    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “The End of the World”

    ‘ Not much changes with the women of Monterey in the third episode of Big Little Lies’ second season, “The End of the World.”  Renata Klein (Laura Dern) is still on a tear, Bonnie Carlson (Zoë Kravitz) continues to “mope-a-dope” around, and Mary Louise Wright (Meryl Streep) just refuses to let anything go.  And I’ve…

  • The Closer Duplex

    The Closer Duplex

    ‘ As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of TNT’”‘”‘s crime series The Closer.  As is my whole family, actually.  So, a few weeks ago when my mom challenged me to locate Brenda and Fritz’”‘”‘s duplex apartment building from the series, I accepted the challenge!  🙂  And it didn’”‘”‘t take me long to find it at…

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow stalkers.  I hope everyone has a hearty, safe and blessed holiday.  Like last year, I will be cooking tonight’s meal with my mom and am really looking forward to the endeavor, as well as the festivities of the rest of…

    The Venice Beach Cotel – aka SanDeE*’s Apartment from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ One location that I have been dying to track down ever since first moving to Southern California in 2000 was the apartment building where SanDeE* (my girl Sarah Jessica Parker) lived in the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story. (And yes, that is the correct spelling of her name – as she says in the…

  • The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed location that I stalked recently was the Brass Elephant bar – the Monrovia-area watering hole that stood in for the similarly-named “Brass Monkey” bar where Sue (aka Lauren Graham) worked in my least-favorite holiday movie of all time, 2003’s Bad Santa.  Fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had tracked down the…

  • 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…

    The 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition at FIDM

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about the Buckland Auction House from Charmed, this past weekend I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition which is currently on display at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Museum & Galleries in Downtown Los Angeles…

  • The “Larry Crowne” Cul-de-sac

    The “Larry Crowne” Cul-de-sac

    ‘ The last Larry Crowne location that I stalked recently – and there will be more coming, believe me, because Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has found quite a few others –  is the cul-de-sac where Larry Crowne (aka Tom Hanks) and his garage-sale-hosting neighbors, Lamar Johnson (aka Cedric the Entertainer) and wife B’Ella Johnson (aka Taraji…

  • Hilton Pasadena from “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training”

    Hilton Pasadena from “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training”

    ‘ I always love it when a filming location sneaks up on me.  This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I headed to Pasadena to attend the closing party for my favorite store, Lula Mae.  (Yes, you read that right – Lula Mae, my happy place, is, sadly, shuttering later this month.  While I am…

  • The Millennium Biltmore Hotel from “A Star Is Born”

    The Millennium Biltmore Hotel from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ It’s not everyday you’ll find photos of a public restroom on my site.  It’s not everyday you’ll find me stalking one either.  But a couple of years ago, the Grim Cheaper and I were granted an extensive private tour of the Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles that included a visit to the hotel’s Regency Room…
