Yet Another Grim Resurrection

Yet another exhumation, this one courtesy of Ford Motors:

The ad is an homage to the tear-jerking 1989 movie "Field of Dreams," in which Kevin Costner portrays a dreamer who conjures the spirits of Shoeless Joe Jackson and other baseball players when he builds a playing field on his farm.

In Ford's commercial, a farmer builds a winding racetrack, which he circles in the 2005 Mustang, due in showrooms next month. And out of the cornfield comes Steve McQueen, the late screen star famous for driving a Mustang in the 1968 action flick "Bullitt."

All they need now is to have him pull into the pit, throw out his mats, and have Fred Astaire vacuum them off with his Dirt Devil. Sigh. I think I feel a poll coming on...
