An answer that bizarre deserves a followup.
It's not that bizarre. I moved to San Francisco because of all the skateboarding videos I watched when I was 13.
I'd bet that 90% of the people who move to NYC move here because of an idea of the city that is based on movies or tv shows.
- replicatorblog 17y agoOk, but SF and NY are world capitals, tech/biz hubs. Skateboarding was part of the cultural zeitgeist for decades. The Patriot was a big budget "B" movie that featured the carnage of a bunch of innocents. I actually like the movie as a guilty pleasure. To put it another way, I wouldn't move to Minnesota because of Wayne's World.
- starkfist 17y agoWayne's World was somewhere in Illinois. I would totally move to Minnesota if it was really like Purple Rain. (It's not - it's more like Mall Rats)
- pchristensen 17y agoWayne's World was set (not filmed) in Aurora, IL, where I now live. (I did not move here out of Wayne's World nostalgia).
