TV/Movies Megathread

[The Brain]

The Crow (new version). Pennywise is cast as Lisbeth Salander of The Girl With/Who... fame, but finds himself in a new The Crow. I haven't read the source material, so can't compare them that way, but from a movie perspective it is inferior to the old version in every way.

The new Crow movie was supposed to have been, and looked, absolutely dreadful.

Par for the course for '90s remakes, if not remakes, unless there was a Carpenter or De Palma around.

One of the fun things in movies and TV shows is when they dress up city A to masquerade as city B. E.g. Vienna was masking as Bratislava in a Bond movie, and as Moscow in Firefox (always funny when you recognize the locations they used in the move).

Meanwhile, in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, the episode where 9 year old Indy has a crush on the daughter of Franz Ferdinand and meets Freud, Jung and Adler was filmed in Prague.

In The Dark Knight Rises it really took me out of the movie that they filmed the football match at Heinz Field with Pittsburgh Steelers players.

Looking up something on IMDB I came across The Hotel New Hampshire (which I hadn't seen in ages) but which takes place partly in "Vienna". The one screen capture they had was this which is clearly not in Vienna (we have no cupola like the one in the background):



Thanks to Google image search, this one was easy to identify - it's old town Montreal

This popped up in my YouTube feed.

I have to admit, as a concept this is great

(Though I'm always wary of "big corporation makes movie about big corporations being horrible", see also Amazon's Fallout )
