Fascinating but too long, really lost me in the last hour. As one of the 1 in 40 Los Angeles residents working in entertainment, I don’t like how angry the tone often is. A lot of this is devoted to filmmakers who seemingly love or hate Los Angeles, often accusing them of punishing Los Angeles for some perceived misdeed. I think film people actually just love iconography and destroying a portion of Los Angeles onscreen is mostly about the spectacle of it all.
