Holidate movie billboards...

Happy Thanksgiving! This year may not have turned out the way you were thinking for you and your family, but if you're looking for some laughs this holiday, maybe Netflix's new romantic comedy, Holidate, can put a smile on your face whilst you're sheltering at home.

Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey star as two strangers who agree to be each other's no commitment "holidates" at annual holidays like New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day and Easter to escape the usual expectations and enquiries of family and friends.

Of course as with all the best laid plans, after spending time together they find they may have more than just platonic feelings for each other.

This suitably festive movie billboard was snapped along West Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard from October 27 to November 10, 2020.

No matter how and with who you spend this holiday this pandemic season, stay safe, eat, drink and be grateful.

Hopefully this movie with be the perfect plus-one for your day.

Gatorade Bolt 24 vs Bodyarmor sports drinks billboards...

Regardless of whether or not you'll be having a big family gathering for Thanksgiving this year due to COVID-19, the holiday season can often be exhausting, so here's some extra energy to keep your strength up in the coming days courtesy of these Gatorade Bolt 24 and Bodyarmour fruit punch drink billboards.

And just like you may find yourself battling with your siblings, parents or in-laws this holiday season over politics or who makes the best mashed potatoes, these super drink brands are facing off in the city skyline in a big way along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip.

Both sports drinks brands are illustrating great examples of comparative advertising, Gatorade's new Bolt 24 antioxidant offering aimed at athletes on and off the field shouts about having 30% less sugar than Bodyarmor Superdrink. 

Whilst Bodyarmor's super-sized message claims to have 100% less Red Dye 40 than Gatorade's other Fruit Punch product.

One health message may be about less sugar and the other about no artificial colourings, but in both outdoor campaigns the bottle shot is the hero of the billboards.

The Bolt 24 billboards were photographed on the eastbound side of the Sunset Strip's Mondrian Hotel, Santa Monica Boulevard, Riverside Drive and La Cienega Boulevard from October 13 to October 28, 2020.

The giant Bodyarmor billboard was snapped westbound along the Sunset Strip on the side of West Hollywood's neighbouring 1 Hotel on October 28, 2020.

If you need some extra oomph this holiday season when you're slaving away in the kitchen making a family feast to feed the hungry hordes, at least you have some choices to get you through day (although Daily Billboard finds a glass, or two, of champagne also helps).

The Stand TV remake billboards...

Not only are the adaptations of Stephen King's work on the big and small screen prolific, but the remakes of said work are also staggering too.

IT, Carrie, The Mist and Pet Sematary have all been remade and rebooted in recent years, and now it's the turn of The Stand courtesy of subscription streamer CBS All Access.

The 1978 post-apocalyptic dark fantasy novel gets a new limited series about a world in ruins after a man-made plague and a battle of Biblical proportions between the survivors.

Whoopi Goldberg stars as the 108-year-old 'Mother Abagail' gathering the forces of good together in the Boulder Free Zone, whilst Alexander Skarsgård plays the devilish 'Randall Flagg' leading an army of sinners, darkness and evil in Las Vegas.

The mini-series also stars the likes of James Marsden, Amber Heard, Greg Kinnear, Jovan Adepo, Heather Graham, Ezra Miller, Nat Wolff, Odessa Young, Henry Zaga, Brad William Henke, Owen Teague and Marilyn Manson.

These appropriately foreboding billboards for the TV remake were photographed along the Sunset Strip and Pico Boulevard on November 10, 2020.

With the world facing a global pandemic at the moment, this reboot of The Stand is more timely than ever, but let's just hope humanity's future doesn't look the same as this story though.

Just as this year has proven, when the forces of evil gather, it's time to take a stand.

The Croods: A New Age movie billboards...

Forget The Flinstones, this Thanksgiving it's time to catch up with that other prehistoric family, The Croods.

In this long-delayed computer-animated movie sequel, The Croods: A New Age, after leaving their cave in the first film the Stone Age family face a new threat, another family named the 'Bettermans'.

This family claim to be better and more evolved than their caveman counterparts, offering a glimpse of mankind's future.

This movie sequel features the voice talents of Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener, Kelly Marie Tran, Peter Dinklage, Leslie Mann, Clark Duke and Cloris Leachman, although good luck finding a cinema that's still open during this raging pandemic (it may be safer waiting for a video-on-demand option you can enjoy in your own home).

These movie sequel billboards were photographed along Lankershim Boulevard, Highland Avenue, Sunset Boulevard, San Vicente Boulevard and La Brea Avenue from November 10 to November 22, 2020.

Fans of the DreamWorks animated film franchise can also enjoy these billboards for The Croods from back in spring 2013.

Plus for another ad creative which pays homage to 'The March of Progress' human evolution illustration, make sure you check out this Gap Denim evolved billboard.

However you plan to enjoy Thanksgiving this year, make sure you accessorize with a sloth (it's what all the cool kids are doing).

California State Lottery Pac-Man Scratchers billboards...

Fans of the 1980s will love these nostalgic billboards for the California State Lottery Scratchers featuring the maze arcade game character, Pac-Man.

Get your quarters ready to scratch a new high score and gobble up all the ghosts to win instant prizes with these lottery scratch cards (no joystick required).

These eye-catching Scratchers billboards were spotted in the skies of the Sunset Strip, La Brea Avenue, Westwood Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard from September 14 to September 28, 2020.

What other 80s arcade games would make for great Scratchers themes? Maybe Donkey Kong, Frogger and Centipede would make for fun alternatives.

Vita Coco coconut water Complete us billboard...

This fall Vita Coco coconut water had a novel approach to engage a younger Instagram audience with its design contest aimed at recent graduates and aspiring graphic designers.

Their interactive task was to take this incomplete super-sized 'It starts with' art and add their own distinct creativity and artistic flair to make a spectacular head-turning billboard.

This giant-sized billboard was first spied along the Sunset Strip on a smoky September 13, then photographed later on a sunnier September 28, 2020.

Make sure you also check out these previous Vita Coco billboards filling the city skyline in years past, plus it's always great to keep an eye on the competition, so be sure to also take a look at these Zico coconut water billboards from recent times.

Then be sure to check out some of the Complete us submissions and see the winning design by Tyler Pate on display in NYC's Times Square.

Small Axe: A Collection of Five Films billboards...

This November 12 Years a Slave Oscar winner Steve McQueen creates and directs five original and timely movies for Amazon Prime Video's new anthology film series, Small Axe.

The stories are set from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s and tell personal tales from London's West Indian community, whose lives have been shaped by their own force of will despite rampant racism and discrimination.

In Mangrove, Letitia Wright stars as Altheia Jones-LeCointe a leading member of the British Black Panther Movement and Shaun Parkes as restaurant owner, Frank Crichlow, whose Notting Hill Caribbean eatery is subjected to continuous police harassment and raids. A peaceful protest leads to them and seven other people being wrongly arrested for incitement to riot and finding themselves defendants in the highly publicised 1970's Mangrove Nine trial.

Lovers Rock sees Amarah-Jae St. Aubyn and Micheal Ward meet and fall for each other at a reggae house party in early 1980s West London.

Red, White and Blue is based on another true story and sees John Boyega as Leroy Logan, a forensic scientist wanting to join the Metropolitan Police Force to change the racist system from within after his father is brutally beaten by the police in 1983.

The fourth film follows young Brixton DJ (played by Sheyi Cole) who is incarcerated during the Brixton Uprising of 1981. In prison he confronts his past and sees a path to his future in the true story of award-winning writer, Alex Wheatle.

And in Education, a bright 12-year-old boy named Kingsley Smith (Kenyah Sandy) is sent to a school for those with "special needs", which is really an unofficial segregation policy at play, until a group of West Indian women take matters into their own hands. 

These Small Axe billboards were snapped above San Vicente Boulevard and La Cienega Boulevard from November 10 to 11, 2020.

For megaphone-themed ad creatives, make sure you check out this Dear White People billboard, this Glee billboard and these Kate Spade billboards.

These films may be from another time, and another country, but their themes of systemic racism, discrimination, people of colour striving for equity and equality, the power of the people and the struggle against tyranny, are all too timely and relevant.

The film series title takes its name from the lyrics and meaning behind Bob Marley's 1973 song, Small Axe - "If you are the big tree, we are the small axe. Ready to cut you down, to cut you down".

A new film will debut every Friday from November 20 to December 18, 2020, so enjoy.

Disney Clouds movie billboard...

Sometimes you just need a good cry, a cathartic release to help make you feel better, especially in a year as challenging as 2020.

Fortunately there's always a heartwarming and tearjerking TV show, or film, on hand to help with those tears, take for example Disney's Clouds movie on its streaming platform.

Based on Laura Sobiech's 2014 memoir, Fly a Little Higher: How God Answered a Mom's Small Prayer, Fin Argus plays 'Zach Sobiech', a young musician who discovers he has terminal cancer and just a few months to live.

With limited time, he follows his dream, forms a band with his friends and makes an album, releasing the song 'Clouds' which becomes a huge hit and viral sensation before his passing.

This Disney+ movie billboard was spotted at La Brea Avenue and Sunset Boulevard on October 27, 2020.

True stories can often have more emotional resonance, so grab your popcorn and tissues and get ready to bawl your eyes out (in a good way). 

TriNet HR solutions billboards...

Human Resources are not the most beloved departments in most companies and organisations, so it's not surprising that TriNet has tried to inject some levity into their latest outdoor advertising campaign to help present their professional services in a better light.

TriNet provides small and medium-sized businesses with full-service HR solutions like human capital expertise, benefits, risk mitigation and compliance, payroll and real-time technology, and now more than ever businesses need help navigating this global pandemic.

Before this tongue-in-cheek humour, TriNet tried a more staid and conventional approach to its advertising.

These 'People matter' billboards were spotted on the side of the Sunset Strip's Andaz Hotel and La Cienega Boulevard from April 18 to April 21, 2019.

Meanwhile the recent giant back-to-work checklist was photographed along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip on September 2, whilst the standard landscape 'HR cleanse' billboard was snapped along Holloway Drive on October 28, 2020.

Whether you're working remotely or wearing a mask during your work day to stay safe, make sure you take the time to have some fun throughout your day, because when the world seems out of control, laughter really can be the best medicine.
