    THE SPOTS

    In "Traffic Control" (:30), three traffic controllers use their surveillance cameras to admire all angles of the 911 Carrera Porsche by stopping the driver at three consecutive traffic lights. The spot ends with the tag line, "The 911 Carrera, drive one or admire one." "Awake" opens with a man reading a newspaper which blares the headline, "Man Awake After Decades In Coma." It is then revealed that the reader is that man. Frustrated with reading the same old news, he decides to go out driving. He removes the car cover from his mint vintage vehicle—a 1955 Spyder—and hits the open road. During the journey, the driver of a new-model Boxster is drawn out of his way to follow his "roots." As he catches up to the older gentleman, one of the men exclaims "Holy," and the other "Shmoly!" The :30 ends with "Boxster, what a Porsche has always been."

    "Awake" broke Sept. 30, and "Traffic Control" began airing Oct. 7.

    “Beatles ’64” Documentary Captures Intimate Moments From Landmark U.S. Visit

    Thursday, November 28, 2024

    Likely most people have seen iconic footage of the Beatles performing on "The Ed Sullivan Show." But how many have seen Paul McCartney during that same U.S. trip feeding seagulls off his hotel balcony?

    That moment — as well as George Harrison and John Lennon goofing around by exchanging their jackets — are part of the Disney+ documentary "Beatles '64," an intimate look at the English band's first trip to America that uses rare and newly restored footage. It streams Friday.

    "It's so fun to be the fly on the wall in those really intimate moments," says Margaret Bodde, who produced alongside Martin Scorsese. "It's just this incredible gift of time and technology to be able to see it now with the decades of time stripped away so that you really feel like you're there."

    "Beatles '64" leans into footage of the 14-day trip filmed by documentarians Albert and David Maysles, who left behind 11 hours of the Fab Four goofing around in New York's Plaza hotel or traveling. It was restored by Park Road Post in New Zealand.

    "It's beautiful, although it's black and white and it's not widescreen," says director David Tedeschi. "It's like it was shot yesterday and it captures the youth of the four Beatles and the fans."

    The footage is augmented by interviews with the two surviving members of the band and people whose lives were impacted, including some of the women who as teens stood outside their hotel hoping to catch a glimpse of the Beatles.

    "It was like a crazy love," fan Vickie Brenna-Costa recalls in the documentary. "I can't really understand it now. But then, it was natural."

    The film shows the four heartthrobs flirting and dancing at the Peppermint Lounge disco, Harrison noodling with a Woody Guthrie riff on his guitar... Read More
