Just wondering if any of you have seen these billboards where you live?
I think they are interesting. At first, I thought that some kooky group was sponsoring them. IThen I say other ones with the tag "You have been warned."
(by the way sponsored by 20th century fox and promoting the Omen remake)
See story:
cool marketing...

about the billboards where she seems to have bought into it, not realizing that it is just a marketing thing
what was funnier than her post though are the forum rules included. my god, what a crappy forum it must be. jeez no passing judgment on the "value" of another's post.
You know that game where you add "in my pants" to the name of any movie?
I have to admit, I like the sound of; "The Beast in my Pants"
I saw one while driving down the 110 fwy the other day and it caught my eye, for obvious reasons, but I didn't know what it was about. I did wonder.
posting all caps is a direct violation of the forum rules
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-omen24apr24,1,3826622.story?coll=la-headlines-entnews&ctrack=1&cset=true A month ago, Fox first launched "The Omen" campaign with airplanes towing "You Have Been Warned" banners above key spring break cities. They definitely didn't go unnoticed — 911 operators and the FBI fielded a flurry of calls from terrified, bikini-clad beachgoers. In Panama City, Fla., a fighter jet was even dispatched to escort one of the planes down.
Oh no! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that was a BAD idea!
I haven't seen any in the UK yet, but I expect they may appear when the film is released.
As for that post, she must have a very vivid sense of imagination, or be completely insane.
OH NO - WE'RE DOOMED!!!!! LET'S ALL PRAY NOW!!!!!!!
Hell she'd be round to exorcise my cat if she knew its RSPCA ref. number - 666!
I anticipate a flood of complaints to advertising standards if or when the ad hits the UK - some Christians just don't realise there's no such thing as bad publicity
I love the Omen, I think it's a great classic movie. I have mixed feelings about it being re-made, since the original is so good. But, of course, I'll see it on release day (6/6/06).
I do know that the remake of The Omen (remember Damien) is scheduled to premiere on 06-06-06. I was at another movie and when the trailer came on, the audience groaned or laughed.
