  • Ed and Tori’s Coffee Shop Meet-Up from “Big Little Lies”

    Ed and Tori’s Coffee Shop Meet-Up from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ If the news reports currently lighting up the internet are to be believed, the drama that took place behind the scenes of Big Little Lies’ latest season is far headier than that which unfolded onscreen!  At the center of the dustup, per a recent IndieWire exposé, is Jean-Marc Vallée, the director of the series’…

  • Stalk Me If You Can

    Stalk Me If You Can

    ‘ I have been head over heels for Leonardo DiCaprio for what feels like pretty much my whole life – since long before Titanic, and even before the Growing Pains days. Yes, I actually sat through his first flick Critters 3. I do love me some Leo! One of my fave Leo movies (besides Titanic,…

  • Judge Crawford’s House from “Fracture”

    Judge Crawford’s House from “Fracture”

    ‘ After tracking down the hilltop abode Willy Beachum (aka cutie Ryan Gosling) called home in fave movie Fracture, which I blogged about last Tuesday, I became just a wee bit obsessed with finding the large brick mansion where Judge Gardner (aka Bob Gunton) lived in the flick.  Even though the dwelling showed up only…

  • The Griffin from “NCIS”

    The Griffin from “NCIS”

    ‘ Today’s location comes with a caveat.  Last Saturday evening while in L.A. for a brief visit, I headed to The Griffin, an Atwater Village bar I had been dying to stalk ever since seeing it in an episode of NCIS almost three years ago.  The place did not disappoint and I started writing this…

    The Quality Café

    ‘ While stalking in Downtown Los Angeles a couple of weekends ago, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves hungry so I suggested grabbing some lunch at the Quality Café on West 7th Street – a diner that has appeared in countless productions over the years.  When we showed up to stalk the place, though,…

  • 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…

  • The Pilot House!

    The Pilot House!

    ‘ One filming location that has pretty much been the bane of Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and my existence for quite some time now is the home that the Walsh family lived in during the very first of episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.  Mike and I fondly, and sometimes not so fondly – LOL – refer to this location as…

  • Julian Café & Bakery from “Phantasm”

    Julian Café & Bakery from “Phantasm”

    ‘ I am not at all a fan of the 1979 movie Phantasm, though you’d never guess it judging by the amount of posts I’ve done on its locations (you can read them here, here, here, here and here).  What can I say?  Crappy film, fabulous locales!  Ever since I first saw the flick last…

  • Casbah Café from “A Lot Like Love”

    Casbah Café from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ Today’s blog is going to be a short one as I am heading out to the eye doctor in a bit to have my eyes dilated, which, second to being on an airplane, is my least favorite activity in the entire world. Speaking of flying, US Magazine recently published an article about celebrity riders…

    ‘ Be sure to check out my latest post for L.A.mag.com today, about the police station from Battle Creek and my disappointment over the series’ recent cancellation.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘
