  • A New York State of Mind . . .

    A New York State of Mind . . .

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are heading to New York for the week and I could NOT be more excited!  Manhattan is pretty much my favorite place in the world and not only has it been almost seven years since our last visit, but we are also meeting up with some of our closest…

    Griffith Park’s Pote Field from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked way back in early June (shortly before we stalked the legendary Perino’s restaurant, which I blogged about yesterday) was Pote Field in Griffith Park, which was featured in the closing scene of one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time – 1996’s Jerry Maguire. …

    Joe’s Apartment from the Second Season of “You”

    ‘ The second season of You couldn’t have been more quintessentially L.A.!  Nowhere is that more evident than in the apartment building that served as Joe Goldberg’s (Penn Badgley) new West Coast home.  As a reader commented about the place to me last week on Facebook, “It seems like I’ve passed it 284739484 times in…

    O’Brien’s Irish Pub & Restaurant from “The Truth About Cats & Dogs”

    ‘ Last month, while spending the weekend in Santa Monica, the Grim Cheaper and I randomly grabbed dinner at Finn McCool’s Irish Pub on Main Street.  Immediately upon sitting down, I asked the bartender if anything had ever been lensed on the premises – as I am apt to do whenever I find myself dining…

    Taking a Sick Day!

    ‘ Because I am still suffering from a bad cold, I spent pretty much the entire day yesterday on the couch watching my Dawson’s Creek DVDs (I am so on Team Pacey, by the way!).  So, I unfortunately do not have a new post for today, but I promise to be back tomorrow with a…

  • The L.A. Filming Locations of “Scream 2”

    The L.A. Filming Locations of “Scream 2”

    ‘ “Hello, Sidney.”  Two simple words, spoken by a gravelly-voiced serial killer shrouded by a Father Death mask in one of Scream’s early scenes, and the face of the horror movie genre was changed forever. An empty house and a ringing telephone suddenly had a much more sinister meaning.  Scream, which will be celebrating its…

  • Greystone Mansion

    Greystone Mansion

    ‘ While most mansions in Beverly Hills are well hidden from prying eyes thanks to tall gates and large trees, there is one that is open to the public on a regular basis and it’”‘”‘s called Greystone Mansion. The 46,000 square foot mansion was commissioned in 1928 by millionaire Edward L. Doheny as a gift…

  • The Restaurant Where Brenda and Donna Ate Veal Brains on “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    The Restaurant Where Brenda and Donna Ate Veal Brains on “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for over eighteen years now is the Paris restaurant where Donna Martin (aka Tori Spelling) and Brenda Walsh (aka Shannen Doherty) ate veal brains in the Season 3 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 titled “Too Little, Too Late/Paris, 75001”.  Because almost two decades have…

  • Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”

    Another L.A. Story location that production designer Lawrence Miller talked about in “The L.A. of L.A. Story” featurette included on the 1991 comedy’s 15th Anniversary Edition DVD was the Spanish-style dwelling where wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) lived.  And even though the address of the home had been listed on the L.A. Story…
