No I do mean contempt, only because I've been to those spots working in Philly for almost 2 years, and one thing I do is film film landmarks, they are just in really shitty neighborhoods where you almost wouldn't want to even leave your car, and half don't look like they did in the films. I think the steps and the statue will be enough for you, which is then where you would be content. I guess it depends on how long you'd be in the city. But if you had only a day. You could do the Steps, the Statue, even the museum, then a Philly, or the Penitentiary where they shot Shawshank (Best horror exhibit if you go that time) and American History aspects like the bell or the Franklin Institute. And then on your way out to the airport you can pass through the other Rocky spots.


I'd have to go to Mick's Gym, the steps, the statue, have a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich for lunch, jump over a bench, then dinner at Adrians (apparently it is a real restaurant). That would do for me.

SF and that area was the best for me. You have Dirty Harry, Bullit, Mrs. Doubtfire, Fullhouse, Any Alcatraz film, Vertigo, etc,


Not exactly getting excited for those films. Thing with San Francisco is that it is a lovely place, but no one place stands out. The tram and hills, obviously, but they feature in lots of films, and you wouldn't be able to pinpoint an exact part of the tram or hills that is in a film. Still would love to visit there, though.

Yeah, I don't think so. I extended a theoretical meet with you before and you snubbed me.

I was younger and dumber then.

I'd say it's more 50/50
