Re-watched LA Story over the weekend

I caught 2 things I didn't notice before.

The name of the resort was "El Pollo del Mar" - The Chicken of the Sea

And I can't believe I missed it before: The super hyped restaurant which was pronounced "Lee-dee-oh"

Was spelled:

L'Idiot

I acquired my crush on Sarah Jessica Parker from that movie. I liked the scene where they're all ordering very specific lattes.

It's a great movie.

The first scene was filmed at a house on my street. It had that old school SoCal look. Still looks the same too.

I first saw that movie years before ever moving here. I saw it again a couple years ago and it was even funnier being a 5+ year resident. Hilariously accurate. Never realized how much. Great movie!

What street was that woodman? I grew in LB in Belmont Heights. Our house was one of the Chips episodes back when they mostly filmed in the LB area.

There are movies that can do that - make you think the actress is the cutest thing ever. SJP as SanDee* in LA Story is one. Natalie Portman in Garden State is another.

Ditto on Natalie in Garden State.... but I don't think ANYTHING could ever make SJP attractive in my eyes.

You spelled it wrong.

Big S, small a, small n, Big D, small e, Big E and then a star at the end.

I love that movie!

The current SJP makes your forget how cute she once was in movies like LA Story and Honeymoon in Vegas. Sad, really.
