When watching Blazing Saddles, I didn't pay much attention to the desert scenes in Rosamond until I read this section. Thanks to the clear listing of each time period and location, I understand better how the Granny Game film crew combined studio and outdoor scenes. The presentation is concise and easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun seeing the real life locations for Blazing Saddles, especially the iconic ending at Grauman's Chinese Theatre! Classic movie theater marquees were the original way to capture an audience's attention and draw a massive crowd. Today, businesses rely on dynamic digital displays to get that same show-stopping visibility. If you want to turn heads and advertise your own daily features, checking out Electronic Message Center prices is a great way to start upgrading your storefront's appeal.
