I'm amazed there's not a long queue of skinny masochistic old guys wearing very thin material shorts outside, as it's got to be cheaper than a hiring a hooker in Vegas, and you get the group humiliation thing thrown in. I see there's a Vegan option, but I think it was cigarettes!! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I recognised the church used in the closing scene of Cool Hand Luke, but it's been used in countless other films and TV series. Had a look around the sound stage they use for Big Bang Theory, which is set to become their longest running sitcom. They had a whole building full of Batman vehicles from all the films.

It's a fascinating place for sure, I was there in the middle of June and it was swelteringly hot, 112F and with the LA smog it was unpleasant, I fled to San Diego on The San Franciscan early the next morning, caught the train at Union station about 6am.

I think we can all get a bit anal about cutting bits out, if it was a litter bin in the background I could understand but the post is just part of the natural background to me.
