Café Figaro from “Jerry Maguire”
‘ Today’s post is a long time in the making. Off and on for years now I have been trying to track down the restaurant where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) got fired in the 1996 romcom of the same name. I decided to actively revisit the search a couple of weeks ago and, this time,…

Henry’s House from “Selfie”
‘ I was saddened to learn recently that both Selfie and A to Z – two of my favorite new shows of the fall season – had been cancelled. If How to Get Away with Murder winds up on the chopping block next, the networks will be receiving a very strongly worded letter from me! …

Happy (Belated) Mother’s Day!
‘ I apologize for being M.I.A. most of last week. My grandma came to town for a five-day visit and, despite the fact that she is 88 years old (!!!), we spent most of our time out and about. I can only hope that I am as spry at that age! Anyway, I will be…

The Westlake Village Inn
‘ This past weekend, my fiancé and I decided to take a little “staycation” at a hotel named the Westlake Village Inn located about thirty miles away from where we live. I had read about the hotel while doing some cyberstalking a few weeks beforehand and because it was touted as a frequent filming location…

Village Cigars from “Just My Luck”
‘ When planning a trip, my M.O. is to pore over as many area travel guides as possible and highlight spots I think the Grim Cheaper and I might be interested in seeing. I then pass the books along to him and he reads through all the passages I have marked, giving them a yay…

"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…

Disneyland!
‘ This stalker had a pretty amazing, but exhausting weekend (which included a fabulous trip to Disneyland – as well as a special preview of Cars Land – with my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog) and I was unfortunately not able to get a blog done for today. But I will…

Shakey’s Pizza Parlor from “License to Drive”
‘ After reading my January 13th post about Mercedes’ friend’s house from fave movie License to Drive, fellow stalker Chas, of the It’s Filmed There blog, texted to let me know that he had managed to track down the Shakey’s Pizza Parlor from the 1988 flick. As fate would have it, the storefront next door…

Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”
‘ I am a very black and white person. Opinions typically come to me immediately and tend to swing towards either loving or hating something. I don’t deal much in grey. For some reason, though, I cannot decide if I like Sharp Objects. I thoroughly enjoyed the Gillian Flynn novel on which the new HBO…

Villa Primavera – The “In a Lonely Place” Apartment Building
‘ While doing research on the Double Indemnity house, which I blogged about a couple of weeks ago, I came across some information about Villa Primavera – a courtyard-style apartment building that was featured in the 1950 film noir classic In a Lonely Place. I immediately became intrigued with the West-Hollywood-area building due to an…
