The Movie Zone (TMZ) ...
TMZ stands for "Thirty Mile Zone", a bit of early Hollywood legislation that allowed the studios to screw cast and crew out of travel and accommodation expenses by shooting within that distance from the studio's city production lots.
It encompass the vast majority of hill and desert locations you see used in almost all Hollywood productions.
Think the M.A.S.H locations, or the Gorn fight in TOS Trek's "Arena".
Off topic - my phone auto corrects "something" to "somethng" and it pisses me off. Glad to see I'm not the only one![]()
At some point you let the misspelling go through and now that's how auto-incorrect thinks you want it!
