Don'tcha hate that? It's like the final scene in Thelma and Louise where
they drive off the grand canyon in a '60s T Bird. If I'd written the
screenplay, they'd have parked the car, signed the pink slip, left it with
the keys on the seat and then taken a run at the canyon.
When you think of all the trouble they take to avoid offense to animal
rights people (e.g. "no fish were actually harmed in the making of this
motion picture" in the credits of A River Runs Through It) you'd think they
could extend the same courtesy to us car guys.
And did Robert Redford and the movie crew, in the middle of Montana,
catching fish on film all day long, really go back to their trailers and eat
tofu? I'm sure plenty of fish got ravenously consumed in the making of that
motion picture. I sure hope so, anyway.
