Catching up with the new Doctor Who season (and even liking it, much to my own surprise) I found a very familiar place in the second episode! Back in 2011, John Barrowman, his sister Carole and their husbands had made a France / Spain road trip, and they also had visited City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. I already loved the place then, and do ( Read more... )

Today I have a double feature for all the "Sherlock" fans! First, have you seen that google maps now has added inside pictures to North Gower Street? You can view Sherlock's flat in 360° and also walk into the kitchen. Here's the link:

We interrupt our "Grand Budapest Hotel" location hunting and look today at castle Moritzburg which is located near Dresden. Everyone in Germany and probably whole Europe knows the German/Czech movie "Three hazelnuts for Cinderella" ("Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel", „Tri orisky pro Popelku“) which was filmed here back in the Seventies. It's a ( Read more... )

Well, everyone on my friends list (especially those that I dragged up the mountain ;) ) should know this view by now, as I keep posting about it in different seasons and with varities of fog... I've never seen it in the snow though!

Can we talk about the new LJ likes for a moment? I keep getting notifications "Someone likes your entry". Not telling me who this someone is. So, if you like my entry, feel free to hit the like button, but I can't see anything from it. Nor do I have access to any likes lists, as I still use the old LJ version and don't plan to ( Read more... )

I finally managed to watch the movie "Grand Budapest Hotel". In Summer my family and I were on vacation in Görlitz, better known as Görliwood, as Hollywood likes to film there. Other movies filmed recently there are "The Reader", "Ingloreous Basterds", "The Book Thief", "Monuments Men" and many many others ( Read more... )

I watched the first episode of "The Family" today - thank you kanarek13 for recommending this one! Very intriguing, I'll definitely watch more (and who do I see there? Rupert Graves ( Read more... )

I just watched the Flash episode from this week (02x16 "Trajectory") and recognized Cleveland Dam in the beginning scene! I was there in 2008 when we were at Gatecon Vancouver. We went to the dam as it was a filming location for Richard Dean Anderson's movie "Beyond Betrayal". I am also pretty sure it was here were Arrow had his final fight with Ra ( Read more... )

My shiny new locations tag gets an outing ;) Today I finally sat down and checked out "Galavant". Why is someone like I, who has not even an remote interest in medieval times, watching a show like this? Well, as usual, it has to do with John Barrowman. Some months ago someone said on Twitter that he would be great in that show, and he replied that ( Read more... )

So *looks around* Any Karl Urban fans among us? I only knew him as Doctor McCoy in the new Star Trek movies so far, but have started watching "Almost Human" now and love it. I also plan to get "The Loft" from the library next week. That sounds like an interesting movie ( Read more... )
