By the early 1900s most all of the boy telephone operators had to be replaced by girls.....the reason: Too much swearing.

Yup, that's the metal model I have, think it's the darker one at the bottom. |

I love this. Good ol' Dad. |
I have a black and gold replica of the Richfield Building in my nearby bookcase as I write this. The amount of detail that replicabuildings puts into their models is amazing. Unfortunately this model does not have the "gushing oil" feature previously mentioned. I have bought quite a few models from replicabuildings but I think their Richfield Buiding is one of their best.

Nov. 1, 2019--"Blade Runner Day"
Today is the day at the start of "Blade Runner". Don't see any acid rain, buildings in the sky, flying cars, replicants. WHAT HAPPENED? L.A. is noirish enough, but not that dystopian.

:previous: I didn't realize that, CaliNative. ...Thanks for the heads up.
It's a good day to post these Polaroids that were taken on the set. (I've had them in my file for a looong time) BLADE RUNNER POLAROIDS https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/8gGZIU.jpg Sean Young, so beautiful...so bat shit crazy. Sean's iconic retro hairstyle. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/RvK0RM.jpg A few of these people I haven't been able to place. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/nqlGnc.jpg Sean and mystery person. ..............................................Ms. Young and a startled Harrison Ford. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/HG7dZj.jpg Joanna Cassidy? ..........................................................Another iconic pose by Sean young. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/oGqHFY.jpg Rutger Hauer with Sean.........................................................................................................................Mystery person. I believe the images were taken with Sean Young's Polaroids. There are additional Polaroids at this LINK |

Jimmy Soul had this nailed way back in 1963. https://i.postimg.cc/2yFcnjRM/jimmy-soul.png Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh9ZZgDqzAg I could never figure out how he got these lyrics past the early 1960's censors. Does everyone catch the line? |

https://i.imgur.com/Xj6EsKe.jpg I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I may well be the ultimate Blade Runner geek on this forum... since the movie came out, I've seen it so many times I can't keep count. It must be well over fifty times. :blush: |

Something must have changed with YT embedding. :shrug: |
HossC's embed worked for me, as did Lwize's quote of it.
Cheers, Earl |

Is anyone else seeing empty boxes instead of videos? I see it works for Earl. |

Scott Charles, I believe you're probably right about the blonde woman in the Blade Runner Polaroids.
After comparing the pic with the other images of Sean Young; I have to agree that it does look like Sean Young in a blonde wig. I had forgotten that Zhora, Joanna Cassidy's character, was a redhead. Pris was the blonde. |
Original 35mm slide, Sept. 1958. [Extremely Dark]
Looking west on Washington Blvd. towards the old MGM gate, Culver City CA. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/JvAubT.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/uHXKmz.jpg eBay I'm curious about the small businesses along the left side of the slide. I believe we've seen these small shops only once before on NLA but I can't find the post. I lightened the slide but it's still difficult to read any of the signs on the shops. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/jwNOXX.jpg The shops were torn down years ago to make way for a studio parking lot. Here's the same view today. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/dbpRfe.jpg It wasn't nearly as lush when I worked here.... Back then the surrounding area was rather unattractive. To give you a sense of place, the parking lot is in front of the Art-Deco Thalburg Building. (the Thalburg has always been outside the boundry of the studio lot) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/UQnfRG.jpg The red arrows point to two entrances. (the famous gate with the stately columns hasn't been used in years). That's the red arrow on the right. The third gate is on Overland Avenue. This is the entrance I used. We were only allowed to park in the Thalburg lot [shown above] on free movie night. (every Wednesday) Back to the reason for this post:... Are any of you minions noirishers able to read the signs on the small shops in the 1958 slide? :whip: . |
I think the one on the left says "Ca??? Florist." And of course the Chevron Gas Station.
Cheers, Earl |
