Did anyone go see destructo-porn blockbuster, I Am Legend, this weekend? Apparently New Yorkers who saw the movie up close and personal when it was being filmed gave it two thumbs down, or rather -- one middle finger up! amNewYork reports on Will Smith's run-ins with disgruntled locals."I would say, percentage-wise, it's the most amount of middle fingers I have received in my career. I'm used to people liking me… [all those] middle fingers, I......

It turns out that yesterday's successful attempt to free the U.S.S. Intrepid from being mired in Hudson River mud was momentarily in doubt. The tugboats initially managed to move the 29,000 ton aircraft carrier ten feet, but then it stopped. The NY Times reports that towing pilot for McAllister Towing, Jeffrey McAllister "urged tugboat pilots to try to 'wiggle' the hull to break the grip of the mud" which worked. McAllister, though, said, "If......

No holiday gridlock here! A month after it refused to budge from Pier 86, the U.S.S. Intrepid has successfully been freed from the mud and is on its way to Bayonne, NJ for repairs. Six tugboats with over 30,000 horsepower helped the 27,000 ton vessel down the Hudson River. The Intrepid Foundation's president Bill White yelled, "This old baby is moving!" and other crewmembers reportedly cried. One man who served on the Intrepid during......

The Post interviews some of Michael Richards' friends, and surprise surprise-- they said he's pretty tightly wound. Ed Bradley was remembered at his memorial service as "cooler than cool." Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: an "unusual trauma" in Astoria, a car fire on the West Side Highway, and a homicide in the Bronx. Hevesi slaps back at Pataki: he says the outgoing Governor is pushing through billions of dollars in wasteful spending during his......

The poor Intrepid. Months of planning (not to mention $250,000) were put into planning yesterday's move from Pier 86 on the West Side of Manhattan to Bayonne, NJ, where the aircraft carrier would be repaired and repainted. Former Navy officers who originally served on the Intrepid, as well as Senator Hillary Clinton and former Mayor Ed Koch and David Dinkins, were invited for the farewell ceremony. But the Intrepid only moved 15 feet before......

Get ready, 'cause Fleet Week begins tomorrow. There are many events planned through May 31, with a Parade of Ships tomorrow in the Hudson River (the parade is at 11:30AM, though there's a "salute to the ships" at Bluff at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn at 8AM). The Intrepid has a bunch of Fleet Week events, like the Tug of War on Saturday and Best Chow competition on Sunday. Check out pictures from last year's Fleet......

The arrival of the Queen Mary 2 yesterday awed and excited New Yorkers, with thrilling moments like when the biggest ship ever (so far) plugged along under the Verranzano Narrows Bridge and passed the Statue of Liberty. The Post put the ship's size into perspective - it's "86 feet longer than the Chrysler Building is tall." Holy. New Yorkers oohed and aahed over a spectacle not seen since the decline of transatlantic boat travel. An......
