Today should be interesting. Last night, these "No parking" signs appeared all along my street. Now, I'm watching what must be a major movie production being set-up and lit at the park out my window. Directly out my window. I have a front row seat.
A little internet research divulged a possible tv show but more likely a Hollywood movie being filmed in Portland at the moment.
I know they're not from around here - they all have umbrellas!
I'll see if I can get pictures of the famous ones (rumored to be a couple A list actors and actresses.... I know you're dying to hear. Keri Russell, Brenden Fraser & Harrison Ford).
The crew is cracking me up, running around like ants at a picnic.
Or it could just be an ad for goose-away.

You can take us a long way watching this soup sandwich. Can't wait for updates.
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious. I must be a cynical jerk because when I lived in NYC, I *hated* the inconvenience of so many movies being filmed in my neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteMy partner runs a tv company so it's a world I have experienced a bit, unfortunately. Must be fun to watch from a safe distance though. :)
ReplyDeleteGoose-away???
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for them to film The Fireblossom Story, featuring some fabulously gorgeous actress, who looks nothing like me, as me.
I worked at a lumberyard in St. Helens (Holy smoke! I am turning into one of those jerks who has a story about EVERYTHING. I hate me and apologize. I also continue...) when the Disney Channel filmed Halloweentown and a couple other productions came through. I can tell you from experience...if you wish to make large bundles of easy money, simply set up a snack shop on your front walk at inflated prices that make the concession prices in theatres look reasonable instead of gouging. Or sell pot holders. Or building materials. Or anything else you can think of that people might remotely need. Batteries. Film. Ugly little yapper mutts...err, scratch that. You will not be able to keep stock of your products nor raise your prices high enough to convince them purchasing from you is a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason ticket prices keep increasing. Their purchasing agents are, in my experience, idiots.
Updates galore: They were filming a Chrystler minivan ad (and had more key grips and gigantic cameras than any production should!) But the rumored movie filming looks like it's actually a reality. I've been dared to kiss Harrison Ford (OK I was dared to kiss Han Solo, but you get the picture) for 10 bucks.... 20 bucks to kiss Calista Flockhart.
ReplyDeleteInsert evil laugh here....
If they were doing a commercial for goose-away there would be lots of honking.
ReplyDeleteApparently, I missed all the fun...but YOU didn't.
ReplyDeletePS - I'd kiss Calista Flockhart for 10. ;)
PL - thanks for visiting! I'm looking forward to checking out your blog. Any friend of Fireblossom's :-)
ReplyDeleteScarlet: Glad you liked them. You'll like them even better when we have time to share the stories behind them. And why am I NOT surprised you'd kiss Calista? Girl!!!
