Move parodies are par for the course when it comes to Super Bowl commercials â with the typical move being to take a classic movie and put a modern spin on it. Past examples of this model have included films like
Groundhog Day, but this year the one that everybody is talking about is the new Cadillac spot spoofing
Edward Scissorhands. It s partially exciting because it features Winona Ryder reprising her role of Kim Boggs from the Tim Burton classic, but mostly earning attention because it features Timothee Chalamet as Edward s son, Edgar Scissorhands. You can check out the ad below:
Life’s hard for a young man with scissors for hands. While Edgar appears to be more accepted by the community than his father was, he struggles to fit in: he pops a football during a game, ruins a science lecture demonstration, and is banned from the bus when he cuts the stop cable. In fact, the only time he seems happy is when he’s wearing a virtual-reality headset and pretending to drive.

Life is hard for a young man with scissors for hands. So Kim buys him a Lyriq, whose “Hands-Free Super Cruise” feature allows him to drive for real.

Another surprise get came with T-Mobile s Super Bowl ad, a hilariously shady meet-cute tale that ostensibly told the story of how the seemingly diametrically opposed musical celebs Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton ended up together. It involved Adam Levine, a poor cell connection, some clever writing, and a whole lotta secrecy to keep it under wraps until its Sunday debut.
Some Good Buds
Post Malone, Cedric the Entertainer, the Bud Knight, the guy who tearily says I Love You, Man and other Bud commercial fan faves teamed up for Bud Light Legends commercial. With Budweiser s advertising focus shifted to Bud Light, we have truly entered a PostMapocalyptic World.

We’ve delayed talking about this long enough, but finally, we have to dig into the question that’s haunted the internet and entertainment for most of 2021: just what is going on with Armie Hammer. There’s a lot of rumors and allegations going on against the star of
The Lone Ranger, and it’s hard to sort out what’s just alleged and what we know for a fact. But we’re here to help.
Armie Hammer has been somewhat of a mystery to Hollywood for years. He’s the son of an incredibly wealthy family, with enough old money pedigree that his first big magazine appearance was in a piece called “Fortune’s Children” profiling young heiresses, nobility, and trust funds bros in Vanity Fair, where he appeared alongside folks like Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. What Armie Hammer exuded was a privilege and the kind of untouchability that only a very rich, handsome white guy could have.
