    the movie How To Blow Up A Pipeline is a solid B+ as a movie, but the fact that a movie in which destroying major oil equipment is depicted as unambiguously heroic with no time wasted debating that is an absolute miracle.

    getting closer to end of the movie — for those not following along, i’m watching BLOW OUT — and this script is incredible. the whole thing moves inevitably and inexorably to its conclusion. there was always only one way the story could end, and it was with the perfect scream.

    One of the best parts about writing a video essay on film or writing a film is the RESEARCH, because that usually means watching lots and lots of MOVIES! Sometimes that means you find inspiration in surprising places -- so here are three films that were surprisingly influential for BLOW!

    Eh, like or hate the concept it was an independent film. The company behind it previously produced How To Blow Up a Pipeline.

    The sound could be better - but it's a Japanese rock band, Sheena & The Rokkets, covering the hell out of "Stroll On", the song that the Yardbirds played in the film "Blow-Up" (1966). But they call it "Lemon Tea". And both are versions of "Train Kept A Rollin ". #MusicSky youtu.be/2cby6dMmNJk?...
