FIRST: Museum Visit.
About 5 years ago, with my media class I had visited the Museum Of The Moving Image. I don't remember it that well; I just remember the traffic on the way back (it took almost two hours for what should be a half hour drive). 3 days ago I ventured back to that same museum, driving in from Long Island. I gave the guy at the desk my 7 bucks, and walked down the narrow hallway, up the stairs, and through a relatively small door. As soon as I passed through that door I remembered why I couldn't remember the museum that well: it's tiny. With only two floors (each with a respectably sized room), it doesn't take up too much space. Walking through, I gazed at all the make-up and costumes. This surely jogged some memories, because I remember being just as freaked out if not more when I saw (probably) the creepiest Gumby costume of all time. Seriously, that thing will give me nightmares. Some other things that freaked me out is the "cocoon" from the movie Cocoon. It didn't look very realistic or anything, just ridicously weird. It really is amazing how they get things to look so different on camera. All the makeup to the left of the cocoon was also pretty cool to see. Other than that, I think it would have probably been better to see everything if I was on a tour. Whatevz, everything was interesting enough.
