On Location! Total Recall Filming in Toronto

"Total Recall", a new sci-fi action film, scheduled to be released in the United States and Canada on August 3, 2012, is filming now in Toronto. Lake Shore Blvd has been closed on July 25, 26, 2011, from 5:00 AM to 9:00PM, from Parliament Street to Jarvis Street.


Main action has been going between Parliament St and Sherbourne St. Futuristic, flying, levitating cars and main characters' racing cars have been taking wild turns on this stretch of Lakeshore Boulevard. You can check out video from the car chase filming on Youtube. It was nice to watch dramatic chases, car turning in the curves, and camera crews around them. Exhaust gases, violent shaking of the stunt cars can be seen as the cars and crew trucks accelerate on the highway. The actual cars have been mounted on special trucks, carriers allowing them to look like they are flying. Here are some pics and videos.

If You Want to be a Part of a New Book, Visit Starbucks at Indigo Eatons Centre

While visiting Starbucks at Indigo, Eaton's Center, downtown Toronto, it was not difficult to spot big, greenish sign at one of the tables occupied by three young men:

"We are writing a book by chatting with people like you. We would love to chat."



Apparently, these young writers would like to chat with Starbucks customers and make a book. Idea looks really nice. Given how busy this Starbucks is, I am sure this group of writers will have more than enough material from their chat to write a possibly intriguing and captivating book.

Urbana Coffee Has a Nice Coffee and Nice Temperature Inside

Just today I have been visiting Urbana Coffee on Bay Street, south of Yonge. Outside was around 34 degrees C (93.2 F), and while many coffee shops had a chilling cold AC inside, Urbana Coffee maintained a comfortable temperature maybe of 25 to 26 degrees, not too hot, not too cold. Excellent environment to have their excellent coffee too (mild, Colombian) while reading my favorite book, "Energy Risk" D. Pilipovic :-)
