Nice. At least one person on Earth fully immune to the 'willfully scan-lined, plastic vhs box cover art' charms of the #80s - a rare thing! LaDiLA is laughably cheeseball.. but that chase sequence is still str8 fire
Watched To Live and Die in L.A. This is the movie:
An a-hole cop’s partner is killed by an overly sensitive painter allowing him to go on a depraved crime spree.
There’s a reason I’m not nostalgic for the 80’s and the zeitgeist this film captures (or feeds. I can’t tell.) is one of them.

tbh 'emerald fennell' *rolls eyes* and her snobby fart-bubble of vapid wypipo safe flicks can politely piss off back to the Mills & Boon book cover from when they were spawned and go lick my spummy bathwater; such a fetishistic view of class is merely a sick rich lizard's sick joke - wuthering pfft

Haven't a single clue about the difficulties and true daily #labor costs of #gamedev but in the time it takes such vaporware *not* to come out, could not Fans get together collectively and make their own 90's racer game? "How hard could it be to make a game?", he asked with zero industry context ;)
Am still upset about this one.☹️
