    The Landmark Screening of “The Way”

    ‘ Last Wednesday evening, shortly before a ginormous wind storm took hold of Los Angeles, celebrity aficionado Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, and fellow stalker CB, of the Mike the Fanboy website, invited me to be their plus-one at a screening of the new movie The Way, which was to be followed by…

    Dexter and Rita’s House from “Dexter”

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged my fiancé out to Long Beach – or as Snoop Dogg calls it “The LBC” – to do some stalking.  My original plan was to book a room at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa – the spot currently standing in for the Beverly Hills Beach Club…

  • The Searching For Bobby Fischer Chess Park

    The Searching For Bobby Fischer Chess Park

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for years now is the park where child prodigy Josh Waitzkin (aka Max Pomeranc) and Vinnie (aka Laurence Fishburne) played chess in the 1993 movie Searching for Bobby Fischer.  I actually thought I had found this location in Central Park during my very first trip…

  • Krotona Apartments

    Krotona Apartments

    ‘ I have always maintained that I am an equal opportunity stalker.  It is not just filming locations that enthrall me, but pop culture landmarks, historical sites, and architectural curiosities.  In fact, the curiouser the better.  So when I came across a grouping of grandiose Moorish-style structures dotted throughout a small section of the Hollywood…

  • Star Stalking – East Coast Style

    Star Stalking – East Coast Style

    ‘ Well, here I am back on the West Coast – wishing I was still in New York! 🙁 I had a fabulous time in Manhattan and did a ton of stalking! I am exhausted tonight, so I will have to save my longer NYC posts for later. But I wanted to say that I…

  • The Casa Walsh Garage – A Distant Memory

    The Casa Walsh Garage – A Distant Memory

    ‘ Like Mike, from MovieShotsLA said yesterday, it’s officially the end of an era.  While the two of us were out doing some Pasadena area stalking on Sunday, we made our regular pilgrimage to the Walsh House from Beverly Hills, 90210 and saw a very sad sight, indeed.  In fact, Mike was so out of…

  • The “You” Party House

    The “You” Party House

    ‘ The second season of You certainly did a stunning job of showcasing Los Angeles.  From the fabulously chic Anavrin grocery store to the striking Victorian rented by Candace Stone (Ambyr Childers), the city has never looked better onscreen!  One spot that majorly intrigued me was the pad where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) attempted to…

  • 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…

  • Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”

    Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”

    ‘ Back to the Future fans are undoubtedly looking at the photo above thinking, ‘That’s not Lorraine Baines’ (Lea Thompson) house!’  But the Craftsman I am standing in front of, located at 1705 Bushnell Avenue in South Pasadena, did actually serve as her 1955 pad in the movie.  Before the die hards get all up…

  • Happy Fourth of July!

    Happy Fourth of July!

    ‘ I will be taking the next couple of days off from blogging in order to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with the Grim Cheaper and Mike, from MovieShotsLA, who is in town for a  visit.  (Yay!)  I know, I know – I just got back from a two-week vacation!  But such is life.…
