Self-guided tour through Los Angeles.

Have you noticed that our household is universally obsessed with movies, television, commercials and all things film related? Then you can imagine how our self-guided tour through LA went last week, right?

me: "Oooh, this was filmed HERE."
Jamie: "Oh man, that was filmed THERE."
both: "Coooool..."

What's the deal with the line @ Pink's??
Mulholland Drive, Nip/Tuck, and Jackass filmed here.
Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Soloist, 24, Alvin+Chipmunks, and Ironman filmed here.
Beverly Hills City Hall.
90210, BH Cop 1-2-3, Chihuahua...all filmed here.
Picked up an application for marriage license in this building.
Woah. Woah. WOAH.
Los Angeles Superior Court.
Paris received her probation terms here in '07.
Destiny Hope Cyrus officially became MILEY Ray Cyrus here in '08.
Perez Hilton sued the Black Eyed Peas here in June '09.
And they just approved the Michael Jackson movie here a couple weeks ago.

Aaaand (500) Days of Summer.

thx for the tip on the bradbury building. so cool! love that the architect (figure we're related since he's wyman and i'm lyman) was told by his dead brother - in a dream - to design it.
