Harlem Street Shooting: MJZ
Cheryl and I met up with Scott and Lizz Thursday night to catch dinner at Dinosaur BBQ. On the way, of course, we saw the ubiquitous Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting no parking signs.
Around the corner from Dinosaur BBQ and the Fairway parking lot in the micronabe recently named ViVa (Viaduct Valley), no parking signs for "MJZ" production company to film the production "MJZ" were on the lampposts.
Unfortunately, street time for MJZ had come and gone, so there were no crew members around to be totally unhelpful when inquiring about what was being filmed. Cheryl and I took some guesses as to what MJZ stands for, which included "Mr. Jay-Z" filming a music video, his French counterpart "Monsieur Jay-Z" filming a music video that includes a baguette and aged cheese pungent enough to smell through the television, and, this is our favorite, MJZ is the code name for a secret crime fighting city program to put a film crew on every corner.
Anyone can put a cop on every corner, but a film crew? Imagine the possibilities.
WOMAN: Oh, the horror!
OFFICER: Mam, no need to tell us what happened. We have the prankster on high quality 35mm film placing the banana on the sidewalk. As we speak, our foley artist is dubbing a slide whistle over your slip and a bike horn over your subsequent fall.
WOMAN: Oh thank you!
This might seem far fetched, but seriously, who watches 'Rescue Me'?
