What if?

This is just a commercial for an investment firm, but I think any movie fan out there is bound to find it spellbinding.

The last of the V8 Interceptors? Not quite…

Here’s a story from the TIMES ONLINE about Adrian Bennett, a guy who’s such a big fan of the MAD MAX movies that he built his very own Interceptor, just like Max drives.

Bennett tells the times: “From the opening credits of the first film to the closing credits of MAD MAX 2 (what THE ROAD WARRIOR was titled in the rest of the world), my jaw was on the floor, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and I was totally hooked.”

Notice, by the way, that he even has his own blue heeler cattle dog, just like Max does in the sequel. What’s more, he’d done the right thing and named it “Dog” — just like Max.

And here, just to remind you why someone would go to all the trouble to build an Interceptor, is the trailer for THE ROAD WARRIOR — still one of the greatest action movies ever made.

Forget all those dancing TV shows. THIS is some dancing!

Courtesy of Mark Evanier’s News From Me blog, here’s a clip of the Ross Sisters doing a little dance number from the 1944 movie BROADWAY RHYTHM. Odds are, you haven’t heard of the movie or the sisters, but watch it anyway. As Evanier says, things get interesting right around the one minute mark.
