The “Big” School
‘ Located just around the corner from the two main houses used in the movie Big is Cliffside Park Elementary School #6 – the elementary school attended by Josh Baskin (aka Tom Hanks) and his best friend Billy (aka Jared Rushton) in the 1988 flick. So, since we were already in the area, Owen, my fiancé,…

The Bradbury Building
‘ While serving on jury duty a few years back, I had the opportunity to visit one of the most incredible buildings I’”‘”‘ve ever seen in my life. Since jurors are oftentimes given incredibly long lunches (sometimes lasting over two and a half hours!!), the jury orientation paperwork includes a list of some “Things To Do” in…

I Am Just So That Into It!
‘ On Friday night, literally the second my boyfriend got off work, I dragged him right out to see new movie He’”‘”‘s Just Not That Into You. He said afterwards that if he had known it was a two-hour-and-nine-minute-long-movie, he never would have agreed to see it. LOL Needless to say, he just wasn’”‘”‘t that…

Ali’s Trailer Park from “Burlesque”
‘ While the Grim Cheaper and I were stalking in Downtown Piru this past Saturday, the super-nice owner of Poncho’s Place, the restaurant from True Blood that I blogged about on Tuesday, clued me into the fact that the supposed rural, Iowa-area trailer park where Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) lived in the beginning of Burlesque…

The Never Been Kissed High School
‘ Yesterday, I dragged my mom out to a location I have been meaning to stalk for years now – the school that stood in for South Glen High School in the 1999 romantic comedy Never Been Kissed. In actuality, though, the school where filming took place wasn’”‘”‘t a high school at all, but a huge middle school…

Casbah Cafe – The Coffee Shop from “A Lot Like Love”
‘ After finding Amanda Peet’”‘”‘s apartment from A Lot Like Love, I just had to stalk the other locations featured in the movie. Much of the movie was filmed in Sunset Junction, a small community in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles. When Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher first reconnect, on New Year’”‘”‘s Eve, they…

The Nightmare on Elm Street Houses
‘ While all of my friends and family are, for the most part, very supportive of my stalking endeavors, I still quite often get asked the question, “Do people really care about this stuff?” and “Can you explain your website to me, because I just don’”‘”‘t get it.” LOL One of the people who “just doesn’”‘”‘t get…

Bun ‘N Burger Restaurant from “An American Summer”
‘ I must apologize in advance for today’s fairly short blog post as I just got back from spending pretty much the entire day (over seven hours – not kidding!) on the set of CSI: Miami yet again. And while I promise to write a detailed post about my experiences there in the very near…

Pawn Shop to the Stars
‘ Another day, another pawn shop to write about. 🙂 Ironically, just around the corner from the now defunct Beverly Hills, 90210 pawn shop that I blogged about yesterday, is yet another local pawn shop that also has a filming history. Who knew that pawn shops were such popular filming locations?? 🙂 Angelo’”‘”‘s Jewelry and…

Hollywood Center Motel
‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to ask me if I knew that my latest Hollywood crush, Simon Baker, had one of his earliest acting roles in the 1997 movie L.A. Confidential. And I almost fell out of my chair! Even though I’”‘”‘ve seen that movie about a hundred times, I never realized…
