This one’s runnin’ all over the internet, but sweet Jesus, is it good! To promote the upcoming Carrie remake, some actors and special effects people prank coffee shop patrons into believing a woman is having a full-blown TELEKINETIC FREAKOUT. And the reactions? PRICELESS. (I especially love the guy with the pastry, and the woman who is so freaked out that she actually stops recording it on her iPhone. That’s practically unheard of!)
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
No, it’s stupid.
The old lady and the dog and the construction worker holding down the fort are the best…
On another note though, that stunt would only work in a safe, gentrified coffee shop environment. Try that in some rough dive bar and see what happens.
Sorry, WSH. An internet commenter thought it was stupid, your joy is therefore invalid.
Which is a pity as I kinda liked it, too.
From the first line they totally sound like actors. Not sure if I would have bought.
I give it a C+.
NEXT.
People will believe anything these days. Can’t wait to see what this generation of idiots’ children are going to turn out like.
She’s lucky she didn’t get shot by some wannabe hero carrying a concealed handgun…
