  Almost Blue by J.D. Lafrance
The brilliance of this film is apparent right from the opening montage that begins with the image of blood red roses in front of a stark white picket fence and continues with a fireman waving from his truck, to a crossing guard motioning children across a street.
Everything is heightened in colour and slowed down to an almost surreal level which invokes the feeling of being trapped, as one critic observed, in a "nightmarish image of small-town life in America." Lynch reinforces these romantic images of 1950's Americana with Bobby Vinton's classic version of "Blue Velvet" playing on the soundtrack.
The song continues the blue velvet motif that appears throughout the film from the curtain or robe of velvet in the opening credits to the piece of material that Frank carries with him.

 Blue People of Kentucky
Dark blue lips and fingernails are the only traces of Martin Fugate's legacy left in the boy; that, and the recessive gene that has shaded many of the Fugates and their kin blue for the past 162 years.
Her name was Ruth Pendergrass, and she had been trying to stir up medical interest in the blue people ever since a dark blue woman walked into the county health department one bitterly cold afternoon and asked for a blood test.
The strain of inherited blue began to disappear as the recessive gene spread to families where it was unlikely to be paired with a similar gene.

 TechEd 99 - Almost blue
Attendees were handed plastic Blues Brothers hats and sunglasses (overprinted with Visual Studio logos of course) on their way in, and by the time we got there the 'joint' was really 'jumping' (as they say).
Sure, it's hard to get that late-night, smokey club feel at 7.30pm in a brightly-lit room the size of a small international airport terminal, but the band were consumate professionals and managed to inspire even the most stoically non-physical to dance, or at the very least tap their feet grumpily.
The songs were all from the Blues Brothers movie and all were played note perfect, leading those of us sad enough to notice thinking that someone must have spent many hours transcribing solos from the video.
