Gabriella works in the DVD department of Amoeba Music Hollywood - located in the
mezzanine area of the cavernous Sunset Blvd building that stretches one full block. She's been at Amoeba for almost three years now and was recruited by fellow Amoebite Chris Carmena. She works on the registers twice a week and three days in the DVD department's movies, which is her passion, she says. In total twenty Amoebites (a lot!) work in the extensive Hollywood Amoeba Music DVD section where there is a truly amazing selection of DVDs - in every genre you can think of, found in both new and used, and at damned good prices.
AMOEBLOG: What are three of the most popular DVDs with Amoeba shoppers in the last week or so?
GABRIELLA: “Cocaine Cowboys”, “An Inconvenient truth”, and with the recent Paul McCartney in-store performance, we’ve had a lot of Beatles music DVD’s selling out.
AMOEBLOG: Who shops in Amoeba Hollywood's DVD section? And does the fact that the store is right in Hollywood - home of the movies - make a difference?
GABRIELLA: We have the most diverse clientele- from celebrities to tour buses full of Japanese visitors. We attract all types of people because we satisfy every taste!

The Discovery channel has recently been showing the nature documentary
Some nature "Attenborough" purists are very upset about this change. I think Sigourney's voice is perfect and she does a great job. This series is absolutely amazing. The shots captured will seriously take your breath away. The show is also broadcast for High Definition. In addition, the DVD will be issued as a Blu-Ray and HD DVD. It is seriously making me consider get a High Definition TV and DVD player. But even for those of us that still have the basic set up, the show is worth investing in.
These shows were the kind of shows broadcast on PBS in the 80s. My dad watched these
shows quite frequently and I was often forced to watch them as well. Although, I quickly became interested in the shows as I realized how awesome they were. This was a world you could not quite see at your local zoo. It was amazing to see these environments that I would never see up close and personal. The earth we live on is so vast and interesting. The animals on it so intricately connected. But most of all, what made me obsessed with these shows, was the narration by the great David Attenborough. There is something about his voice that draws you in to the world he is describing. He often was actually there in the shots interacting with the environment and animals. In this recent series, there is no interaction. It is simply beautiful shots on land and in water with perfect narration.
