Out Of This World: Los Angeles Without A Map

Los Angeles is awash in wit, kitsch, horror, cartoons and the ultra chic rebel yell–it's a city with a future and a remote control past. Residents of Los Angeles are a remarkable bunch. It is a strange place, but far more relaxing than you might expect. If you suddenly find yourself here talking to Hollywood royalty you’ll find Los Angeles is a warm, generous place filled with talent, opportunity and remarkable insight. If you fly into Burbank or LAX and take the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu, Ocean Front Walk, Venice, Hollywood Hills and then to Pasadena–you’ll see the charm that is Los Angeles. Mulholland Drive is the spine that connects the valley to the rest of the city. When you are on Mulholland you can see both sides of Los Angeles. It is serpentine; all at once it locates you as nothing else. Los Angeles does not feel like anywhere else on earth and this is good. Pulsating daily into the airwaves the dream is alive in the entertainment capital of the universe. Now go out and watch a movie at a nearby cinematheque.
