Dr. Lizardo's Journal of Cool Media: "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" Trailer & The Pussycat Theatre!

Doc here, a man who some say hosted a teen-oriented dance program back in upstate NY in the early 70's called "Cut a Rug", a fast-paced, energy-dripping, dance-xtravaganza. Teen-angst meets the coolest cats. 

Today, Sony Pictures released the first trailer for Quentin Tarantino's 9th film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". It's all kinds of fantastic, from the look to the music. However, there is once scene in this trailer that caught The Good Doctor's eye...

Go to the .44 second mark in the trailer... 

There you have the iconic Pussycat Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard in LA. Next to it is Larry Edmund's Cinema and Theater Bookshop. 

Still from the Official Trailer for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Here is a pic from 1986 of the real Pussycat Theatre and Larry Edmund's Bookshop. 

The production did an amazing redressing of the original theater and block (now called the Hologram USA Live Theater, 6656 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles), taking us back to the early 70's.

When the film debuts on July 26th, 2019, I may the only one in the theater that applauds when the camera pans by The Pussycat (at which time I will most likely be escorted from the auditorium).  It'll be worth every shekel I paid for admission. 

Thanks,

Doc
