Description

This grandiose Hollywood cemetery is the final resting place of many of Tinsel Town's early stars -- and, at its spectacularly old-fashioned Masonic Lodge, host to the occasional indie rock show or poetry reading. On warm summer nights, the lawn at Hollywood Forever is a wonderful place to catch an old movie and sip wine under the stars. Plan ahead: Parking can be difficult for movie nights, and the lines can be long.

    Maybe if something bad happens the media reports it. Seems we can't get positive coverage at these mostly Latino events. It was absolutely amazing today! Families camp out and sit together as if they were in their living room (no pun intended) near their altars honoring their deceased loved ones. Walking around alone... I marveled at the wall to wall crowd and peace generated by our attendance. I'm thinging 100,000 people? It was an ocean of humanity, beautiful tributes to loved ones, great food, orderly lines and awesome concerts and dancers at four stages. Celebrating the inevitable is becoming a fun yearly experience. Happy Dia de los Muertos! There are more events advertised online this week. I especially enjoyed Tracy Manzanares altar. She spent time building altars in the past and now, at age 39, lost her life to cancer in May of this year. Lots of people were moved by her space there. RIP Tracy...your life was an admireable one. God...help us to deal with inevitable death. We cannot avoid the inevitable so celebrate it... why not.

    The Cinespia film screenings at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, otherwise known as "I see movies with dead people," started in 2002 with a handful of hardcore film buffs and has evolved into a several-thousand-people weekly summer pilgrimage. On Saturday and Sunday evenings through mid-September, people traipse across the cemetery lawn toting picnic baskets, pillows and low folding chairs. Classic midcentury films and cult favorites are projected onto the white-marble wall of Rudolph Valentino's tomb. His Girl Friday, Rebel Without a Cause, Ace in the Hole, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Touch of Evil ... nothing is more spookily romantic than watching these films outside on a warm summer night, sitting on a blanket, sipping from a plastic cup of wine, a cute girl snuggled next to you, with dead people underfoot. Not just any old dead people but the crème de la crème of Hollywood dead. The fact that the actors, writers, directors and crew members who made these films are interred at this cemetery is cool and creepy at the same time. Was Alfred Hitchcock's spirit looking in from the beyond at those gathered for this season's recent, packed screening of his masterpiece Rear Window? Or is old Hitch just a rotting pile of dust buried in a nearby plot, literally silent as the grave? Who's to say? One can only hope for a zombie cameo.—Gendy Alimurung

    Great place for a picnic. Watch out for the geese though. They can get pretty aggressive.
