I love this movie so much. It’s so fun! There’s violence, porn, fire, hetero apologists, actors from The Wire, unabashed passion, fake blood, guns, teamsters with guns, sound effects, studio slander, high body count. What more could you want! Demented forever! Die for your art! (currently free on hoopla and tubi!!!)

Truly one of the most anarchic films I've ever seen. Ridiculous, hilarious, gory, kinda vile, and yet actually pretty good stylistically. It's on the people's streaming service Tubi for your enjoyment rn.

It contains "acts that by their mere existence would make any decent person recoil in disgust! You want to see them and we've got them! Every possible thing you can think of! Come on, ladies. Come right up this way. Come see Lady Divine's Cavalcade. Come on!"

Holy shit, this was so good. Allow me to reference critic reviews:
Noel Murray and Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club put Blow Out at #1 of their list of De Palma's besThe quintessential De Palma film, this study of a movie craftsman investigating a political cover-up marries suspense, sick humor, sexuality, and leftist cynicism into an endlessly reflective study of art imitating life imitating art.
&
In 2023, Time selected Blow Out as part of their list 100 Best Movies of the Past 10 Decades, praising it as "a film filled with mistrust, one where the ghosts of Chappaquiddick and the Zapruder film lurk in the corners."

Believing the rest of your life can start today (but not succumbing to the weight of that, which I’ve yet to figure out how to do).

I love being a barista because it is so fun to not pay for coffee and taste horrifying extractions and bizarre customer creations (extra sweet caramel single shot breve iced) and take home what we can’t sell to customers. Behold the darkness of week old cold brew concentrate! A true depth of darkness only understood in certain light, black as midnight on a moonless night! Yum yum can’t wait have it with breakfast and feel each blood vessel moving through every artery!

I don’t know if this applies to everyone as we seem to be peak hustle culture to survive the gig economy but I have a lot of free time, so much free time it’s overwhelming, that I pander in all sorts of unhelpful ways. Just saw something about someone who makes exquisite jewelry in their free time, it not being their day job, and am having a long hard think about how tired I really am when I claim to be too tired to work on the thing I claim to want to do…I also think about kids my age getting married and who may start having kids in the next few years (aside from the ones who already have) and how much of a time drain that is and how some day I’ll probably look back on this point and think I was swimming in time. Would probably help to start on the phone addiction first…Sometimes I think it’s possible I’m not as tired as I am, like focusing on how tired I am, trying to measure exactly how heavy my bones feel, only amplifies my tiredness into perceived exhaustion and maybe if I didn’t think about it so much it wouldn’t be as real as I let it, like the cold in winter.
