    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About Paul Thomas Anderson

    ‘ Be sure to read today’s Los Angeles magazine post – about numerous locations from Paul Thomas Anderson movies.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • Angeles Abbey Memorial Park from “Alias”

    Angeles Abbey Memorial Park from “Alias”

    ‘ Today’s locale is one of my favorite Haunted Hollywood locations ever!  Way back in January 2012, fellow stalker Gilles from France sent me an email asking for some help in tracking down a mosque-like structure that stood in for a Moroccan airport in the Season 1 episode of Alias titled “A Broken Heart.”  Gilles…

  • Lester Siegel’s House from “Argo”

    Lester Siegel’s House from “Argo”

    ‘ Today’s post is the very first blog written from my new home in the desert. The Grim Cheaper and I moved last Wednesday (it took over 15 hours!) and are finally getting settled in to our Palm Springs pad. There is still quite a bit left to complete, though, and, while the hyper-organized/anal/OCD-side of…

  • The Very First Starbucks Store

    The Very First Starbucks Store

    ‘ While this probably goes without saying, the location that I was most excited about stalking while vacationing in Seattle this past May was the very first Starbucks store at Pike Place Market.  As I’ve mentioned countless times in the past – and as anyone who knows me even slightly well can attest to –…

  • The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    ‘ I am beginning to discover that The Queen Mary is a lot like the Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles in that every square inch of it has appeared onscreen in multiple notable productions.  Case in point – while scanning through Adaptation to make screen captures for my post on Zipper Concert Hall last week, I…

    The Parking Lot Where Jack McKay was Killed on “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ This past Saturday (which, as you can see above, was extremely overcast and cloudy – boo!), Mike, from MovieShotsLa, and I spent all day stalking in the Venice Beach/Marina Del Rey-area.  After stopping by the Killer Café (aka the former Edie’s Diner from Enough and Dexter), which I will be blogging about soon, Mike…

  • The “Yes, Dear” House

    The “Yes, Dear” House

    ‘ One show that I never really understood the appeal of is Yes, Dear.  My dad loved the sitcom, which ran from 2000 to 2006, and watched it regularly, but I always found the characters slightly unlikable and the storylines a bit ridiculous.  Nevertheless, when I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jeremy…

  • Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I’m not sure what it is about old school diners, but I sure have an affinity for them.  My inclination maybe stems from memories of childhood road trips or weekend mornings spent at greasy spoons with my parents during my early years or my nostalgic nature in general.  Whatever the cause, if I see…

  • More 13 Going On 30!

    More 13 Going On 30!

    ‘ I was pretty obsessed with finding Jennifer Garner‘”‘”‘s apartment from for quite some time and I finally found it earlier this year in New York!  It required A LOT of pausing and rewinding my DVD of the movie, but it turns out the apartment is right where the awning of the building said it was …

  • Burbank Town Center Mall from the Season 3 Finale of “The Mentalist”

    Burbank Town Center Mall from the Season 3 Finale of “The Mentalist”

    ‘ While watching the two-part Season 3 finale of fave show The Mentalist titled “Strawberries and Cream” a few weeks back, I just about died when I realized that the Burbank Town Center had stood in for the supposed Sacramento-area “Pinewood Shopping Mall” in the episode’s climatic final scene.  While Burbank Town Center is not…
