Where the hell are the dates?
Those we have gathered so far are on page 2. If your city's dates and locations are not listed, I suggest you send emails to the tourism office. They will most likely know.
Ableedingcoarpse, most people just like to see movie props for real, because well, first, in some ways, they feel like a bond of some sort between their favourite movie/actor and them is created when they see them. Thinking "Hey I'm staring at a gun Harrison Ford had in his hands for Blade Runner" is kinda cool in its own way. Seeing a vehicle from a movie is comparable.
I got to see a whole lot of Star Wars costumes and props 3 years ago, and it felt really cool to stare at those things who are used by a lot of cool characters on screen. I'm thinking Jango Fett's armor or Darth Vader's helmet for instance.
Plus, when they're on display like that, you can also get a kick out of seeing how the thing was actually built. You can see it under every angle, see it this part looks fake, this other one looks real, why did they choose to do it that way, how did they make that detail look real, etc... It's very cool to see the amount of work that has gone into those things.
Those things are pieces of art, in the literal meaning. They were crafted for the purpose of serving art, through a movie. It's always cool to see art, but I understand if other people just don't really care at all. I for one am really into movie-making, so I really get a kick out of it.
