I had a plan to re-watch the first episode of Buffy season 4 whilst going to UCLA in an attempt to see if I couldn't spot places they used for the episode.

Which, you know, I didn't ever get around to doing because I was so busy but now I'm re-watching it (I'm using that term loosely--I may fast forward through the episode because I've already seen it so many times and I just want to see the parts of UCLA they've used).

So far I've spotted the main area of UCLA, a corner of Ackerman Union, Bruin walk (I think that's what it was called), the long walk up to Powell Library, the interior of Powell Library (which looks even more amazing in person), and the exterior of Royce Hall (which was right across from Powell Library).  I'm amused that the large bear statue was hidden from view by a construction screen (otherwise it would have been seen).  Which, IDK, maybe that was the point: to hide it?

I just find it amusing to just watch it and be all like, 'Hey, I walked those steps before!  I've walked in the library before!' (Had to anyway, because the class had been held on the third floor of the library).

So, yeah, I'm amused XD

the only thing UCI has going for it is that the exteriror of the library was used in the film Poltergeist in a quick, single shot, and in this one Planet of the Apes film all these apes ran around the social science area.
