MR. MRS. SMITH

MR. & MRS. SMITH: For those of you who live near the City of Industry in California, the scenes that were filmed in the old IKEA store along Gale Avenue (the IKEA store is now located near Eastland Mall in Covina, but why the hell am I bringing this up when more than half of you who visit this journal page don’t even live in the United States? Haha) takes place at the end of the film. It’s an action scene, where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie—who is friggin' sexy with those pouty lips and yellow sunglasses she has on (see the image above right)—engage in a fierce gunfight with a group of commandos inside a furniture warehouse, called KOSTMART. Don’t know what the story to the film is (actually I do, somewhat, but I probably shouldn’t mention it since I can get in trouble for talking about the ending ‘cause I worked on two of the test screenings for this film), but it seems like it will have lots of action, as shown with the final action sequence, and with all the car chases, gunfire and explosions that I heard from out in the theater hallway before my co-workers and I entered the auditorium to prepare distributing surveys. Will I watch this movie when it comes out in theaters? Maybe. There was a set piece resembling a rock formation built on the parking lot outside of IKEA last year, and I’d like to see the action sequence (presumably a rock-climbing scene) that takes place at this locale. Anyways, that’s all for now. Late.

The old IKEA store in the City of Industry...redone as Kostmart for the film Mr. Mrs. Smith.

  1. I thought they were in the HomeMade next door......as in "fun with Dick and Jane" , Kostmart is a Costco + Wlamart hybrid.....also the elevator Mr.&Mrs. Smith took is surly had a HomeMade giftcard poster on the wall.
