Spiderman update part 2: Came home last night after Pride weekend warm-up drinks at XL and dinner at Elmo with Phyllis and George Glass. Took a cab home, but the ride was cut short by massive activity on Court Street. The area surrounding the Cobble Hill Cinema was blocked off, with production, camera operators, and extras in full effect. The marquee of the cinema had been changed to read "Stuyvesant Cinema" (or something like that), with Bridge on the River Kwai listed as one of the movies. They basically just seemed to be shooting extras waiting in line to get into the theatre (the extras were annoying by the way, as we walked by the movie theatre one extra remarked to another "Oh, they're just normal people." Excuse me, Senor Non-speaking Role?) Catering service was in full effect too, but I was too tired to try to steal a bite of anything. No star sightings, but we basically stood around for only a couple minutes before giving in to exhaustion.

UPDATE: 423 Smith has some pictures of the whole shebang. The fake smoke alluded to there smelled really odd, like the New York Aquarium had just evaporated.
