Buffistas

This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell

Closed Film and TV threads

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Punishingly Intricate

They are filming some of the "Batman" sequel here in Chicago. (Because Chicago naturally looks just like Gotham.)

hey! They were supposed to be filming that in B'more. My friends and I had big Bale stalking plans. (Maybe they are still going to film some of it here...we definitely have some Gotham-looking bits.)

It does in the current movie Batverse -- they filmed the first one there too.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I was going to say, that movie always makes me wonder what it would be like if Gotham *was* Chicago.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That's silly, because Gotham = NYC, Metropolis = Chicago.

Gotham = NYC, Metropolis = Chicago.

This is weird to me, I would have pegged them opposite. (I'm not a comics reader, though, so my viewpoint may be skewed...)

I haven't stumbled across the Batman shoot yet (oh, unless those dudes were setting up cameras for that and blocking the sidewalk and annoying me while I was trying to get to Water Tower Place), but I know quite a few people who have.

I shouldn't stalk Christian Bale, right? Right.

Righ-- no wait, why not?

The Gotham in the current movies is geographically where NYC is (and seems to have the same basic arrangement of islands), but is really really obviously shot in Chicago. For me, anyway, the architecture and look of the streets gives it a much stronger Chicago vibe than NYC.

What Jessica said. Cognitive dissonance. But at least it's pretty cogdiss.

If you decide to join those who do, be aware there are several thousand people ahead of you in line. And some of the Baleheads make the Kittens look sane by comparison.

Well, I value my life, and stalking's way too much work, anyway.
