May 22nd, 2007 · 5 Comments

Diminished Capacity

Last week, we had Baby Mama and Amy Poehler and Tina Fey shooting on Seventh Avenue and Fifth Avenue. This week, we have Diminished Capacity shooting on Eighth Avenue and Eighth and Seventh Streets. The comedy stars Matthew Broderick, Virginia Madsen, Alan Alda and others. It is described as follows: “A man (Broderick) suffering from memory takes a trip to a memorabilia expo with his Alzheimer’s-impaired relative (Alda) and his high school flame (Madsen), where the trio plans to finalized their scheme to sell a rare baseball card.”

    Could “Diminished Capacity” be a docu-drama about how there are fewer parking spaces in the Slope, now that location-shooting season is officially open?

    There were also a lot of spaces flagged in Cobble Hill last night.

    Most unfortunate.
