The View of Will Smith's Dumbo

" I am a survivor living in New York City" and you will never find my ass at the South Street Seaport. I guess old Will's a tourist.

There will be lots more important things to worry about than real estate prices should this come to pass.

The bigger question is, should Hollywood be doing movies like this?

rents in williamsburg will still be high, mainly because of the zombie population living there.

I'm planning on starting a ferry service.

Well, it's certainly a novel way to deal with congestion pricing.

traffic at the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel must be a nightmare.

Yeah, Brenda from Flatbush, I'm with you. Images--and movies--like this just make me queasy. They're neither thought-provoking (as, for instance, serious art or writing on the subject might be), nor are they satisfying escapist entertainment (as this genre of movie should be). Guess I'm a wimp too...

New flash! Frustrated with the ever rising prices of vintage brownstones and bland cookie cutter glass box new condos due to Manhattan transplants "discovering" the charms of Brooklyn (the fourth largest city if it were a city), a militant group of neighborhood preservationists demolished all transportation links connecting the two boroughs, including the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. The group was lead by a former green beret, navy seal, army commando and real estate agent who kept muttering "I kept telling everyone that someday this war's gonna end and it did. I ended it! Serves those beautiful home envying sub-prime borrowing f____ers right. Now I can finally buy that clocktower penthouse at One Hanson"

Speaking of NY apocalyptic movies, can anyone still watch Escape From Mew York" where the President's (the great Donald Pleasence) plane crashes into one of the Twin Towers? I can't.

You know, I had a hard time watching Independence Day--another Will Smith action flick with apocalyptic NYC imagery--back when it came out (well before 9/11). Cringe.

The problem with Escape From New York is now they would build a wall and blow the bridges to keep people OUT of Manhattan.

BrooklynLove finds a silver lining. Ya gotta love the positive people.

have any of you actually seen this film, or know what it is about? didn't think so.

There's a physics problem in this photo.

The suspension cables rest on top of the towers. They are not nailed there.

With the center span gone, the outer links of the bridge would also come down.

Duh.

The trailer looks pretty good but 28 Days may have already beat them to the punch. I love that scene with WILL SMITH speeding uptown in what may be a Mustang or BMW .
