WZ1 April 26th, 2005, 05:03 PM How about Canadian Bacon some of it took place in Buffalo. With you guys being so close to Toronto, most movies simply skip by Buffalo for the gta.. for those interested.. here is a site that shows all current movie shoots in Toronto..

NYC007 April 26th, 2005, 05:45 PM "Manna From Heaven" was shot in Buffalo a couple of years ago. It was a smaller budget film, but it had some pretty recognizable names in it: Shirley Jones, Shelly Duvall, Cloris Leachman, and Wendy Malick (from the TV show, Just Shoot Me, and I think I heard she is from Buffalo)

the Goo Goo Doll filmed their new DVD in Buffalo last July 4th. It looks like it might be very interesting. It was filmed in a huge rain storm.

Peanut April 30th, 2005, 11:54 PM I know this is a buffalo thread but i was going to make a Upstate NY movie thread.
Syracuse doesnt have a whole lot but there is one quasi-populer movie based and shot in syracuse,"Freak talks about Sex". Stars Steve Zahn and Josh Hamilton and is pretty fuuny. They show it on HBO all the time and it has Carousel mall, Downtown, and Even lookers in it, yes a strip club. It doesnt hype up syracuse but its cool to see them talk about Syracuse.
One thing that is very odd about this movie though, the actors talk about syracuse like they live here, such as mentioning Syracuse streets and suburbs like Valasko rd. and Solvey...
BuffCity May 1st, 2005, 07:06 PM Yea, actually I was gonna ask if there happened to be any shot in Syracuse or Rochester as well.
NoCtUrNaL May 1st, 2005, 09:38 PM Yea, actually I was gonna ask if there happened to be any shot in Syracuse.
I'll give ya a hint about another one shot (at least partially) in Syracuse...

sargeantcm May 2nd, 2005, 12:36 AM Great movie....
Third of a kind May 2nd, 2005, 08:24 PM good looking out steel & buff city, I enjoyed those pics...thanks
was bruce almighty filmed on the streets in buffalo? or a soundstage? I can only remember once scene where he was standing in front of a beautiful set of light blue(?) rows
bone_machine May 3rd, 2005, 01:22 AM I think originally it was going to be filmed in buffalo, but in the end it wasn't.
BuffCity May 3rd, 2005, 05:08 AM I guess scenes actually had been shot of Buffalo, but did Jim actually come here...no (from what I understand)
Bruce almighty made Buffalo look kinda dumb, they shoulda played it a little different, but oh well.
I hear they film alot of porn in Amherst.
elmwood May 3rd, 2005, 06:07 PM I hear they film alot of porn in Amherst.
Whah? I never heard that before, nor have I seen anything like that in any of the Amherst blogs. Are we talking about amateur stuff at the UB North Campus dorms?
BuffCity May 3rd, 2005, 06:35 PM LOL, you think just because they have fat wallets they have morals?
Amherst, the Porn Center of WNY.
WIGS May 4th, 2005, 04:52 AM well I'm proud to live here then. :P j/k
NYC007 May 5th, 2005, 04:13 PM Seriously, I don't know about porn in Amherst, but I'm pretty sure I remember a "prostitution ring" being broken up last year in Amherst. They were advertising in the Artvoice as "escorts." Then there's that strip club in Cheektowaga, just down Transit Road from Williamsville (Rick's Tally-Hoe or something). I guess if you live in downtown Buffalo, it's best to travel out to the 'burbs if you're lookin' for some illicit (immoral?) activity.

Funny you should mention Rick's Tally-hoe. The guy that owns Ricks is a super Buffalo booster. He recently came back to Buffalo from Las Vegas were he had several very successful businesses. He bought a mansion in North Buffalo for $1.3M (which gets you a lot of house in Buffalo). He is currently planning a swank new restaurant in the Buffalo Club Building. If you have ever been in that building you would know that their are some very beautiful spaces which would be great for a restaurant. The Buff News just did a story on him. Thankfully he puts all his "gentleman's" entertainment in the burbs.
BuffCity May 5th, 2005, 05:20 PM no shit, Ricks was running a house of Ill repute? lol
Thats nuts, if I woulda known they was hookers, damn...lol
Erie County has some horrible clubs for the devils games, but I can say Rochester has a few good ones, but all the best is still at the Falls and in Canada.
WIGS May 5th, 2005, 08:14 PM yeah everyone knows that Canada has the best "ballet" dancers ;) :P
BuffCity May 5th, 2005, 08:58 PM I remember when I was in Canada when I was 19, strip clubs...drinks, oh yea.
