Hey EK,
Yes, that building is what I thought you had in mind, and it does have that Gehry look and the point of my post was definitely not aimed at you but at that particular "ego stretch" of the Media City. Only after reading your response did I realize how barbed my comment came across! While sarcasm was deliberate, it definitely wasn't meant for you.
And I agree with you, both about Gehry's style and this particular building. It was ugly even before the makeover, but in a different, art-deco kind of way and in all its ugliness it was very much Disney. But apparently, it wasn't ugly enough for Eisner...
Speaking of Gehry, there is one particular quality I have to give him and even respect, and that's his boldness. Take this as an extreme example:

It definitely takes chutzpah to build something like that in a city that old! I'm just glad it's not my city, so I don't have to look at that every day...
