    On Set With the “American Idol” Contestants

    ‘ This past Sunday, while doing some stalking in Downtown L.A., my fiancé and I happened upon the current American Idol contestants filming a Ford commercial on the corner of South Hope Street and Wilshire Boulevard.  And even though I have yet to watch even one episode of the series this season, I begged my…

    The Valmont Mansion from “Cruel Intentions”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of the movie Cruel Intentions (though the 1999 drama does feature one of my favorite onscreen moments).  But during my April 2016 trip to the Big Apple, my good friend/fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, took me to stalk the Upper East Side estate…

  • The “13 Going On 30” Houses

    The “13 Going On 30” Houses

    ‘ If someone asked me what movie most closely resembles my life, I would have to say 13 Going On 30. I am definitely a child of the 80s, I still dress like a 13 year old most of the time, and I’”‘”‘ve been known to do the Thriller Dance at a few parties, so it’”‘”‘s only natural…

  • Harry Bosch’s House from “Bosch”

    Harry Bosch’s House from “Bosch”

    ‘ I contemplated chronicling the best movie and television productions I discovered in 2018 as my first post of the new year.  Had I done so (and I still might later this month), Bosch would have topped the list.  As I mentioned in my recent write-up on Demitasse café, the Grim Cheaper and I started…

    The Filming Locations of “Breaking Bad”

    ‘ I am not a Breaking Bad fan.  I know, I know – I am in the minority on this one.  The Grim Cheaper and I started to watch the series, which ran on AMC from 2008 through 2013, and absolutely LOVED the first two episodes.  They were hilarious.  Then the show seemed to take…

    The Interior of the “Bruce Almighty” Party House

    ‘ In honor of my girl Jen Aniston receiving the 2,642nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today (a ceremony that I will actually not be attending because, after the debacle that was the Horrible Bosses premiere this past summer, I have a severe aversion to any event that has the potential of being…

    Rest in Peace, Michael

    ‘ I was absolutely devastated to learn yesterday of the passing of music legend Michael Jackson.  I had no idea his death would affect me in the way that it did, but I simply could not stop crying.  Due to the sad news of his death, I didn’”‘”‘t feel it would be appropriate to post a regular blog entry today. And while I do realize that…

    Hall of Justice

    ‘ In the early hours of August 5th, 1962, screen star Marilyn Monroe was found dead in the bedroom of her Brentwood home.  Later that same day, her body was brought to the Hall of Justice in downtown Los Angeles for an autopsy.  I only learned that factoid a couple of years ago and immediately…

    The Jerry Maguire House

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I gave Mike, from MovieShotsLA, the mission of locating Dorothy Boyd’”‘”‘s house from the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire.   From a quick internet search, Mike was able to ascertain that Dorothy’”‘”‘s tiny yellow house was located in an area of Manhattan Beach known as the “Tree Section”.  The home’”‘”‘s exact location, though, was…
