Exploding Actresses

Imagine if Meg Ryan’s diner scene in When Harry Met Sally was so orgasmic that it blew her head off, or if Baby burst with excitement in the iconic lift scene from Dirty Dancing. Thanks to YouTube user Simone Rovellini, we don’t have to. Using visual effects software, After Effects, Rovellini takes scenes from popular movies and shows the actresses literally losing their heads. Check out Exploding Actresses below.

Michael Bay For Victoria’s Secret

I think it’s safe to say director Michael Bay’s penchant for blowing stuff up is unmatched, although Roland Emmerich did give it a good try in the disaster porn, 2012. Now, it seems lingerie company Victoria’s Secret need a little more oomph to their advertising campaign and tasked Bay to come up with a commercial.

In “One Gift. A Thousand Fantasies.” Bay shows off all the things that has made him famous – explosions, helicopters, desert landscapes, and rock music. Oh, and there’s a bunch of leggy women in lingerie – I have no idea how they got there, but I think they did their own stunts. Have a look at it below or see it in HD goodness on YouTube.

Well, what was your favourite part? I’d have to say Marisa Miller on the pool table hit the spot, although I don’t think her shot was altogether legal, one leg does need to be grounded at all times.

Another Transformers 2 Trailer Rolls Out

Another Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen trailer hits the Interwebs. It’s lean on dialogue but full of explosions and an obligatory near-up shot of Megan Fox to arouse a slight boner. I wonder if that’s representative of the film as a whole. Check it out.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is slated for release on 26 June 2009 in South Africa.
