TV/Movie Tour and Spidey





We went on a TV and Movie sites tour, and saw lots of cools things. We took a bus around, and got out at certain locations. This is the Empire Diner from Men in Black, said by Tommy Lee Jones to have the best pie in the city.


And here we are sitting on the steps of the Cosby house. Note that the outside doesn't match very well to the inside of the house that they built in the studio.


Here we are in front of the building that most of the Friends lived in. Central Perk doesn't really look much like it did on TV, and where is Monica's nice balcony? We got to hear a bunch of discrepencies between the studio shots and the establishing shots of the real buildings chosen.


We then got a snack at the world's only (according to our guide) gourmet rice pudding place . I had the Key Lime, and it was very good.


After the tour, we headed over to see if we could see some of the shooting of Spiderman 3. We walked up to this crowd of people, who turned out to be extras, and also a view of Spiderman himself amongst rubble that had to be from a recent fight.


The had huge cranes all around, and cameras suspended from wires up in the air.


This was the best shot I could get of the actors. We were told that it wasn't Tobey Maguire or Kirsten Dunst, but I'm pretty sure the blonde is Bryce Dallas Howard, set to play Gwen Stacy.


I guess they wanted paper flying everywhere, because they had 2 cranes (one for the giant fan, one for the guy and his stacks of paper).


I had to get a shot of the Spydercam van as well.
