Undercity
Incredibly tense and beautifully shot exploration of the hidden byways of New York City. Things you don’t want to hear when in a subway tunnel with the screech of a train fast approaching:
Explorer guy: There it is…fuck.
Camera guy: Fuck?!
Scarier than a scary film.

‘hut-two-three…ugh!’
George Plimpton tries 5 plays as QB for the Detroit Lions in 1964:
“Set!” I called out, my voice loud and astonishing to hear, as if it belonged to someone shouting into the ear holes of my helmet, “16, 66, 55, _hut _one, hut two, hut three,” and at “three” the ball slapped back into my palm. The lines cracked together with a yawp and smack of pads and gear, and I had the sense of quick, heavy movement as I turned for the backfield. Not having taken more than a step, I was hit hard from the side, and as I gasped, the ball was jarred loose.
