Ads can be annoying. But every now and then, they're so annoyingly brilliant they get stuck in our heads until the end of time.
And if 30 second versions can get lodged in our bonces, imagine what it would be like if they were three-hour long Michael Bay explosion-fests!
That would be amazing.

The Role: …Mr Ewan McGregor, making his leading man debut after a tiny role in Being Human. He makes you believe that he can turn from quippy, likeable lad to cash-nicking con-artist in no time.

Ah, Family Guy. Cancelled more times that a TotalFilm.com writer's credit card and once consigned to being chuckle fodder for collegiate stoners... The series is now one of the most popular on the planet.
With creator, writer and voice actor Seth MacFarlane being a colossal cinephile, Family Guy is packed with in-jokes, references, homages and even entire remakes of films, from Hitchcock to Spielberg, classic to cult, there's barely a film they haven't poked fun at.

These days, it would appear that you're nobody unless somebody makes YouTube mash-ups of your work, or just rambling videos about you.
Take the case of miss Megan Fox. She might only have a few films to her career thus far, but her interweb fame has exploded like a lizard in a microwave.
