Companies like Domino's have usually defended themselves against criticism by dismissing it as localized and élitist, the self-serving yelps of New Yorkers and New Havenites who think they alone can make good pizza. But take a look at Alan Richman's recent roundup of the top pizzas in America in GQ. New York and Chicago are represented, but so are Detroit, Phoenix, Boston, Providence, R.I., and Port Chester, N.Y. - hardly bastions of food-snob chauvinism.

"You wouldn't be firing out, I guess," says New York Jets guard Alan Faneca, initially skeptical when asked his thoughts about this change. "I'd buy that."

...made Menace II Society, a scalding view of gang-plagued Los Angeles. Their next film, Dead Presidents, depicted the scars of Vietnam on a returning vet. After the documentary American Pimp, they sent Johnny Depp in pursuit of Jack the Ripper in the 2001 From Hell, based on an Alan Moore graphic novel. Their films exude a tone of lawlessness and despair. The message: whether it's Victorian London or a saloon town 30 years hence, sooner or later every place is Detroit...
