All the child sweatshops in poverty-stricken nations mumbo jumbo aside, you have to admit that Nike makes some pretty bad ass commercials. For over twenty years Nike has looked upon Portland agency Weiden+Kennedy as their primary. During that time they have continually created some of the most memorable and inspiring commercials on television.

11. I FEEL PRETTY

This commercial has everything you need for a classic. A catchy tune that is sure to get stuck in the viewers minds. 2 – A hot little Russian blond tennis phenom. And Johnny Mac.

This was without a doubt the biggest pain in the ass post I’ve ever done. F*cking NBC and their damn lawyers have taken almost everything off youtube and Hulu has the absolutely uber gayest region restrictions.
So I did my best in providing video, you’ll have to jump for a couple of them.

11. Cate Blanchett – Bio-hazard worker (Hot Fuzz)

I have seen this movie twice, and honest to God had no idea that was the incredible thespian Cate Blanchett behind that mask. I only realized it when doing research for this post and I apologize but I couldn’t find a clip from the movie.

11. Perceptor

Transforms into: Microscope

Perceptor is a scientist, one of the most brilliant minds the whole of Cybertron can offer. He is always looking to learn more, and his discoveries have proven invaluable time and time again. Though his specialties lie in metallurgy, electrical engineering, and other sciences closely related to Transformer physiology, his thirst for knowledge has made him kind of a scientific jack-of-all-trades.

He’s no warrior but his insight and intellect would be a nice addition to the autobot roster. Plus he’s the one who was responsible for designing and creating the Dinobots.

With The Dark Knight behind us and 2008 quickly coming to an end, we’ve already had two major titles pushed back (Half Blood Prince and Watchman), one has to wonder what do we have to look forward to in 2009? The following is a list of 11 blockbusters that you may want to keep an eye out for and most definitely get off your ass to go see.

11. Inglorious Bastards

Director: Quinten TarantinoCast: Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, B.J. Novak, and Samuel Jackson as the narratorWhy you’ll like it: Based in France during World War II, the movie follows a group of Jewish-American soldiers who were known as “The Bastards”. A group of soldiers chosen specifically t spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. With Tarantino behind the camera I’m hoping this will be Saving Private Ryan with an insane amount of slaughtering and brutality.

Gentlemen… let’s be honest. I know for a fact you’re all outstanding, hairy chested, motor oil loving manly men. But every now and then you’re forced to suck it up and take one for the team. Girls have all the vaginas and therefore have all the power and when that night comes that they decided you’ll be watching a chick flick, here are some movies that you might want to suggest. They’re guy friendly and won’t make you seem like a complete panzy sitting on the couch cuddling your girl, while she sobs over the Notebook or some other Richard Gere crap fest.

11. The Sweetest thing

Written by Nancy Pimental (the girl who replaced Jimmy Kimmel as host on Win Ben Steins money) it stars Cameron Diaz and Christina Appelgate and the always annoying and untalented Selma Blair. Pimental wrote the movie based on her relationshi with Kate Walsh.

WHY GUYS WILL LIKE IT: As far as romantic comedies go, this one is pretty guy friendly and relies primarily on crude gags as its source of humor. Including the memorable “Penis Song”, the glory hole scene and Jason Bateman and Tom Janes witty dialogue about relationship with women.
