Yeah. British Airways has scored a neat coup - they have the TWO best
currently running commercials right now. This one, very arty type, and
the takeoff of Close Encounters ("Roger, Manhattan, you are clear
for landing." .. "This is Manhattan, descending to 2000 feet" .. etc) -
you can tell what they are emulating by the crashing chord at touchdown.
Of course, the first time I saw the second one, I thought \\Cities in
Flight//, but, alas, spindizzies were nowhere to be found.

I will be severely disappointed if neither of these commercials make it
to the Clio award finals.
