Movie shoots fuck up traffic unless they're night-for-day shoots at 4am. I actually had my car towed by The Good Wife once when I hadn't noticed the "we will be shooting in your neighborhood tomorrow please move your car" signs. They just towed me to another block where they left me parked illegally.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
When they shot Doctor Who - The Talons of Weng Chiang, they had to find a London street that still looked Victorian-era for a night shoot. They found one, and then had to ensure no one parked their car there. They let all the residents know and put up signs warning people not to park.
When they turned up for the shot, they discovered that there was a residents' car slap bang in the middle of the shot - and its owners had gone on vacation for the weekend. Doctor Who didn't have a massive budget, so the shoot had to go ahead. Cue frantic discussion by the set people, trying to work out how to get a five-door hatchback to blend into Victorian London.
Thus it was that when the episode aired, the entire car was buried beneath a massive pile of manure.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
‘Captain America’ Opens Massively with $10.2 Million at Latenight U.S. Shows.
The figure came in well above comparable Thursday night figures for similar tentpoles, such as $9 million for “Man of Steel,” $8.8 million for “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” $7.1 million for ‘Thor: The Dark World” and $4.9 million for “Divergent.”

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
SOME DAY SOON.
