Geeky Post
May. 28th, 2011 07:03 pmI'm slowly making my way through the last six Supernatural episodes. Although I'm really in the mood for more True Blood. There's not enough female characters in SPN, dang it. That said?
The following lines from both the Fate and the Western Episodes amused me:

Have to love it when tv writers get geeky. Although as an aside, can this show get any more sexist?
Granted the trope is very sexist and yes, I like it, but ...even Westerns and Noir films in the 30s weren't this...obvious. Makes me wonder if it is deliberate, feels deliberate.
Speaking of geeky...on the way to get groceries - I basically walked through the Men in Black III movie set. Impossible not to - the grocery store is located six-ten blocks from my apartment, and in between the roads were taken up by the movie set. As the next door neighbors pointed out - it's so cheap for them to film here because the city wants them here so badly it gives them all these tax breaks - that it's become an everyday event. We're used to it. I'll often think - okay what is it this time? TV show? Video? Movie? And which one? In the Fall - Whedon was filming Avengers near the Brooklyn Bridge. (He's been in NYC most of the year doing that and no, haven't seen him thank god). Not that I'd recognize him anyhow - I never recognize these people in person. Something I'm eternally thankful for.) This round Men in Black is doing a vintage 1969 car chase down the streets of Court and Smith in my hood. So all the streets were littered with vintage automoblies - there was Sam and Dean's 1969 Impala convertible, an Impala wagon, several vintage cabs, a La Sabra, a couple of Buicks,
a Cadillaic. The Cutlass. Some people were taking photos. Passed the production team chatting about
setting up the scene and what they needed to convey in the character. The actors and crews trailers and catering were on side streets surrounding Carroll Park. Will Smith wanted to park his mansion size RV, but they wouldn't permit that - for the simple fact that it took up two city blocks and you couldn't drive or park anywhere on them. Residents complained. This RV by the way - contains a gym, a jacuzzi, and a movie screen - it's two-three blocks long. Sort of the size of trailer home, except much larger. Have home will travel. The things money will buy. He has to use a regular size on in NYC - because we aren't LA or the desert baby, there's no room here for that kind of thing.
