ICE CUBE: Paranoia's coming to get me
I only left the Ital because the cast and crew of Paranoia started their tour of South Philly at the same time Bourdain was in the Market.
ICE CUBE: Paranoia's coming to get me
OK, perhaps I picked the wrong day to leave my Italian Market neighborhood. Anthony Bourdain was strolling up and down my block of Ninth Street, filming bits of his television show The Layover with stops at Di Bruno’s (where owner Emilio Magnucci chatted him up), Paesano's (eating “Livveraces” and hanging with owner Peter McAndrews) and the living shrine to Brit chef Marco Pierre White before heading to Amis and Dirty Frank’s. This morning he was at Pho 75. I should stay home more often.
I only left the Ital because the cast and crew of Paranoia started their tour of South Philly at the same time Bourdain was in the Market. While film trucks lined both sides of South Fifth from Tasker to Moore, from Morris and Sixth to Moyamensing and South Fourth at Cross (the area doubles for Brooklyn), the main action of Paranoia took place between Fourth and Fifth on Morris. That’s where we repeatedly watched Liam Hemsworth’s character (all in white) getting yelled at by Josh Holloway’s character (in a charcoal colored suit and tie). Who doesn’t love symbols of purity and evil at odds with each other, especially when it involves the nice guy from Hunger Games and “Sawyer” from Lost?
Before that scene started, I watched Hemsworth go between trailers without a shirt while my photographer was changing lenses. Drat that. After that scene wrapped, Holloway headed to his trailer just doors from Hemsworth’s wherein upon his exit, he grabbed a smoke, put on a baseball cap and shades and greeted us before taking off for the day. Filming hadn’t ended though — the next Paranoia scene was set to involve Hemsworth and Richard Dreyfuss. So out came Dreyfuss from the last trailer in the row, equipped with a back brace and wearing a faux Brooklyn baseball jersey. It was then, as we shot Dreyfuss, that security had had enough of us and blocked the rest of our shots. OK then, we’ll see you at that double wide ex-church on Lombard between Eighth and Ninth, the one you dolled up to look like a stately manor, even if you won’t see us (word has it that most of the shoot at that location is indoors). Bring Indiana Jones and Commissioner Gordon (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) with you next time.
