Old movie where they arrange to meet on top of a tower?

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

A asked:

What is this old movie, from the 50’s or 60’s, where a man and a woman arrange to meet one another atop a tower (I think the Sears Tower?) but the woman gets in an accident and hurts her legs, so she can’t meet him? It’s driving me crazy, I can’t remember the name of it!

A question about Fight Club?

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

Elect the Dead asked:

Anybody know the actual meaning of Tyler Durdens little speech, just before he leaves the Narrator?

“In the world I see – you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You’ll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You’ll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you’ll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.”

Is The Dark Knight the best thing that ever happened to Chicago?

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

Jack Bauer asked:

Is it me or do you never hear about Chicago like you do Los Angeles or New York? It’s been a while now since the Sears Tower was the world’s tallest building.

where was the movie Wanted shot?

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

deadly_donkey asked:

I watched Wanted today and noticed that there were alot of things that indicated the movie was shot in Chicago…. on the other hand there were a couple of thing that made me doubt my self.

For example i noticed the cta train, illinois liscence plates, the sears tower, a Cubs flag, but I also noticed buildings that I had definitely not seen in Chicago.

Was it shot in two cities?
