Kennedy Space Center is in my county, so that makes up about 90 percent of our film appearances.

It was funny when they brought up Titusville at the end of Better Call Saul, even if it was obvious they did not actually film here.

 

i always forget you know that area lol

 

I mean you got:



Also technically in my area too. Big Cat Rescue is in Tampa.

 

I was there two weeks ago. The area off 50 is so run down.

 

brutal

 

i do remember having some of the better shellfish ive had there though, i forget the name of the restaurant

 

Also I guess a lot of Hallmark and Lifetime movies are filmed here. Hallmark movies from what I hear are the cornerstone of Tampa's film industry.

 

Robocop

 

The motel scene of my bloody valentine 3D was filmed 2 miles from my parent’s house. More recently a ton of stuff has been filmed around Pittsburgh including some shitty dive bars I’ve been to.

 

Besides “Ted Lasso” filming some scenes for its new season and “The Last of Us” shooting a scene for its previous season, not a whole lot of stuff films here because we don’t give out the tax credits other states do.

 

Mayor of Kingstown shoots a lot of stuff near me.

 

20 miles outside of Boston is where you reside?

 

Kansas City lol

 

I actually got to drive through the area where the Florida Project was shot on Sunday. It is out of the way and really slow but I was in no hurry to get home. Every time I go that way another building has been abandoned, overgrown with nature.

 

Also this movie was shot and is set right by me. Based on a true story too. I have been to that aquarium in Clearwater Beach a bunch growing up. Winter the tailess dolphin is my homie.

 

An episode of Fargo was filmed at a huge historic mansion in my hometown. It's in the middle of a corn field, but they definitely had to edit my high school and a megachurch out of the background of a few shots.

 

i used to work for the Missouri state government back in 2019 and sat in hearings for bills trying to reinstate tax credits for filming movies and TV shows in the state. the ball is mostly in the state's courts, as representatives for the MPAA indicated they'd love to come back and film in MO/other states again (iirc, the last major production they claimed had filmed in MO was Gone Girl; even The Act, that show about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, took place in my hometown of Springfield but filmed in Georgia instead). it's all about tax credits, and while some legislators expressed excitement about that happening again, legislation like that gets pushed to the side to get other bills out the door (in my case, it was a set of Republicans blocking a large chunk of bills so they could get a blanket ban on abortion passed before Roe was overturned, so idk if MO ever revisited it).

 

north carolina used to have a ton of stuff filmed here but i think they changed the tax credit stuff and it seems like most of that has moved to atlanta since ive lived here

 

Yeah, local filmmakers have pushing for tax credits for years and always seem to get close, but never quite there. Kansas City tends to give out tax credits, which is how they got that one season of “Queer Eye” here.

 

Universal Language was very good. Might have made my best of 2024 list.

 

Put it on your 2025 list, coward.

 

Is Universal Language good?

 

Ryan Murphy's 9-1-1 has reached "first responders in space" levels of wacky

 

nothing surprises me anymore. real hack shit

 

I would never watch, but I do appreciate when shows don't give a fuck and just go insane
