The first season of Comedy Central's Workaholics was filmed at this location. Some of the cast members (Adam DeVine, Blake Anderson) and director Kyle Newacheck (a.k.a. Karl, a.k.a. "the human genius", a.k.a. "the guy on the t-shirt") lived at this location while filming the series. Anders said he would not live at the house "because it was gross and had rats."
In a disturbing act of life imitating art, cast member Blake Anderson fractured his back at this location after jumping off the roof onto a beer pong table.

The Ferus Gallery was a modern art gallery in Los Angeles from 1957 to 1966. At the time, Los Angeles had little in the way of modern art gallery space, and the Ferus was one of the first serious attempts to bring New York and West Coast modern art to the general public. This was the subject of the 2008 documentary The Cool School.
The Ferus Gallery was the first West Coast gallery to show a solo work for Andy Warhol. Five of his Soup Can paintings were sold for $100 a piece. The curator, Irving Blum, thought they should remain a set and purchased them for $1000. One of the prospective buyers that was extremely upset was Dennis Hopper. Today, the Soup Can paintings are worth millions and hang in the MOMA.
Although The Ferus Gallery initially opened across the street (at 736-A North La Cienega Boulevard) in 1957, it remained at this address for the duration of 1958-1966.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin rented out Susan Wojcicki's garage in Menlo Park to use as Google's workspace in September of 1998, the same month they filed for incorporation in California and hired their first employee. They outgrew the garage by February of the next year.

I think the message of Rollerball is that organized sports will eventually end in murder and chaos. The BMW Building in Munich, Germany served as the Energy Corporation's headquarters.
