... it occurs to me that, in the scene where the Challenger comes up out of the ditch and sort of lunges back onto the road, forcing the police car to swerve--

--the car looks more like a shark than the mechanical shark in Jaws did. I mean, the 1970 Challenger actually has kind of a nice, if overly-serious, face, but there was definitely something very sharky about that underslung jaw.









(Yes, I do seriously think like this. And people wonder where my characters get it.)

Vanishing Point
Wow. Vanishing Point. That's that Barry Newman chase-me-across-all-sorts-of-unattractive-scenery-and-I'll-turn-myself-into-toe-jam-on-a-road-grader thing, ain't it? Could've looked it up, I suppose, but then, that's just not me. Haven't seen that flick in decades. What draws you to it? Best I recall it's pretty forgettable...as witness the fact that I'd forgotten about it until you brought it up.

Re: Vanishing Point
See, as long as you accept it as high-grade car porn, it's all good. I'm sure there's some deep seventies philosophical point being made... but I just like the car.
