Hummingbird Nest Ranch from “Book Club”
‘ One of my favorite stalking stories involves the Grim Cheaper and Sex and the City: The Movie, which I saw right when it came out in late May 2008. I was gifted Amy Sohn’s book about the film for my birthday just a few days later and while it did a fabulous job of…

Marilyn Merlot
‘ I am still very much in the throws of my Marilyn Monroe obsession, and it is definitely true what they say – the more you think about something, the more you attract that thing to you. My father happened to be going through his wine collection last week and discovered a bottle of “Marilyn…

Jeff Malene’s House From Girls Just Want To Have Fun
‘ Got a call from fellow stalker Chas last week, who told me that he had finally received his Girls Just Want To Have Fun Netflix rental in the mail. Chas was calling me up to ask if I wanted any other locations from the movie found – besides SJP’”‘”‘s ubiquitous apartment building, of course. I believe my…

The Win A Date With Tad Hamilton House
‘ I am forever indebted to fellow stalker Chas who has succeeded in finding a location that has eluded me for the past few years, a location that has been at the very top of my ultimate stalking list ever since the movie it was featured in first premiered in January of 2004. The location in question? …

Hotel Angeleno from “Heat”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I travel back and forth to L.A. so often that sometimes I feel like I live in a hotel – which is not a bad thing, I ADORE hotels. One that we checked into recently that I absolutely loved was the Hotel Angeleno. Not only is the place’s architecture unique,…

“Christmas with the Kranks” Studio Locations
‘ Since I have been on such a Christmas with the Kranks kick as of late, I thought I’d finish out this year’s Yuletide posts by blogging about the movie’s studio locations. The 2004 comedy was unusual in that it utilized the backlots of not one, not two, but three different L.A.-area studios! The main…

The “Say Anything . . . ” Amphitheatre
‘ Sorry to have been MIA the past couple of days. The Grim Cheaper surprised me on Sunday morning with a two-night trip to Big Bear to play in the snow. We had an absolute blast scurrying around in the frost and even managed to get some stalking in! I will be blogging about those…

The “Mask” House
‘ While I realize that I still have quite a few posts to publish from my recent stalking trip to the Palmdale/Lancaster area (including the Four Aces and Club Ed movie sets), as well as a few filming-related posts to write from my nuptials last August (most notably the venue), I decided to dedicate today’s…

Virginia City Stalking!
‘ I am currently visiting my Grandma in the Reno area and today she took me to historic Virginia City to do some sightseeing. Anytime I am in a new town, I always stop into the local visitor’”‘”‘s center or bookstore to ask if any movies have been filmed in the area. What’”‘”‘s that old…

The “Christmas Vacation” Pool
‘ Another Christmas-themed locale that I had long wanted to track down and stalk was Clark W. Griswold’s (Chevy Chase’s) dream pool from the 1989 classic Christmas Vacation. (Is it odd, by the way, that I can still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I saw the flick…
