The Cabazon Dinosaurs from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”
‘ On our way out to visit my parents in Palm Springs two weekends ago, the Grim Cheaper and I made a little stalking stop at the Cabazon Dinosaurs – the two legendary roadside sculptures located just outside of Palm Springs which were featured in the 1985 movie Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, among countless other productions.…

Moving Day!
‘ Unfortunately, as I mentioned would most likely be the case yesterday, because I helped my parents move all weekend I do not have a new blog to post for today. I was really hoping to return home from my Cabo honeymoon with a few days to relax and regroup after the chaos that is…

Disney’s Grand Central Air Terminal
‘ I am one of the few people lamenting the upcoming opening of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Though renderings certainly look cool (it is Disney, after all!), I fear the massive crowds the new 14-acre land is expected to draw are going to ruin the park. The Happiest Place on Earth is crowded enough! …

The CalEdison from “The Morning Show”
‘ L.A. never ceases to amaze! Case in point – the CalEdison. Built in 1931, the Art Deco masterpiece is not only a sight to behold, but its grand lobby is open to the public! Somehow though, I never knew about the place until last week when I was researching locations from The Morning Show.…

Spencer and Heidi’s Apartment – the Holy Grail of Filming Locations!
‘ I don’”‘”‘t know what’”‘”‘s sadder – that it took me as long as it did to locate Speidi’”‘”‘s apartment building or the fact that I was so completely consumed with finding it in the first place! I keep asking myself – Why am I so fixated on these two idiots? I have no logical…

The Houses from the Movie “Big”
‘ Right around the corner from The King of Queens house, which I blogged about on Friday, are the two main houses used in the 1988 Tom Hanks movie Big. And when I say “right around the corner”, I literally mean RIGHT around the corner. The King of Queens house and the Big houses are…

The Old Towne Orange Starbucks from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ “We met at Starbucks. Not at the same Starbucks, but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other.” So says Meg Swan (Parker Posey) about meeting her husband, Hamilton (Michael Hitchcock), in the 2000 comedy Best in Show. (You can watch the hilarious scene here.) Meg might well have…

Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa from “House, M.D.”
‘ The third and final location that I stalked while vacationing in Lake Arrowhead this past Thanksgiving with my family and the Grim Cheaper was the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa, which was featured prominently in the Season 6 episode of House, M.D. titled “Known Unknowns”. The property, which was originally named the Arlington Lodge,…

Holden’s House from “The Good Girl”
‘ Another Simi Valley location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, suggested I stalk this past Saturday after my and the Grim Cheaper’s American Jewish University Brandeis-Barden Campus snafu (which you can read about here) was the supposed Texas-area home where Holden Worther (Jake Gyllenhaal) lived in my favorite movie of all-time, The Good Girl. Ha, just…
