Ah. I figure it's gotta be a bit of a letdown when you get the iPhone and watch a movie on the teeny tiny screen after having seen the iPhone commercials on a giant screen tv. "But the picture looked so much larger when we saw the tv ads..."

The Italian Job (new one) featured in Apple's new iPhone commercial!
Shows the scene where the 3 MINIs come racing out of the sewer pipe:

Check out http://www.youtube.com and search the following string for those that have not seen it yet "Bridgestone 2007 commercial" 
I'm a huge fan of that movie.
BUT.
I have a huge problem with the way the cars exit that tunnel. Sometimes Hollywood just gets the best of itself and total BS gets engineered into the movies.
It's VERY obvious the cars are LAUNCHED off a hidden ramp in that tunnel to get them to fly out at those rediculous angles. BAH. Doesn't even make the scene any better and really cheapens the whole bit.
As a car-chases-in-movies enthusiast, I take offense! lol
This is why the Bourne movies rule.
All the action is action that makes sense. Not complete fantasy.

When I was at Niello picking up Gromit after his fender boo-boo, a guy came up to the service desk, weating an iPhone. So we made him take it out and show it off. Surprisingly clear screen and images!

That's so cool! Our MINI's, the iPhone, and the people on this site. I believe I was watching Mythbusters too when I saw that new commercial! Well life can't be any better when you own a MINI, iPhone, and surrounded by cool individuals on NAM!
