Cool Shit : Volkswagen Asks You To See Films Differently!

I often find myself waking up around three in the morning, a couple hours after I've gone to bed, stuffing my face with a Twinkie, taking a few swigs of water, and then hopping on the internet for 15 minutes or so, before returning back to my slumber.  It is in those brief time periods where I tend to just aimlessly wander around the internet, no one on Facebook to talk to and no new status updates to read.  Free of those distractions, I tend to find the coolest shit at those hours.
 
Case in point ...
 
Last night, I stumbled upon a series of commercials Volkswagen recently put out in the UK, not to shill cars but rather to show their support for independent film.  Their campaign is geared towards "seeing film differently" and the series of commercials present humorous and highly clever faux explanations for where the inspiration came from in regards to some of cinema's most iconic improvised lines.

Check out their Jaws & Silence Of The Lambs inspired commercials, which provide possible explanations as to what inspired the "bigger boat" line and Anthony Hopkins' terrifying line delivery during the infamous liver eating speech!
