    Madeline’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that absolutely grips me.  Granted, I watch – and get hooked on – a lot of series, but among them are certain standouts.  The Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and Beverly Hills, 90210 come to mind, though my obsession with the latter was admittedly next-level.  My latest…

    "Goose, You Big Stud . . . "

    ‘ No self-respecting stalker can take a trip to San Diego without visiting Kansas City Barbecue, which is more commonly known as the “Top Gun Bar”. Kansas City Barbeque was actually featured twice in the 1986 Tom Cruise flick. It first shows up in the scene where Goose and Maverick serenade Kelly McGillis and Meg…

  • The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    ‘ Besides a great coffee shop, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than an unpretentious bar/restaurant that boasts a retro vibe (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, and here).  Add in a filming location element and I am completely smitten!  One that had been on my To-Stalk List for what seemed like eons…

  • Cole’s House from “The Sixth Sense”

    Cole’s House from “The Sixth Sense”

    ‘ Locations stick with me.  They just do.  Obviously.  One that stuck with me above the realm of normalcy, though, is the handsome brick townhouse where Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) lived in The Sixth Sense. Even though I’ve only actually seen the 1999 thriller once, the image of Bruce Willis as child psychologist Malcolm…

    Chuck E. Cheese’s from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ I have been on the hunt for the Chuck E. Cheese’s featured in fave movie Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead for what seems like ages.  Despite having an inside connection – my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, is married to none other than Kenny Crandell, aka Keith Coogan, himself…

  • Lanie’s House(s) from “Truth Be Told”

    Lanie’s House(s) from “Truth Be Told”

    ‘ I am pretty darn good at recognizing actors in the various roles they play (I am a stalker, after all!), but I watched the new Apple TV+ series Truth Be Told almost the entire way through before realizing that Lanie Buhrman and her estranged twin, Josie, were both portrayed by Lizzy Caplan, aka Mean…

  • Moody’s Bar and Grille from “Jerry Maguire”

    Moody’s Bar and Grille from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Oh, how this stalker loves herself a dark, wood-paneled bar!  There is just something so warm and inviting about them, which is probably why they are featured regularly onscreen.  One that I was quite fixated on tracking down for years was the supposed Tempe, Arizona-area “Crocodile,” where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) got stood up…

  • The “13 Going On 30” Thriller Dance Location

    The “13 Going On 30” Thriller Dance Location

    ‘ In , the former Bank of America building was the location of the “Girls Night Out” party, during which Jenna’s boss, Richard (aka Andy Serkis) complains that the guests are leaving far too early and if someone doesn’t do something to liven up the joint – and quick – then the entire magazine might…

  • The Bar from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Video

    The Bar from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Video

    ‘ UPDATE: While I originally thought that the video’”‘”‘s pool hall scenes were also shot at this location, that is not the case.  The pool segments were actually shot at the Brunswick Billiard Academy, which was formerly located in the basement of the San Fernando Building at 400 South Main Street in downtown Los Angeles. …

  • Happy Labor Day!

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I would like to wish a happy Labor Day to all of my fellow stalkers.  I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new location! ‘
