Architectural
Detail – One
more Art Deco building from the thirties – Sunset and Western at the east end of Hollywood…. The
two stone men at the top, and a row of other stone folks, with the one on the right quite unhappy… Above
the door, one wonders what this fellow is thinking. Perhaps he’s worried
about the upward facing floodlight just above his head. Detail
of one of the balconies…. They seem to be making a movie here. The director with the megaphone could be Oliver Stone. His
new film is a bit controversial, with the two guys liking each other a tad too much.
See this - In Oliver Stone's three-hour drama, "Alexander," Colin Farrell, as the fourth-century Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great, has a number of tender love scenes with his
best friend, Hephaistion, played by a long-haired Jared Leto. In the film, which cost about $155 million to produce, Alexander
is also married to Roxane, played by Rosario Dawson, but the marriage takes a back seat to his passion for his boyhood friend. Yep,
that’s the movie being filmed here.
