Still watching.  Ends up Columbus, Ohio is acctually the new the National Capital for the New reunified United States. 

 

Marines just pull into town

 

Mayor: 'is there someone in charge?'

Marine: ' Former Secratary H. H. ldjfkjladksklfjklasdjfkl is now the President

Jake: 'we heard there were six guys from six different capitols claiming to be president

Marine: 'that's been resolved.  The federal government is reunifying in Columbus, OH.'

Mayor: 'How did they decide on Columbus!?' <---he says this in disbelief the bastard, the new mayor is a real jerk.

Marine: 'All I know is that my orders are coming from the commanding officer....

 

I never thought Columbus would get such recognition in Hollywood.  YAY!

^you guys weren't even important enough to get nuked, but now you are the capital, doesn't seem right

^ lol, here we go ...

also, on a CSI *i think it was miami* they were talking about fidel castro and how he "tried out for the Cincinnati Reds"... i doubt that is true

I'm pretty much a CSI dork...I'm surprised I missed that one.  Quite funny if you ask me.

WKRP in Cincinnati recently came out on DVD - apparently there was a long delay due to the music, and a lot of it was changed.  Also, I have not seen Wild Hogs as it looks pretty lame, but John Travolta et al are supposed to be living in suburban Cincinnati.  Too bad no crews came to town - Albuquerque stood in for the city.

 

Finally in June, John From Cincinnati begins on a new HBO drama.  I do not think he is really from here in the show and details are still a little light, but we are in the title.

Anyone see Conan O'Brien last night?

 

The show was filmed in SanFran and he's doing his neighborhood tour thing that he does whenever he visits a city and he was acting as a tour guide in the Coit Tower and he said that you could even see a part of Cincinnati from the top ... and then the camera zoomed in on some guys face and he had this look on his face, like you're full of shit.

Albuquerque? You gotta be kiddin' me!

^ Apparently it took awhile to find some greenery.  Considering they are supposed to be in the suburbs it would be easier.  I also assume there are no downtown shots.

Hey I'm on the lighting crew for a low-budget zombie movie being shot this summer called BOOK OF THE DEAD: NECROMANCER.  The budget is approximately $20,000 with the major splurge being a few shots with a helicopter.  This movie is having a pre-shoot fund raising party at Bernie's on High St. across from OSU in Columbus on June 15.  There will be about 4 bands playing and everyone is invited to dress as zombies.  It's going to be something like $8 at the door and this cash goes to production of the movie. Additionally, anyone is invited to come and sign up to be a zombie in the actual movie.  Zombie movies tend to need a lot of zombies and this one is no exception.       

 

A salient excerpt from the director's plot synopsis:

 

The third scene involves the capture of Gabriel by Alexis. Gabriel is tied down at an altar in an old church near the cemetery in the complete nude. She is able to break free and uses her sword to attack the zombies in the old church. This scene has her leaping and spinning through the air fighting a mob of zombies in the nude as blood and body parts fly everywhere.

"I'm feeling a little Cincinnati"

^The clip was absurd, but for some reason I really enjoyed it.  And it seems that this TV show is about surfing, from what I have read (primarily the review on Slate.com).

OMG... that clip is hilarious.  I am not gonna go UncleRando on it though and defend Cincinnati against a YouTube clip ;)

The sad thing is that I have the exact same pair of white golf pants and dark khaki Members Only jacket that "John" is sporting in the clip.  The boys HBO really did their research.

I'm officially addicted. The show is getting better and better. I think John is an Elder grad. :wink: Here's a few more clips.

 

"John from Cincinnati" cancelled. Cleveland forumers implicated:

Yeah, I'll miss it. There were flat out funny scenes then there were large chucks of dialogue where I had no idea what they were talking about. It was definitely odd.

 

The end is near, indeed.

^ lol! spoken like a true m.o.r. ohioan. 

 

in my lifetime i dont think cinci ever came up in any conversation other than a sports event now and then. its like it don't exist up there. and vice versa i'm sure.

 

no, "john" was cancelled because it was just weird, and not in a good way. i tried to watch it a couple times, but it was a no go.

 

 

I lasted one episode, about 10 minutes. Perhaps if it had anything to do with Cincy (other than main character's hometown) it might have been more interesting.

I went and saw I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry the other night. On Chucks wall there is an old Crosley Field sign that has Dayton, Cincy, Blanchester, etc. listed on it. Later on in the movie Chuck is watching a sports show (I think ESPN) and they talk about how the Reds have had so many losing seasons but were battling for the best record in the MLB. I'm assuming that must have been from last year. Also a few minutes ago the History channel mentioned that in a poll from Ohio University, 36 percent believe federal officials assisted or had something to do with attacks on Sept 11.

^Aren't air traffic controllers federal?

I watched The Sentinel (starring Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland, Eva Logoria). It's about the Secret Service Agency trying to find a traitor planning on killing the President. The S.S. refer to the President and First Lady in code words. The First Lady's code word is Cincinnati. So you hear things like Cincinnati has left the building, Cincinnati has enter the car, and Cincinnati is going to the beach. Pretty cool. They even called her Cincy once. The best part of course is who played Cincinnati. Not too many people can measure up to the name Cincinnati, but <b>Kim Basinger</b> filled the position nicely.

 

Now if the code name was Cleveland, only Betty White could play that role. ;-)

Well played.

Or perhaps...

^Aren't air traffic controllers federal?

 

Yep

^Aren't air traffic controllers federal?

 

Yep

 

Well, they had something to do with those events, so I guess the people are right.

But to be clear, the polling was conducted at one of C-Dawg's house parties.

Watching K-Ville on Fox. A cop show that takes place in New Orleans. The main character, actor Anthony Anderson (who was great as a nasty drug dealer on The Shield) gets a new partner from the only place that can handle New Orleans' crime problem, Cincinnati. Anderson ask "what's a guy from the North doing down here?" Only time will tell.

I just got done watching tonight's episode of Smallville.  At about minute 35, they showed Clark and Supergirl in front of the Metropolis skyline, but guess what, it was a shot of Cincinnati taken from Mt. Adams!

No way! Is that Season 7, Episode 2? ... I'm a HUGE Smallville fan! We don't watch them on TV. We wait and then download them commercial free and then buy the season set on disc.

You would be a fan of Smallville.

If you watched it, you'd be too, foo!

Here's a couple of screenshots:

 

 

 

I just watched this episode tonight (actually it's still on) and I was like wtf?? I jumped on here to see if anyone else  noticed it. lol

 

I can't figure why they would use cinci's skyline for metropolis?

You sound like your complaining???

There was an ad in ESPN magazine that had Cincy's skyline in it. I can't remember what the product was but it was a picture of a loft and outside the windows was a black and white Cincinnati skyline (as viewed from Kentucky). I guess advertisers are getting sick of using New York and are trying to connect with mid-America?

 

I would guess that they used Cincinnati's skyline because it's dense and attractive, but it's not well-recognized, so it gives a generic Anytown U.S.A. vibe to the ad.  I think it isn't so much connecting to "mid-America" per se, but more like connecting to all of America outside of New York City.

I agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if the reason was because someone on the show lived in cincy

Oops, I meant that as a response to j3shafer.  I'll insert the quote.

 

As for the show, I would agree about there being a possible local connection.

Nonsense! Cleveland is the staple Anytown, USA.

You perceive insults too readily.  What I was saying is that since most people around the country don't recognize the Cincinnati skyline, to them, it could be anywhere.  The same is true for the Cleveland skyline, and I would venture for most American skylines with the possible exceptions of New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis, and Seattle (cities with nationally known, highly iconic buildings.)  I wasn't calling Cincinnati an "Anytown, USA."  Don't put words in my mouth.

^It's David.  Don't take his sarcasm seriously.

In the midwest you have a lot of cities clustered together within a few hours of each other, being of similar size. I can see Indy, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Louisville all being percieved as Anytown, USA.

We're no People's Republic of Boulder.

I saw a trailer for First Sunday, an Ice Cube, Tracy Morgan comedy I won't be seeing.

 

The Hamilton County Courthouse is the court they go to.

Represent!

 

 

you know he was nick LA-chee in cinci before he blossomed into nick la-SHAY. that's like a girl getting fake boobs.

When I become famous, I will pronounce the silent 'h'

I don't understand.  Why is this awesome?

Your singing to the choir, man. Those other cities don't have a chance. ;-)

I can't believe no one has followed up on this. Here's Team Cincinnati kicking some choir butt.
