Shame Rick doesn't seem to be updating anymore. Was looking forward to some H5OII stories.

No doubt, he's far too busy to blog. I think the blog was filling in his free time. Maybe we'll get something in the off-season.

Hi Styles,

Not sure what is going on with Romer.When HFO began, Romer had the single credit,then later it was shared with Brenda Meyers-Ballard. Now in last nights episode it was someone else.

Hmmm. That's interesting. Hope Rick didn't get bumped by some younger blood.

Rick posted an update!

He was fired! But he bounced back pretty quickly this time by the looks of things - good to hear!

Thanks for the heads up Steveadl.

Ah, thanks for the "heads up" steveadl!

Sorry to hear he was let go, glad to see that he found another project: Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked! Not a bad gig! Alvin and the Gang never get old.

That's got to be such a tough business to be in, having to constantly find new productions for work on. Rick is extremely resourceful. He's a survivor.

Another update from Rick. Interesting post and some great screen grabs of Higgins' Bridge on the River Kwai.

Looks like the Old Pali Rd estate still hasn't had any takers.

Good news for our old pal and favorite MPI set decorator Rick.He's back in the game and back at the old studio.

Ooh, The River sounds really good! Awesome Rick!

It's been a while since I checked up on Rick through his blog. However, I just popped over and discovered that he's quit the business and moved onto something else. Seems he's a bit jaded and a bit frustrated by the way the business has changed. Here's his last blog entry from a year ago. http://magnumdecorator.blogspot.ch/2012 ... chive.html

Yea, I'd like to hear his opinion of the current state of affairs of film making in Hawaii today.

Same here, he doesn't go into any detail but seems jaded by it. I'd like to know what has changed for the worse.

He writes, "The reality is that the TV and film business has changed. Let's just say they aren't changes that agree with me so changing professions is actually not that traumatic."

Is there a way to contact him to ask him what he did not like?

Worst he can say is "no comment" to why he became disenchanted with the film industry.

I don't know if anyone here saw this interview with Rick going back to 2002. What a house!

Makes my past Summer's basement remodel look mowing the lawn compared to his project. Wonder if he ever finished. I had been meaning to ask if you were going to try and contact Mr. Romer before your trip but am thinking if you were doing some research on him you are on top of it..............

Romer update.
