Two movies are coming out soon and I must protest. Both I Am Legend and Cloverfield show my beloved New York City either dead and abandoned or in the process of being torn into bits by a giant movie monster for a new generation of moviegoers.
While I admit to wanting to see an update on Godzilla, I just don’t enjoy seeing my home destroyed for kicks. So I ask you striking WGA members to please shift your explosive word processors to some other city. What the hell is wrong with pretending to blow up Washington, D.C? Leave NYC alone for a while.
Especially annoying is the shot in the trailer for Cloverfield of a massive fireball behind the Woolworth Building. Haven’t there been enough explosions downtown? And did they have to tear apart the Brooklyn Bridge? Same goes for you, I Am Legend. Leave the bridges alone. Leave New York alone.
