New York in the movies
Filed under: Fandom, Tech Stuff
It's almost impossible to spend a day wandering around Manhattan and
not run into a building that you recognize from a movie - the city is
full of landmarks that Hollywood has long loved to spotlight. But
where, exactly, is that castle-looking thing from The Fisher King? Or the cool office building that was in Zoolander? Ooooh and what about the antiques store
from You've Got Mail? Where's that? Well, friend, wonder no more.A clever, computer-nerdy (and I say that with the utmost respect) movie-lover has made a Google maps mashup that combines specific movie locations with both general and specific maps. Obviously the list isn't an exhaustive one, but it's fun to use the front page to play movie location roulette - just click on random pointers and see what was filmed in your neighborhood.

I went to high school on the same block as that "castle-looking thing." Where the armory once was now stands Hunter College High School, which was designed in the 70s with the armory in mind. Which means it only has foot-wide windows. Students fondly call the building "the brick prison."
