Movie blogging

Not normal for me, but sometimes I have to do it.

Number 1: Why do highly trained SWAT police have to have their leader yell, "Go, go, go!"?

Number 2: When a monster/psycho killer is after a group of people, why does someone keep yelling, "Let's go", "Move it"? I'd be running like a son of a bitch.

Number 3: Why don't the Wahlberg brothers get recognition for their performances? They are low-key and completely believable.

Number 4: Do all action actors have to run from a fiery explosion? Just asking.

Number 5: The VW Beetles still show up everywhere. Just have to "bug" you. Hahaha.

Can't really post now

1955 Volkswagen Beetle

I need Bloglines to access sites and news sources and it is totally fucked. Well, maybe not totally, but enough for me. Meanwhile, I'll continue with my intemperate posting with this offering.

Is there one single movie that ever filmed a traffic shot in any country that didn't include a shot of a VW Bug? I think not.

My apologies, but once something like this is pointed out to you its impossible to ignore. You will always notice this. I am completely soulless and deserve your wrath. The good part is you won't be distracted for very long. The V-dubs are in short shots.

Now to really annoy you. Often the VW will appear over and over. If its yellow in the first scene. Additional scenes will also include a yellow VW. And again.

BTW, I've owned Beetles, but never a '55. That would have been kewl. If you look carefully, you can see this Beetle has a split rear window. I always liked those.

UPDATE: Why does the hero always drive an early Ford Mustang. 1964 1/2 up to 1968. Hollywood has no imagination or they have a thing for Mustangs?
