Everyone says it’s disappointing. They’re right. If I was 10 it might be fun. But really, most of LA is a hole. Hollywood is a hole. Grauman’s Chinese Theatre is nothing special, the Kodak Theatre reminds me of that Mall in Surfers where the Landowne Road is. Again. nothing special.
I’m staying off Sunset Boulevard in amongst the hustlers and the hookers. The ten minutes that I waited in Denny’s to get my dinner 'to go' was hilarious. Hooker sneaks past me to use the bathroom while the lady at the counter is distracted, Hooker smiles because she knows she’s not entitled to use the patron only rest room. Young bloke brings homeless guy in with homeless guy leaning on young guy's shoulders and shuffling behind him, like a sad conga line. They don’t appear to know each other. Young guy drops homeless guy off at the front seat where he remains belly-aching until he sees a well-dressed friend dining in Denny’s who he curses at for apparently thinking he was dead or gone or both. Well dressed guy takes over from the young guy and shuffles homeless guy into the bathroom the same way he entered Denny’s. Well-dressed guy emerges from bathroom, homeless guy does not. Much swearing and cursing emanates from the bathroom. My dinner arrives and the show’s over.
PS. Took a tour of Paramount Pictures today – it was great. No rides, no gimmicks, just a golf cart and real working studio and information. Saw Chevvy Chase as he’s filming a new sitcom called Community about a down and out Community College.
