If...Oh yeah, forgot...I loved The Fantastic Mr Fox. If you know of any action figure merchandising associated with this...on a film topic perhaps I was less enamoured with Avatar than a lot of others. It seems to me that all the special 3D technology applied to it cannot conceal a very 2D script and acting, however it is heartening to see that, in, what?, two hundred or so years from now, basic smoking technology, as demonstrated by Ms Sigourney Weaver, will not have changed...We watched Julie and Julia on our BluRay plaz, tee hee, and found Ms Meryl Streep to be spot on as Julia Child. But, well, I'm no great fan of Nora Ephron's screen treatments. The abysmal Bewitched comes to mind. Why, Cindy, why? Why did they go and screw that up? Similarly no other film fan was as disappointed with the Lost in Space movie as I was. Not that Ms Ephron had anything to do with THAT disaster of some 12 years back or whatever. Still, it hurts.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099252860970772570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462748.post-12904203730398437462010-02-20T07:05:57.168-08:002010-02-20T07:05:57.168-08:00The Oinkster, wow. It reminds me of a place called...The Oinkster, wow. It reminds me of a place called The Hat..went there in '94. It was in Pasadena, I not know if it's still in biz. That flight museum makes me want to get over to LA NOW...<br /><br />I read on someone's blog somewhere that the Warner Hollywood Studios, ie The Goldwyn Studios, lately known as The Lot (It's hard to keep up with the regime changes at places like this) have had plans afoot to demolish certain Pickford/Chaplin era buildings and replace them with glass boxes. I read also that there is an organization called the Hollywood Heritage Society (?) that keeps a watchful eye out for such things, but, is easily got around. Do you know anything of this Cindy?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099252860970772570noreply@blogger.com
