Filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee have spent their
lives capturing the world in and around New York City. Last
year, Michael Mann won acclaim for accurately depicting L.A. in
his hitman drama Collateral. What about everywhere else?

There"s no one out there showing the real Dallas. The place I
call home is represented by grinning cowboy industrialists with
huge belt buckles or spitting rednecks who sacrifice their
children"s education for games of high school football. New York
gets The 25th Hour, Dallas gets Serving Sara. What do we know
about Baltimore, or Indianapolis? Does anyone care? The closest
anyone"s gotten to capturing my town is Mike Judge with Office
Space. Great movie, but a sad commentary on Hollywood"s
bi-coastal bias. That"s the real Dallas, and it isn"t run by
Larry Hagman.

It"s time for filmmakers to broaden out. There"s nothing
Hollywood loves more than making movies about itself, but give
the rest of us a chance. Give folks a chance to see that Dallas
is a shallow, rotting, festering boil of shallow consumerism and
chronic eating out. While you"re at it, show the good things
too"� if you can find them. I"d start looking in the suburbs.
Everything isn"t bigger and better in Texas and no Mr. Norris,
our cowboys (what few there are) don"t know Karate.
