Just when you thought I'd forgotten about my favorite game, it's time again to play! Don't be shy, people. Climb into armchair filmmaker mode and tell me... if this were the setting for a scene in a film, what exactly would happen here?

Not a film this time — I'm actually thinking this would be a great setting for a fashion show!
At first glance I thought of a ship. Man the lifeboats!
Well, I have no talent for this, but I do see christoper walken dancing (and I like this photo).
If you don't believe walken can dance, check this out (start at 1:57)

I see 13 tiny women, all dressed in yellow fairy garb that makes them nearly invisible as they rappel up the face of the yellow building. Their mission: to disrupt the opening ceremony of the "Plot to kill women with insanely high heels" fashion show.
Who can top Yakpate? All I can see is a bunch of goons with spray paint defacing that lovely yellow wall with graffiti. Grrrrrr

PS Sorry , I just woke up a bit ago and I've not had coffee. Maybe later I'll see something positive going on!
Think French Connection meets Repo Man meets Casablanca.
This is the wall that hides the trash bins behind Pollo Loco. So, it has inspired the following: The name of the film is "Attack of the Killer Chickens." It's a horror film about two chickens awaiting their fate who decide they've had enough! They will not suffer the same demise as their comrades. So, Chicken #1 grabs the meat cleaver commonly used in these restaurants. While Chicken #2 distracts the excutioner with a real-life demonstration of the Chicken Dance, #1 attacks. The film ends happily with both chickens enjoying a Filet of Fish sandwich across the street at McDonalds.
I've had my coffee, Virginia.
And I just spit coffee laughing. Between the various scenarios you guys came up with and that Walken clip, what a great way to start my morning.
MOre! More!
I certainly can't top DBD's Pollo Loco Massacre, and Christopher Walken would be a welcome addition at Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association any time. Heck, we already have Bill Nye, the Science Guy!
I used to park in this lot to go to the various shops in that strip mall, but I guess the garbage bins got to me. Now I park in the front.
This scene makes me think it would be a good setting for a performance of Oedipus Rex or some other Greek tragedy. Summer stock comes to South Pas, right next to the garbage bins. I'm sure the chicken parts would come in handy as special effects!
WV: dippery (we don't make 'em up, Verginia.)
It is a set for modern dancers and acrobats. They emerge at the top of the yellow wall, then descend the wall - sometimes dangling and swinging trapeze style - casting elongated shadows onto the surface of the wall.
dbdubya Super funny stuff you got going on there.
To me it looks like something from a Frank Miller movie set in the 30's. A murder mystery all viewed from the shadows on the cinder block wall.
If I had a bedtime it would be past it. But I am reminded of being a 20 year old new bride living in the only place we could find: A converted chicken house near Van Nuys. I was spared the chicken dances but I enjoyed the tale told by dbdubya. I love stories with happy endings.
The only thing that could make the Christopher Walken clip any better would be if there was more cowbell.
I understand why you no longer use this parking lot, Mr. Earl. The trash bins behind Pollo Loco have to be the nastiest in town. Fortunately, Laurie's great photo doesn't capture the odor.
OK now that I've recovered from this stupendous photo - my gosh look at those colors, I mean LooK - I'd think it was a back to the future in the future type scene.
Hi again all,
You guys rock! I had originally thought it looked like something from a 1930s movie about the future. You know, men from mars coming out of that weird dome, all with a kind of HG Wells quality...
But murderous El Pollo Loco chickens are way more fun! (Well, in theory, anyway!)
Thanks for playing, kids.
Until tomorrow!
Confession: I was actually recounting a performance at MOCA of Elizebeth Strebs' "Streb Ringside". They did actually use a very high, very yellow wall and did dare-devil acts. Back to the chicken image - they weren't chicken about anything.
Suddenly, Spock and Kirk materialized!
I think aliens emerge, out of the blue.
Somehow I missed this one...but in keeping with the El Pollo Loco theme, it reminds me of the Wallace and Grommit movies as well as Chicken Run....
Although, to be honest, in all deferenct to you DBD, I actually agree with Hilda, Yakpate, and Shanna...maybe it's a fashion show of women with insanely high heeled shoes doing Cirque de Soleil!!!
This is really awesome pictures....take care..
Thank you..
