Bonus! Song o' the Last 24 Hours


Cake, "The Distance" from Fashion Nugget (The Last Angry Homme)

Commentary: Diane Kruger is already one of the most beautiful women in the world, but in a racing suit her allure reaches preposterous heights. The above photo is a promotional still for the 2003 film Michel Vaillant, in which Kruger played driver Julie Wood, based on the long-running & much beloved French comic book series. The film shot its racing scenes at the 2002 24 Heures du Mans.
"…The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can…
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

"He's going the distance,
He's going for speed,
She's alone (all alone),
All alone in her time of need,
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting a course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance…"
