I don’t know why, but the above banned XBOX 360 commercial, and the suggestion that we are, as a species, now trained to recognize and participate in gun play, sans guns or any kind of actual threat/reason, telling. The audition tape is possibly more compelling. It’s like Pavlovian social programming put on more obvious display than usual, and an illustration of the coming boiling down of Mutually Assured Destruction into a mano y mano, planet-wide Mexican standoff.

That is fabulous. It’s like an Improv Everywhere bit. What I love most of all is that the red pant lady in the audition tape is so commited, by the end she sounds like a deranged chicken.
That lady is pure gold, her mind is in another place entirely. I wish there was a view of the crew watching her. It’s fun to look at the clip and try to imagine whatever kind of craft that the actors are internally trying to bring to bear on playing guns.
Oh, yeah, I needed a crew shot. That would be priceless.
