The “Little Miss Sunshine” Motel
‘ Another Little Miss Sunshine locale that I desperately wanted to stalk was the supposed Arizona motel where the Hoover family – Olive (Abigail Breslin), Richard (Greg Kinnear), Sheryl (Toni Collette), Dwayne (Paul Dano), Grandpa Edwin (Alan Arkin), and Frank Ginsberg (Steve Carell) – stayed mid-way through their road trip from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach…

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day
‘ When initially writing out “Martin Luther King Jr.” in the above title, I made a mistake, spelling his last name “Kind” instead of “King.” Talk about an apropos typo!

So, much to the Grim Cheaper’s chagrin, I immediately hopped right out of…

Afeni Shakur’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”
‘ I am unnaturally obsessed with pretty much all things southern – southern accents (what I wouldn’t give for a slow, lilting twang!), homemade fried chicken, and large plantation-style houses, among many others. So I, of course, immediately fixated on the huge columned estate where Afeni Shakur (Sola Bamis) lived on Unsolved: The Murders of…

The Meiks’s House from “Frailty”
‘ One of my absolute, hands-down, favorite movies of all time is the 2001 thriller Frailty, which just so happens to be actor Bill Paxton’s directorial debut. And I am apparently in good company with that opinion – according to the Contact Music website, James Cameron, Sam Raimi and Stephen King are also huge fans…

Macha Theatre from “The Office”
‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, sent me a link to this article from local website Franklin Avenue which stated that in the Season 7 episode of The Office titled “Andy’s Play”, the Macha Theatre in West Hollywood stood in for the Scranton, Pennsylvania “Loose Screw Playhouse” where Andy Bernard (aka Ed Helms)…

Taking Another Two Days Off
‘ My dad had surgery yesterday to implant a permanent morphine pump in his body which will hopefully stop his chronic pain and because I was out in the desert with him, I did not have time to write a new post. So I will be taking today, as well as tomorrow, off. But I…
