One of the great things about New York is the hustle, the activity, the thrill of living in a place where art and commerce commingle, and the stars walk the same streets as the rest of the citizens, and - HEY, GET YOUR PRIVATE BUS OFF MY BLOCK, YA PUTZ:

Look at the SIZE of that thing. The New York Post has more:

It has marble floors, and a 100-inch TV in the screening room. Oh, it gets better:

Hey, if he had the permits, then get used to it. Where's that famous New Yorker pride in your right to be rude and selfish?

Here's something a guy in the nabe shot; according to the YouTube page, he says he asked someone outside the truck what they were shooting, and the man said "Doritos commercial."

Another view. Looks like a beautiful day in Manhattan. You can hear the birds chirping, too. Is it just me, or does the second fellow they interview start out talking like a New Yorker and shift into a Scottish accent of some kind?

The real story here? They're shooting Men in Black 3, and we still don't know if they have an actual script.

Details, details. They could shoot ten hours of improv, edit it into some sort of story, add lots of CGI, put the actors in the poster in the MiB garb, and it would make enough money to keep that trailer's engines running 24/7 until 2189.
