    Spencer and Heidi’s Wedding!

    ‘ My favorite reality TV duo, better known as Heidi and Spencer, have caused a media shitstorm yet again by announcing that they will be tying the knot – for real this time – in two short weeks right in my hometown of Pasadena.  🙂  Early in the week, I actually got a tip that Speidi would…

    The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    ‘ There is no shortage of unique architecture in Southern California.  The Bradbury Building, LADWP, and the 8500 apartment complex all immediately come to mind as highly individualistic spots.  One structure stands heads and shoulders above the rest, though, as being extra extraordinary – The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in downtown Los Angeles.  If…

    Cameron’s Seafood from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ The restaurant business is an insanely fickle one.  So when I set out to find the eatery where Diane Court (Ione Skye) lunched with her mom, Mrs. Court (Lois Chiles), and her mom’s boyfriend, Ray (Stephen Shortridge), in the 1989 flick Say Anything . . . a few years back, I never dreamed it…

    ‘ For our recent Big Apple vacation, the Grim Cheaper and I took a red eye into New York, leaving Palm Springs at 11 p.m. and landing in NYC at 6:30 a.m.  Working off zero sleep, we were obviously exhausted upon arrival (me especially considering the copious amounts of calming drugs I ingested to curtail…

    The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed location that I stalked recently was the Brass Elephant bar – the Monrovia-area watering hole that stood in for the similarly-named “Brass Monkey” bar where Sue (aka Lauren Graham) worked in my least-favorite holiday movie of all time, 2003’s Bad Santa.  Fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had tracked down the…

    The “Twins” House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, fellow stalker Owen asked for my help in locating Danny DeVito‘”‘”‘s Mediteranean style home from the 1988 comedy Twins.  Owen had already done quite a bit of stalking legwork on this one and had managed to contact one of the movie’”‘”‘s crew members who told him that the house was located on a numbered street near…
