Movie ads are getting smarter these days
Even the right-wing reviewers who hate the premise admit it’s a well written film in the vein of heist thrillers.
It’s a really good movie. Not particularly useful if you actually want to destroy something - they were careful to get a consultant to make sure they didn’t break any laws or create liability for themselves or the studio. If you didn’t see it in theatre, you missed out! I’m really glad the feds are wringing their hooves over it, it deserved much better marketing. It is destined to become a cult classic.
Related, there’s actually a rundown on a bunch of the opsec problems with it: https://anarchist-archive.org/library/en/hakan-geijer-popsec-how-not-to-blow-up-a-pipeline
It’s a good story, and would be extremely bad to follow as a recipe. But it would be a good movie to watch with a very small group of like-minded friends.
The beauty of it is – the people you go with don’t have to be ‘like-minded.’ You can enjoy Oceans Eleven without endorsing theft, you can enjoy HTBUAP without endorsing sabotage. If your friends feel it crosses a line, that’s a very interesting post-film discussion: Why isn’t it disturbing for people to root against the ‘house’ in Oceans? Is it okay to break the law to get rich, but not to do it for justice?
It seems that government agencies recommend very good stories with their warnings and bans.
I’m sharing it on soulseek if anyone wants it. Use nicotine++, better client.
sounds like it’s the movie to see this year :~)
The movie is from 2022: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Blow_Up_a_Pipeline_(film)
yeah… I looked that up as soon as I commented haha
The audio book is on Spotify too.
Not the same though - the book is non-fiction. Still great though. And no reason not to enjoy them together.
FBI must not be familiar with the Streisand effect
I would like to thank the federal government for raising awareness that this movie exists. Wouldn’t have happened without them.
the book is also good
Wouldn’t blowing up a pipeline just be like, an ecological disaster? Or is this a pipeline that isn’t active yet?
Should have called it “How to ‘Not’ blow up a pipeline”.
Would probably have fooled the powers that be (stupid).
haven’t seen it, but trailer very good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21440780/
Anyway. explosives. detonator optional. Fire can work.
I don’t say carry sand in your pockets because pocket sand shashasha. Well not just because that. It’s because of the OSS Manual of Subtle Sabotage.
I enjoyed the movie. I like how it shows concrete ways in which people can be affected by the matter at hand. Not a “polar bears on thin ice” or similar, but actual effects on everyday people (not that polar bears don’t matter)
Hopefully.
Boy, it sure would be a real shame if people did that sort of thing. Like tragic even. Hell I might even shed a tear! (If I’m chopping onions when I hear about it)
Hey FBI…
Is that Barbie Streisands house?
Someone please make “How to dismantle the Federalist Society”
cool
