Yeah it sucks if you visit that shit every day, of course you would recognize it.
To anyone else though, you'd just think it's part of the imperial base.
It's fine.
>>68063259
What did you expect them to do? Build an entirely new working train station for just 1 scene or make a really awkward CGI station?
>>68064832
The new crossrail station has some great restaurants. Finger blasted some slut from KPMG on the roof garden. Pretty great
>>68064711
It's not a city square, it's a wharf
>>68063259
Jesus I thought it was a tube station, reminded me of Bank, but yeah Canary Wharf makes sense.

NOBODY in America knows what a fucking wharf is. Probably because it was a term from back in the 1200's.

>it's okay for sci fi movies set in distant galaxies to look exactly like your neighboorhood subway
The set design is non existent. This is lazy filmaking. They have millions upon millions of dollars that they could use to either built a set or just not have that scene a replace it without something else. You're not going to have star wars characters come to a city in some planet galaxies away and then show an image of the empire state building or the space needle. Same principle applies here. They made no effort in disguising it at all

If you can easily identify the real life location they shot when it should be a fictional scifi location, they've massively failed their job.
Especially when it's only a 2 second shot of it.
It's one of the busiest tube stations, they were never going to get away with just putting some covers over the escalators and signs and pretending its the death star.

>>68066126
There are no Pakis in central London. They all live out in some of the suburbs, but mostly in the northern cities. London is all black people, but none of them work in the City. Most of the people that use the station are rich, white economists and lawyers from Surrey.
>>68066231
>That Episode II shot is the best looking shot in that picture
The point is that it is an easily recognisable real-world location, and that's fine.
>>68066257
It is completely unacceptable to expect them to work the occasional late shift in a £50,000 a year job 'driving' automated trains. How are they supposed to enjoy their 43 days of holiday if they have to work shifts?

>>68065833
Agreed, good set design and set dressing is rapidly becoming a lost art, especially when they go out and dress a pre-existing location.
Compare all the stuff in TFA shot on practical sets at Pinewood that looks fantastic (about ~30% of the film because they used an obnoxious amount of greenscreen when they weren't on location somewhere) to the on-location shooting. The location shots are so badly-arranged, poorly-dressed and shoddily-blocked it's laughable. Like the world's most expensive SyFy original movie.
>>68065400

It's Canary Wharf, if nothing else, you can tell by the shapes of the things they've built over the seats/signs

They haven't built anything over anything.
I 100% guarantee all of this is CGI'd into the existing footage, because there's no way they could shut down Canary Wharf tube station each day for long enough to assemble a complex set, shoot, dismantle it and repeat the next day - not without the locals raising Cain.
>>68066801
No, it's a Bong movie location thread.
>>68066860

>>68064944

>>68066860
They were probably night shoots.
>>68066808
I used to.
Had to commute to university in Wood Green, the other fucking side of the picadilly line. Waiting for them to let you into Victoria underground because of overcrowding was hellish.
I actually would have been on the tube, going on the right direction, about the time the bombs went off if I had gone to university on 7/7. Luckily they'd broken up about a week before.
>>68066860
>locals
It's a train station literally surrounded by skyscrapers. No one lives there. They would have shot it at night.
>>68066801
Damn, never been down there. There was a Vue cinema I used to go to all the time in the shithole that is Turnpike Lane/Wood Green because it was dirt cheap on certain days of the week.

Do you know how long it takes to assemble and disassemble a set? A day's location shooting usually ends up being 15 hours or more to make it cost-effective, they are not going to waste the precious 8 hours every night putting up a practical set and taking it down.
>>68065620
Then you lot descended from them

Parts of the Jubilee line sometimes shut down for weekends at a time for engineering works.
The bit between Canada Water and Stratford, which includes Canary Wharf, has a tendency to be down a lot. As long as the film crew know in advance when the work was scheduled they could fit the scene in quite comfortably.

fucking wat?
>>68067668
Circus is a Latin word for circle. Piccadilly circus is essentially a large circle
It'd be interesting to see if they take elements from the design of the station platform and add them in other places in their sets to make everything overall more coherent, like that grating above the suicide doors, for example, or the designs of the tannoy speakers that they haven't altered at all...
>>68063259

>>68067828
Nobody wants Elephant and Castle, mate.
>>68067793
Wetherspoon steaks are great for the price and not too bad cut/source/prep-wise if their magazines are to be believed.
Most of their food comes in packets they microwave or heat in an oven though. So don't be tricked into thinking all their food is the same quality.
>>68067832
Is it just a spontaneous thing where you can turn up with a few cans, or does everyone already know each other?
>>68067668
You're an uneducated buffoon.
>>68067844
Obviously not all thier pubs, the crossed keys pub in bishopsgate does some great steak
>>68067870
Spontaneous. That's why timing is key, it helps if you've got a few drunks to instigate it but it's pretty fun once it gets going. It's usually the last trains and they aren't exclusive to circle lines there was a great one last week on the bakerloo
