Ali, I've only seen eight movies from that list.
(For the curious, those are: "Closer"; "Before Sunset"; "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"; "Ray"; "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" ; "The Village"; "The Incredibles"; and "Spider-Man 2.")
And, they were filming in Chicago?
Yeah. I accidentally stumbled across them filming one night in Lower Wacker Drive. I saw a Gotham City Police car parked there.
I heard they had done some filming on the Amstutz Expressway, too. Which is really all it's good for (beyond teenagers finding out how fast their new cars can go), since it doesn't actually go much of anywhere.
What's that list of 30 refer to, exactly? I've seen all but 3 -- Polar Express, Being Julia, and The Village.
Here's one to look forward to: Howl's Moving Castle, Miyazaki's latest. It's everything you like about Miyazaki, and what an imagination the man has!
Speaking of Howl's Moving Castle, you can download a preview here: [link]
It's in Japanese (duh) with no subtitles, but what I can see of the animation looks gorgeous.
I saw a fan-sub about a week ago. It was wonderful. The original Japanese voices were wonderful. Why are we so allergic to subtitles?
Reading is hard.
