    Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ This weekend was a whirlwind that included a spectacular Valentine’s Day with the Grim Cheaper, a (VERY crowded, but fun) trip to Disneyland with Miss Pinky Lovejoy of the Thinking Pink blog and her husband, Keith Coogan,  and seeing Air Force One in person (can’”‘”‘t get more presidential than that!).  I, unfortunately, did not…

  • The Bedtime Stories School

    The Bedtime Stories School

    ‘ Last week, while searching for the Bedtime Stories  house, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to also try to find the school featured in the movie.  We started our search by looking at street views of different elementary schools in the Los Angeles area, but pretty much came up empty-handed.  So, I decided to once…

  • The Drug Store and Beauty Salon from “Beautiful Girls”

    The Drug Store and Beauty Salon from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ Another Stillwater location that I was incredibly excited about stalking was the drugstore where Gina Barrisano (aka Rosie O’Donnell) spewed a very choicely-worded rant at Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton) and Tommy “Birdman” Rowland (aka Matt Dillon) over their superficial treatment of women in fave movie Beautiful Girls.  Fellow stalker Owen had actually managed…

  • The Kirkeby Mansion from “The Beverly Hillbillies”

    The Kirkeby Mansion from “The Beverly Hillbillies”

    ‘ Hold on to your hats, my fellow stalkers, ‘cause today’s post is going to be a long one.  A few weeks ago, my mom called me up to ask about one of the answers provided in the “Ask Chris” column from the September 2012 issue of Los Angeles Magazine.  In the column, an inquiring…

  • Virginia City Stalking!

    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…

  • Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year!

    ‘ I am going to take the next few days off from blogging (yes, again), so that I can celebrate New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day (our last in Pasadena ) with the Grim Cheaper.  I did get to meet Uggie the Dog from The Artist and Water for Elephants yesterday, though, so I…

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a heartfelt Merry Christmas!  I will be taking the week off to celebrate with my family.  I hope everyone has a safe, fun and fulfilling holiday surrounded by loved ones.  I’ll see you back here in the new year! ‘

  • The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”

    The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”

    ‘ Apple TV+ is seriously setting the bar high when it comes to original content!  Every program I’ve come across on the streaming platform has been excellent.  I first got hooked on The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told and, most recently, For All Mankind, a 1960s/1970s-set series that focuses on an alternate reality in…

  • AFI’s Warner Bros. Building – aka the Hospital from “The Artist”

    AFI’s Warner Bros. Building – aka the Hospital from “The Artist”

    ‘ Another locale from The Artist that I found thanks to John Bengtson’s fabulous Silent Locations blog was the Warner Bros. Building on the American Film Institute campus in Los Feliz, which stood in for the exterior of the hospital where George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) was admitted after being injured in a fire towards the…
