I love this shit. They had a nice budget for that Dial H short. Period cars in that wide shot in the French Riviera, awesome. I love that companies are doing more creative, arty viral marketing.

And what the fuck is this Die Hard you guys keep bringing up? Is it some sort of 12 Rounds knock-off?

You can’t really compare the Conchords clip to these. The Conchords are emulating the scopitone, while the Stella spots are meant to reflect feature films. They’re two completely different forms!

Perhaps The Stella fellas have been watching Flight of the Conchords. Here is it done way better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5hrUGFhsXo

Yeah, definitely Die Hard with the riddles and such. Hilarious spoofs though.

The name Inspector Meqlain is a dead giveaway.

Come on Wintle, a short is called Dial Hard and you think it’s a riff on 12 Rounds? Really?
Wouldn’t Die Hard 3 be more accurate?
