I grew up with such mixed feelings about LA, but I do love it. I grew up lectured by Woody Allen, for example, that LA was absurd, worthy of ridicule and contempt. Most people seem to describe Los Angeles as elementally despicable, or as someplace that requires an apology.
I have very mixed feelings about the movie business, and about Los Angeles in general.
Usually when people say they have mixed feelings about something, it's a sort of euphemistic way of saying they hate it.
I do have complicated feelings about Hollywood, but I also have tremendously affectionate ones.
