I don't think it's that generic. Watch last year's "Nightcrawler" for a really great survey of the city. There aren't so many landmarks portrayed as there are distinct neighborhoods and 'feelscapes'. It is definitely an A->B city where it is hard to notice what comes in between. So often I'm invited to a restaurant or event and it exposes a cultural micro-climate that I've never guessed was there despite driving within a block of it every day for years. It's a great city if you want to have territory to explore.

I think it's not so much an A-to-B city as that it's full of people with A-to-B habits. I'm not excluding myself here, but I've gone through times where I had different sets of habits (usually involving ditching the car and being a little more active about any curiousity) and from those experiences I'm reasonably confident I can say LA often rewards wandering. (Though havig acquaintances who know places and the internet helps a lot too.)
