If a movie is produced or filmed in LA then I would say it's an LA movie. There's a bunch of history. Don't have time to drive it home right now but maybe later. You are not seriously trying to imply that ny can compete with LA as the movie capitol. Are you? That's like blowing a gasket, online. Well if humanity has terrible assessment skills, that must include new yorkers. Freeways make my city look hideous? Your entire city stinks like pi-ss. There's gum, gunk, filth, spit, trash on all of your sidewalks. Even the air stinks like pi-ss! Who really wants to be locked up in an apartment with no yard? Not for me and not for most of America. LA music history is legendary. You want to talk history? Let's do it. I already know one of the first things out of your filthy mouth is going to be some ghetto music that has never been taken seriously--pure ghetto trash that nobody respects and that died out a long time ago. Bring it! I'll be sure to do the same.
I think the point is that New York actually **is** a city. Whereas LA is just a giant suburb.

Oh snap!
So what! it's not always about buildings all the time and just for your information LA is looking a something like a mini Tokyo lately with all those hi-rises

Hey man I love LA. I just got back from there a couple weeks ago. But LA does look like a giant suburb compared to Chicago, let alone New F'ing York. LA's strength isn't feeling like a big city or having highrises, so don't play to it.

You might as well start carrying around some sparklers and whatever else lame-o fireworks they sell these days.
The numbers DON'T LIE: LAC 11,000,000 nyc 8,000,000
CA 38,000,000 ny 18,000,000
You ny'ers need to accept reality. You found somebody BIGGER! It's funny because in some ways, ny is like LA's neurotic lil brother. We don't pay attention but you are always trying to get our attention and win our acceptance. It's like you guys are trying to tackle us but instead you just bounce right off--nobody pays any attention.
Speaking of reality. Why are you comparing an entire county to a city?
Los Angeles has a decent collection of high-rises and skyscrapers, but not as many as one would expect of such a large, American city. That said, the collection along Wilshire Blvd, Downtown, and Century City are prett nice.
As for LA not having a city feel, that's true for large tracts of it, but it's also got several dense and walkable neighborhoods--it is far from being all suburban sprawl.
Los Angeles is a great city, and it's gotten much better in recent years. LA is influential, but it is not more so than NYC.
ny is on an 4 separate ISLANDS. Not even one cohesive unit, like LA.
I would hardly call LA "cohesive." It's like a giant suburb with no one walking around on the streets, like every suburb in America. There are probably more people walking around in Brooklyn than all of LA county.
And before you go on the defense I like LA way more than New York overall. But LA feels like a suburb no doubt. You can basically visit LA within New York's metro area by driving to NYC's suburbs.
ny is on an 4 separate ISLANDS. Not even one cohesive unit, like LA.
LA is not one cohesive unit. You aren't one of those angelenos that run their entire lives in one small loop, barely seeing the rest of the city are you? Then again, it's the same thing with most new yorkers.
ny is on an 4 separate ISLANDS. Not even one cohesive unit, like LA.
Well Russia is GIANT too! Does that make it a better country than where you live?
Oh and Venice is also built on separate ISLANDS.
