amerikkka’s most wanted album cover
from ice cube posted in music by nevereatshreddedwheat
The album cover for Ice Cube's first solo record Amerikkka's Most Wanted is obviously a cut-and-paste collage, but it's a respectable one considering the album came out in 1990. I bet they didn't even have photoshop back then... crazy.
The background behind his army of men is downtown Los Angeles at the intersection of South Broadway and W Olympic Blvd facing northeast.
d & d mattress
from punch-drunk love posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
I'm not sure if this was a furniture and mattress store at the time of filming, but it currently looks like it's a 99-cent store. This was the store front for Philip Seymour Hoffman's business (D & D Mattress Man) in Punch-Drunk Love located in Pomona, California not Provo, Utah.
Here's a commercial for D & D Mattress (and here's the Furniture Guy's original).

barry’s business
from punch-drunk love posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
Barry Egan's funger (fun + plunger?) business in Punch-Drunk Love is located in a garage behind this auto body shop on Canoga Ave in LA. Although Adam Sandler is just playing a variant of the same man-child he plays in everything he's ever been in, when this came out I thought it meant he might be branching out into better movies. Ten years later it turns out he decided making good movies is too hard or something.
