    The Swordfish Hostage Scene

    ‘ This past weekend, my parents, my fiance and I drove up to Ventura for a little weekend vacay.  And I was absolutely floored to discover – thanks to my new favorite stalking book – that the hostage scene gone wrong from the 2001 movie Swordfish  had been filmed in the coastal town!  But, while my stalking book stated that all…

    ‘ Michael, our resident The Brady Bunch filming locations expert, is back once again with a non-Brady locale.  (You can check out his TBB columns here, here, here and here, and his non-TBB columns here and here).  Today’s location is one from way back when, so enjoy! One summer when I was in middle school,…

    Taking a Break . . .

    ‘ Unfortunately, I have no blog to publish today.  🙁  I had to rush my dad to the emergency room bright and early yesterday morning and wound up spending the entire day and most of the night with him in the hospital.  Which normally wouldn’t have precluded me from writing a post, but for some…

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Labor Day to all of my fellow stalkers.  I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new post.  Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately, but the Grim Cheaper and I have been traveling a lot and I have…

    Honeymooning in Cabo!

    ‘ Well, as you can see by the above photograph, I did it!  I am currently a married woman!  The Grim Cheaper and I finally tied the knot – after what amounted to close to ten years of dating! – this past Saturday evening in Malibu.  Yay!  And one of the Grim Cheaper’”‘”‘s very first duties as my…

  • A Free View of Universal Studio’s “War of the Worlds” Set!

    A Free View of Universal Studio’s “War of the Worlds” Set!

    ‘ Many moons ago, shortly after we first met, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to a place that quickly became one of my very favorite “only in L.A.” spots –  a residential street from which the Universal Studios War of the Worlds plane crash set is visible.  And even though I always make it a…

    Robert Kardashian’s Former House

  • 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 “Fancy” Music Video Party House

    The “Fancy” Music Video Party House

    ‘ I have never been very “hip” when it comes to music.  If it’s not sung by Michael Jackson, Michael Buble or Britney Spears, chances are I haven’t heard it.  So it should come as no surprise that when my friends Kim and Lavonna visited this past June and were singing the Iggy Azalea hit…
