I was driving past Universal this afternoon and noticed that concrete barriers had been placed around the buildings near the street, and a crew of men were putting up iron fencing.
Universal has always been one of the easiest lots to sneak onto. There's a guard booth, but there are no big walls like they have around Warners and Disney, and no giant fence like they have around Paramount. A lot of the front lot offices where they do the graphics work is right there, accessible from the street.
Universal is especially vulnerable because they actually have their theme park directly next to the actual movie studio back and front lots. (Disneyland is nowhere near the actual Disney studios -- they're about 45 minutes away from each other.) There are close to 100,000 people wandering around Universal City every day, most of whom are tourists.
I live near Universal. I think I'm getting paranoid. Between the helicopters in Hollywood, the Universal perimeter, the airplanes that fly over my house from Burbank airport, the LA passenger who almost downed a Chicago bound jet yesterday, and the repeated canceling of the Emmys, I'm ready to move to fucking Wyoming.
Anybody in Wyoming need a playwright?
