What was wrong with the old sign, from many many years ago, that spelled out WELLINGTON in flowers? Sure, it's a bit "girly", but compared to the Wellywood idea it's almost brilliant. And why not have all sorts of signs, made of various coloured plants, that draw attention to topical attractions? For instance, a plant 'mural' based on The Hobbit - perhaps Smaug looming over the mountain. Or something. Anything but that flippin' weak rip-off.
is dat wea all my parking fines r going to..its a good idea but deaz nothing to be proud of ! the other part of me says..GRAB IT BEFORE THE KANGAROOS lol
Ouch... We have a lovely new Airport here in CHCH.. Sure it's a bit up and down and not unlike the rabbit warren of your bunker but we also put in a few random movements _It's kind of a technological marvel or 4D as I believe it's touted these days..... just to give people a taste of that which lies before them on a landing into Wellington.
@ArgentumNZ I personally think that the roller coaster effect you guys have down there is an awesome tourism card whereas in Wellington most people are inclined to kiss the tarmac on a successful touchdown into a southerly or a northerly or westerly or easterly without being further inclined to throw up on seeing they actually landed in Bombay India when they see the Wellywood sign.
@M0man the recession is still happening, we are coming out of it slowly, if you look at the statistics of NZ's economy over the last 10 years you will see that "barely touched by the recession" does not fit them at the end.
Have seen this in the original German (i.e. German subtitles), in which the only word I recognized was "iPhone" - presumably, the satellite connections weren't working somewhere on the battlefield that day!
I don't know if you did this deliberately, but 'goinkie' your comment about this video says everything about why people are against the Wellywood sign - "if you are going to do satire, make it original". BOOM, take that Wellington Airport
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
how can people say this is brilliant, classic and funny?
this is the least original piece of satire i have ever seen - this piece of video has been used in this way 100 times before .. ala the tedious Telecom XT Hitler. If you are gunna do satire, make it original - and if you are going to rip off someone's else's idea at least make it BETTER - the writing on this one is so so.
This is horrible. Why does everything have to refer to WW2 i am a german new zealander born in nz and am called a nazi. No germans a \re proud of what happens. and all of us hate hitler as much as you. horrible and racist.
@poopyfatso the fact that it's ww2 and hitler has little to do with it - it started because this particular piece of the film was so brilliantly acted that it made a perfect vehicle for parody. The same thing could likely have happened with another film. I'm also a German NZer and my grandfather was in the Wehrmacht in WW2, but this doesn't offend me in the least.
Thats hilarious. Im still laughing about the statue of Elijah Wood... nice work guys. Some of these numpties that are railing on about PJ should probably be asking what they've done for NZ lately
Your comment is so inept and meerely demonstrates the lack of everything that your monicker suggests... your comment in actual fact best applies to you, cretin.
@moneypowerinfluence1-So you list your job as a Marketing Consultant on your You Tube channel ...well I think you pretty well fucked up your job prospects pal! Everyones going to know who you are.....and who gives a fuck about you. Like MotorHussy says...your monicker suggests that you're pretty empty. You could of course show some grace and retract your comments.....look 'retract' up in the dictionary....begins with 'R'...
And the Oscar for creative sub titling in an original adaptation of a documentary trailer for a drama not reworked from a book but not truly original either kinda goes to...
