Thirty Seconds to Mars Video City of Angels

There are music videos, and then there are Thirty Seconds to Mars music videos. Taking the whole audio/visual thing to the next level, the guys have just debuted a clip that simultaneously (and seamlessly, we should add...) weaves their new single "City of Angels" with commentary from stars like Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan, and Ashley Olsen about their own experiences in L.A.

Part documentary, part cinematic music video, this Jared Leto-helmed mini-film is touching, sweet, and totally worth watching in its 11-minute entirety. But before you press play and let the warm and fuzzy feelings commence, we've picked our 10 favorite quotes and moments below.

Jeto Leto used the name "

Bartholomew Cubbins" as his directorial pseudonym. 

It's taken from a Dr. Seuss book. 

This isn't the first time Kanye West and Thirty Seconds to Mars collaborated. 

They worked together on Thirty Seconds to Mars' 2010 track "Hurricane 2.0."

Along with celebrities like Lily Collins, Olivia Wilde, Ashley Olsen, James Franco, Selena Gomez (the list goes on...), some of the film's most touching comments come from Hollywood impersonators of Superman and Marilyn Monroe. 

"It's the land of dreams, but it's also the land of broken dreams."

You might recognize some of these men and women from the 2007 film Confessions of a Superhero.

Lindsay Lohan used Los Angeles as a place of reflection.

"To not be like, wake the f*** up; look what you have, this is what you wanted."
