The Man

I had a really fun weekend. On Saturday I headed downtown to St. Lawrence Market with some friends, and we walked around a bit. I managed to get my hands on super inexpensive passionfruit (I'll be attempting that tart again soon), and some truffle oil. Can't wait to put both to use. I also ran into an old high school friend not one minute after setting foot in the building. I hadn't seen her in about 6 years, so hopefully we can catch up soon.

THEN, my friend and I crossed downtown towards Healy's, where Jeff Healy plays for free every Saturday afternoon. On our way there, we chanced upon a movie set, for the movie The Man. There isn't much info on it on imdb, but given Eugene Levy's presence, and the scene we watched being filmed, I can only assume it's a comedy.

The scene went something like this:

Detroit Free Press

USA Today - note bystander with Canadian flag on his bike

The intersection (Bay and Richmond in Toronto, but supposedly Detroit) is filled with police cars, and they scream at the people in the black car to get out of the car with their hands up.

Eugene Levy comes running out (with his pants undone), and tells the cops that it's not what it looks like, and he's not with him (the man in the car) and it's not what it looks like.

Pants mid-fall

Meanwhile, his pants fall off completely.

Eugene's skivvies

Then, Samuel L. Jackson comes out of the car (I didn't get a shot, unfortunately, and he was looking MOIGHTY fine, with cornrows) and screams at the cops to run his plates, because he's FBI, and they're interfering with an FBI investigation. He flashes his badge, waits for them to run the plates, which they apparently do, and at that the scene ends.

DUDE! It was so cool. I can't wait to see this movie when it comes out. And I'll squeal like a little girl when I see that scene!
