LETTER FROM THE EDITOR (me!): Because there are so many wonderful things in LA that aren't in the Lonely Planet guide, I am starting a new section called UnLonely Los Angeles, for all things that SHOULD be in the book.
LA isn't exactly known as being the cultural capital of the world. In fact, people tend to think that us Angelinos are vapid and only care about all things movies, movie stars and a smattering of red carpets, cocaine and our personal Coffee Bean/Starbucks preference. Well, for those of you who are looking to ease yourself into the art world, your friend Kevin Smith has the answer. Kev (as I call him, but never to his face, since I've never actually been in front of his face) is an absolute cinephile. For those with you New Yorkers with higher class philias (or lower class if your philia involves feet or rubber) this means he is a film aficionado, specifically, he loves cult film (think Tarantino or bad 80s monster movies). Apparently he also likes art and so decided to curate his own gallery devoted to the films in his DVD collection.
Whether you're a fan of 80s brat pack movies...
Or Point Break...
There is something for you.
Now the bad news is that this is a limited run, a run which is over (sorry, it took me a while to post this), but considering this is the fourth annual Crazy 4 Cult, I think you can safely set your calendars for July 2011 to go check it out.
TIP: I'm guessing if you are into cult film, you might also be into comic books. The gallery is attached like a bad habit to one of the biggest comic book stores in LA, The Golden Apple. Stop by!
