Come back, James! I'll show you around the 'hood!


Nevermind the ludicrously stupid “loom of fate,” and why anyone thought THAT was a good plot device for a movie.

Nevermind the fact that it is really hard to enjoy yourself and be entertained by an R rated movie that features graphic sex in the first minute and more bloody mangled fighting than I’ve seen in a long time when you are sitting in a crowded movie theater next to a 6 year old.  (SERIOUSLY, 6-year-old’s dad, what the fuck is wrong with you?)

Nevermind physics, and the blatant defiance thereof, and why filmmakers think we are so stupid that we will really believe that just by wrenching your arm in a certain way as you pull the trigger you can actually bend the trajectory of a bullet.

No, what I really want to know about Wanted is this:
How is it possible that the totally luscious James McAvoy shot a movie THREE BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE and I never knew about it?   (Literally! Three measly blocks! And other scenes on the very block where I work!) I can’t believe that I may have missed my one and only chance to skulk around a movie set hoping to catch a glimpse of my current absolute most favoritest actor with a hot Scottish accent.

    i am DYYYYYIIING to see this movie. i’m pretty sure the bullet deal won’t bother me, considering i argued to someone that the hitting-a-helicopter-with-a-car scene in “live free or die hard” was plausible, and just because HE had never done it before doesn’t mean it COULDN’T BE DONE.

    hahahaha – you poor thing. Think you’ll make it through the rest of the summer? Maybe you need to do some Google searches on what movies are filming here this year, so you’re sure not to miss any more in the future?!

    PS – We closed yesterday and move this weekend. Hello, soon to be neighbor!

    pst – what’s your email address? i will TOTALLY email you landmine rules, but i think the “no-reply blogger” thingy that came through with the comment you left is probably going to kick back to me :-)

  4. I heard the movie was super bad; however, I do enjoy that picture :)
