    You can get any kind of hat you want, as long as it's a derby that's brown. Or am I misreading the sign?

    This building used to be the entrance to Earthquake! Now it's the exit to Fast and Furious and has become an anachronism. Click the photo to go to Flickr and read the details.

    Marilyn and the Diamond Bellas give their all to entertain the troops. The troops of vacationers in Universal Studios Orlando, that is.

    The queue is probably the best part of Fast & Furious - Supercharged, which, quite frankly, isn't saying much.

    Did you know that The Seven Year Itch was first shown in theaters in 1955? It seems like something else important happened that year.

    Here's another hidden movie tribute in Universal Studios: The Empire Hotel was the home of Kim Novak's character in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. The actual hotel in San Francisco still exists and has been renamed Hotel Vertigo.

    I'm sure some of you can verify that this is a replica of the Macy's entrance on West 34th Street in New York. Some people say that miracles happen there.

    It's time for another edition of Spot the Movie Reference. I couldn't find anything for Douglas and Clark Tobacco, but the Kitty Kat Club is purportedly a reference to Cabaret's Kit Kat Klub.
