Exciting Center City Activity!
 |
Yes, Center City is abuzz today with tons of activity. At Broad and Walnut, you have Marley & Me filming at one corner and, uh, a McDonald's-sponsored "Chicken Dance Down South" at the other corner. Apparently, McDonald's thinks you're going to stop what you're doing and dance with corporate tools and, uhm, some Mummers, of course. Or maybe this is the part of Marley & Me where the dog mauls Ronald McDonald to death.

I just saw Owen Wilson!!!! Of course I yelled OOWWWEEENNNN!!! I got in a little trouble by the crew for yelling his name "this man is trying to do a job Miss!!" But, it was so exciting to see a movie being filmed right outside my office. I LOVE OWEN!!!!! THAT WAS THE BEST. I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!

I heard you yell that. Now nobody will film here ever again. This is why we can't have nice things!

If I had a movie to film that was set in Philadelphia, I would film it in New York, due to the oodles of incentives offered by Governor Patterson and Mayor Bloomberg. There would also be the benefits of the acting pool and the cost savings due to infrastructure. Not to mention all the locations in the 25 mile film production zone (it is a union thing) that would work.

I liked how they positioned themselves right across from the production for maximun exposure and rudeness.
