I saw an episode of Supernatural that was supposedly in Saginaw (my mom's home town). Saginaw is lower peninsula urban, and I think they conceived of it as upper peninsula, Marquette suburbs. The area shown was decidedly not eastern MI. If you go out of Saginaw into the countryside you get beet farms, not temperate rain forests. And Saginaw is 46% African American. The extras on that episode, nsm.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Now I'm wondering if there were black extras in "Crossroad Blues."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There was a movie set in Nashville (might've been "Nashville"), filmed in Nashville, that made us all laugh at the fantasy geography. Why do filmmakers do that? What's the point of filming on location if everyone who recognizes the location knows it's the city as drawn by Escher? Might as well film everything in California. Anyone else remember the beautiful mountains of Florida in "Drive" (tv show)? Oh, or "Point Pleasant", set in New Jersey, where the sun was setting over the ocean! Yanks you right out of the story.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Years ago there was a movie set in Washington in which the hero runs down to the D.C. subway ... and ends up in a Baltimore station.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Was that No Way Out? That was the one where one scene was set in the non-existent Georgetown Metro station.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That would explain why there was no way out...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
"Rumble in the Bronx" a FANTASTIC Jackie Chan movie, had the climactic scene at the harbor--you know, the Bronx harbor with the snow-capped mountains behind it?
