Anyone see that new Nike commercial with Spike Lee, where he narrates Michael Jordan’s career highlights? In one way, it’s just like all the other MJ-centric Nike ads Lee’s been doing for the last 20 years. But there’s a twist: the background music in the ad is Mark Mothersbaugh’s theme song from Wes Anderson’s “The Royal Tenenbaums,” which sounds just like all the other background music in every Anderson film.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a juxtaposition between the styles of two so unique and radically different filmmakers. That is, except for "The Passion of the Christ" being scored with Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine."
