Cancel your Netflix.

Cancel your Paramount/HBO.

Hell, cancel all streamers at this point.

The enshittification of entertainment will only stop when our dollars do.

I absolutely loved this show. Huell was from Tennessee but fell in love with California and especially places around the Los Angeles area.

You couldn’t pay me enough 😬

Rest in peace to a legend :/

There’s some serious buzz in town that Sony is about to resuscitate the Cinerama Dome and Hollywood Arclight multiplex which has been shuttered since Covid 2020. The Culver City lot is currently in talks, we hear, with the Robertson Property Group on lease to reopen the historical cinema venue.

Details are still be worked out in addition to a reopening date.

As a SoCal native, movies that feature my city heavily will always get a watch from me. I hope to find ones I haven’t seen.

Also, only list movies that were actually filmed in or around the city (LA county cities are fine). Nowadays, filming in LA is drastically down, and films that are supposed to take place in LA are filmed out of state. Off the top of my head:

.Terminator 1, 2, and 3
.Collateral
.Ambulance
.Ride (kind of a ripoff of Collateral)
.Heat
.Falling Down
.Training Day
.Nightcrawler? (It’s been so long, I need to watch again).

Added from mentions in topic:

.Swingers
.Speed
.Chinatown
.Sunset BLvd
.Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
.Lala Land
.LA Confidential
.Drive
.To Live and Die in LA
.Rebel Without A Cause

She points out LA has taken the filming industry for granted and made comments about clearing city department delays. She wants to shorten permit timelines and reduce extra police and fire fees.

Boycott those channels and their advertisers.
