Tropical storm Gordon, which killed at least 531 people in Haiti and four people in Florida, whipped itself into a hurricane today before heading up the Atlantic coast and out to sea today. This afternoon, the hurricane's 75-mph winds swirled 325 miles off Cape Hatteras and forecasters expected no immediate threat to U.S. shores. (It could, however, shift back toward land anywhere up to New England, they said.) Meanwhile, says TIME Miami Bureau Chief Cathy Booth, Gordon's lesser incarnation swamped 35,000 acres of cropland in Florida's Dade County -- destroying about half the U.S. winter vegetable...

...Chase in film! Wait until the French get a hold of this! What we get is a surreal and paradoxical mix of "high-speed" vibes (mostly due to speedy cuts from shot to shot) and incredibly dull footage of two people in a car, cruising at 30 MPH tops, with a bunch of police cars meandering down the highway after them. Every few minutes there's a big explosion, or the corpses start to fly, or she throws up, or they fuck...and then It's right back to a Sunday drive down Highway...
