It reminds me of that scene in Deep Rising when Treat Williams, Famke Janssen, and Kevin J. O'Connor are in the elevator with "The Girl from Ipanema" playing on muzak.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well, the Geiko cavman-at-the-airport commercial does have some airy techno music for its Muzak.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Funnily enough I think that is the Muzak arrangement of the Royskopp song.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Have spent the entire day watching bad horror flicks on tv. I'm actually quite entertained. Final Destination 2, on right now, is practically a live action Road Runner cartoon - ETA, make that a cross between Road Runner and Itchy and Scratchy - , while Bride of Chucky was surreally bizarre.
L&O's Kathryn Erbe being in...crap, what was it...something about Echoes...with Kevin Bacon pretty much puts paid to that game for all time, given the way the show cycles through every actor working.
Stir of Echoes. Thanks, P-C! That one wasn't actually all that bad.

I love Bride of Chucky for its bizarre surreality.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
We just got Hot Fuzz on DVD. YAY!

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, Robin, it does remind me of "The Graduate"(which I have seen at least ten times) but I thought maybe there was something a bit more...spot-on. Maybe there is not one, specific, alienated-guy-at-airport moment they are calling back to. Maybe it's a bunch. (and, yes, I think I'm ridiculous, thinking about a caveman commercial that much.)

I don't recognize it, but it always stuck me as though there should be something going on that I wasn't picking up on. Because seriously, otherwise it makes even less sense.

move out and draw fire
Maybe they just hotwired into the memestem. Or condensed gestalt.
Or that ad will become such an iconic and pervasive image that you are feeling the recognition waves from the future.
