This week had actors jumping all over the great city of Vancouver, as they went on location in quirky outlying neighborhoods like Burnaby and Westminster Quay. Burnaby is a quaint little suburb with ducks in ponds and trees and parks - the kind of place where people do a lot of strolling. Westminster Quay, on the other hand, is an industrial area right on the river. It's gentrifying (of course), but people there have calloused hands and hearts of gold.
Seeing so many actors hard at work really highlighted the division between those who get work, and those who just don't. Jean-Claude Van Damme, we're looking at you. It seems as though he's determined to keep partying in Vancouver, probably taking advantage of the exchange rate. At least he's moved on from karaoke and now is hitting up bars favored by the "Sex and the City" ladies. A ClubZone user has a review of the bar, called Ginger 62:
The perfect sized venue for an intimate feel. Great decor with good lighting. The music consistently works the room and the hot crowd without all the little kiddies is a bonus. Mix it all up and the result is a great atmosphere.
On the other hand, Pierce Brosnan, Rachel McAdams, and Mark Wahlberg were all spotted hard at work on their movies. Rachel and Pierce have to withstand heavily starched period costumes. Mark has to run around drenched in blood. Which would you prefer?
Will somebody put Jean-Claude in a movie so he can have a reason for his West End antics. Just a cameo? Something, please.

After all the rampant wholesomeness of the past week, things are getting downright sinful in Vancouver. Danny DeVito and Mark Wahlberg committed gluttony, Kristin Davis and Matthew Perry got lustful, and Jean-Claude Van Damme - actually, crazy isn't technically a sin, is it? However we are faitly certain karaoke is a sin. The Vancouverite also came across a huge cache of celebrities-in-Vancouver gossip, proving you can take them out of Hollywood...you know the rest.
Details about this Chasing Vancouver project, after the jump. ]]> Katherine2006-08-04T12:04:50-05:00Search JauntedSearch Jauntedstring
