“LISTEN HEAR, SEE! I NEED A TIGHT CLOSEUP!  BOX YOUR HANDS LIKE A FRAME AND LET ME SEE THAT SHOT, SEE!”  If I were to direct every commercial I would do it in Jimmy Cagney period piece voice.  Possibly with the theme song to “The Sting” on repeat.  Those clackity, clack percussion sounds, like marbles pelting coconut shells in syncopated rhythms, swing beats, the muzzled and plunged trumpets, high pitching their way to high falootin’ boogie woogie dance moves, legs a’ plenty flinging outwards from side to side, knickerbockin’ their way up and down the sound stage, fedoras with a tilt, a shortened tie, and those crease, pressed suits catching the reflections of pocket watch chains parabola’ed into easy swing like arches.  “THAT’S A WRAP, SEE!”  Well, good thing I’m not Directing commercials….or is it?!  I think I need to switch to the mindset of my 1984 preteen self – “LOOK!  COBRA’S ESCAPING!  WHAT?!  THERE HE IS, ON THE FANG!  HE CAN’T ESCAPE SNAKE EYES!  LOOK!  SNAKE EYES RADIO’ED TO ACE!  ACE SHOT DOWN FANG!  SNAKE EYES SAVES THE DAY!  COBRA, YOU’RE FOILED AGAIN!  YO!  JOE!”  Cue song – “G.I.
