From standing in George St Sydney full up with the flu, watching the movie heavyweights arrive for the Opening Party... to LA, Paris and Times Square in New York... I loved enjoying a meal at 'Planet Hollywood.' In Planet Hollywood Paris we shared the space with a hundred very drunk Scottish Football fans during the opening night celebrations of the '98 World Cup and we paid over $60 AU each for our burger meals!! It made a nice change from baguette and slices of cheese or the savoury mince crepe at the local caravan near 'The Young & Happy' hostel!!
Kitsch but interesting, overpriced but unique!!
I think the cult of celebrity is hilarious but the craft of film making is something to celebrate... and costumes, props and scripts make great pop culture artifacts!! No wonder I enjoyed the surprise of the movie costume exhibit at Fed Square in Melbourne recently!!
I understand there's a whole Casino and Resort in Vegas now with the Planet Hollywood theme, back then it was part of the marble shopping mall in a Palazzo with a sky blue cloudy sky ceiling!!
