In our experience, Angelina Jolie is pretty much on everyone's if-I-meet-this-person-in-real-life-I-have-a-free-pass-to-hit-it list, and is even the most popular person we've heard women say they'd "cross over" for. As in, "I'm not gay, but if I had the chance I'd be all over Angelina."
Where are we going with this? The Chicago Film Office has provided information about a ton of streets being closed because Angelina Jolie's new movie Wanted is in town, and we're trying to figure out if we should hope she'll be here and start stalking, or if we'll just be annoyed by finding alternate routes. We're thinking the stalking will win over!
Street closures related to the movie will take affect on Monday and are mostly around The Loop and River North. The closures will last a few days, but most of the filming will be done in the evening and prior to 6 a.m. A list of scheduled closures is after the jump.

Is Angelina So Hot We Don't Care About Street Closures?
Um. Yep!
Yes.
But, wouldn't it be weird if you walked outside and it was raining, and you just saw Angelina standing on the sidewalk like that?
I read a post like this and think "All is right with the world."
Call me uninformed, but what's "ITC"?
And yeah, the answer is yes. I'd totally cross over for her.
ITC stands for intermittent traffic control.
Bekki: Can I watch?
She's a big-lipped, man-stealer. I find her totally disgusting.
Ugh. You're right. I'm totally jealous.
Sigh.
Ah, my Friday food buffet is back. Thanks, Rachelle!
Kevin, if I ever get the opportunity to make out with Angelina Jolie, you can watch. Every one can watch and someone better video tape it.
You would only make out with her??
B-O-R-I-N-G!!!
The face that launched a million street closures.
I am not into ladies that are balding. She is average or below in looks.
