  • The Swordfish Hostage Scene

    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…

  • The “WarGames” 7-Eleven

    The “WarGames” 7-Eleven

    ‘ I am not a spontaneous person by nature.  I much prefer planning things out, especially when it comes to vacations.  Typically when going on a trip, I investigate any and all filming that has been done in the area we are heading to.  As I mentioned in Monday’s post, though, our Big Bear Lake…

  • The Hungry Fox Restaurant from “The Office”

    The Hungry Fox Restaurant from “The Office”

    ‘ Another location that I stalked back in April while fellow stalker Lavonna and her daughter Melissa were in town was the Hungry Fox Restaurant, which appeared in the Season 3 episode of The Office titled “The Negotiation”.  We found this location thanks to fellow stalker “Snidely Whiplash”, who posted a comment on my site…

  • Slacking Off!

    Slacking Off!

    ‘ I’m sorry all of my fellow stalkers, but for the second time this week I do not have a new post to publish!  I am officially a slacker!  My dad was not feeling well at all yesterday so I was taking care of him and did not have time to do any blogging.  I…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About the Gamble House from “Back to the Future”

  • John Adams Middle School from “Heathers”

    John Adams Middle School from “Heathers”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper is a celebrity magnet.  Literally everywhere he goes, he runs into someone famous.  It’s maddening because 90% of these encounters occur when I am not with him.  Like the time he stopped by a Starbucks while on his way to a business meeting and saw Keanu Reeves sitting outside.  Or the…

  • Catherine Willows’ House from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

    Catherine Willows’ House from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

    ‘ I’ll never forget the first time I saw CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.  It was back in 2003 and my parents had come home from a random stop at the video store (remember those?) with a DVD of the series’ inaugural season in hand.  I had not heard of the show at the time and…

  • The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    ‘ In February (on what turned out to be an exorbitantly crowded day), the Grim Cheaper and I visited The Happiest Place on Earth with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, and her husband, Keith Coogan.   Since I had just recently watched – and fallen in love with – Saving Mr. Banks, I…

  • Leo’s Apartment Building from “Relativity”

    Leo’s Apartment Building from “Relativity”

    ‘ During my recent Relativity location-finding fest, I also managed to track down the apartment building where Leo Roth (David Conrad) lived with his quirky roommate, Doug (Adam Goldberg) – who was actually my favorite character – on the show.  I really could kick myself over this one, though, because I began searching for the…

  • Paty’s Restaurant from “Desperate Housewives”

    Paty’s Restaurant from “Desperate Housewives”

    ‘ To continue on with this week’s restaurant theme, today I thought I would write a post about an eatery that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked back in January – the historic Paty’s Restaurant in Toluca Lake, which first opened for business just a little over a half century ago in 1960.  I had…
