My night...
Quote of the day: "This Pokemon does exist, I thought it was a myth" heard by me and Brian while were at Power Anime. It made both of us chuckle.
Then we went to Hollywood. In all of the time we've lived here, we've only gone to Hollywood once. Mainly because there's no reason to. But Best Buy has started to suck for DVDs etc and I was BORED today so we decided at the last minute it was a good time to just go check out Amoeba. Hollywood has too much traffic but what a city it is. Modern offices with these old what I can only describe as typical 50s Hollywood / California styled beautiful buildings mixed in. Then just kind of bleh whatever buildings. Then back to offices and 50s Hollywood kinds again. So cool. I love those 50s Hollywood looking buildings that have been well cared for.
Amoeba = umm the movies are upstairs and they do have a pretty good selection of new and used, but one section of the floor feels like a constant earthquake. I grabbed Brian, one of my MS things is sometimes the earth just kind of feels like that to me... He looked at me and said something like "Yeah their floor feels like an earthquake". Their employee who had to let us in the elevator confirmed it's always like that.
I got Stranger Than Fiction because I want to see it again, it's not as good as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but it's one of those few movies I can watch again -- surreal, makes me think, etc. The only other movies I can think of even close to those = Click, I Heart Huckabees, and Being John Malkovich. I really need more movies like those. Those make ya think about life / life isn't what you think it is / what if this happened to you kind of things...
Anyway... I also got Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (because I saw it was cheap and remembered Anne mentioned it was good) and then since Sweeney Todd was way too expensive for used (if I'm gonna pay $20 for a regular non special edition DVD it will be new not used), I decided to head to classics. See except for James Dean's movies I know hmm zero about classics really. I know I should watch some of them. I want to, I just never do. But by then the floor was getting to me and we really wanted to get going as it had been a long night out so I didn't get past the Film Noir section in front of the classics section, but I did grab Legends of Hollywood: Film Noir - The Dark Side of Hollywood ( a 5 disc set with 10 films). I think I have enough movies to keep me busy for awhile.
Oh yeah, I thought the Scientology building in Portland was big and found it annoying because their members there used to stalk us a lot when I went to school just doors away (no really they wouldn't leave us alone)... Man oh man. Their *cough* church or whatever in Hollywood is big er HUGE and has flashy blinking big sign outside, then we saw another building in another part of Hollywood a few blocks away that was also huge... also Scientology signs all over it. They're everywhere.
