    Stalking the WB!

    ‘ This past Monday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I took a little stalking field strip to both Warner Brothers Studios and the Paramount Lot. I’”‘”‘ll get to the Paramount tour tomorrow, but today it’”‘”‘s all about the WB. What can I say – the Warner Brothers tour was awesome! It is nothing at all like…

  • Whirlwind Weekend

    Whirlwind Weekend

    ‘ I spent this past weekend in San Francisco celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday.  The family threw her a surprise party and to say she was bowled over would be an understatement.  We had an absolute blast and I can’t think of a better way to have spent my Valentine’s.  For the evening, one of…

  • The “Three’s Company” Apartment Building

    The “Three’s Company” Apartment Building

    ‘ This past Tuesday afternoon, while I was in the hospital awaiting my dad’s surgery, I received an email from fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, and I just about jumped out of my chair with excitement. The opening sentences of his email stated, “I’m actually trembling a bit as I…

  • The Alley from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    The Alley from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    ‘ Last week, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, stumbled upon an article about Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” music video written by a journalist named Sylvie Simmons who was actually on the set with the pop star during the legendary filming.  The article, which was published in a 1983 issue of “Creem Magazine”, begins with the following sentences,…

  • The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    ‘ There is no shortage of unique architecture in Southern California.  The Bradbury Building, LADWP, and the 8500 apartment complex all immediately come to mind as highly individualistic spots.  One structure stands heads and shoulders above the rest, though, as being extra extraordinary – The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in downtown Los Angeles.  If…

  • Speidi’s Wedding

    Speidi’s Wedding

    ‘ Well, it finally happened!   Yesterday was the big day!  The reality TV event of the season!  What I’”‘”‘m sure was for some fans the wedding of the century!   I, of course, am talking about the nuptials of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag that took place yesterday at around 5 p.m. in Pasadena.  And, I, of…

  • The “Shadow of a Doubt” Remake House

    The “Shadow of a Doubt” Remake House

    ‘ Let’s be honest – remakes are rarely, if ever, good.  Especially if they’re of the made-for-television movie variety.  Despite that fact, when I heard that the house from the 1991 made-for-television remake of Shadow of a Doubt was located right across the street from the pad featured in the 1943 original, I just had…

  • Diane’s House from “Parks and Recreation”

    Diane’s House from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Back in mid-November, a fellow stalker named Vinnie tweeted me to ask if I knew the location of the house belonging to Diane Lewis (whom I had no idea was played by Lucy Lawless, by the way!) – aka the spot where Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) fixed a pothole – in the Season 5…

  • “The Exorcist” House and Stairs

    “The Exorcist” House and Stairs

    ‘ I’ve ventured down a deep, dark rabbit hole today, friends.  I should back up and explain from the beginning.  Last night, the Grim Cheaper and I watched The Exorcist for the first time.  I had come across images of the stately brick house and adjacent towering staircase featured in the iconic 1973 horror flick…

  • Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”

    Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”

    ‘ One location that I attempted to stalk far more times than I actually care to admit is the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area Municipal Stadium where Sam Coulson (aka Michael Vartan) kissed Josie Geller (aka Drew Barrymore) for the very first time during the final scene of fave movie Never Been Kissed.  Fellow stalker Owen had…
