AMAZING MOVIE. This was just unbelievable. Ten years ago when I was deep into my snobby, French New Wave phase in film school I watched Blow-Up and loved it. Further digging revealed that John Travolta was in an American remake of it. NEVER, I said. I WILL NEVER WATCH THAT FILTH. What an idiot I am. Or should I say, what an idiot I WAS because I just corrected this mistake and man oh man am I glad I did. This is hands down my favorite De Palma flick and if I wasn't a guy who has seen Grease at least 25 times in my life I would probably call this Travolta's best film to date. I mean at least until Old Dogs 2 comes out this is tops. Jokes. But seriously, this is criminally underrated. I should have read more or heard more of "Blow Out is great" over the past 10 years. That makes it sound like I'm trying to pass the buck, that its not MY fault I didn't watch this until now. And you know what maybe I am. This was so friggin' cool and tense and well made that I am ashamed it took me this long. Side note...it wouldn't be a De Palma film without a choice that I debate in my head whether it was right or wrong or if I get it or if I should be feeling kinda gross about something or not but I won't be specific for fear of spoilers. Watch this movieeeeee
