Anna Friel Recycling PSA (Now w/Lee Pace Ice Caps)

[littlebitocd]

"What's in your dumpster? A young man (Martin Freeman, The Office, Love Actually) who is too lazy to recycle tries to impress the attractive woman (Anna Friel, Pushing Daisies) who moves in next door by pretending his green-minded neighbor doesn't recycle. This pick-up trick slowly unravels as the man is forced to improvise to his would-be

I love how you give the WARNING for the accents! :) I thought the Anna Friel short was clever!

The singing in the Lee Pace one cracks me up! It's just so random! (Why does he put on his pants if they're just gonna get soaked! Not that I'm trying to push for a pantless Lee. *ahem* Not at all...) Aside from that, it was actually a pretty chilling look at what may (but let's hope to God that it doesn't!) happen one day.

Perhaps the most chilling thing of all is that that's exactly what's happening to polar bears. There have been reports of them drowning -yes, you heard me- because they started swimming to their usual places only to found that it had melted, and it was too late to turn back.
That's why the vid is so amazing, Lee's "character" is suffering the same fate as polar bears (hence the title "Polar Bear Man").

I particularly found the "they can't evolve back in time" line in that short really chilling. Ohh, poor polar bears. I didn't know that polar bears are actually drowning. *gulps*

It's unnerving at first, don't you think?? :)

Have you seen the Comic Con panel clip where Barry Sonnenfeld (EP & director of Pie-lette) asks her why she's speaking in that "fake British accent"?

Leaving aside the fact that these are PSAs/short films for a good cause, these are my observations.

OMG, Lee Pace in a bathtub!!! I usually don't notice guys' legs, but he definitely has nice ones when he's walking around in his boxers. And when he's putting on his tie, he looks like a mix between Ned, Don Draper and every fantasy I've ever had.

Also, I love Martin Freeman and the way British people say aluminium

You spelled it like they say it! That's so cute! Al-oo-min-ee-um.

I didn't know Anna did one, I'll enjoy watching this. :) Cheers!

I just attended a seminar on how the UK Government has pushed through a new educational policy on Sustainable Development being something which all teachers will be required to have a degree on knowledge about, so that includes environmental and ethical issues, so that it can be integrated into the taught curriculum - across the curriculum. I'm a teacher, and I think this is superb, if somewhat akin to bolting the stable after the ponies have trotted off. Anyway, I was getting round to saying I'm going to show my students the polarbearman video as part of a session. :)
