i've gotta think i'm saving the day

Verizon Broadband has this new "Be an Action Hero" promotion where users can upload their pictures and insert themselves into a short 3D action movie. It takes a good while to see the completed film (in my case, it was 3½ days), but it's fun -- and a bit surreal.

(I'd embed the video here, but it auto-plays, which is a bit annoying. You can see the final movie here.)

[Action Hero Aly]

Aly the action hero, shown here parachuting to safety, is apparently a bit ... squinty.
