[edit] Coppola

Coppola cited Blowup as thematic inspiration on his R1 DVD commentary for The Conversation. Can anyone cite a similar citation by De Palma - I'm sure it must be out there somewhere, as De Palma has never been shy about acknowledging the influence of other directors on his work.

[edit] Title

why do you spell the title blowup? the real title is blow-up with an - Kernitou 17:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the page should probably read "Blow-up (sometimes rendered as Blowup)..." and use the hyphenated title in all other places. It looks particularly silly with the poster right there. --Asterphage 23:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I've just watched the trailer on youtube. It sounds like the contemporary version and it has the hyphen. It looks like User:Reginmund was right with his/her redirect, now reverted. --Old Moonraker 12:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know anything about the trailer, but in the (old) version of the movie I have seen it is credited BLOWUP, with capitalization and without a dash. As to the poster, come on, in France posters are in French, in China they are in Chinese, so what? This article is not about posters and trailers, it is about the original film.Colchicum 12:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I can confirm that. The title in the movie itself (I have the DVD) is rendered "BLOWUP," even though the box says "Blow-up." Canada Jack 18:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Correct. The title on the movie itself is BLOWUP, no hyphen. The title on the movie itself is the ultimate authority, not the movie's poster, trailer, or DVD cover. — Walloon 19:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] art film?

In 1966/7 the film was (IIRC) given major (ie not art-house) release. I think I saw it in a mainstream cinema and it received widespread coverage in the usual cinema reviews. Linuxlad 16:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hemmings.Autobiography.jpg

Image:Hemmings.Autobiography.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

[edit] Requested move

[edit] entertainment factor

This movie is about the most boring I have ever seen. Nice photographs but it could be half the length. This article promises much more... --84.161.219.68 21:56, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Velvet Underground correction

The article includes the following claim: "[Antonioni] also considered The Velvet Underground, but guitarist Sterling Morrison's drug convictions prevented the band from getting work permits in the United Kingdom." It cites the book Uptight: The Story of The Velvet Underground. Perhaps my edition of the book is very old, but the title of my copy says: Uptight: The Velvet Underground Story. On page 67 Morrison explains that Antonioni thought it would be too expensive to bring the band to London. There is no mention of a drug conviction being the reason that The Velvet Underground could not get U.K. work permits. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:43, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Update: One edition of the book is called Uptight: The Story of The Velvet Underground (WorldCat link), perhaps that is why it was cited as such. If some later edition actually mentions that Morrison's drug conviction prevented the band from appearing in Blowup, then please cite the page number. I can't find this claim anywhere in my copy (1983 edition). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 14:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
