Where Was Wargames Filmed Where was wargames filmed Continue So I realize I'm like one of maybe ten holdouts left in the world, but I still have an AOL account. I know, I know - 1995 called, it wants its email address back. I think I'm finally ready to give up, though, because the search function right. Up. Sucks. Previously it was great - I could enter a keyword I knew had been written in a particular correspondence, and up would pop the exact email I was looking for. I used to use it regularly when I wrote my posts. I can't always remember the exact process behind each site search (how I came to start looking for a place, how I found out a specific detail, etc.), so in the past I would look back through old emails sent to various sources (like Mike, from MovieShotsLA, or Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog) to update my memory. And AOL always came through! That's no longer the case. When he woke up last Sunday, Grim Cheaper announced that he wanted to go to Big Bear Lake for a few days to play in the snow. So we literally tossed some items of clothes in a bag and went straight up the mountain. It was such a last-minute trip that I didn't even remember bringing my good camera - or my stalking notebook. It wasn't until we checked into our hotel that I remembered wargames had been filmed in the area. Early last year, Owen and I tracked down the cabin where Falken (John Wood) lived in the 1983 film, but unfortunately I didn't have my notes available to check the address. Countless emails had gone back and forth between us during our search, so I immediately logged into AOL and started looking for these messages. I've never found one! In hour two of the fruitless hunt, I was ready to throw Gc's laptop right out the window. Luckily, Owen had his notes handy and texted me the place so I could pursue the place while I was in town. Big thanks to you, buddy, for saving the day! The falcon's cabin was only featured briefly towards the end of WarGames, in the scene where teenage hacker David (Matthew Broderick) and his friend Jennifer (Ally Sheedy) met the reclusive scientist to ask for help in stopping a dangerous computer simulation that David unwittingly started. I got the itch to track down the cabin last March while writing my Top 10 Totally Awesome 80s Movie Locations in Los Angeles article for Discover L.A., where I wrote about the Hancock Park residence that stood in for David's home in the film. In WarGames, Falken is said to live on an island in Oregon, but it has long been common knowledge among stalkers that the scenes involving his three-ve th lived house were lensed at Big Bear Lake, a mountain town located about a hundred miles east of LA. Beyond that, though, information about the national was quite small. I decided to do some digging and stumbled across this 2005 message board where a commentator named jb4lcm stated that the cottage could be found in the Pleasure Point neighborhood. So I started searching the area via aerial photos and eventually came across a place that I was 99% sure was the right place. At further scouring, I dug up this image titled WarGames Cabin Big Bear, as well as this one, this one and this one, which showed different angles of the home. When I compared them to aerial photos, I was 100% sure I had found the right place. However, when I switched to Google Street View, the pictures of this area showed an empty blank — and my stomach sank. Could it be that the WarGames cabin was torn down? Oh, say it's not like that! I started digging further and found a message board from 2009 where the commentator Around the Lake stated that he had heard that there were plans to demolish the home, which had originally been built in 1924, to make way for a new, massive 17,000-square-foot residence. As you can see in aerial photos below, there is a large house located next to the WarGames cottage. According to Zillow, the home was built in 2009 and has 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and 5,107 square feet of living space. Not quite 17,000 square feet, but I think that's the place that Around the Lake was referring to. The timing of the downsyement strikes me as strange. Per Historic Aerials, the WarGames cabin was not demolished until 2010, after the property was completed in 2009. Nevertheless, according to eppraisal.com, the cottage and its land were last sold in April 2007, well before the larger house was built. The two dwellings also do not appear to be on the same plot, so why the cabin had to be razed is unclear. My best guess is that the owners of the 2009 property bought two adjacent plots and originally planned to keep the cottage intact, but when the construction on the new house was finished, it was decided that the cottage sat too close to it, so they eventually tore it down. But it's just wild speculation on my part. The 2009 house is pictured below. You can also check out some interior photos of it on Zillow. The accommodation is no doubt pretty, but if you ask me, I would take the WarGames cabin over it at any time. That property was simply the typical mountain lodge. As Owen said to me recently: It was like something out of central casting. It's a shame it's gone. According to eppraisal.com, when it stood, the WarGames cottage had 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,992 square feet of living space and a 1.63-acre plot. Today, all that remains is a three-dotted expanse of terrain. Oh, how I wish I could have seen it personally! The WarGames cottage also has a large garage located next to the road, which is still visible on Google Street View if you switch back to the photos from November 2007. See photos of the same place circa April 2014 is pictured below. And here's a matching photo that I took off the same area last week. Again, what a shame! Unfortunately, the Google Street View photos from November 2007 do not provide very good views of the cabin itself. According to wargames DVD commentary with director John Badham and screenwriters Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes, no filming took place inside the Big Bear cabin. The interior of Falken's home was a set built at M-G-M Studios (now Sony Pictures Studios) - one that used props and set pieces from the TV series Little House on the Prairie. UPDATE - Fellow stalker David, of The Location Scout website, recently alerted me to several other movies in which falken cabin made an appearance. In the 1998 comedy The Opposite of Sex, it masqueraded as the Canadian cabin where Dede Truitt (Christina Ricci) hid with Matt Mateo (Ivan Sergei) and Jason Bock (Johnny Galecki). I think the real interior of the cottage was also used in The Opposite of Sex, but it's just a guess, so don't quote me on it. In the 1999 film Rites of Passage, it portrayed the cabin belonging to the Farraday family. Excuse the craptastic screen grabs, but I couldn't find the movie available for streaming anywhere online and had to record from a preview on YouTube. The cabin was also featured prominently in the film American Weapon, which according to this Big Bear Grizzly article was filmed in 2009, but, for whatever reason, was not released until 2014. Now after seeing all the filming that took place in the home, I'm even more shocked that it was torn down! If nothing else, the property was a large income property, and it is surprising that the owners would not have left it standing for that reason alone. As I said above, what a shame! For more stalking fun, follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Los Angeles magazine and Discover Los Angeles. Big thanks to my friend Owen, from The When Write Is Wrong blog, for not only helping me find this place, but for coming to my rescue by texting me the address while I was in Big Bear! And a big thank you to fellow stalker David, of The Location Scout website, for informing me of the home's many other appearances on screen. Next time, Happy Stalking! Stalk It: The Falcon's cottage from WarGames was previously located at 39224 Waterview Drive in Big Bear Lake, just southwest of the home at 39248 Waterview Drive. It has since been torn down and the area is currently vacant land.

Rio Conchos was in many ways a reworking of 1961’s The Comancheros (FSMCD Vol. 2, No. 6, music by Elmer Bernstein), but it lacked the buoyant presence of John Wayne and told a far darker and more nihilistic tale of social outcasts thrown together on a mission to find a hidden community of Apache gun-runners. It was the dawn of a new breed of grittier, more psychologically hon- est westerns, and Jerry Goldsmith was the perfect composer to provide these arid and violent tales with a new musical voice. Goldsmith had already scored several westerns before Rio Conchos, including the acclaimed contemporary west- ern Lonely Are the Brave. But Rio Conchos saw Goldsmith marshal- ing his skills at writing complex yet melodically vibrant action music, with several early highlights of his musical output contained by Jerry Goldsmith within. The composer’s title music is characteristically spare and One-Time Pressing of 3,000 Copies folksy, belying the savage intensity of what is to follow, yet his main theme effortlessly forms the backbone for the score’s violent set- pieces and provides often soothing commentary on the decency and nobility buried beneath the flinty surfaces of the film’s reluc- tant heroes.

  • Media with a Minor in Theatre, and Went to Art Center College of Design for Her MFA in Directing
    你好 從台灣來的 LOGLINE HELLO FROM TAIWAN is a poetic drama about a Taiwanese American family who struggles to reunite across language and cultural barriers, set in the late 1980s and told from a child’s perspective. SHORT SYNOPSIS After a year of separation, a young Taiwanese American girl and her mom struggle to reconnect with her dad and two older sisters across familial and cultural divides. LONG SYNOPSIS A 1989 earthquake shakes the world of Christy, a Taiwanese American 5-year-old girl. When her and her mom reunite with her father and two older sisters at the airport after a year of separation, the cracks between them grow even wider. Through Christy’s eyes, we explore the struggles of the family attempting to reconnect. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I grew up as the youngest of 3 sisters in San Jose, CA. My parents, recent immigrants from Taiwan, had separated when I was a toddler, and my dad decided to return to Taiwan, taking my older sisters with him. After about a year or so, he came back, dropped off my sisters with my mom, and flew back to Taiwan. One of my most vivid memories as a child was re-meeting my sisters at the airport. I knew they were my sisters, but at 4 years old, I was confused why we had been separated in the first place. There was a shift in culture between us, a rift. The significance of the transformation my family went through hit me only recently. Writing this script was a way for me to look back in reflection of the sacrifices and hardships we faced yet overcame.
