming mastermind Simon Fuller (American Idol). TheWrap (along with Tubefilter) covered the deal announcement, but overall, it didn’t generate much in the way of media or Web series industry buzz.
