Eons ago in a distant past, my friend Thon made me sit down in front of his television and we watched a series of short films with his fabulous surround sound system. He had downloaded all of these films from the BMW site<\/a> and we watched them off his laptop. I remember thinking they were excellent. Was that because of Clive Owen<\/a>? Perhaps.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

There are 8 films. Each film is a different story set in a BMW with a driver. The driver is always Clive Owen<\/a>, and each film is directed by a different director. Directors include John Frankenheimer<\/a>, Ang Lee<\/a>, Wong Kar-Wai<\/a>, Guy Ritchie<\/a>, Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu<\/a>, John Woo<\/a>, and Joe Carnahan<\/a>. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Madonna<\/a> even stars in the Guy Ritchie vignette<\/a>!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyway, I discovered about a year ago that you could register with the BMW site and get a free copy of the films. Dave has a BMW, so I thought, perfect! Unfortunately, when I went back to the site several months ago, I discovered that “The Hire Films series is no longer available for download or purchase.” <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

How disappointing. Not letting myself get down about it, I scoured Ebay<\/a> and Half<\/a> for copies. I was disappointed to discover that the DVD was going for about $30 – more than I thought it was worth. However, I did find one fabulous person selling the disc for $13! It just arrived today – I’m so excited!!! Damn, I hope it plays! \"\"<\/div>\n

Did I mention how sexy Clive Owen<\/a> is?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
