Unknown Mami hosts a great Sunday theme inviting YOU to get out and take pictures of your city and/or Sunday to share with the rest of blogland. Click HERE to see Unknown Mami's Sunday in her City today.
It was a busy week filled with uneventful-- or at least uninteresting things that kept me on the run. Honestly, I can't think of one thing I actually accomplished but I know I'm exhausted from all the usual chores of a "domestic goddess", I mean average housewife.
But, I didn't want to miss a Sundays In My City gathering, and since I laughed out loud when I drove up the street and saw this sign, I thought I'd share it with you....
It's the main entrance to 20th Century Fox movie and tv studio in Los Angeles. We locals simply call it Fox Studios.
This hideously large billboard-- literally the size of a two story, two car garage that hangs on a frame in front of a sound stage-- changes on a regular basis promoting their latest movie release or tv extravaganza.
When I turned on to the road facing the sign, it was a spec in the distance about a half mile away. As I got closer I realized the blue Avatar DVD sign was now gone and something big and brown was being promoted. When I got close enough to see it, I cracked up because that is one seriously big dog staring directly at on-coming traffic.
Not sure if this movie will be on my "must see" list but it looks like fun.
How's your Sunday?

ReplyDeleteHilarious poster. I know my two definitely want to see this!
ReplyDeleteIt is great to hear you laugh out loud when you see things like this. I would too. You live in such a wonderful area full of delights.
ReplyDeleteOooh, is this a new children's film? How do I not know about it? LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is one seriously huge billboard!
Happy Sunday :-)

It sure is an attention getter. Not sure if it's my kind of movie, but I'm sure kids will like it.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this one. It makes a statement on the sign!
ReplyDeleteWe`saw the ads yesterday and can't wait for the release.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute.....and SO BIG!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen a billboard that big...maybe in Times Square!
ReplyDeleteIt's cute and the trailers are too!
When I drove into Hollywood there was a gigantic sign of a racecar drivers face. I had never seen anything so big before..california sure knows how to do it up big:)
ReplyDeletenice. i am sure we will see it eventually...my boys like pet movies...
ReplyDeletesunday is starting slow, and i gotta work, so i better hurry it up...
You sure live in an interesting "neighborhood"! I don't even think I've heard of this movie. But then we are still without cable tv till the 19th! Yep, I can imagine seeing that large dog behind those Foster Grants staring at ya coming down the road!
ReplyDeleteI always loved Marmaduke when I was growing up. Dennis the Menace, Beetle Baily, and the Born Loser were a few others.
ReplyDeleteGreat Danes don't usually have a long life, did you know that? They're prone to one of those sad mysterious doggie diseases, poor things.
It was nice to hear from you. Had you guessed where I'm going? If you guessed St. Martin, you were right. My MIL is very ill (that's one reason why I've been away), so the family is going to the island with her to spend some nice quality time together. We'll be in a Villa on the french side, overlooking Baie Longue. I'm excited about the trip, lots of swimming & hiking, I hope.
I hope you have a nice summer Joanna. xo d
The cars in the picture look like the drivers may all be looking at the billboard instead of each other. I hope they weren't on a collision course. Looks like it will be a cute movie.
ReplyDeleteI loooove Owen Wilson. I definitely want to see that movie.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to take the girls to that one! We adore movies,... reward for good behavior for like 2 weeks,...
ReplyDeleteHAppy Sunday!
There's a cat over the dog's head.
ReplyDeleteThat's the best part of being close to Burbank...the billboards. I can see just how huge they look driving by.
ReplyDeleteI love this taste of Hollywood! I had no idea they were making that movie (not really my scene, either), but I feel like you're probably more "in the know" of such things being so close to the source!
ReplyDeleteOnce again I was looking for Joanna Jenkins but couldn't find you...You're under your blog name. I hope to remember it next time.
ReplyDeleteThey sure know how to get attention...that's the way to do it if they're trying to get their money back...
Cute picture!
Happy SIMC from Casa,
have a great week ahead!

Go see Beethoven and you're probably good. I imagine the Avatar billboard was a big overwhelming. Rather laugh at a giant dog. ;)
ReplyDeletehmm, sunday in my community would have featured photos of rain. since it rained all weekend. sigh.

ReplyDeleteMovies just sound better in Hollywood!

What a day brightener!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to advertise! So funny and it sounds like a great movie. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteLook at that blue sky in the background. Pretty day.
ReplyDeleteI love Marmaduke!
ReplyDeleteI imagine only my youngest will end up seeing it in the theatre, but no doubt it will be a good one to rent and laugh over together as a family.
ReplyDeleteIt's not on my list but it sure does make for an amusing billboard.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have to keep us posted on the different billboards.
ReplyDeleteHow could a dog that big, facin' the traffic not totally crack you up???
ReplyDeleteHummm, Sunday....went to church, taught my Sunday School class, did Kid's Church, went out for lunch, went to a graduation open house, broke out with shingles.....{{{SIGH}}} ....so doesn't go well with hot flashes! :o(
