In homage to the old school, Ford actually released a souped-up Bullitt edition Mustang in 2001 - they made about 5,700 of them. You might have seen one, as they did make them in black (as well as blue and green). The one I have actually seen on the road was in green.
If it had no spoiler and a brushed aluminum fuel door, it was either a 2001 Bullitt, or someone trying to look like one. Or maybe it was just a Mustang driver who really liked the movie :)
My Information Architecture book noted today, "If you're too young to remember Gopher, consider the category/subcategory navigation on an iPod instead." (p. 120). I suppose if I can't remember BBS's, I should consider the internet instead?
Kyle might be interested to know that yesterday I followed a black Mustang to work (parked at the building). License plate: Bullitt. You have to be old school to know the reference, or have Kyle recommend the movie on Netflix. It was made the year I was born.
Disney is considering rereleasingSong of the South. There is some concern about the portrayal of southern plantation blacks. I specifically remember watching the movie in '72 and loving the stories and the songs. I'm under no delusion that master-slave plantation dynamics were idyllic. I'm glad they're considering putting it back out so Eryn can enjoy Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah and some good storytelling.
