I remember LOVING that Paula Abdul video back in the day (before pleasures becam guilty pleasures).

Other than Dodger Stadium, that was my favorite place up until 10yo. I'd pester my dad to go there over and over.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

This might be one of the weirdest things I've ever done while drunk?

This started because I was watching Agent Carter (and drinking whiskey) last night and a scene took place at the Observatory.rass wrote:This might be one of the weirdest things I've ever done while drunk?

Re: The Griffith Observatory Thread
Pretty sure one of the vignettes from a current Cialis commercial takes place at the observatory.

Re: The Griffith Observatory Thread
Damn, I didn't know this thread existed.
I tried to get there when I was in LA in April, when my son dragged me down there to see Iron Maiden.
But it was a sunny Saturday in April. So no parking. This was as close as we could get:
Luckily we could get a lot closer at Dodger Stadium the night before:

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: The Griffith Observatory Thread
I’m reading The Disaster Artist and there are a number of James Dean references and a scene at the observatory. I guess I’ll see if it makes it into the movie.
Also, Bojack Horseman.

Re: The Griffith Observatory Thread
You watch football long enough, you can pretty much predict the local beauty shots they show going in and out of breaks.
The ones they show for Buffalo are probably the saddest of all, with the best shots being from a different country (Niagara Falls)
"beautiful, with an exotic-yet-familiar facial structure and an arresting gaze."

The guys throwing fish at the Pike Place Market are shown for every Seahawks home game.

The strip clubs here in Houston typically get in a shot or two.

Re: The Griffith Observatory Thread
Just flashed by in a show my wife has been watching, All American. No action there, just establishing that the show still takes place in LA.

My gall is sufficiently mitigated. Thank you for your concern.
Re: The Griffith Observatory Thread
Movie about a beleaguered middle-aged man who travels across the country just to finally see the Griffith Observatory only to be denied because it's been closed for the weekend for the taping of a private celebrity concert. Just have to decide if it's a comedy (like most of Vacation, with more time spent on the journey than the destination) or a thriller (like the end of Vacation, only with an audience of some of the most famous people in the world to hold hostage instead of a young John Candy).
Possible titles:
50 Going on 30
Shooting for the Stars

Re: The Griffith Observatory Thread
That's great but has to be a comedy then. Don't think Jeep wants James Corden's blood on their hands.
