This makes you proud to be a screenwriter! An absolutely awesome video:

“Never underestimate the power of a great story.” Brilliant!

A huge honking H/T to Nicholas Smith for emailing me that link.

I honestly have to commend the copywriter who came up with the idea for that ad. It's a perfect way to sum up a TV network and pull eyeballs in. No joke, I wish I spoke French and could get Canal+ here, because after watching that again I would if I could.

Genius.

That was high-larious. I didn't know where it was going, but it kept me interested, and certainly paid off at the end.

Wonderful surprise ending.

The writer(s?) must have had so much fun coming up with this!

I agree with High Dweller, no clue to the payoff, but worth every second of waiting.

I'm sending the link to everyone!
