And I guess, the title says it all.

One of my all time favourite documentaries, and one that desperately needs a home video release. "The Los Angeles Police Department is the only one I know of that puts it's motto in quotation marks. Are they trying to be ironic?"

Many thanks for sharing this clip from Andersen's great LA Plays Itself!

Was that a miniature at the end or did they really collapse this house? Stupid question maybe...

Thom anderson works as a professor at Calarts. You can try to contact him there

@bufoarborealis I know what you're saying but most of the tangents in the film are very tongue in cheek... that's part of the fun.

It will be playing at the Aero in Santa Monica September 5 & 6.

Nice video, but the thesis is silly. The houses are in movies because they're cool, modernist and speak of big money. Hollywood loves these houses.

I agree to an extent, that what you're saying is the reason that producers, directors and loc. scouts choose these locations primarily. However I believe you're missing the point, as Andersen argues what theoretically becomes of these houses once they are used in a certain context inside the narrative and then impressed upon an audience.
