Posted Appealing TV: Three Rivers Fall Premiere to Culture/Entertainment

Babe Scanlon commented on Appealing TV: No Reservations In SF
I didn't watch the episode because I'm so tired of every out of towner focusing on the hippie crap. It's been done and it's no longer relevant. Glad he hit some normal places and it is funny (and smart) that he skipped the fish at Tadich Grill....

cedichou commented on Starring San Francisco: A Retrospective and a Look Ahead
The only movie I have seen shot in SF was Will Smith's The Pursuit of Happyness. Not that it's a good movie, but they were shooting in our neighborhood at duboce park (http://sfist.com/2005/10/10/in_pursuit_of_pursuit_of_happyness.php) where they had dug a hole for a bart entrance. In the movie, will smith is running away from a cab driver through dolores park to use that bart entrance. They had round the clock security to prevent people from not taking fake bart or something, for like a week. It was a one second shot. Monumental waste of money....
