Scene from Battleship, Vintage Car and Cute Women

Dateline: Wednesday 27 October, 2010. Place: Selma Avenue and El Centro Avenue. Scene: From the forthcoming CBS feature: Battleship. This scene, involves a car crashing with a dump truck. What many of you don't know about movies is that each scene, no matter how short, can take hours to set up and then, if everything isn't perfect, it must be done all over again until it is perfect. As your Hollywood Rounder always wants to show you all that is vibrate, beautiful and fun in Hollywood California, he strayed up to this film set. But, even he cannot wait around for hours to get the "just right" shot. So, without more fanfare folks:

This car is going to be seen in a HBO film. Someone I spoke with said it's a film about a silent movie. At least that's what I was told, but I'm starting to think, someone is pulling my leg. It's a prop car. It has a seat belt, so it may have an engine, too.

Above is a painter and I will show you the results of her craft, soon. Two days later, the wooden boards are being plastered and I'm hoping that Friday or Saturday will be some acting.

Nice Shoes!

Still life. Girl feeding parking meter on Larchmont Blvd.


Still life. Girl with coffee cup. This candid shot was the best I could do. The subject was very uncooperative at both smiling, and keeping her eyes open.

Human sized photograph on Hollywood Boulevard

This is actually my photograph of a photograph that is life size. It was on the sidewalk at the Highland Mall on Hollywood Blvd. just west of Highland Avenue. It is an advertisement for the HBO (Home Box Office, pay-cable) show named: Big Love. To my mind, it looks more like a picture of a busy sidewalk in New York City, but I'm guessing.

Vampire Rights Amendment by the American Vampire League and the Fellowship of the Sun

While on my way somewhere (I've forgotten exactly where), I came across a strange set of posters on the wall of the (now) Sound Factory. The pictures of the two vampires are from Ivar Avenue at Selma Ave in Hollywood. The Tru-Blood advertising is from Beverly Boulevard, about 3 blocks east of Fairfax Avenue.

July 25, 2008 -- While on my way to Hollywood, at the same intersection (Selma and Ivar Avenues), I saw new posters plastered over the old posters. It seems there is a counter-Vampire Rights Amendment group, calling itself the Fellowship of the Sun





By late August, I found some more True Blood posters at a mom & pop market along Melrose at the corner of Melrose Avenue and N. Manhattan Place (north-east corner). As this is a Latin mercadito, it was unusual to see the free advert. there.
