I think they still do a special weekend at the hotel, and I think one of their suites is named for the movie too.
Must have been fun to work on the island!

They did a prequel Escanaba in love. Not sure if there was a movie but it is a play. Had it here at the croswell a couple months ago. |

Ok I'll say it, 8 Mile. Simply because part of it was filmed where I grew up.

I thought 8 mile was a great movie.
Maybe a bunch of us should do our own movie (as suggested) maybe a combination of
Escabana in the Moonlight and Zack and Miri make a Porno?

8 Mile and Gran Torino. Although I'm only 20 so that limits how many old movies I know.

I liked how "Out of Sight" finally showed both sides of metro Detroit - the really gritty (which always gets shown) and the really wealthy (which never gets shown).
We do the extremes of third world-style divisions between wealth and poverty better than anybody! Whoo hoo!
