    Sorry about the miscommunication. It was not clear you were referring to that single picture. Anyway, the warning still applies to that first link.

    More interesing clips. The MCS has been used multiple times as a movie backdrop. Famed director Michael Bay has used the lot for the movies Transformers and the Island.

    But none of these movies did the building more justice than Naqoyqatsi, the third of the qatsi movies. Here's a clip. The magnificent score is by Philip Glass with Yo-Yo Ma on Cello.

    Another movie in which the MCS feature is in the opening credits of the movie Four Brothers. Three minutes into the clip we see actor Mark Wahlberg driving along in Detroit He passes the MCS and various other landmarks along the way.



    Finally Son of Detroit Marshall Bruce Mathers III a.k.a. Eminem pays a visit to this maginificent structure.

    Somewhat off topic but no less interesting is the most famous part of the qatsi movies, from Koyaanisqatsi, this is Pruitt Igoe. An apartment block with an intersting past...


    And finally a link that matters!
