Even if you've never seen one in real life, you have probably seen it roll down the streets as Jeff Goldblum/Julianne Moore hid inside the gas station in "Jurassic Park II". Apparently these giant rotating orange balls are being destroyed to make way for some flat signs (yuck!). Check out the effort led by actor Michael Madsen (brother of Virginia)....

    I was going to say that he obviously needs a job. But after reading him shoot his mouth off about the state of hollywood (even if it's true) He might end up needing to take a construction job knocking down those balls!:D

    Hint to Michael, you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you!

    Maybe they can replace them with big blue balls.

    As long as Tarantino is still making movies, Michael Madsen won't ever have trouble getting work.
