Why just tear down Reunion Arena when we could blow it up? That’s a question the Dallas Film Commission is asking city leaders to consider. Spokeswoman Janis Burkland says (and this will be my official "quote of the day"), "blowing things up can be attractive" and she thinks we should peddle Reunion, as well as Texas Stadium when the time comes, to "filmmakers who are in search of a supersized structure to destroy". Not only would it immortalize said structures, she argues, but it would be a financial win for the Metroplex to boot.

As pointed out in this morning’s NBC5 piece, a Chicago candy factory explosion was financed by the makers of Batman: The Dark Knight. Watch that video … yeah, Burkland is right on: blowing things up is cool.
