A coffee maker saves George Clooney's life

George Clooney and John Malkovich star in this new McCann Paris ad, directed by Robert Rodriguez, for Nestlé's Nespresso. Clooney gets demolished by a falling piano, but Malkovich, at the pearly gates, gives him a second chance at life in exchange for his Nespresso coffee maker. Clooney once insisted he wouldn't do just any old commercial, but this spot isn't even as good as Spike Jonze's Softbank spots with Brad Pitt. Via Animal.

I blame the planners for this kind of rubbish.

Well, I do now that I've finally figured out what planning is:

So..."George Clooney doesn't want to do terrible ads for crappy companies" He must do them for any company that can afford his fee.
