Watching an old movie tonight...
"Smokey and the Bandit," for those who are interested and I had a couple
of thoughts during the movie First, watching Burt Reynolds in that Trans-Am humiliating all those revenue officers errr.... police officers was endlessly hilarious. Second, the pristine condition of some of the interstate highways used in the movie caught my attention. Shows how old that movie really is... -- "Duck or you'll be talking out of your ass!" --Buford T. Justice |

Yeah, I was disappointed to hit the TV Guide channel last night and see
that I'd pretty much missed it. I liked it back in the day -- and except for such details as the speed limit (a younger generation might view it as a horror movie) and the unavailability of Coors back east, think it has aged gracefully. The director and cast brought some genuine heart to what could have been just a full employment program for stunt drivers. What it did for the proliferation of CB radios and Trans Ams with giany gooneybird graphics on the hood... well... > the pristine condition of some of the interstate > highways used in the movie caught my attention. > Shows how old that movie really is... If memory further serves, the Deep South was home to some of the last stretches of the original Interstate system to be pushed through. And of course a well-made highway ages better there, by and large -- it doesn't get hit as badly by the frost-heaving and ubiquitous potholes of the rustbelt, the pizza oven heat of the low desert, the ground motion of California, etc. --Joe |
