I stumbled across the filming of the battle here when they were doing it (large trucks with the hydra logo on the side aren't very often). Fun fact! It's also the filming location of Parks and Rec city hall exteriors (you can see Pawnee City Hall reflected in the windscreen of the truck flipping at 1:00). It's a dumb thing to get excited about but it's the first time I've been able to connect the two together (seeing shooting happening and connecting to a show/movie) and it makes me stupid excited to see on screen.

That isnt dumb at all. We walked through numerous filming locations for Transformers 3 and I geeked the gently caress out every time.

The first thing I did when I went to New York and had free time was go see the Ghostbusters' firehouse. It's fine and good to like things.

I went to see Terminator Salvation mainly because it was filmed near where I grew up in New Mexico. For one scene I nearly jumped up in the theater and shouted "I know that bridge!"

Ghostbusters is great for how good it is with its consistent geography. Pretty much every outdoor location is actually in NYC exactly where it you would expect it to be. For example, Dana's apartment building is actually on Central Park West and is actually across the street from the restaurant that Louis freaks out and runs to, and also it is pretty much exactly the distance from Columbus Circle (where you get the full reveal of the Staypuft Marshmellow Man) that it appears in the movie. Probably not a big deal for most people, but a lot of movies "cheat" geography and move stuff around or make stuff up for logistical reasons so it is really neat to have been to all of these places for real and kind of piece together the movie.

NYC suffers from that too. The Marvel Netflix shows are notorious for using parts of the outer boroughs and saying it is Manhattan. In DD they mention something about Matt not having gone north of 116th St, but the courthouse they used is on 161st st in the Bronx (it is a courthouse that numerous TV shows use, mostly CBS for some reason.)

I mean, that's because of filming permits. They don't get free reign of the entire city.

Of course, but that doesn't mean it doesn't stick out. They could also just not pretend a landmark across the street from Yankee Stadium, home of one of the most world famous baseball teams with the nick name The Bronx Bombers, is in Manhattan. I mean, pretty much none of the Hell's Kitchen scenes appear to be shot in Hell's Kitchen, which is understandable, but that doesn't bother me nearly as much for some reason. Though it was hilarious to see a show where HK was still a crime ridden bad neighborhood like it was in the 80s, as opposed to the hyper gentrified place that it is today.

Funnily enough, Disney is usually the one blamed (or credited) for cleaning up Times Square and the surrounding area (which includes Hell's Kitchen) after they bought up some real estate in the area and turned it into a family friendly tourist zone, instead of being filled with porn shops, strip clubs, and hookers.

And then there are movies set in Paris where something will start at the Arc de Triomphe, go past the Louvre in the next shot, immediately end under the Eiffel Tower and... oh, those really ARE all in one place.

After about the 10th time I heard it, I now just assume when someone says that kind of thing, that they are either: A: Someone who never actually had to put up with being a victim of that kind of shittiness, and like to travel to "dangerous" places to "experience" them like some hosed up safari. B: A criminal. Coincidentally, these people never seem interested in moving to currently bad places that are also way cheaper than NYC. Weird and strange.

There's a scene in a David Tennant Doctor Who episode where The Doctor is chatting to Will in a London cafe. If you were to pan the camera around you'd see me standing in the middle of Swansea trying to work out the best person to ask how he does his hair. The amount of times Doctor Who tries to pass off South Wales as London is loving great, especially since I've moved to Cardiff. Are you sure you're filming in London guys? Because Clara just ran past my flat.

I'm guessing when the DC movie universe bubble finally imploded last year, whatever stupidity was embargoing their own properties from appearing in other projects finally went away with it, because the Jerome poo poo reeked of "we are not allowed to use Joker due to executive mandate." Funnily enough, the real Joker manages to look worse.

Vancouver locations bug me because every ones using the same locations and alleyways over and over again, the good news is Vancouver looks so boring and generic it's easy for post to comp out things and make it generic US city. Captain Marvel was interesting, LA suffers from location issues from hopping from place to to place too fast, and during the train chase, they started in the South Bay area and El Segundo on the Green Line but halfway through the fight, it's on the blue line going downtown by the Convention center and then underground @ Pico. Unless I'm mistaken the two lines aren't connected and the Green Line didn't come online until 1995 [when Marvel was set], in Which case it was so lightly used there was a lot of 1 car trains and occasionally a 2 car train being used. But that wouldn't make for good storytelling  I'll say this.. Canadian and Georgia Film Subsidies can take me out of a few shows when it comes to location shoots. They'll set everything in that area even though none of the terrain and geography will match. Doom Patrol did that during the Flashback to Edwards Air Force base area for the Negative Man test flight flashbacks. It was very obviously lush green Georgia and not the Mojave Valley/Palmdale region at all. But that's only because I lived around there for a while so that popped out at me. It probably wouldn't have bothered most people. I'm a fan of location shooting when practical... ah well.
