Anyone else annoyed by the movie crew?

To me, these guys are really getting in the way of us walking down the street. Much more so than when Smoke or As Good As it Gets were filmed. Which is odd because Smoke and As Good as it Gets were bigger movies with more famous actors. This movie just has a bunch of actors nobody ever heard of. I just can’t wait until this crew leaves

    Smoke wasn't a very big movie. I don't know the budget but the whole thing was essentially filmed inside the corner store so they didn't need the same street presence.

    I remember the crews from As Good as it Gets being quite annoying and having their trucks parked EVERYWHERE!

    I think this crew (so far) is a nice mix of little excitement without being a major pain.

    the two leading stars from my big fat greek wedding aren't big? that was a pretty huge movie.

    but, that said, they're everywhere. and i don't think they've been all that friendly. not mean, but not friendly considering the fact that they've taken over the nabe.

    i'm an inch from going to get some coffee at craft services

    I'm more bothered by the fact that we aren't getting a tapas joint. The movie is called "I Hate Valentines Day" and yes, by the writer/star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And the co-star, John Corbett, is the same. Not the biggest stars but I would think fairly well known. Fans of Sex & The City will especially appreciate John Corbett being around...

    Im also pissed we aren't getting a Tapas place. It was almost cruel to put that sign up there to taunt us :)

    Movie crews are nothiing more than a nuisance. They benefit few and inconvenience many.

    I'm pissed that their big trucks sit idling and wasting so much gas....other than that, I don't care. A little annoying to walk around, but not a big deal.

    I would also love if that was a tapas place!
