Found Footage: Lisa ad staring Kevin Costner

Re #8: I was just thinking that. ;-)

And the narrator voiceover sounds like the same one from the "1984" ad, no?

The bike... the hills... the dog... it looks an awful lot like a male version of Flashdance.

I’m with posters 2 and 3...put an MBP on the desk and this ad still works. Kudos to the agency that came up with a spot that so accurately fit the client’s culture it‘s timely decades later.

He's not a lefty, which could explain the awkward grasp of the mouse. It was probably just done like that because of the office layout & camera angles.

For proof, check out Tin Cup, Bull Burham, For The Love of the Game, or Field of Dreams.

Was he well known in '83? I'm guessing no. His imdb filmography starts in 1982.

Notice how he holds the mouse in a very unusual way. I guess very few people knew what was the proper way of using the mouse then.

Ad message is still fresh, and if someone has removed Lisa and placed new iMac in the shot it could still work today.

Hmm, which is it?

Staring |ste(É™)r-ring|

Starring |stär-ring|
verb ( starring, stared ) [ trans. ] 1 (of a movie, play, or other show) have (someone) as a principal performer.

It's actually a pretty good commercial, and so modern looking (except for the haircut) that it was jarring to see that prehistoric thing squatting on the desk.

I am amazed that Apple's message has stayed "on point" since 1983. Another in a long list of reasons why Apple has lasted as long as it has.

U call that lucky, i call that sad.

I will no longer use any computers as soon as I earn enough. Find me in South America Jungles or African desserts.

Computers are tools, and love is for life only.
