SF Bills Fan Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 My buddy works there and they are moving to the Presidio soon, so this was my last chance. Got a real insiders tour and I even saw George himself. This has to be the coolest place to work. Saw tons of cool artifacts from the movies, al lthe lightsabres etc. The state of the art production facilties and the screening rooms, sound stages (the Stones made one of their albums there) etc. There is even a vineyard that Francis Coppola uses for his wines. This place was amazing. Having seen the movie again just last Thursday, it was a cool follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to steal your thunder, but I just got back from Neverland Ranch, and I have to tell you, it's even more glorious in person. I'm not sure which was cooler; all the free porn or the vodka-flavored lollipops he handed out when we got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that might be one of the few things I didn't see- a bar of any sort, though I would guess there is one. He has an inn there for the actors and other directors that come up to work on the movies. They need their jesus juice and this place is pretty isolated. there were places to eat all over and good grub too. Pools, gyms, hoops court.

Monster movie screen, bigass light valve projector...quite the set up. But I suspect that's what one would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than regular theatres. Your friends must be big time techies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive understatements in both counts:D They are the best in the business, and were putting in HiDef and digital cinema long before most of the world knew they existed. Glad you had a chance to see it. It really is impressive stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 MJ was black? 358832[/snapback] It's kinda funny. At my last job, the office manager would make a run for coffee in the afternoon, and I'd order a regular coffee with cream. She'd ask "How light do you like your coffee?" and I'd tell her "Think of Michael Jackson. 'Thriller' is too dark and 'Off the Wall' is too light.

He has no idea what he's doing. Why won't he let someone write those screenplays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
