Is there anything worse than flying from Newark to San Francisco? Maybe it’s watching mannequins taking this cross-country flight. Talk about tedium. And yet there’s something a little brilliant about this six hour advertisement from Virgin Airlines — which promises a more inspiring flight. I mean how many six hour advertisements have you seen, let alone ones that have “action” from start to finish? Somewhere, someone’s going to watch this thing all the way through. Maybe it’s you.

It’s like a bad Andy Warhol concept film. Just Google his sleep film, or the Empire State Building one….
Of course we have some of those Warhol films in our archive.

Brad Neuberg hasn’t watched this. This is not a stale concept, this is epic! Watch the dream sequence at 51 minutes.
People with no good ideas of their own trash other’s out of self defense. This is brilliant in some way, not sure which though. Dream sequence is cool.
