‘Impossible Pursuits’ at Kramer Levin
Kramer Levin is going to be a film star. The New York office received notice yesterday that a movie shooting will start there next week.

Subject: Movie Shoot at KLThe firm has consented to permit several scenes from “Love and Other Impossible Pursuits” to be filmed in our space. The movie features Natalie Portman, Lisa Kudrow and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Filming is scheduled to begin next week and will take place in 29C - 29L - the north corridor of 30 and office 3027. I know this will present some inconvenience, but we thought that it would add a bit of excitement and fun in an otherwise challenging time. I ask your patience and no, they don’t require any extras, stunt people, walk-on’s or real lawyers!! Filming will take place primarily on Wednesday and Thursday of next week but there will be some activity as early as tomorrow. They chose our space because it conveyed the image of a big, powerful, successful NYC law firm (in spite of our recent plumbing issues). The film will be released next year and the firm will be mentioned in the credits.
In the novel-based film, Natalie Portman will play an aspiring lawyer who “thought she knew what she wanted when she went after the sexy, married senior partner,” Jeffrey Dean Morgan (aka Denny Duquette from Grey’s Anatomy). No plumbing issues for the firm partner: Portman’s character gets pregnant.

First to flush Natalie's plumbing!
Kramer's office space sucks. Would have chosen Cravath or Skadden over that shithole.
Nice, Kash.
And nice grocer's apostrophe, Nick.
Is there office really that nice? Never been but I cannot imagine it's looks better than WLRK, Cleary, STB, or DPW.
Hot.
that's awesome!
Natalie Portman looks hot in that photo.

Weird casting. NP is beautiful, but unbelievable in anything since her debut in The Professional. In fact, she has not changed much since then. Well, she did quirky okay in Garden State. Whatever, I'd see anything with JDM...after all, I did see PS I love you.
Kash - this belongs in People Magazine, not ATL.
I have been crop dusting all over my office all day. Any thoughts.
Shut up, 11. Kash is the only one who reliably posts cogent and interesting material. Compare her almost perfect record against Elie's almost perfectly horrible record and you'll see that a People Magazine type of post is far better than yet another lard covered donut dump from fatboy.
3 agree with Kramer not having the NYC power firm decor but Skadden??? They have tiny offices and dorm furniture.
Clearly they should use:
Cleary for offices,
STB for the lobby and conference rooms,
Cravath for the shot of the building (who wouldn't appreciate a Starwars reference), and
WLRK men and DPW women for extras
Kash to EIC. The plumbing line is classic.
This post just highlights the fact that you all dropped the ball on posting about Kramer Levin's plumbing issues.
H8as.
Skadden's offices look like they were taken directly from the pages of a K Mart newspaper insert.
When I interviewed at Hughes Hubbard several years ago, I thought they had classy office space. But I guess they're too busy doing bailout work to let a movie film there.
WLRK's office is fairly unimpressive. It's spread over a number of floors, and, individually, none of them are that nice. Worse, they don't seem to have a commons area like Kramer Levin for featuring in the movie.
I would have picked STB's office building on Lexington. They have some very nice floors, including a reception area that overlooks the city. The entrance is also very photogenic, with a huge STB logo in gold.
Hella jealous of Kramer Levin associates who get to rub elbows with Natalie Portman.
13 - I'll take CLS Discrimination blogs over We're filiming in NY blogs anyday.

FIRST to say, I'm hella jealous of the Kramer Levin associates working in close proximity to Natalie Portman.
DL's office space. That's where Michael Clayton was filmed.
*goes to a resume workshop, ask myself what's the point anymore?*

Mystal wishes penises were made out of pudding pops so he could justify being gay.
I once dated Natalie Portman. Dumped her for a 1L at Brooklyn Law with better fixtures.

STB's lobby and Weil's views of the park would work much better.
Skadden's offices aren't that bad. Cravath's offices are overrated however.
Man up 1L - no man cries tenderly.
Had a meeting over at Kirkland & Ellis's 50th floor conference center. It overlooks Central Park. It beats anything at our Skadden offices, hands down!
29: i've lost all hope. i'm considering dropping out...

TX bar results are out!
SkatttenDC offices overlook an alley teeming with the fecal matter of the homeless.
What about Skadden Dallas?
So a chance with Natalie Portman... I guess what I signed up for is worth it.

Ummm excuse me, "Spoiler Alert"?
Thanks.
12 - I have some thoughts. What is your spreading strategy? Do you re-visit your crop-dusting spots on a daily basis, or do you give them some time to settle in between the dustings? Also, do you prefer the moving crop dust, or the stop and go?
Mr. Tortorella needs to learn the difference between plural ("walk ons") and possessive ("walk on's"), especially when used in firm-wide emails.
Rumor has it a production company is replicating VLG’s Silicon Valley offices to film a real life drama about a Gunderson Detmer lawyer who "strayed," got herself caught up in all sorts of criminal activity-- money laundering, narcotics trafficking, fraud, extortion, bribing judicial officials-- fun stuff like that. The sex scenes will be filmed in the "executive conference facilities of the Ritz." No word whether her criminal defense attorney, Miles Ehrlich, a former ASUA who "poached" the attorney as a client from the DOJ then resigned to form his own law practice, will make a cameo appearance. Should be good!

Nervous T10 1L - Then its only up from here isn't it?

Elie Mystal to Dr. Zaius.
Guys at my high school used to have plumbing issues all the time. Their girlfriends thought it was a pretty big deal.
Fart Stud
Plumbing issues? I presume that the summer associates upper-decked all the toilets.
God, do I love the upper-deck.
What in the world is that sucking sound I hear? It's deafening.
Is it gay to suck on one's own dick if no one is looking?
Is "Fart Stud" a new meme that I've missed? Or just hasty typing?
guys at my high school used to crop dust all the time, it was no big deal.
nervous 1L, shut up already. you are annoying. maybe if you spent more time looking for jobs as oppossed to posting on here you would find something.
Shart Stud is Mystal's alias.

48 - guys at my high school used to make fun of losers like you all the time, it was no big deal. Except for you, who cried yourself to sleep every night.

Is this a sign of things to come? Thelen's NY office was featured in the Disney movie Enchanted. Hope Kramer Levin has better movie luck than Thelen.
