It's an amazing scene. I find "Streets" to be only so-so, but has a fantastic 70s-melange soundtrack and wonderful location shots --including lots of driving on and under the (thank-God-it's-gone) Embarcadero Freeway.

And didn't know that about THX 1138. Does that mean, in the end, when he gets to the end of the tunnel and surfaces, Robert Duvall has escaped the clutches of tyranny only to find himself in... (duh-duh-dah) West Oakland? Sorry about the US only restriction — though I imagine a copy of “The Organization” can be found in other, ahem, less official places online.

Lets say I wanted to watch the film, now I can't because I'm not the US. I wouldn't bother if it didn't felt worth it. Thanks for the blog. Unthanks to Hulu.
