Fly Smaug Airlines... Wait, What?

There are cross promotions, and then there are killer CROSS PROMOTIONS. This falls into the latter. The main airlines of New Zealand, New Zealand Air, has decided to deck out their planes with full size decals of the legendary Smaug the dragon in lieu of the upcoming Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug movie release. The role that the country and its magnificent landscape has played in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy and the first Hobbit film is immeasurable, and it helps that the side of a 747 provides a nice canvas for promotional material that comes in the size of a monstrous dragon! Very innovative thinking, and a great tie in to what is sure to be one of the biggest movies of the year. The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug hits theaters on Dec 25th... check out a really cool promo video from New Zealand Air and it's newest wing man (see what I did there... wink) after the jump...

Win A Pair Of ParaNorman Nikes By Proving How Weird You Were As A Kid

I love me a cross promotional contest, especially one that can net me a pair of sweet ass limited edition Nikes. The promotion I am referring to has to do with the release of the upcoming movie ParaNorman. Nike wants to see what weird pics you have from when you were a kid. All you have to do is Tweet that photo with the hashtag #WeirdWins and you will be entered in the contest to win one of the 800 pairs of ParaNorman Foamposites that feature sick details from the film. They are extremely unique and since Foamposites are super popular and these are so limited they will probably fetch a pretty penny on the secondary market. You can click here to see all the details about the contest over on the Nike page and you can see some detailed pics after the jump...
