Dive into Hollywood Shop the barbecue on a given day, so you will probably run over the soundtrack to the cult aerobic 80’s film “Perfect” With John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. The intimate store has all the vibber vinyl heads longing for: boxes on boxes with vintage discs, along with some new editions mixed in the nicely organized sections.
It’s my go-to. I know I will always find something To scrape my collector itching among their abundant piles. Just the other day I was on my way to my friend’s Diane Keaton -theme birthday party (yes, you read that right) and needed to find a gift that would somehow work for it … Go into the record and, lay and see, an original copy of “removal for Mr. Goodbar” sound track.
So among the many, many Nostal Magible Stad Joypot I felt to look at “Freakier Friday,” Perhaps the greatest feeling for me came when Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan wandered into the Recrod salon in search of its owner, in the movie played by Chad Michael Murray. In real life it plays by Chadwick Hemus, who was proud to have its store (located on 6408 Selma Ave. In 90028 postcode) a lead role in the film.
The bargain is not a stranger to film and television. In its 12-year history, it has also appeared in “This is us”, “Bosch”, “The Rookie”, “Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways”, “Bel-Air” and a Tate McRae Maybelline Prromo, among other projects. However, this was by far one of the highest profiled productions to use the store. Locals in Know Love The Store, with its literal thousands of (Which means like 8 figures thousands of items. Solange even threw a private birthday party there and, according to Hemus, “her somewhat famous siblings have danced on our little stage.”
Now “Freakier Friday” is not just a nostalgia trip for Disney-love-loved children of a certain age-it’s also a warm hug for Los Angelenos, with the record chair among a variety of recognizable shooting places throughout the movie. Unfortunately not all of these January -fire fires survived, including Coleman’s house (Also used 2003’s “Freaky Friday”) – but the prominent vinyl shop is as lively as ever.
This is especially important given the struggle that the city has had to keep productions local, as lucrative tax incentives and cheaper film costs have operated large budget films to other places, in particular Atmospherea city that largely Played Los Angeles In the new “The Naked Gun.” But Jamie Lee Curtis struggled to use LA – her hometown – as a character in the film.
“The film is a love letter to Los Angeles and the original film was a love for Los Angeles. We shot in the original house and we shot all over the city of Los Angeles,” She told the deadline.
“Los Angeles is the background and spine of American film, all aspects of the industry are well rooted here, and you will not find a higher concentration of skilled and experienced talent anywhere in the country. Or the planet for that matter,” said Hemus. “We talk about experience in real life that comes from both boot stairs to low budget runs and containing and juggling the most extravagant productions. Another, very important aspect is that the larger Los Angeles area is so versatile that most of the location needs can be met within the face lines.”
In ‘Freakier Friday’, Curtis and Lohan are changed, Tess Coleman plays and daughter Anna-body with Anna’s soon-to-step daughter-Liljan (Sophia Hammons) and her daughter Daughter Harper (Julia Butters). In trying to break up Anna’s imminent marriage with Eric (Manny Jacinto), they have decided to try Woo Anna’s ex Jake (Murray) – but Jake is more interested in Tess (or Lily … it is confusing). Lohan gets a plum opportunity to showcase her slapstick chops when she physically flirts with jake on top of a table stacked with discs.
The shooting came in a fairly typical way for LA “Location Scout Poped in, shot some pictures and the rest is movie history,” said Hemus. While the scenes take up just a few minutes of screen time, Hemus said: “Filming was actually a whole week, takes lots of prep to get the movie Magic to happen. The crew had to remove and move a lot of discs, which weighs lots and had to be returned in the right order. Given the scope of the project, everything was very smooth and we are quite impressive.
Fans that are scoping out the salon should know that there is no coffee rod in the store itself, as there is in the film (they can get their caffeine fix across the street at Caffe Hub). That location on the floor is actually the checkout counter. But otherwise it looks largely on the screen as in the movies … Although the hemus on the shooting days was disappointed that it was not completely “Perfect. “
“I was so angry that a chance that I had to chat with (Curtis) coincided with the only day in the story in the store that I could not find a copy of” Perfect “, which I thought would be good to be signed,” lamented home. “All freaky fans who enjoy the cheese of the 80s should check out” perfectly. “
However, he had some recommendations for the fans, including searching for David Bowie’s song “Rebel Rebel”, performed by Tegan and Sara in “Freakier Friday.” “Not sure I would suggest the album as it is my own but -” Diamond Dogs “is a very dark disc that does not gel with the” freakier “vibe, so let’s join (The Compilation Album) ‘Changesonebowie.’ And while we are on it, add Tegan and Saras ‘So Jealy’ LP, Classic Indie edition from Aghts has a track in ‘Freaky’ so I think ‘Spenhd The Night’ would be a fun to add. Linda’s “No obligations” and I think you have a fantastic vinyl starter that leaning in that leaning in that leaning in that lean Other up to cover the pop side of things.
There are often special events and discount offers on the record stable. On the weekend of August 15-17, the store will celebrate the 12th anniversary with a special half-off sale, and on September 13, it will offer a limited 25,000-piece record collection Legendary DJ Swedish Egil. “He was a cornerstone at KROQ in their 80s heyday so the collection is full of original presses of so much of the 80s music people long for -The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie, etc,” explained Hemus.
When it comes to finding the soundtrack for “perfect”, I can attest the fact that at least from August 9 there was a copy available in store. Maybe you can swing by and sign, Jamie Lee?
