Architecture & Trivia.
We find out in Episode 7 that Karen is an architect with sustainable development credentials.
She designs Bill's house which in truth is the much admired David Hertz-Stacy Fong, McKinley House: a husband and wife architects' own house with passive heating and cooling techniques embedded in the scheme. Both the Ray Kappe, "Benton House" and the McKinley House which is the key set are both published in the Japanese periodical, GA Houses 81 Karen's coffee table in episode 9 as she is reading by the fire Charles Bukowski's Sifting Through The Madness for the Word, The Line, The Way: New Poems (2003) is a recent book Venice, CA: Art and Architecture in a Maverick Community (2007) by Michael Webb. Somewhat self-referential as many of the icons of the title sequence and moreover the McKinley House itself is featured in the book.

Life imitates art. This guide was featured in the World's Greenest Homes' feature on the McKinley House The full version: Part 1

Part 2

Karen at work drawing inspiration from Steven Holl's Pamphlet Architecture 1-10 . In the late 1970s and early '80s, Pamphlet Architecture offered a fresh, underground-like alternative to homogenized architectural publishing. Based in New York and San Francisco, masterminded by a young Steven Holl and by bookshop innovator William Stout, the Pamphlets presented notional schemes by a then 30-something clique of intellectual practitioners, men-and one women-who retained a critical faith in certain tenets of Modernism.
To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Pamphlet Architecture, Princeton Architectural Press reissued the first ten issues—most of which have been long out of print—in one hardcover volume. This graphically stunning and theoretically stimulating collection includes the early works of many of today's best-known architects, including Steven Holl, Lars Lerup, Mark Mack, Lebbeus Woods, Zaha Hadid, Livio Dimitriu, and Alberto Sartoris.

The Pamphlet Architecture series was founded in 1978 by architects Steven Holl and William Stout as a venue for publishing the thoughts and works of a younger generation of architects. Each issue was written, illustrated, and designed by a single architect, which gives each its unique character. The series, which received an American Institute of Architects award, continues to influence new generations of architects as it disseminates new and innovative ideas on architecture and presents the work of the luminaries of tomorrow.

In series 3 we see for the first time Karen's dream job relocating her back to New York.

The September 2007 edition of Dwell Magazine sits well thumbed.
Dwell is good. See http://www.dwell.com/magazine/california-dreams.html for a Californication reprise.

As for Karen's comment in episode 7 at the Ray Kappe House, "I think it was Ruskin that once said .."Without architecture, there would be no remembering."
This is a reference from John Ruskin's "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" (1849). In Chapter 6 headed 'The Lamp of Memory' Ruskin writes: "It is as the centralization and protectress of this sacred influence, that Architecture is to be regarded by us with the most serious thought. We may live without her, and worship without her, but we cannot remember without her. "

In episode 8 It is not without whimsy or comment that Hank receives a letter from his father in Levittown foretelling his father's final soliloquy to his son.
Hank's father, Al Moody writes from Levittown, NY.
(a real address: Criminal Justice Media!)

Levittown, this modest suburban tract housing became paradigmatic of the post-war suburbs. White picket fences and cookie cutter housing. Is this where Hank grew up?

Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi most notably in the 1970's collaborated in theoretical research and education on the nature of cities with their studies "Learning From Las Vegas" and "Learning From Levittown."These projects challenged architects to study the human use and social context of architecture, the role of perception and memory in architecture, and the communicative possibilities of architecture. A primary focus had to do with symbolism and iconography. This turned the authors once again to history, to rediscover facets of architecture forgotten by the Modern movement.

Analyzing developer-built housing, Venturi-Brown & Steve Izenour noted that even bland tract homes came with a staggering array of options, which homeowners embraced with abandon. They also marvelled at advertising copy for postwar suburban developments (''These Houses Are Exactly the Same! They Just Look Different!'').

Charlie & Marcy's House

In Season 2 Episode 2 - "The Great Ashby" Sonja asks Karen, "How would you feel about restoring an original Lautner house with me?"

K-"Don't **** with me."

S-"I'm not; I'm bidding on one tomorrow."
---------------------------------------------------------

This is a reference to the seminal architect, John Lautner, one of the important Californian Modernists who along with architects such as Charles and Ray Eames, Craig Ellwood, Pierre Koenig, Raphael Sorriano and Richard Neutra created some of the iconic West-Coast mid-century houses; See particularly John Entenza's Arts & Architecture (1938-1967) magazine and the Case Study Programme. Lautner was a glaring omission. Lautner was apprenticed to Frank Lloyd Wright and came to California in 1938 and practised there until his death in 1994 aged 83. He was especially known for his bold, soaring, expressive use of concrete and cantilevered sculptural forms. Some of his houses such as the Elrod House, 1968 in Palm Springs featured in films:the James Bond film, Diamonds are Forever, 1971; and 'the Chemosphere',1960 was in Brian de Palma's movie, Body Double, 1984. Recently, The Los Angeles Times featured the Garcia Residence, recently renovated by Marmol Radziner, and the restoration of John Lautner's, Harpel House. There is currently considerable interest among architectural and mid-century enthusiasts to restore and maintain these properties before they are destroyed by redevelopment. The architects Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner of Marmol Radziner notably restored the extraordinary Kaufmann Desert House designed by Richard Neutra (1946) one of the greatest houses built in the twentieth century. Kaufmann's Palm Springs holiday house was a nice complement to his main house, Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece. Marmol Radziner also design very nice prefabs.

"It was also during this period that frequent cabin-guest Jimi Hendrix briefly resided in the Errol Flynn mansion to the north of the property. The mansion was once a home for "wayward women" and was also occupied in earlier years by notables ranging from Bugsy Siegel to W.C. Fields. The mansion is currently owned by Rick Rubin, co-founder of Def Jam Records and producer of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, The Black Crowes and numerous others."

A very useful site for Venice architecture is here

In Season 3, Episode 10 "Dogtown" Karen, Marcy, and Becca are having a Girls Night Out, and Becca says,

“He’s never going to change.

He’s always going to be that drunken fool in the middle of Abbot Kinney.

The same guy who wrote this book.

If that’s not what you want, then you have to be the one to walk away. Because he never will.”

Abbot Kinney Boulevard is a major street in Santa Monica, named after the man developer of Venice Beach and the canals.

Many of the bars and shops which appear in Californication are located here, including Pinkberry where the "girls" had been just prior to encountering the "boys," heist (a trendy women's clothing store whose awning appears in this episode), and Equator Books (see images above).

In episode s03e11 "Comings & Goings," Marcy and Charlie Runkle's divorce papers arrive at "Frey Street", Venice Beach: clearly a pun reference to Swiss born and trained Californian modernist architect, Albert Frey

Season 4- Hank meets Sasha Bingham at her unnamed hotel, and later after he also takes a room there. There are those who contend that this is the legendary Chateau Marmont, 8221 Sunset Blvd, in West Hollywood, although a tour of their website doesn't show many rooms, bungalows, or suites that match either Hank's or Sasha's, but the lobby/bar area does seem to match. And the CM does have the requisite balcony, where Hank talks Mia off the ledge (S4E5). You decide:

There is also an external website FilmingLocations90210.info which has filming locations of several movies and television shows, including a partial list of addresses used for
each of the four seasons of Californication, including some for Season Four.

Location of act: Her suite at hotel where she has asked him to go over notes for screenplay of "F**king and Punching."

Kink Factor: Since she is to play Mia in the film, she asks him what the punch felt like. He tells her to try it for herself. The first time she just slaps him, so he says, "do it again," so she closes her hand as a fist. He says, "harder," and while note quite the punch Mia provided in S1E1, it still was a cruncher.

DAVID DUCHOVNY QUOTABLES

I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream I only believed in.

I feel I have to work hard to nurture whatever talent I have as an actor. I feel like it's not natural with me. So I don't take it for granted. What I think is my natural ability -which is writing- I think I totally take it for granted.
I don't think I'd ever be cruel to an animal.

Californication soundtrack by: frankjames_88

My Californication Soundtrack Song List
Here is a list of songs I'd like to hear in the show:

1. Bad Dream - Keane (for two reasons. 1. because Hank often has a lot of bad dreams. And 2. he feels as though his life at the moment is a bad dream, and that if he woke up from that dream, he would be married to Karen and living with her and Becca).

2. To Be Alone With You - Sufjan Stevens (because Hank would give anything to be back with Karen)

3. Nothing Like You & I - The Perishers (this song should be used in one of the scenes where Hank and Karen spend time with each other without the presence of Bill)

4. World Spins Madly On - The Weepies (this is one of the most appropriate songs for Hank because he feels like the world is passing him by and there is nothing he can do about it)

5. Pills - The Perishers (this is also another extremely appropriate song for Hank because on the outside he is a cool, calm & successful individual, but on the inside he is struggling to deal with what's going on around him, and therefore frequently turns to substance abuse to assist him to forget his life)

Californication soundtrack by:lavorarepervivere

My three songs I'd like to hear on the show
These are three new songs I think would work well on the show. All three are easy to find on YouTube. I listen
to them all the time! All kind of bittersweet, fit mood of the series.

1. Say Goodbye to Love - Kenna.
This song is really original, has a great beat. Produced by the Neptunes.

2. Violet Hill - Coldplay.
This is the song with the chorus "If you love me, won't you let me know?" I think the last part, sung with only the piano,
would work particularly well.

3. Black and Gold - Sam Sparro
Original and beautiful song with great lyrics. Like Coldplay song, the last part would work really well.

TOP TEN CALIFORNICATION EPISODES

10. "California Son" is my favorite so far. It was a perfect blend of drama and comedy. It was just amazing how much was put into this 30 minute episode. Loved seeing the background of the Karen/Hank relationship. Also we got a chance to see that Hank's dad had a very big influence on him in both good and bad ways. His dad cheating on his mom made Hank a more committed man and father because of this. He also got his dad's pension for cursing, smoking and the ladies. But most of all we had the chance to see Hank "make love" for the first time in this series. All the other times he was just "having sex" There was no nudity and yet it was the sexiest scene yet on the show. Loved that there wasn't any music in the background. Only the sound of Karen and Hank's heavy breathing. Which just goes to prove that you really don't need a bunch of T and A to have it be sexy.

Hank Moody

Redidona — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:25:57 CST

Hey, Californication superfans!

Click the EasyEdit button above to help create the wiki guide to

the characters of Californication!
(Don't see the EasyEdit button? Sign in or sign up.)

Played by: David Duchovny

Occupation: Writer

Signature look: Black T Shirt or Black Shirt with dark denim jeans.. paired with a sport jacket for dress up or a leather jacket for a more casual look..and of course, the signature sunglasses.
Personality: Pessimistic, self-loathing,loving, spontaneous, brutally honest most of the time

taste: He often wears dark jeans and his favorite black t-shirt; In LOL he is seen wearing a light brown leather jacket which he exacted as payment from Bill for giving a talk to Mia's class. He likes to listen to classic rock.

Hank's backstory:
East Coast kid who came to Hollywood when his book got optioned. Fell into the Los Angeles lifestyle and has been trying to dig himself out ever since.

Back in New York, the seasons grounded him, constantly filling him with hope and disappointment. The bright white blanket and blue skies of the first snowfall, only to turn a grimy grey the next day, awakened his senses; reminding him that life was larger than him. Without him ever knowing it, the seasons moved his internal clock; the crisp air of fall turning increasing cooler and then winter reminding to turn inward. It was this never-ending cycle from which Hank drew upon for his writing. The city of eternal sunshine and perfect bodies numbed his heart and impeded his pen. It is from great angst that best-selling novels are made. Without the seasons providing cover, angst became personal and Hank’s life began to fall apart.

Hank's books include "South of Heaven," "Seasons in the Abyss," and "God Hates Us All" (which became a movie "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"), as well as a blog for Hell-A Magazine. Hank also wrote the book that Mia stole - published as F#@king and Punching - and the unpublished biography of Lew Ashby.

Discuss Hank

VIRTUES AND VICES

Moral values: Only about the truth. Knows the value of a well-stated white lie and truly loves women, flaws and all.

Vice(s): Women, alcohol, cigarettes, ganja, and coke, drama. Extended periods of self-loathing.

Regret(s): Letting Karen get away, moving to California.

Personal Goal(s): To get Karen and Becca back and overcome his writer's block

CHARACTER CONNECTIONS

Karen
Ex-domestic partner; mother of his daughter Becca
About the relationship...It seems that she cannot find a way to live with or without Hank but she loves him.

Becca
Daughter
About the relationship...
Hank knows that in spite of all his failings, Becca is the one thing he knows he did right. As her father, he genuinely understands that he has to get this right the first time...he doesn't get a second chance to go back and raise her again.

Charlie
Agent, best friend
About the relationship...
Friends like this don't come along often, and frankly the female population might get a little jealous if it did. Charlie truly has Hank's back. The fact that he occasionally gets financial benefit from their relationship, Charlie recognizes Hank's talent. Exploiting that talent and its rewards are just a bonus.

Mia
Karen's fiance's underage daughter with whom Hank had a one-night stand
About the relationship...Mia f''d and punched Hank, set him up, stole his book, and started up a relationship with Ashby. Psycopath in training.

Mia is not so much a psychopath in training as she is an opportunist raised in a morally bereft society by a self-adoring father.

HANK QUOTES

Hank: "Daddy's trying out a new look."
Becca: "Are you mentally insane?"
Hank: "Yes, and I'm extremely high-functioning."

Hank (to Charlie): "B*****s."
Hank: "Funky back-tat on the small of the back there, you know what that means."
Charlie: "No"
Hank: "She likes it in the pooper."
Charlie: "Really?"
Hank: "I have no idea, I just wanted to say pooper."
"I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister"

"It's not fair to say BRB and then never actually BRB."
"Sweet Baby Jesus, Hank is going to Hell."
"Hey K-Fed, the little man in the boat...he's up here."

HANK'S BEST EPISODES | SCENES

Church scene in the Pilot is beyond awesome.

Username: murgento
Dialogue: The Talk-(B for Becca, H for Hank)

B:Are we really having this talk right now?
H:Yes, we are Becca because I’m your father, and I'm a responsible parent .
B:Says the man who’s had more women in his room than a planned parenthood office.
H:Whoa! You really are my daughter and I'm impressed. But being your father, I control whether your bedroom door is locked at night
B:Fine.
H:This is a little delayed but I have to extinguish all blame now
B:Is this the a skewed Birds and Bees speech?
H:It's still called that? All the new jive talk out there, I'm surprised it hasn’t been updated to a more relative teen friendly term like the Ryan Seacrest and Big Black Man
B:Are you done?
H:Not until you're in the nunery
B:I’m not going to be a nun
H:Then, how much are Chastity Belts going for nowadays?
B:If this is how you’re going to handle this...
H:Alright. All business, I can respect that. When a man loves a woman very much
B:Wait. So, you love every woman you’ve ever been with?
H:I can certainly say that I've loved many in life, but I only truly love your mother. That's real love, the truest of true, the feelings you only every have for one, should be saved for one, and that being Jesus
B:As long as I find a man with the same name of our lord, I can have sex with him?
H:Eww, don’t say the S word, I might just gag on my tongue. For the rest of this talk, we’re referring to the act as petting ponies
B:Petting ponies?
H:I’ve pet some ponies in my day; purebreds, mares, even some mules, stallions... well, not stallions. I’ve dabbled but that's a different talk all together. This analogy isn’t working is it?
B:I’m going to go
H:Ah, get out of here. Don't think you can escape this talk: ponies, bees, Seacrestst. You picking up what I’m putting down? Becca!?
Exit Becca
H:Petting Ponies? God I'm too high right now

Username: californicationfan
Dialogue: (Hank and Charlie)

Hank: I’ve got to get out of this city. I think it sucked my soul away.
Charlie: Hank, if you’re losing your soul and you know it, then you’ve still got a soul left to lose.
Hank: Look at you Runkle, quoting Bukowski.
Charlie: Hey, I’m a highly intellectual human being Hank. Besides, with what’s been going on with Marcy, I’ve spent many nights crying with a bottle of red wine wondering what’s left for me in this city.
Hank: Why must we torture ourselves by chasing meaningless sex with the women of this town when we have the greatest women already in our lives?
Charlie: I know, but don’t be so hard on yourself Hank. We all make mistakes. Just be grateful you aren’t the laughing stock of the town for beating off in your own office.
Hank: Jesus Runkle, people still remember that?
Charlie: Like it was yesterday. It’s amazing how many people have added me on facebook asking for a new video.
Hank: Why do I keep screwing over the two most amazing women in my life? Karen and Becca deserve better.
Charlie: We can’t just give up Hank. You think I don’t have moments where I think Marcy would be better off without me? But I come to my senses and realize we are meant for each other. Love is something you have to fight for.
Hank: Ah, that’s why I love you Runkle, keepin me positive in my darkest hour.
Charlie: Hey, what are best friends for.
Hank: It’s time I fight to keep Karen and Becca in my life. I know if we can escape this chaos we can make it through.

Opening paragraph: Outside the local strip club Hank is seduced by a stripper named Dirty Diana, she tells Hank "oooh aaaah uummmm I would love to take a bite out of you Hank Moody" upon brushing up on him as they walk into the local strip club, Hank is feasting his eyes on what's about to make him come, thinking "I vant to drink your blood".

Username: brayth
Opening paragraph: The quiet murmurs in the cafeteria suddenly stopped and all movement slowed when she walked into the room. Their eyes met and for a second Logan thought he felt her in his mind, it tickled, like fingers rummaging through a catalog. It wasn't an altogether unpleasant experience and he found himself standing up, ready to follow her to the ends of the world if she asked. She winked at him with a teasing smile tugging at her lips and walked back out of the crowded cafeteria. The resumption of the hundreds of minute conversations brought him crashing back into reality with an unceremonious thump. The noise was too much for him to bear after the delicious quiet and he rushed out of the room, wanting nothing but to find the girl that had literally gotten into his head.

Username: murgento
Opening paragraph: I grew up on the edge of town, a loner of sorts, a rebel if you will; but that all changed with her.

Username: moneesh
Opening paragraph: A miniscule globe of crimson, composed of the golden, clear liquid, plasma, and 10 million microscopic blood cells, each carrying life-sustaining oxygen. Ambrosia. One drop hits the floor. The frenzy begins.
