Breathing Bus Fumes
"This is what I've always liked about New York...these little moments on the sidewalk, you can watch the buildings, you can feel the air, look at the people...and sometimes you meet somebody you feel you can talk to." -- line from trailer for New York, I Love You, the more-or-less-finished anthology film in the vein of Paris jet'aime (from the same producers) that will debut at the Toronto Film Festival.

I think this film will take "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" and increase the number of actors connected to Mr. Bacon exponentially. There's no stopping it now.

I'm just glad that a movie FINALLY captures the New York of quintessential NY filmmakers Brett Ratner and Scarlett Johanson.

That's an easy shot Winchester, but if the film is anything like the Paris version, some fragments will be better than others, but they all add their little piece to the whole and something bigger emerges. You can sit back and dismiss the weaker pieces, or you can just enjoy the whole.

Count me in with the "enjoy the whole" crowd. Yes, there were a smattering of minor duds in the Paris film, but somehow they still managed to not diminish the whole.

Good trailer but the directorial line up is not a patch on the Paris film.

"the directorial line up is not a patch on the Paris film."
Also, the sun is slightly warmer than the Antarctic.

That's right Mark. Usually these omnibus films fall flat. There are always a handful of great stories and an equal number of duds, but with Paris most were pretty good, a few were great and the couple of duds were over so quickly they didn't detract from the whole. Instead, each film added another layer to what had come before.
It was an interesting success and it will be interesting to see if they can replicate it.

Why is this not called I LOVE NEW YORK? With the heart and all that. In the words of a local radio ad, that's the biggest no brainer in the history of earth.

It's because the I heart NY logo is trademarked, no?
One of the better t-shirts I've seen in my days simply said "NY doen't *heart* you"

Yes and I'm sure the New York City Board of Tourism would have no interest in licensing it to an anthology film praising New York.

Real new yorkers don't say they love NY; quite the opposite in fact. For the most part, we leave the praise singing to the dopes who moved here from places like Cleveland.
As BurmaShave pointed out, Not using I LOVE NEW YORK for the title shows so little marketing savvy that I don't have very high hopes for the film overall.
