	Messages 1 2  Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by canaveralgumby on 1 July 2006 11:31pm   I've been asked by someone who contributes to Wikipedia if I could verify whether or not Michael Palin was an extra in the 1966 movie "Blowout." Allegedly he appeared somewhere in a scene where the lead character enters a Yardbirds' concert. You can view it (even if you don't have sound it's okay) at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4adPxNb_gI Since she gave me the suggestion that MP might be in there, I thought I spotted him. However, I wouldn't have spotted him just watching the scene without the suggestion. Can any of you find him? Webbie, if possible could you please find out? THANKS! -- Cori   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by suzulu on 2 July 2006 12:49am   I spotted two people who could have been him! It was very hard to see.   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by sighthound on 2 July 2006 1:46am   The name of the film is "Blow Up", the most accessible of the films by Antonioni and definitely worth seeing.   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by perfectbitch on 2 July 2006 9:59am   Great film - one of Nick's favourites. Linz   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by Helen on 2 July 2006 3:19pm   I thought I spotted him, too...I dunno...Maybe? I am NO help at all. but geez, Jeff Beck destroying his gee-tar was pretty cool. And you can see why Jimmy Page went on to be a larger than life full out Rock Star. He had the looks AND the chops. Awesome clip, Cori. :)   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by peripatetically on 2 July 2006 6:50pm   Oh, I haven't ehard anyone talk about that film in decades. I almost forgot it existed. Is this the movie about a murder in a park where someone sees an image under a tree on a photograph and blows it up to discover it to be a dead body? David someone was in it, I think? I doubt I'd even be able to find a coopy of that to check for Michael...   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by sighthound on 2 July 2006 9:44pm   Yep. Davis Hemmings and Vanessa Regrave. A great double bill is "Blow Up" paired with Coppola's "The Conversation" which is the same plot but the clues are from sounds instead pictures.   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by canaveralgumby on 2 July 2006 10:41pm   "BlowOUT." I'm such a spaz. :^) Okay. I thought I saw a man who COULD be MP in the 3rd camera shot of the above clip. DH enters the room in which the band is playing, and then the camera slowly pans toward the stage. The audience is facing away from the camera at a 3/4 angle. IF it's MP I think he's standing in the audience, more toward the back. Wearing a graphite grey shirt. Guy in front of him in a white shirt, guy in back of him in a red t-shirt. The person has a similar head shape (that sounds funny) and jaw and chin as MP. And the obligatory sideburns of the time, which MP had! (Happens to be wearing glasses.) Webbie, any word??   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by canaveralgumby on 2 July 2006 10:45pm   P.S. if you EVER have an opportunity to see Jeff Beck, DO IT!   Re: Palin-related! question about the movie "Blowout" by voxpops on 3 July 2006 1:40am   Was Mike the dancing black guy?   Messages 1 2
