“Ian Watches” PGH Movie of the Week: Adventureland

June 25, 2013 Ian

This is the inaugural post of what will hopefully become a weekly event.

That way, if you so please, you can visit said locations and say, “Hey, Batman was on this sidewalk!” If that’s the kind of thing you’re into. Also for those movies filmed in Pittsburgh, but not set in Pittsburgh in the movie’s plot, I will reveal the giveaways of how the movie messed up in hiding… Read the rest
