But this house needs to be reduced by about half of it's price. It is an incredible estate and opportunity, but suffers from FUGLY interior design syndrome, which it shouldn't and has the ability to not do so. <BR/><BR/>For the record, after seeing these interior photos, I'd rather have the Warner/Geffen house that Mama mentioned a few days back! <BR/><BR/>But really, I'd rather just buy a Lautner like the one for sale on Hedges Place and save myself about $158 million! Or cough up enough money to talk Kelly Lynch and Mitch Glazer out of their Lautner (who knows how much that thing would cost?!?)

We see a tired room straight out of The Big Valley. PATRICK DENNIS is standing in front of the book cases, his shirt uncharacteristically untucked, reading an old issue of DUDE MAGAZINE that was previously tucked inside a signed edition of East of Eden. GLORIA UPSON enters, twirls around as only she would, and exclaims<BR/> GLORIA<BR/> Why Patrick, ya big meanie... you didn't tell me you could read! You know, books can be awfully decorative. Patrick! (staring at his now obvious bulge).<BR/><BR/>CUT TO: MAME'S DISCO ROOM.<BR/>We see MAME joined by NORA MULDOON, seated at what appears to be a chrome bar in a totally mirrored room.
