Oh my friends, I present to you one of the most refreshing commercials to come out in the past couple of months. It is a Coke commercial directed by the fabulous Japanese artist by the name of Nagi Noda. It’s bright. It’s original. It’s worth checking out. Plus, Jack White composed original music for it. If you are a White Stripes fan, you’ll be shocked to find out that the vocals in the commercial are in fact done by the man himself. Surprise, surprise, considering the fact that he sounds like a watered down pop version of himself. Nevertheless, the video and the music will blow your mind.

Speaking of creative geniuses, Sofia Coppola recently received an extremely poor reception at the premiere of her new film “Marie Antoinette* at the Cannes Film Festival. The audience actually booed the flick. *Gasp* Even though I have strong hopes that the film will be up to Ms. Coppola’s standards, I still fear that the audience may be on to something. If the movie poster is any indication of what it’ll be like, schmaltzy and a bit cheesy, then maybe just maybe they’re right. Please Ms. Coppola, please Mr. Schwartzman, tell me they’re wrong.
