Wedding Crashers duo Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are teaming up again for The Internship. The comedy directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) and written by Vaughn and Jared Stern follows the guys landing a coveted internship at Google. The all-star cast also includes John Goodman, B.J. Novak, Aasif Mandvi, Rose Byrne,Max Minghella, and apparently Will Ferrell makes a cameo. The question remains if he can one-up his Chaz “Mom the meatloaf, f–k” appearance from Wedding Crashers. A very enjoyable trailer for The Internship is above. It hits theatres June 7. And who cares if it’s really one giant advertisement for the company behind Android–this looks funny.

Power outage and all, Super Bowl XLVII proved to be an exciting game after all. Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens dominated the game early on and the San Fransisco 49ers used the approximately 35 minutes of dark downtime to reenergize and make an unexpected comeback that nearly ended the game in their favor. When the fourth quarter came to a close, however, it was the domineering Ravens and MVP Flacco on top besting the 49ers 34 to 31.
Unlike previous years, last night’s Super Bowl did not break ratings records to become the most watched telecast in history. 108.41 million people tuned into the big game making it the third most watched TV program behind Super Bowl XLVI (111.3 million) and Super Bowl XLV (111 million). (And if you’re curious, the hyped post-Super Bowl episode of Elementary attracted 20.8 million viewers with a 7.8 rating in the 18-49 demo. These numbers are huge for the CBS freshman procedural, but they do not match the 37.6 million viewers that tuned into The Voice‘s post-game telecast last year.) Maybe we’ll see another record-breaking explosion in eyeballs next year?
Moving onto the ‘mericals. This year companies had to fork over a whopping four million dollars for a 30-second spot. I’ve posted a bunch of my personal favorites after the break, including those from Volkswagon, Oreos, Doritos, and Taco Bell and trailers for anticipated movies like Iron Man 3 (see the extended cut!), Star Trek, and Fast and Furious 6. You can rewatch nearly all of them at YouTube’s Ad Blitz center. Which are your favorites? Continue reading Super Bowl XLVII: the not quite record ratings and the commercials
