The Running Man (1987)
why is LA always so fucking dark in the future, I saw a video of LA this morning and the sun was so bright it blew out my monitor
Dark LA™ always seems to be DTLA, which I guess makes sense in some weird way. However, in VtM Bloodlines, a third of the game is set in the dark and dangerous streets of Santa Monica, which I just could not take seriously.
LA was where Raymond Chandler and a big chunk of noir come from, the dark (though often rain-slicked) streets of LA are a longstanding trope

Because a lot of dystopic sci-fi set in LA came out when that city was still frequently enveloped in smog, maybe?
