How'd you like to turn five again?

I always love it when the American Express ad campaigns include those "creative types".
Martin Scorcesse, while always an inspired director behind the scenes, sometimes makes some questionable acting choices (see 2004's Shark Tale). Here his bushy eyebrows and adorably rapid speech are just perfect.

Another thought: just imagine Scorcesse taking pictures at your birthday party.



Clearly the budget for the American Express ads seemed to go up as other influential artists began to follow in the tiny footprints of Scorcesse. This one clearly being the gem of the second batch. Longer and more blatant, quirky director Wes teaches us about what he terms "making movies". The result is lovable and aesthetically pleasing.

Wes Anderson eating french fries? Jason Schwartzman in a white suit? What isn't to love?

The only thing it's missing is a slow motion montage to a B side of a 60's super band.
