Standing in the footprints of Hollywood

Okay, this is the last picture post about my trip to Hollywood. Next time, I'm totally going to post about something else. Today though, I want to wrap it up with some of the foot/hand prints from outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Like the Walk of Fame, there are a few goofy ones (Donald Duck? Really?). It's still really cool though to stand in the forecourt looking at all the names.

Humphrey Bogart

Abbott and Costello

Star Wars

Chuck Heston

Sean Connery

All in all, Hollywood was kind of a neat place, and I'm glad I got to go see it. A big thank you to my friend (and frequent commenter) Kate for driving me out there and loaning me her camera after mine broke.

Monster Movie Poster Monday

Okay. Sure. Technically...NOT a monster movie, I guess. At least, not in the way one might think. No 80 ft tall beasts trampling through cities or anything, but it is the type of movie in which the monster is US! Or something. As you may have heard, Chuck died over the weekend. He was 83. I never met him, but I liked a couple of his movies.

Random conversations while watching movies...

I managed to find myself a copy of Chuck Heston's Planet of the Apes today, which I promptly watched to get the taste of the remake out of my head.

My friend swung by while I was watching it, and we got to talking about how many sequels they made.

There was

Beneath the Planet of the Apes
Return to the Planet of the apes
Revenge of the Planet of the Apes
The Planet of the Apes Strikes Back
The Planet of the Apes Menace
Attack of the Planet of the Apes
A New Planet of the Apes
Back to the Planet of the Apes
Planet of the Apes Runner
The Planet of the Apes Reloaded
Planet of the Apes Revolutions
Planet of the Apes Park
The Lost Planet of the Apes
Raiders of the Lost Planet of the Apes
Temple of the Planet of the Apes
Planet of the Apes High
Godzilla vs the Planet of the Apes
Planet of te Apes of the Dead
Army of the Planet of the Apes


There were a lot of sequels. Did I miss any?
