Good point. I saw "Los Angeles Plays Itself" last month on Netflix - I liked it, although I thought it deteriorated toward the end (where the narrator strays from the depiction and movie persona of Los Angeles itself), and I thought some of the points and glib assertions (a couple of which you pointed out: no one walks, everybody drives, etc.) were merely the conceits of an artiste. I also chuckled at another of his points, which was that everybody thinks people in LA work in the movies, but, in reality, "only 1 Angelino in 40 works in the entertainment industry". That still seems like a pretty darn high number to me!

Nevertheless, as I mentioned, I still liked it - partly for the nostalgia. (Until I was a senior in high school, I was living about a mile and a half from Disneyland.)
