4th of july! happy independance day . actually it seems in L.A 4th Jukly isnt such a big deal. the party they were meant to have at the hostel seemed to flop- mayb becuase none of us are American. and they are very little actual americans in L.A.
so went to universal studios..
The studio tour was brilliant and soo interesting. it basically drove you around alot of sets from movies and t.v, showing u how things were done- despite totally ruining some movies and t.v programmes for me now, it was totaolly cool.
Examples: saw the neighborhood of Wisteria lane from desperate housewives! yeah!! the most picturesque fantastic street in the whole world..which i imagined to be a real place where i want to live...... suburbia! ....actually it is a t.v set behind the set of Jaws. the houses are tiny- especially gabbys house which looks soo huge of t.v!
RUINED MY DELUSIONS! also, you know what resides behind the Bates motel in Psycho... dun dun dun!!! home of the grinch! yes the Jim Carrey Grinch. bizarre.
A great one was the king kong boat scene- where they crash the boat into skull island (is that what its called?).. they use alot of miniture in the movies. and the boat and the island was one of them. that ship is no bigger than i am! seriuosly.
the most inpressive set we drove through in our c art was the War of the worlds plane crash scene- where it completly totals there house.. wow
i mean we were IN it. we were in the middle of the set living it- and i was just so taken back. it was the best part of the day. the plane is an actual plane that they ripped apart for the movie.. the debree is still laid out as it was in that scene. LOVE IT!
the rest of the dsay we spent in the actual park of universal. we saw Shrek 4D! Very cool. tinkerbell was actually on my face and terminator 2 contiuned storyline in 3D. Jurrasic park log flume type ride where we got soaked despite buying waterproof ponchos for $1.00.
we raided the Marvel store which was great and got spiderman tshirts! ;) and watched the waterworld show.
great day- didnt get back until 11pm. great 4th of july!
