Coors Silver Bullet Love Train Commercial
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, June 10, 2005 8:48 AM
How many of you have seen the long version or the short version of this new commercial? It is a computer generated silver bullet train with the O'Jays singing their 1973 classic "Love Train" and Ice-T has a cameo appearance.

I think it is a very cool commercial with a cool looking train. I would love to get a MPG file of this. Has anyone seen where we can get a "sample" movie file of this commercial?

Thanks

Saw it this a.m. on ESPN's "Sports Center." Certainly a creative use of graphics and the music.

But will it sell beer?

I'm just your average, everyday, uncivilized howling "anti-government" critic of mass government expenditures for "High Speed Rail" in the US. And I'm gosh darn proud of that.

I know I am going to sound like a beer snob in saying this, but I think the recent Coors’ commercials are rather droll and would chase away people who are really into beer (for taste rather than inebriation).

One of the points of the Coors Cool Train Commercial, as well as other recent Coors’ commercials, is how good their beer taste cold. Cold masks flavors in a beer and a beer that is served best cold is synonymous with beer that does not have a lot of flavor, natural smoothness, or character.

Sadly, I think this commercial will be effective within a certain demographic; but, given the growing popularity of microbreweries and the slow but steady education of the American pallet, I think beers such as Coors are living on borrowed time.

You mean there's a train in that commercial? Sorry, I was concentrating on the bikinis. :-)
