It's interesting you mentioned this. The pictures reminded me of Vanilla Sky, which prominently features empty Times Square.
- danso 13y agoFunny you should mention that. Every time I think of Times Square being empty (which can happen at certain angles at certain very early times of day), I think of Roger Ebert's review of Vanilla Sky: http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/vanilla-sky-2001 http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/vanilla-sky-2001 > Note: Early in the film, there's an astonishing shot of Tom Cruise absolutely alone in Times Square. You might assume, as I did, that computers were involved. Cameron Crowe told me the scene is not faked; the film got city permission to block off Times Square for three hours early on a Sunday morning. Just outside of camera range there are cops and barricades to hold back the traffic.
