Not to worry. Jonze has made some amazing films. The one you're talking about seems so cloyingly a white male fantasy that it has to be dissected.

He has a wife, but she doesn't "understand" him? I haven't seen the movie. I assume we never get her side of it, because white guys. I assume Herr Pornstache can simply walk away from his failings because white guys. I'll have to bootleg the flick so I can find out and cringe a lot.

But yeah, a Los Angeles without blacks or Latinos? It can't be San Diego white without having some kind of traumatic decimation or two.
