It appears that they are, recently have been or soon will be filming something for The Sopranos in my 'hood. If the signs are to be believed. Normally filming on the street doesn't thrill me beyond reason or anything because I have lived in New York for nine years now (can you fucking believe it - longest I've ever lived ANYWHERE?!?!?!). But I like The Sopranos and there are trucks and lights and a limo hooked to a tow and trailers and all of that about half a block from my pad.
If it weren't so hot, wet and miserable outside right now I'd be tempted to wander around and see what I could see. But it is hot, wet and miserable and should be storming soon. So the discomfort is high and the chance of seeing anything low. But it should be fun to watch this season and see what they shot here.
You know, filming on the street actually never thrilled me now that I think about it. Because the first NYC film crew I ever encountered filmed right outside the first apartment I had here in NYC. Not long after I moved in because Charlotte's bed hadn't arrived yet and we were both sharing mine. Which isn't nearly as sexy as it sounds. But nothing that happened in that apartment was as sexy as it sounded. Very sexy sounding stories out of that place. Anyway, we were sleeping at night and were suddenly blinded by lights from the street. From the damn film crew. At a ridiculous hour. Pissed me off more than anything else. And I never figured out what it was for.
I DO get a kick out of seeing my neighborhoods (I've lived in five while in New York) in movies though. Like when I saw my building in American Psycho. Right after he tries to feed the kitty to the ATM. Awesome. Christian Bale's hot bod was at one point just outside my window. Bliss.
