Vivian Kubrick: The Making of "The Shining"

Who would be allowed to film behind-the-scenes footage on one of Stanley Kubrick's greatest movies? How about Stan's then 17 year-old daughter Vivian. Very interesting.

HUMMER... SERIOUSLY?

From Autos.com:

The headlines read, "The Hummer H2 gets close to the worst gas mileage of any civilian vehicle. The Hummer Receives More Complaints Than Any Other Car. The Hummer emits over 3 times more carbon dioxide than an average car." And the list goes on and includes the fact that to replace the tires, good for about 20,000 to 30,000 miles costs $1000.In 20 years of testing we have never evaluated a vehicle that had so little going for it as the hulking, visibility inhibiting, H2 Hummer. The reason is simple; this is a road hoggish $52,000 glorified pick-up truck that gets horrible gas mileage, offers extremely poor visibility, and despite its enormous girth, has little passenger and storage space. Worse, its safety record is under investigation. Intellichoice has listed it in the poorest category based on ownership costs. You can run two or three regular vehicles on the non-renewable energy the H2 gulps at 8-10 mpg.

With all this going against your vehicle... how to you advertise? Try attempting to scare them with Natural Disaster footage:
