How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022)

"We tried to combine these raw, gritty oil drum recordings with these distorted and pulsing synth sounds... This is the first time I’ve traveled to a set to sample and record actual oil drums, pipes, and found sounds to create a score... We had a drumstick with a super bouncy ball attached to the [oil drum], and we dragged it across the metal pipes to create ominous, resonate drones."

Gavin Brivik on producing the film's opening track 'Why I Destroyed Your Property'

Pitch for a Supermassive Games storyline:

1) The Title

RADIOACTIVE

2) The Prologue

1945, Los Alamos, New Mexico. The Trinity test is a success, resulting in the creation of the first atom bomb. However, a few months later, Dr. Carl McGregor (the red herring protagonist) is called to Los Alamos to investigate a mysterious set of events plaguing the area. Reports of people going missing and residents going crazy have the Pentagon spooked.

One night, Dr. McGregor and his staff are attacked by mysterious shadowy figures. Despite Dr. McGregor’s attempts to flee, he is eventually cut down by what appears to be a “glowing” creature.

(Basically, the villain of this game is some kind of creature that was mutated by the nuclear testing. So, a riff/homage to Godzilla. However, instead of creating kaijus, the monster is much smaller and comparable to the wendigos in “Until Dawn” and the werewolves of “The Quarry”)

3) The Main Story

In the present day, we follow the Proudstar family who live on the G. A. Romero Reservation, which is a few miles away from Los Alamos. The area has become the center of ghost stories due to people still going missing. Of the ghost stories, the most infamous one is that people are being kidnapped by “the skinwalkers”, who in Navajo culture are witches that have the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal.

(Obviously, the skinwalkers are the radioactive creatures from the prologue. The introduction of the skinwalker legend is meant to be a misdirection)

The Proudstars, who run the local market, have to frequently deal with tourists who want to see “the skinwalkers”. The Proudstars usually dismiss these tourists, especially since a great deal of them tend to be obnoxious (and borderline racist/ignorant). The family, although they’re aware of the legends, aren’t too concerned since they haven’t encountered the supposed skinwalkers.

Around this time, two groups of outsiders arrive at the reservation. The first is a group of ghost hunters who are trying to capture footage of the skinwalkers. The second is a group of ruthless gangmembers that take the Proudstar family hostage.

The first 4 chapters focus on the Proudstars dealing with the gangmembers. Simultaneously, the ghost hunters encounter a “skin-walker”, which turns out to be one of the radioactive creatures from the prologue. The ghost hunters flee the radioactive monsters and make their way to the Proudstar market, putting them in the middle of the hostage situation. They also unintentionally bring the monsters to the market, thus leading into the 2nd half.

The remaining 6 chapters focuses on the Proudstars, the gangmembers, and the ghost hunters trying to work together as a team to survive the radioactive monsters (the fake skinwalkers). Similar to “House of Ashes”, either the groups can put their differences aside or tear each apart. Depending on your choices, either everyone makes it out alive…or everyone ends up meeting the same fate as the scientist from the start.

4) The Playable Protagonists

* Gustavo Proudstar (ABRASIVE, COMMANDING, RATIONAL): The patriarch of the Proudstar family. He is an army veteran and the most skeptical of his family. He is portrayed by Zahn McClarnon.

* Miriam Begay-Proudstar (CONFIDENT, RESOURCEFUL, PERSUASIVE): The matriarch of the Proudstar family. She runs the family’s market and is the most superstitious of her family. She is portrayed by Irene Bedard.

* Jason Proudstar (INSECURE, UNMOTIVATED, INTELLIGENT): Gustavo’s younger brother who he doesn’t have much respect for. He’s smart, but is lazy and fine with mooching off his brother and sister-in-law. He is portrayed by Michael Greyeyes.

* Dante Begay (CONSERVATIVE, METHODICAL, PROTECTIVE): Miriam’s younger brother who works as a tribal police officer. He generally gets along with the Proudstars, but frequently disagrees with his niece Eliza over her political beliefs. He is portrayed by Martin Sensmeier.

* Eliza Proudstar (DRIVEN, COMPLEX, IRREVERENT): The eldest daughter of Gustavo and Miriam. She is a progressive political activist who moved out to the city, but visits the family from time to time. She is portrayed by Q'orianka Kilcher.

* Wenona Proudstar (INNOCENT, AMBITIOUS, ADVENTUROUS): The youngest daughter of Gustavo and Miriam. She is a college student but secretly dreams of being a famous actress. She is portrayed by Amber Midthunder.

* Freddy Kim (FOOLHARDY, RELAXED, LOYAL): The only playable character from the ghost hunter group. He is his group’s camera man and the one who doesn’t take the ghost stories seriously. He is portrayed by Steven Yeun.

* Melissa Frost (RUTHLESS, DETERMINED, COURAGEOUS): The only playable character from the gangmembers. Although she is a ruthless thug, it’s slowly revealed that she has a heart of gold. She is the gangmember who suggests a truce with the Proudstars. She is portrayed by Victoria Pedretti.

5) Significant Non-Playable Characters (note: I’m not covering every single character in this hypothetical game)

* Samuel Fulci: The leader of the ghost hunters. He is obsessed with viewership and clout, to the point he ignores warnings about potential danger. He is portrayed by Bruce Campbell.

* Lars Waingrove: The leader of the gangmembers. He is a ruthless sociopath and the most dangerous person in the survivor group. Because of this, Lars can be considered the secondary antagonist of the game (sorta like Josh Washington or Travis Hackett, but less sympathetic). He is portrayed by Leigh Whannell.

* The CIA Agent / The Man in Black: An unnamed agent who is interrogating the player about the events of the story. Basically, this game’s version of the Psychiatrist/the Curator/Eliza Vorez. He is portrayed by Michael Biehn.

W A T C H I N G

"How do we forgive our fathers? Maybe in a dream. Do we forgive our fathers for leaving us too often, or forever, when we were little? Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage, or making us nervous because there never seemed to be any rage there at all? Do we forgive our fathers for marrying, or not marrying, our mothers? Or divorcing, or not divorcing, our mothers? And shall we forgive them for their excesses of warmth or coldness? Shall we forgive them for pushing, or leaning? For shutting doors or speaking through walls? For never speaking, or never being silent? Do we forgive our fathers in our age, or in theirs? Or in their deaths, saying it to them or not saying it. If we forgive our fathers, what is left?"

Exclusive: Irene Bedard has been cast as Yagoda in the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series!

She is an Indigenous Iñupiat, Yup'ik, & Cree actor best known as the legendary voice of the Disney Princess Pocahontas in her titular 1995 film and reprised in Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018), as part of a long career also ranging from the cult classic Smoke Signals (1998) to HBO’s Westworld.

The now 55-year-old Bedard plays Yagoda, a healing waterbending instructor in the Northern Water Tribe who shares a surprising connection with Sokka and Katara of the Southern Water Tribe from all the way across the world.

Yagoda showed up in one pretty quick scene in the original animated series, so it will be interesting to see if her live-action counterpart has an expanded role!

Filming of Season 1 has already wrapped, so she has already finished filming her scenes for Season 1.

Hey, to those of you upset by Big Sky completely ignoring the fact that in Montana, 26% of their missing persons cases are Indigenous, while the show has ZERO Indigenous representation, please, PLEASE, check out Alaska Daily!

Now, I hate that the are not solving the problem with the representation on Big Sky, even after the people behind it said they listened and that their "eyes were opened." So very much fuck them for that. But this show is all about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirits (MMIWG2S) epidemic that has been going on since the colonizers came to the US.

It also has diverse representation with Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, and (accurately casted) Asian representation.

And huge bonus points: Irene Bedard is on the cast. If you don't know that name, you absolutely know her most famous character:

That's right, Irene Bedard played Pocahontas. All problems with that movie aside, she has played one of the most famous Indigenous people ever on screen. I was thrilled to see her name in the credits! I had no idea she was going to be on this.

Please check out this show! Not only is it important, it's actually very good! Certainly miles better then most of the crap that is getting out nowadays. And I hate mystery/procedural type shows, but I very much enjoyed what they have going on here.

Oh! And for those of you who react to things visually, like the coloring of shows and whatnot, there is something about the setting and architecture and color of this show that just makes you feel like you're breathing fresh air. So, that was wonderful.

Please, PLEASE, check this show out!

It centers around one of the many terrible things that have been happening to Indigenous people, bringing a spotlight to one of the ways the US's quiet genocide is continuing against the Indigenous population.
