Matt Damon in "The Adjustment Bureau"
55th Street and 6th Avenue is proving to be an exceptionally popular spot to film movies this fall. I was walking home from the Museum of Modern Art late this afternoon and I just happened to wander onto the set of "The Adjustment Bureau," a film starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt that's been shooting in the city over the past few weeks. Matt Damon was sitting in the back seat of a taxi cab and the cameras were about to roll when I walked by the location. This answers your question in case you were wondering how they film these types of shots where the actors are sitting in the back seat of a taxicab. The cars are rigged up with special camera mounts and the cab is pulled along while the actors sit in the back. Of course, by the time it's edited and pieced together it will look as if Matt Damon just naturally hopped in the back of the cab and sped down 55th Street towards 7th Avenue.
You may recall that it was only three weeks ago that I ran into Miley Cyrus at the very exact same spot.

Have A Safe Trip
Even Jimmy Fallon is excited for a $2 tip. I thought his show was doing OK, but I guess everyone needs a second job right now.

Madison Square Scrutiny
Out the window. Madison Square Garden. 8pm. Rascal Flatts and Tom Cruise's "Valkyrie." To me, this picture makes it seem really busy and chaotic in the city. So much going on all the time.

Radio City Repair
Hopefully your cab doesn't break down en route to Radio City to catch a matinee of the Boston Pops. This is not exactly the best spot for your cab to break down on 6th Avenue across from Radio City Music Hall. If you like taxis you'll be happy to know that several cab drivers have blogs or websites. Here and here and even here.
