Which, while pretty good, wasn't as good as the reputation which preceded it...
And...
"Anatomy of a Murder"

Thank You For Making the Typo That Landed You Here.

I'll know more later but they did warn that when word comes the word might be: "Can you leave tomorrow?"
(The La Brea Tar Pits is next door)
There's also the new Rock 'n Roll museum (I think officially it's the Grammy Museum) downtown: http://www.grammymuseum.org/(FYI, Downtown Los Angeles is a pretty happening place these days, but you REALLY GOTTA not be repulsed by Hipsters...)
As far as the Show Business goes, right now most shows have only just started back up after their hiatuses (i.e. "summer vacation" May-June) so there's not really any "behind the scenes something" going on except writers sitting around big tables in the "Writers' Room" thinking stuff up ("What if...? Nah, forget it.") while waiting for lunch to come and pretending to take "important" calls so they can get the hell out of that goddamn Writers' Room.
And if you hang out on Robertson Blvd. long enough (the hip northern end, not the grungy southern end, where we live) you might see pools of paparazzi, which means Paris Hilton is having lunch at the Ivy, Lindsay Lohan is stealing something at Kitson, or Khloe Kardashian is having the Frankenstein bolts removed from her neck or something.
There's also the Seventh Veil on Sunset Blvd. (just west of La Brea Ave) where all the up-and-coming rock stars' girlfriends are strippers. Your (13-year-old cousin) may enjoy that. (18+ / Fake I.D. required)
But I have a feeling he'll love the Tim Burton exhibit.
There's a chance this might be the Greatest Movie Ever Made. I'll keep you posted.
