		For Jorge Franco, a writer in his early forties based in the Colombian capital Bogotá, the boom authors may have been an inspiration but their roots were mainly rural.
		First, he married the "Jewish-American coming-of-age novel with the multi-voiced narration of some of the great boom novels"; now, in a story about the settling of 60,000 K'iche Indians from Guatemala in Massachusetts, home to H P Lovecraft, he is working to merge "the Gothic, New England horror novel with the immigrant novel".
		The boom came in an era of military dictatorships, reflected in such novels as García Márquez's The Autumn of the Patriarch (1975).

	BLDGBLOG: Beijing Boom Tower
		The Boom Tower, they say, is an example of "the market responding to all future demands: suburban living in the heart of China's capital." Which is interesting, because this is possibly the least suburban thing I've ever seen.
		Boom Tower uses a very holey structure for maximum window surfacing and minimum pity for people living with vertigo.
		The dark bottomless pits are clearly for the Boom Town compost pile.

		Boom Town is the story of two oil men who begin as friends but ruin their relationship over a girl.
		It is a 2 hour film that should have been done in less time.
		I'd seen a clip or two from it, and the prospect of seeing Gable, Tracy, and Colbert all together in one film was delightful to me. I mean, this would be the intersection of two great chemistry sets, Tracy and Gable of "San Francisco" with Gable and Colbert of "It Happened One Night".

	Boom Town (1940) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		The ladies, Claudette Colbert and Hedy Lamarr, play more complex than usual women for this kind of film, as their motivations at all times make sense even if one doesn't care for them.
		I guess you'd call it an adventure, though it has a good deal of drama, some of it serious, and the actors bring a rare sincerity to their roles.
		The script, by John Lee Mahin and James Edward Grant, does not for a minute seriously question the motivations or morals of the main characters, and this could be classified as a conservative adventure film or a Republican epic.

	BOOM TOWN
		The film starts out with John Sand (Tracy) and John McMasters (Gable), two oil wildcatters, forming an uneasy friendship in an effort to strike it rich by drilling in the middle of nowhere Texas.
		Granted BOOM TOWN is far from your average romance, given that it takes place in the intriguing world of oil refining, but the road to domestic bliss is all too familiar.
		This is certainly not the worst film any of the leads have made, yet it's not one to seek out either.

		She simply had to be one of the most beautiful women in the history of film.
		But nevertheless, this is also a film that is very easy to enjoy, thanks to typical performances by an extremely strong cast.

	The Austin Chronicle Politics: The Entertainment Economy
		In the film world, the rule of thumb is that half the money spent on a production stays in the local economy.
		Every film project is, in effect, a corporate relocation exercise, and as with our other "creative class" industries, Austin's homegrown film endeavors have developed a talent pool that's now attractive to this niche of out-of-town major employers.
		Though music has been around Austin a lot longer than film has, the actual "recording industry" appears to be a similar point on the curve as the film industry.

		The film's heroine is Sun Green, an idealistic high school girl who blossoms into a proactive environmentalist as her uncle Jed is jailed for shooting a police officer and her grandfather is killed in the media frenzy that follows.
		As for the film's message, Young says he's definitely taking on the new, corporate version of America that's emerged during the current Bush presidency, just as former Democratic candidate John Edwards did in his now famous "Two Americas" stump speech.

		Brown's "Buffalo Common," a wisp of a film at 23 minutes, is a veritable smorgasbord of sorrow and a chronicle of the American Midwest as a no-man's-land of dying towns and hobbling industry.
		Shot using a pinhole camera, the films have a hazy, tunnel-vision perspective that somehow visualizes the sensation of memory.

		"It started with the piper, but it quickly became a play about a town, a particular, narcissistic society," says the unassuming playwright and filmmaker, her bagel and cheese slowly bringing her back to this reality.
		The first act opens with the town council trying to deal with the disappearance of Tot, the young son of toothless Deputy Mayor Ludwig (Rick Roberts) and his wife, Dot (Maggie Huculak), last seen in the company of Kingsley.
		Rescue efforts are stalled by the absence of emergency services (sold to neighbouring towns to finance casinos and big-screen TVs) and by the apathetic response of the townsfolk, typically self-serving and paralyzed by trivial political jockeying.

		About his writing, actor Jeff Daniels - best known for such films as Terms of Endearment and 101 Dalmatians - says he writes plays about "people living right next door." In a regional premiere of his 1998 play Boom Town, Theatre Quorum offers exquisite proof of that statement.
		There's nary a whiff of white-trash caricature surrounding her disappointed schemer, just tired, mascaraed eyes framed by blowsy dyed-blond hair and the occasional weak smile when she thinks fortunes may turn her way...Thanks to Theatre Quorum, Boom Town is a place where cuckoldry and debt are perfectly justified triggers for homicidal rage.
