I mean, if you see it, remember that we don't want you in Oregon on threat of being abducted. Er, that's not quite right either. Oh! I've got it--look at the scenery and you can sort of see where I'm coming from, and you can also see a few of my classmates when they were younger.

> One of the neat things about New York City is there's always some sort of movie being filmed somewhere. I've been here for about 2-1/2 years now, and have seen several outdoor movie sets in various places around the city -- the wife and I saw an ambulance crashed into a fire hydrant for Bringing out the Dead, a wall of sufferage posters for The Cradle will Rock, and a whole pile of fish for Godzilla.

October Sky was filmed in East Tennessee at nearby Oliver Springs. That area looks more like West Virginia than West Virginia does. My son was telling me about a friend who has a 1950 Buick that was in the movie. They had him drive by in the background a few times. I saw the movie, but missed the Buick.

Once in Atlanta, I passed a building with sandbags and machine guns all around it. The word was that they were shooting a Chuck Norris flick.
I guess all movies have to be made somewhere.
