Great movie. I've been inside teh Bradbury building, the building that the robot maker named Bradbury lived in. That building actually is called teh Bradbury building in real life, it's here in downtown LA. It looks much smaller in real life.

Here's an interesting story about that building. the guy who payed to build it hired an architect and also hired a guy whose job would just be to make the decoraitve iron stuff for the railings. The rail maker started kissing allot of ass until the money man fired the architect and had the rail maker do the entire building. Because of this the place is like a big slab on the ouside, very plain, but incredibley ornate on the inside. Even the elevator is made of decorative railing. The rail maker used the money that he made to put himself through school to learn how to properly design a building. After he came out of school he did two more buildings that were very bland and no one ever remembered. Once he learned the rules of architecture, he was bound by them and his work became limited. Well that story wasn't so much interesting as it was long and pointless.
