  • A Day Off

    A Day Off

    ‘ I spent all day Friday running around and, unfortunately, did not have time to write a post for today, but I will be back tomorrow with a whole new location. I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fabulous weekend! And in the meantime, check out this fabulous new blog I just discovered…

  • Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

    Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

    ‘ One of the things I most appreciate about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the lengths director Quentin Tarantino went to portray an authentic 1960s-era Los Angeles onscreen.  To that end, he featured several local historic restaurants from the time that are, thankfully, still around today, including Musso and Frank Grill, El Coyote,…

  • Jay and Gloria’s House from “Modern Family”

    Jay and Gloria’s House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ Once fellow stalker Robert, from the website Movie Locations and More, tracked down Phil and Claire’s house and Mitchell and Cameron’s duplex from the new hit series Modern Family, I set my sights on locating the modern-style abode where Jay (aka Ed O’Neill), Gloria (aka Sophia Vergara), and their son Manny (aka Rico Rodriguez)…

  • The “Sleepless in Seattle” Houseboat

    The “Sleepless in Seattle” Houseboat

    ‘ Another Seattle area location that my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry stalked for me a few weeks back was the houseboat where Sam Baldwin (aka Tom Hanks) and his son Jonah (aka Ross Malinger) lived in one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time, 1993’s Sleepless in Seattle.   I just re-watched Sleepless…

    The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Little Miss Sunshine”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, the Grim Cheaper and I sat down to re-watch fave 2006 dramedy Little Miss Sunshine and I just about fell out of my chair when I spotted the Hyatt Regency Valencia pop up in a brief scene.  I had actually stalked and blogged about the Santa Clarita-area hotel way back…

  • The Lobster Shack from “Easy A”

    The Lobster Shack from “Easy A”

    ‘ Another location from fave movie Easy A that fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, informed me of while the Grim Cheaper and I were out and about doing some stalking in the Ojai area almost two years ago was the Carrows Restaurant that masqueraded as the Lobster Shack where Woodchuck…

  • Cindy’s Restaurant from “Surviving Christmas”

    Cindy’s Restaurant from “Surviving Christmas”

    ‘ I have made no secret of the fact that I majorly ration Christmas locations from year to year.  The sad truth is that few holiday flicks are lensed in the L.A. area (the city’s constant sunshine and lack of snow doesn’t exactly scream “Noel!”), which translates to a very minimal amount of holiday locales. …

  • My Weekend with Michael Buble!

    My Weekend with Michael Buble!

    ‘ This past weekend was an absolute whirlwind – so much so that I am still trying to process the whole thing. It all started a couple of weeks back when I received a phone call from a good friend who informed me that the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, of which he is…

  • Two Boots To Go West Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    Two Boots To Go West Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ There’s nothing quite like a slice of New York pizza!  Just watching characters eat a piece on TV or in a movie is enough to make me drool.  So I, of course, had long been dying to stalk the Big Apple pizzeria that appeared in the Season 6 episode of Sex and the City…
