I wish I could say the same thing. I really want the Cards to win but I cannot watch football on TV, esp. the Super Bowl as I hate commercials and cannot tolerate watching the little bit of football they shows between the hordes of commercials. Unfortunately, we don't have DVR or whatever people use nowadays.

No, there does not need to be a new Fast and the Furious movie. In fact, that series could have stopped at 1 and the world would have been better. Heck, I wanted those 2 hours of my life back, too.

So far cars, broken glass and movie trailers seem to be the 3 key elements of commercials.

I don't mind them making it into a movie if they did it well, but I agree that is a very curious casting at best.

Yeah Budweiser commercials have been very underwhelming so far, and they're normally among the better ones.

Wow, Cardinals O can't get anything going.

Yes. Was starting to worry that this was going to turn into a blowout. Nice to see the Cardinals put together a good drive.

I thought the Hyundai commercial was hilarious, because it was all foreign companies and Hyundai won North American car of the year.

I guess Gatorade was using the Super Bowl to unveil their new branding campaign? Good idea, I guess.

Up looks like they used leftover footage from Monster House to me.
Wasn't the first time I'd seen the trailer since it's been in theaters for weeks but I have the same impression every time I see it.
