Author Topic: Must See & Do in Los Angeles Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-16-2006 12:03 AM                     I will be in LA the last week of Feb. Culver city to be specific. What is on the must see or must do list? This is a buisiness trip so I won't have an abundance of free time.  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 02-16-2006 12:36 AM                     Whatever you do, don't even think about driving anywhere between 3:30pm and 7:00pm! It can take hours to drive a few miles!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 02-16-2006 12:42 AM                        Get a double double from In-N-Out . If you make it to Hollywood, see a movie at either: Grauman's Chinese, The El Capitan (yes, two direct articles are before the word "capitan"), Cineramadome or The Egyptian .  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-16-2006 04:10 AM                     Go get your picture taken in front of the grey house!  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 02-16-2006 05:13 AM                     Being in the theatre biz, you have a Holy Obligation to visit Hollywood at least once in your life. Failure to do so will result in divine punishment.  |  IP: Logged William T.

Personally if I was not on a diet and fitness regiment that looks good. However I think he should go for total misery and get the 4 x 4 from there.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-16-2006 09:17 AM                     quote: Go get your picture taken in front of the grey house!

Gotta take a drive by the Die Hard Building, also known as Fox Plaza.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-16-2006 05:03 PM                     quote: Culver City? Gotta take a drive by the Die Hard Building, also known as Fox Plaza. The Fox Plaza building is in Century City, not Culver. It's on Avenue of the Stars between Santa Monica and Pico Blvd. Sony Studios, on the other hand, is in Culver City, maybe you could wrangle a tour. Also, take a tip from someone who knows both hamburgers and Los Angeles and skip In-n-Out Burger, which is waaaaayyyyy overrated, in addition to being slow as hell. If you want a great burger, I could steer you to half a dozen places much better. In fact, if you do wind up going to Century City, drop by the Apple Pan on Pico across from the Westside Pavilion (it's the restaurant that the Johnny Rockets chain was modeled after). Ask Gordon the counterman for a Hickoryburger and a slice of banana cream pie, from which it is to yell in the streets about. If you truly want to see a movie nicely projected, check out what's playing at the Aero Theatre on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. The place was recently given a floor-to-ceiling booth-to-screen makeover and is now run on a rep basis by the American Cinematheque, and features two beautifully restored DP70s upstairs. Knock on the booth door and you may find occasional Film-Tech poster Chris Seo running the show. The question is, Jason, what would you find interesting? What kind of stuff do you like to see?  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-16-2006 05:16 PM                        When we were down for the 3D festival we took a really fun tour. There's a company that has vans (the big ones) that they have made into convertibles. The person diving has their microphone and they take you all over and show you the sites with running dialog. It was a real kick to sit in the sun and be driven all around Hollywood and see things. We really enjoyed it. Course of it rains it wouldn't be as much fun, but hey, it never rains in Hollywood  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-16-2006 05:26 PM                     quote: Mark Ogden skip In-n-Out Burger, which is waaaaayyyyy overrated Besides being slow as hell, they are just as the name states. They go in-n-there-out Apple Pan is located at Pico Blvd. one short block east of Westwood Blvd.. Great Burger Go to Hollywood, see the Chinese, El Capitan, Egyptian (they show some kind of short film on Hollywood), Cinerama Dome and the Kodak Theatre (Home of the Academy Awards show), Pantages. These are the Great palaces of Hollywood Blvd. (Hollywood Pacific Theatre is a Digital Screening Theatre)  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-16-2006 07:13 PM                     quote: Bill Gabel They go in-n-there-out All of the places thay had in SLC closed before I moved out here....
