If we're willing to count the wilfull misrepresentation of Northern California, I have to nominate the egregious Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage, a biopic which I hadn't seen in years and forgot starred Jared Fucking Padalecki. It's a depiction of Placerville, CA that will feel inexplicable, foreign, and ambiguously Midwestern to anyone who's ever set foot in Placerville, CA.

So, for those of you who have never been there, Placerville is (or certainly was when I was growing up in the general area) a tiny town with a Mediterranean climate. I'm not saying it never snows, but snow doesn't happen ever year, and it sure as fuck doesn't stick much of the time it does come down. It's one of the worst possible candidates for a "white Christmas" story to be grafted on. This doesn't really stop a screenwriter who only knows how to write one kind of Christmas story for the Hallmark money machine, though.

But there are also unique things about the town that are sanded off to make an off-the-shelf narrative work (ironically, a narrative about showing the heart of the town). All of Placerville is in a valley with a tamed freeway running through it - by that I mean, US 50 slows down and temporarily becomes a multi-lane stroad with stoplights before speeding back up after you leave town. Downtown is right next to this, and it's a massive siphon for tourist traffic, a weird feature that keeps the local economy alive (but also accentuates some "local vs tourist" social dynamics). It seems like a weird thing to include as part of the intrinsic unique nature of the town, but I've marched through Downtown Placerville in a January parade (twice, I think) and it's really a noteworthy divide between the adjacent worlds of the pass-throughs vs a rich, dense, historic district of local businesses. I wonder if I still have my old gift card for a local ice cream shop (graduation gift from the shop owner, who was the dad of one of my schoolmates).

But the other thing I'd really expect to see is references to Placerville's history. The town itself is full of them, to the point that it's often confusing to people - "what's Old Hangtown? Is that near here? I thought I was in Placerville..." Yeah, buddy, that's an old nickname for Placerville, because it used to be a rough town that was central to the gold rush, and so many people got robbed of their gold that they hung 3 dudes at one time (more, by some accounts). Literally, until somewhat recently, one of the tourist sights was George, the dummy pictured below:

That's actually incredible imagery for a story where a guy is trying to show the good a town can be, while struggling with the fact that it's economically destroying his closest family, and he feels trapped being back home after all these years. Literally one long eye contact shot between Jared and George would fucking slap if this movie had any balls. But it's not something the Hallmark channel would ever dare to do. The cookie cutter has its shape for a reason. So Placerville is imagined as an Everytown, U.S.A. that I'm not convinced has ever existed anywhere.

Now, this movie is supposed to be based on the real life events of the painter Thomas Kinkade, which is to say, it's inspired and very mildly constrained by a list of plot beats that Kinkade self-describes as his life story. And I don't really want to pick a fight over the truth or fiction of those events, that's a lane I'm trying to stay out of. It's just very striking to me that if I imagine the kind of movie you'd get by filtering those plot beats through the interpretive lens of someone who's never been to California and had a pathological disdain for research, you'd get TKCC. The results are indistinguishable.

I don't know if there's a SoCal equivalent to this, but yeah, NorCal is covered for real.

"I hate how American media will just make up a European nation rather than do any research, so I'm going to get back at them by writing a story set in a fake American state" like, do you have the slightest idea how much American media is set in a geographically impossible fictional small town located in no particular state and characterised entirely by some guy from Los Angeles' collection of half-remembered stereotypes about the American Midwest? They've already got the "lazily inventing fictional parts of America" bit locked down.

No, if you want to play the Uno reverse card on American media, what you need to do isn't to make up a fake state: you specifically need to wilfully misrepresent southern California.

Amazed by the Changes

Hello from Placerville, CA., It’s the first time I have been back to Hang Town, as it is called, the County Seat of El Dorado County since a somewhat ill-fated trip on December of 2021. My first visit to this little boutique town was in the fall of 2005, when I drove up from San Francisco while attending a CPTSP Conference, and I was in awe of the town and the wineries and vineyards nestled in…
