[lbo-talk] a vile cesspit of a film

[joanna]

There's nothing wrong with L.A., except for the smog. I lived there from 
64 to 74. There was a thirty story skyscraper two blocks from my parents 
house that you could only see after the rain....about five days out of 
the year.

Otherwise, it's got great weather, beaches, mountains, beautiful 
mediterranean/Spanish architecture...etc.

But the smog is quite literally a killer.
