      That’s odd. Didn’t they film the outskirts in NYC? So they would have had to have flown a few thousand miles just to do that Basement scene?
      They may as well have done it on a sound stage.

    If you drive by Sony studios going down Culver (westbound) you can usually spot the Ectomobile parked in the lot. You have to look between the gap in fence right before you hit the Overland light. I used to always see it being driven up and down Culver late at night. Got a video of it once right next to me. Pretty cool I think

Anything BTS or then and now still fascinates me even though some of them are films and tv shows I’ve actually been in. Fun facts about the Biltmore Hotel. Beverly Hills cop was also filmed there and the famous banana in the tailpipe scene was shot across the street on Olive next to Pershing square. The bar at the biltmore is also the last known place where Elizabeth was scene before she was murdered. I heard she frequented that bar a lot as it was her favorite. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

I first thought it was 1 of our cats, but I would turn over to see which 1 it was and nothing was there. this happened about 5-6 times before I mentioned it to the misses. she straight away said I have also felt that . its only when we are alone in the bed and never together.
