The Emser Tile Building from “Lethal Weapon”
‘ Located just up the street from the original Barney’s Beanery restaurant in West Hollywood, which I blogged about last Friday, is the Emser Tile Building which appeared in a very memorable scene in the first Lethal Weapon movie. And even though I have never actually seen any of the four Lethal Weapon flicks (I…

The Union Theological Seminary Rotunda from “The Ice Storm”
‘ Locations have been making impressions on me for ages, long before I even knew stalking was a thing. Case in point – way back in 1997 while watching The Ice Storm, I became fixated on the ornate stone staircase Libbets Casey (Katie Holmes) walked down in an early scene. Even though I only saw…

Mary’s House from “All About Steve”
‘ If you listened to critics, you probably think All About Steve has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. You’d be wrong, though. While the 2009 comedy (and I use the term “comedy” loosely) is not remotely funny, boasts an odd storyline, and fails to properly showcase the talents of its fabulous cast, which includes Bradley Cooper,…

Pasadena Elks Lodge from “Veep”
‘ Anyone who has visited Pasadena has likely taken note of the sprawling pillared building situated on the southeast corner of Colorado and Orange Grove Boulevards.

Catherine Willows’ House from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”
‘ I’ll never forget the first time I saw CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. It was back in 2003 and my parents had come home from a random stop at the video store (remember those?) with a DVD of the series’ inaugural season in hand. I had not heard of the show at the time and…

The Andrew McNally House from “Kingdom Come”
‘ Los Angeles never ceases to surprise me. Though I feel like I know the city and its environs like the back of my hand and have spent the last decade of my life researching its locations, I am constantly learning of new spots that I had no idea even existed. Such was the case…

The New York Yacht Club from “Hannah and Her Sisters”
‘ While filming locations are, of course, my first love, I am all about discovering unique, off-the-beaten-path, non-Hollywood-related landmarks and hidden gems, as well (as evidenced here, here and here). So my interest was immediately piqued when, shortly before my 2016 trip to the Big Apple, my friend/fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is…

Shaheen’s House from "Into the Night"
‘ Last week, fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, emailed me with the following message, “I know you aren’”‘”‘t big on blogging about popular movie locations, especially those discussed elsewhere on the Internet (which is why I have SADLY never been able to read about Marty McFly’”‘”‘s house on your site!!!),…
