I was there once on business. Felt like the city had no soul. It was weird. Every other major American city I've traveled to has some unique character. You can sense the history. LA felt like the frozen pizza version of a city.
>>70928791
Why? California and its cities is the most civilized, peaceful, progressive and crime free place in USA.
At least according to people who live in Cali.
Was this L.A?
>>70928870
LA is unique from other major American cities because of its size. There is no "heart and soul" because each neighborhood of LA has it's own heart and soul. It's an incredibly dense place to live.
Los Angeles County, officially the County of Los Angeles, with a population of more than ten million people, is the most populous county in the United States. It has 88 incorporated cities and many unincorporated areas and at 4,083 square miles (10,570 km2) it is larger than the combined areas of the U.S. states of Delaware and Rhode Island.
>>70928791
it's pretty great actually. but I agree that 90's LA in the photo fucking sucked
>>70928938
Jesus, that's immense. You can probably live your whole life without leaving LA and it wouldn't matter
>>70929045
I've lived here my whole life, 24 years, and I still occasionally find an area I haven't visited before.
>>70929092
I can't even imagine, coming from a small town in the middle of nowhere like me. I guess I'd feel very anxious and lost.

You can blame the Liberals and their zoning laws for this shit. There should be fucking skyscrapers everywhere.
I can't even build a fence without the zoning commission breathing down my neck.
>>70929428
Yes. It was arson of a large under construction apartment complex.

>>70929362
This is true but I do not see a need for more homes. There are too many people here already.
>>70929608
I'm not American, could you tell me why they are so difficult? What do they have against more tall buildings?
>>70929608
>I can't even build a fence without the zoning commission breathing down my neck.
That sucks bro. I can put a horse in my back yard and build a barn for it. And no I don't live in the country, it's the suburbs that got annexed by the city but didn't get a bunch of restrictions that went along with it.

You don't have to be american to understand this

I don't know. Stop coming here you fuckin fly over bastards.

10 Items or Less
70s
-Omega Man is the only one I can think of. It actually captures the soullessness of what downtown LA was then.
80s
-Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Perfectly captures mall/shitty Valley culture that started at that time.
-Beverly Hills Cop. Shows what it was like for rich douches in LA, but doesn't really incorporate the city all that much.
90s
-Falling Down. Shows what a hellhole LA was during the early 90s recession when white and black people really hated each other.
-Heat
-Speed. Doesn't seem like it, since the city isn't talked about that much, but they cover a lot of the it throughout the movie.
2000s
-Training Day. Interesting time capsule, since places that were the ghetto in that movie (Echo Park) are now home to hipsters.
2010s
-Drive
Historic LA
-LA Confidential. Based on what I've seen of old LA, they did a really good job capturing it. Pretty good use of places that existed back then that are still around.
-Chinatown

must be tough living around Chads 24/7
Inherent Vice has a fair bit of LA to it.
>>70929361
gimmicky shitty movie
I never got around to posting movies lol. Ok, here's some great LA core imo:
Terminator 2
Boogie Nights
To Live and Die in LA
Jackie Brown
Swingers
Speed
Clueless
>>70929836
There will be Chads anywhere you go in life m8. Be confident in yourself and there is nothing to worry about.
>>70929423
>no water supply
Water flows from the taps just fine.
>most lawn mowers illegal (unless mexican)
Just the opposite.
>being so overpriced
True.
>constantly fucking hot
People actually like the heat. I fucking hate it, but people unironically refer to those 80/90/100+ days as "beautiful".
I cant belive no one has said American History X.
>>70928938
This guy is retarded. I live a couple hours away from LA and go there very often. It has no soul. It is shit. Other than DUDE WEED at Venice Beach and the """""entertainment""""" industry, nothing happens. I've been to cities in Europe with 5% the population of LA and an infinitely more cohesive and interesting culture.
It is the embodiment of vast urban sprawl and the plastic fake culture of america
>>70930777
Probably because American History X, although based in LA, is shown as a broad, nationwide perspective of Neo-Nazi-ism and it's ramifications. The movie does not make the issue at hand LA exclusive.
Stand and Deliver

Did you spend more time in L.A. than it took you to walk down a poor block?
>>70930877
Sure, nazis arent hust in LA, but there were a lot of them inLA in the 90s, when the movie takes place. I think the movie is trying to put some of that history on the screen.
>>70930982
>>70931054
not sure wtf happened, remember being in traffic for fucking ever to get to the city, got some ice cream, enjoying the sun cause from alaska and bam start realizing all the shittyness around. Maybe there is a good part but a large portion was shit, we walked miles.
NWA Movie
>>70931146
The movie doesn't feel quintessentially LA to me but I agree with what you are saying.
>>70931165
Yes, there are large areas of shit in LA, no doubt. Shame you missed the great parts. Is Alaska worth visiting? I've never been.
Goes without saying. Also:
>Cobra
>Drive
>Lebowski
>The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
>T2
>Lethal Weapon
>Die Hard
and everything else mentioned so far I guess

If you go, go in august, usually the best chance to get decent weather in the south east. But it's died since I was young, over fished. Heroin destroyed the community. no joke 100 jewelery stores in the downtown areas full of indians trying to sell you the same shit from town to town. Now that I think about it. No not really just go west side of washington and save some money.
You should watch 'Thief' to see a sort of prototype of /tv/'s favorite movie:Drive.
