Watching "Gacy". Takes place in Chicago. Palm trees in background! |
|
Are there palm trees in Chicago? They probably could have shifted the camera angle a bit to keep the palm out of the frame. Cheesy!

3. You'd think Hollywood wouldn't be so ignorant of geography |
|
Makes me think of a late 'Happy Days' episode, when Fonzie and somebody was flying from Milwaukee to Minneapolis and they showed the view out the window - of the ROCKY MOUNTAINS!!

there are no palms in chicago....at least not outside. even the most hardy species of palm trees would be fried by a single chicago winter.

7. that's probably one of the WORST homo-serial killer movies... |
|
although I think the Jeffrey Dahmer one could be one step below it.

10. "Dahmer" was bad. So was "Bundy". |
|
I hate to say it but the made-for-TV flick with Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy was pretty good.

14. The Bundy flick with Mark Harmon scared the hell out of me |
|
When I was a kid.
I had nightmares about that movie (and Mark Harmon) for years.
Didn't help that he had passed right by our town on his way to Florida.

15. It's just damn hard to make a movie about a serial killer... |
|
and have it be good, without it having like an R rating.
Plus, these people are so horrific in reality, you can never recreate their actions with the same kind of ferocity and horror with which they were originally carried out! :scared:

If yes, then yes, there are palm trees in the windy city. :)

12. We have a few Palm Trees in the lobby. |
|
But it's indoors.
And there are a some Sego (Sega?) Palms here and there, but I think they die over winter.

16. I once watched a TV movie supposedly set in Appalachia |
|
... those Appalchian cacti are something else! Not to mention that Kentucky mountain sagebrush and all those perfect tans.

21. Little House on the Prairie, where "Minnesota" looks remarkably |
|
like whatever part of California serves as the setting for all the Westerns and has rocks and sagebrush.
And one of the great movie bloopers: In The Heartbreak Kid, Charles Grodin and Cybil Shepherd, are on the University of Minnesota campus. They decided to sneak away to Cybil's family's "cabin in the mountains"--for the evening.
Now, the nearest mountains are hundreds of miles away. A real Minnesotan would have said "cabin at the lake."
That wedding scene in that movie was filmed in a quaint little Episcopal church about five miles from where I went to high school, and my high school speech teacher can be seen as an extra, playing a wedding guest.
