That two lane highway in the desert with a bunch of electrical/telephone poles on either side that is suppose to take you from SoCal to Las Vegas. I wonder if this real road is in Lancaster?? Last time I checked Southern Californians use the 15 freeway.

That's a good one... In Hollywood films if one wants to travel across the Southwest--even if you're a city slicker just travelling from Los Angeles to some other big city across the country--one most drive through a rugged two lane desert highway. I-10, I-15, or I-40 will never be an option.
And if your car breaks down along the way, your only option will be a desolate yet surprisingly dangerous small town. All of which will have a atmospheric diner straight out of 1951 with oldies playing on the jukebox, a old-fashioned auto repair shop with couple of colorful mechanics, a country bar with a hot redneck barmaid, corrupt local police officials who will never be of any help at all,, and also plenty of other local yokels, who despite their simple and slow outward appearances, are actually ruthless criminals. There will never be any modern chain stores or franchises in these small towns and there won't be a Walmart in sight either.

that pretty much sums up travelling in america hollywood style.
For me it's New York. I am tired of seeing NYC as the backdrop for most genres. The most recent one I watched was Arthur with Russell Brand. Of course, it was New York. I can deal with the Caribbean because I would love to go there
I live in Portland and there are movies, TV shows and commercials filmed right outside my Apt bldg and around the city. I think the city is rather an overrated setting for films. I know its revenue for the city and thats all well and good, but at times it gets annoying. Alot of tie ups and closed off streets due to all the filming. I never knew until living here, that Portland subs for many other locales in the film industry. Personally I don't think the city looks anything at all like Boston, yet a TV show was filming here doing outside shots that were suppose to be set in Boston.
