job description: blowin' shit up

Not once before Wednesday do I remember thinking to myself, 'I should start learning about explosives or film directing or special effects.' Watching this and the shooting of some other scenes for Transformers, though, made me wonder why I hadn't. It looked like it'd be a hell of a lot of fun (though not for the extras, who spent all day running in screaming panic from big-ass robots that weren't there).

You've never once wanted to make movies? I seriously considered going to film school for a while. Being a movie director is just one on my very long list of dream jobs.

I know, it seems obvious, who wouldn't want to? I think it was so remote from my experience that I just never seriously considered it.

That and, now that I think of it, th fact that I always knew I wanted to fly in the military, so my goals and education were either directed toward getting me there, or were peripheral interests.

I even had a roommate in college who was a film major, and enjoyed helping him out a few times. I hadn't thought of that in a long time.

There's just so much out really cool stuff out there that we won't ever get the chance to do.
