On a recent outing to the movies, roving photographer, Jon Smilowitz, caught these shots with his cellphone cam.
The recent rain must have given the set desi
gners a panic. To cope, the golden statues were mummified in Saran Wrap. I do hope they don't walk off tonight in search of refuge in some plastic cocooned Egyptian coffin. Perhaps they will make their way to the nearby Egyptian Theater.The ghostly statues attire is reminiscent of the pop fashion clear plastic dresses of the '70's. I thin
k LA should leave them this way and make a real fashion statement.All this leaves the Oz blogger wondering: Does "Hip" really contradict a sense of humor?
I feel such camp movie potential here. Maybe a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" meets "Return of the Mummy"? Dead actress start popping up asphyxiated with plastic wrap over their contorted mouths. Enter Philip Marlow (or Abott & Costello?) to chase down the golden ghouls.
TANGENT: Check out "The Clickable Mummy" for fun with preservation!
