This is an amazingly well put together video of filming locations of primarily Superman: The Movie and a few others - watch it and you'll see what I mean.

I have already visited the Daily Planet and Grand Central Station 3 times but I never knew the NYC street address for the alleyway in which Lois and Clark get mugged and Lois Lane's apartment. I ( Read more... )

kalalanekent asked for more photos of the Daily News building in NYC, aka The Daily Planet in Superman Reeveverse so here goes starting with a video in the direction Clark and Lois walk in the lobby because yes I'm *that* geeky ;)

Enjoy :)



( Swell?!...there are very few people left in the world who feel comfortable using that word. )

Well there's no photo a day for the weekend because its taken me ALL weekend to get my holiday photos uploaded. Ironic huh? I've dated them 'out of order' on LJ so you'll find them posted on actual days they represent. Of course much is for my own historical record but am hoping there's some stuff of interest to my f-list - should be for Hot Fuzz ( Read more... )

Today was the last day in NYC but are flight was in the evening so we made the most of the morning doing last minute trips to buy stuff. I went to Jim Hanley's Universe to buy two comic book related t shirts - Action Comics, and Scott Pilgrim. Phil treated himself to a new ipod from the Apple Mac store, we both stared at the beautiful male models ( Read more... )

Superman fans how could I go to NYC and not visit The Daily Planet building? Better known to New Yorkers as The Daily News building. That's exactly how I started day 5. Followed by a trip to the Guggenheim via Central Park. At the Guggenheim was a bit of drama that caused a small fall out between me and Phil. Unknown to me he'd been feeling ( Read more... )

For this day I give huge thanks to swankyfunk for acting as a guide for me and Phil and taking us to some rather awesome places to spend our money and eat-a-plenty. This was so much fun :D Hot Fuzz fans reading - might want to skip to NYPD museum pics for amusement - I guess potentially this might count as Pegg Pavement? It's not a filming location but I ( Read more... )

So today was all about meeting swankyfunk but not until the evening so the rest of the day was spent getting the most out of our touristy tickets. Phil decided to buy a ticket for the helicopter tour. I decided against it - for one it was expensive $100+ , secondly I've seen Superman The Movie too many times to want to get in a helicopter to see the NYC ( Read more... )

Got up, bought all the touristy tickets for bus tours, museum passes etc.

Have been to NYC several times but never the museums so made a point of doing so this time around. First stop - MoMA. Followed by St Thomas' Church. Weather took a turn for the worse at lunchtime so got on a tour bus for the uptown loop and just stayed on it in the dry! ( Read more... )

Flew from Heathrow to JKF. Me and Phil thought our seats were behind eachother but turned out our seats were together - hurrah! nice surprise :) On the plane watched an episode of Doctor Who and the movies Pride & Glory (violent! fell asleep through most of it) and How To Lose Friends & Alienate People - there were two extra scenes that were not ( Read more... )
