oh man that was bad. it was only after id taken the shear brunt of it the first time that i could watch it and appreciate the slick directing afterwards - with the sound down.

why put so much into production but so little into script development?

and how come she takes off without getting her 15%?

The Mercedes Massacre.
And she deosn't only takes off w/o her 15%, but she leaves empty handed as well...

in reference to "the "transporter" I guess.

Bad acting. Whom are they targeting with that ad? Girls?

They had the idea... they just didn't nail it. Why does she go?! Is she just selling the car? She's a beauty, anyhow.

This spot is actually a direct reference to the movie The Driver (1978), although in that film he completely smashes up the car hitting posts and barriers in the parking garage, just to F with them
