  • Idle Time Books from “A Few Good Men”

    Idle Time Books from “A Few Good Men”

    ‘ There’s pretty much nothing I love more than bookstores.  They run second only to Starbucks and film locations in my book (pun intended).  If I come across a good one, I can get lost amongst the stacks for hours.  So there was no way I was leaving Washington D.C. without checking out Idle Time…

  • Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    ‘ During last year’s Haunted Hollywood postings, I blogged about the Mills View House in Monrovia, which was featured in both the Season 1 Halloween-themed episode of Picket Fences titled “Remembering Rosemary” and the 1986 horror flick House.  Well, as luck would have it, since that time I have been lucky enough to meet Sabin…

  • My Guide to L.A. – Restaurants

    My Guide to L.A. – Restaurants

    ‘ I need to preface this post by stating that I am not in any way, shape or form a foodie.  I enjoy good, fresh fare, but my meal preferences consist mainly of old fashioned comfort foods (you’ll notice many mentions of different fried chicken entrées in the list below).  If a restaurant has bone…

  • The Zeta House from House Bunny

    The Zeta House from House Bunny

    ‘ Last week, thanks to fellow stalker Owen, I was able to stalk the Zeta House from the 2008 movie House Bunny.   Owen actually found this location without ever even having seen the film, which takes some pretty major stalking skills, I tell you!!!!   He happened to notice the house while watching a House Bunny  preview and, because of its unique…

  • Mary’s House from “All About Steve”

    Mary’s House from “All About Steve”

    ‘ If you listened to critics, you probably think All About Steve has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.  You’d be wrong, though.  While the 2009 comedy (and I use the term “comedy” loosely) is not remotely funny, boasts an odd storyline, and fails to properly showcase the talents of its fabulous cast, which includes Bradley Cooper,…

  • The Sony Pictures Studio Tour

    The Sony Pictures Studio Tour

    ‘ Last month Mike, from MovieShotsLA, his fiance Jen, and I decided to go on another studio stalking adventure. This time we opted for the Sony Pictures Studio Tour in Culver City. The studio lot that is now owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment (parent company to both Columbia and TriStar Pictures) was originally built in…

  • Ron Levin’s Former Home

    Ron Levin’s Former Home

    ‘ As a Los Angeles aficionado who has long been obsessed with true crime, it is rather shocking that I had no knowledge of the infamous Billionaire Boys Club murders of 1984.  Sure, I’d heard of the 1987 The Billionaire Boys Club miniseries, but figuring it a tale of financial woe, dismissed it as not…

  • Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

    Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

    ‘ Today’s locale is another one of those facepalm spots.  For ages, I had been trying to track down the interior of the diner where Mitch (Owen Wilson) and the boys discussed saving their fraternity in the 2003 comedy Old School.  While I had long known that Montrose Bakery & Café (which, sadly, Yelp is…

  • Bow Bridge from “Glee”

    Bow Bridge from “Glee”

    ‘ I have a thing for Central Park bridges.  One of my favorite places in all of New York City – in all of the world, actually – is Gapstow Bridge.  I’ve stalked it countless times, blogged about it, and honestly just cannot get enough of its bucolic beauty.  Though I have walked pretty much…

  • Angela Bennett’s House from “The Net”

    Angela Bennett’s House from “The Net”

    ‘ Two weekends ago, while Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I were driving around looking for a parking place in Venice Beach (NEVER an easy task!), we passed by the dwelling pictured above and he announced, “That’s the house where Sandra Bullock lived in The Net.”  Well, as you can imagine, I was absolutely bowled over…
