Still, I must admit that I was a complete tourist when I was in Seattle in 2003 - i think - and I went to that restaurant where Tom has that dinner date - something Dahlia is it? I liked Seattle, although it was much much hillier than I was expecting.fishwithoutbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071691302805126529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-85297942629503310732007-08-20T18:23:00.000-04:002007-08-20T18:23:00.000-04:00I hear ya sister!

When they filmed Sleepless in Seattle, they had a scene where Tom Hanks and his son were boating all over the city and then ended up on a beach...well, It is quite rare that you see someone with a little motorboat end up in Alki beach...it is the Ocean, ya know (or more perferably, Puget Sound). And it would take several hours, you would have to go through the Locks, which I don't think they let those small, almost row boats, do. Also, fireworks on Lake Union (where the houseboat is) on New Years? Never...that is on the 4th of July only. The fireworks on New Years are on the Space Needle. There is so much false stuff in that movie it drives me batty!Mr and Mrs Knutzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453140097809676394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-14881492140358876732007-08-20T10:39:00.000-04:002007-08-20T10:39:00.000-04:00Hey Agnes, funny comment re: the crime scene, I la...Hey Agnes, funny comment re: the crime scene, I laughed out loud and almost snorted coffee up my nose (painful). <BR/><BR/>I never saw Hugh or Sandy - as I call her when we got out for a martini - just a load of extras. You know the bit towards the end where he goes to the Legal Aid place where she works and she rebuffs him, but then runs after him and they snog by the dustbins??? That's my street. That Legal Aid office is actually an orthopaedic shoe store. When I saw it I was so excited to see if my building was going to be on telly - it isn't - that I completely ignored the big kissing scene. I was too busy thinking "hey, those are my neighbours dustbins" :-) Oh the glamour!!fishwithoutbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071691302805126529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-4288946834256200542007-08-20T10:09:00.000-04:002007-08-20T10:09:00.000-04:00I wish I'd been there to see Two Week's Notice bei...I wish I'd been there to see Two Week's Notice being filmed (I watched it for the first time two days ago).

I had annoying film crew types diverting me away from getting to my apartment and extras cluttering the street when I was trying to get to work - they were there at 7am for God's sake. I would growl at them regularly. Thankfully they weren't there long.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by :-)fishwithoutbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071691302805126529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-79190850360234055962007-08-19T16:24:00.000-04:002007-08-19T16:24:00.000-04:00Ha ha, it was the steam rising in the streets that...Ha ha, it was the steam rising in the streets that got me the most.

But it does drive me mental how they take over the streets, and we keep getting re-directed.

Especially with the steam rising from the streets. That used to strike me a lot too - in fact when I fly back and I take a cab home through the streets I still sometimes feel it's like a movie. That's the odd thing about New York, it's so iconic from films that even a first time visitor can feel like they've been here before.<BR/><BR/>Have a lovely weekend girls.
