He's cool Brad Pitt. His name should be on EVERYTHING he touches.

OK, here's what the ad says to me: "We're rich as fuck, fuck you". It also reminds me what good (NYC) movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's" is.

Thanks Mark. I read to my bride what you wrote and she said, "spot on". She also said, "yeah, this ad said to me, "we live in a world that you will never experience, and we really don't care".

Agreed. But what about this Pitt/Wes Anderson spot? It seems charming and memorable: https://youtu.be/g0u0oEUcasU . Would Copyranter give it a "not terrible" rating?

It's not terrible, but it sure as shit doesn't sell me on SoftBank.

The spot with Grandma dying again and again was my favorite and also sold me on the concept of finding a job I like.
