Do more movies take place in LA or NY?

[puniraptor]

see above for the good question and share your true answer.

[star seed 7]

You mean "set in"

[puniraptor]

hmmm

[The Big Train]

a better question is which city gets destroyed in movies the most.

[chum1]

Man, NY gets destroyed in a ton of movies.

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, Hollywood gets lazy and stays in LA a lot.

[michigancat]

LA is too spread out to get destroyed very often

[mocat]

if it's not set somewhere specific, it's in LA. with TV shows this is true of NY

Is this for Ms. Hollins' class?  I went with "How many average small intestines does it take to stretch around the circumference of the world?"

So he's based on Kevin Seitzer then

[Cartierfor3]

Like is there a bunch of Royals stuff around the house in the show? Do episodes take place at the K?

thats a lot closer than i thought!

[cfbandyman]

Little off topic but London/Britain also seems to be a hotbed of end of the world/major upheaval like movies (Children of Men, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, V for Vendetta, etc.)

[puniraptor]

on topic is all themes for each setting. Not just destruction.

[Trogdor]

Friends with Benefits too place in both, how do we categorize that?

There was a show called "Married to the Kelly's" that was set in KC. Breken Meyer was a lead character. It had a lot of local references.

i like the idea.  except instead of a sitcom, make it a documentary.

now, i'm going to pretend you guys work for a production company- it doesn't matter which one- i'll pick High Noon Entertainment in Sherman Oaks and i'm going to pitch my show to you.

ok- it's a 30 minute documentary called "KC Sucks".  each week documents another reason why KC sucks.   
i'm asking for a 6 episode commitment, the general theme:
epi 1:  why do so many people drive pick up trucks in this town?
epi 2:  sunflower seeds and corn nuts, fine dining in kansas city.
epi 3:  the weather.
epi 4:  a cornucopia of strip malls, the kansas city connection.
epi 5:  roads, is it possible to build too many?  kansas city says no.
epi 6:  kansas city's addiction to violent crime.
after the final rose episode, episode 7:  the myth behind public schools and accreditation.

green light me.  pls.
