The Voyage of The Mimi+Gossip Girl+Mad Men+Guns="The Town" Trailer
Saturday, July 17, 2010 at 06:41PM So we (Hollywood) want to make a movie about organized crime thats gritty+emotional+funny accents+big name actors, but without casting any people of color. What's that? We can get all those things in 1 movie by just setting it in Boston? Score! Here we have the trailer for "The Town" Ben Affleck's second trip to the director's chair but this time he's at risk of being out handsomed by Jon Hamm playing a studly FBI agent investigating a ring of bank robbers in Charlestown. It also features Blake "too much eye liner makes me look poor" Lively and Rebecca Hall, the prig from "Vicky Christina Barcelona." As someone who's lived in the Boston area for 5 years I was unaware this much shooting took place here. Time for a hearing check at the doctors. For real, this looks pretty not awful, which means it might win Best Picture at the Academy Awards, as long as Clint Eastwood doesn't direct Sandra Bullock in something with gloomy lighting, then they're fucked. So here you go, "The Town"!

I was sitting next to Pearce McGrath when this preview came on. Never have I heard anyone laugh as loud as he did when they showed that dude wearing the "Irish Pub" T-shirt.
Target got most of the wardrobe budget.
I read that when they were filming one of the bank robbery scenes in Boston, a bunch of guys snuck in and actually robbed the bank. I hope they make a movie about that too.
