Pre-Flight Announcement
I think the pilot on my last trip was pretty new to his job. I base
that on his pre-flight announcement, which was:
"We're going to be taking off in a few ... Whoa, here we go!"

Amazing Honda ad

And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were amazing...
There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film.
Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history.
Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs.
There are six and only six hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film.
Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten.
They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real.
Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers: On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet. It looks a bit weird in the commercial.

A woman had a beautiful black cat with white feet named
Socks. Socks spent his days outside and came indoors only at
night. One cool October evening, he disappeared.
She searched for him high and low for several days, but all
in vain. The following spring, however, Socks reappeared,
looking healthy and clean. She figured he'd just been out
sowing his wild oats, and let it go at that.
Everything was back to normal until that autumn, when Socks
once again disappeared. The next spring, just as the prior
year, he returned. When it happened for the third year in a
row, she became very perplexed and decided to investigate.
She started by asking her neighbors to see what, if any,
information they might have.
She was down to the last house on the block, the home of an
older couple. If they didn't have the answer, she wasn't
sure where she would turn. So she went up and knocked on the
door. The lady of the house answered, and she asked her, "By
any chance, have you ever seen a black cat with four white
feet around here?"
"A black cat?" the woman said. "With four white feet? Oh my,
yes! He's the sweetest thing. My husband and I kept seeing
him outside every fall. We hated it that the poor thing had
to be out in the cold, so we decided that when we go south
for the winter, we'd take him with us. He's been going to
Florida with us every winter for the last few years."
