	Encyclopedia topic: New York City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Like many US cities, New York suffered population decline, an erosion of its industrial base, and race riots in the 1960s (The decade from 1960 to 1969), and by the 1970s (The decade from 1970 to 1979), the city had gained a reputation for being a crime-ridden relic of history.
		Residents of the city often refer to the city itself as "the Five Boroughs (additional info and facts about the Five Boroughs)," reserving the phrase "the City" for Manhattan, and referring to the other boroughs as "the Outer Boroughs." Those less familiar with the city often (incorrectly) think Manhattan is synonymous with New York City.
		In the city the population is spread out with 24.2% under the age of 18, 10.0% from 18 to 24, 32.9% from 25 to 44, 21.2% from 45 to 64, and 11.7% who are 65 years of age or older.

	Hong Kong Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Of the five recent HK films in the Museum of Fine Arts' current brief series (four of which I was able to preview), all are at least marginally offbeat, and one is excellent.
		Their story unfolds in flashback; as the film opens, they die in a car crash at midnight on January 1, 1997, whereupon their relationship is investigated by Raphael's son (Daniel Ng) and Vivian's daughter (Nicola Cheung), who meanwhile fall in love.
		The film catalogues the stylistic devices that have become de rigueur in even the most routinely ambitious HK films in the wake of John Woo and Wong Kar-Wai: colored lighting, rhythmic superimpositions, slow and stop motion, jump dissolves, repeated shots.

	Bookslut \| City of Glass: The Graphic Novel by Paul Auster
		A city where parents do horrible, monstrous things to their children (or maybe they don't; it all depends on what you take to be the truth of the story).
		Ultimately, there's too much grit, and cruelty and madness in the story for it to serve as a romantic picture of the city, but there's also a sense of resignation, of accepting the truth about the thing you love, of seeing all the flaws and loving it all the same.
		As a result, this collaboration creates a city of glass that is simultaneously reflective and transparent.

		I was in the city's Space Needle, Harbour Centre, watching seagulls fly between and above the glass towers, when I suddenly saw a man staring at me from the 10th floor of a pale-blue (or pale-green) condominium.
		Finally here is the city not as a seamless backdrop to a Hollywood picture, or TV show, or book, but as itself: the city of glass.

	CITY OF GLASS - Daily Plant Newsletter
		What this film does not touch on, however, is an issue that has become of increasing importance to conservationists and birders alike: the hundreds of millions of bird deaths each year in the United States caused by the collision of birds and glass.
		Glass poses such a danger to birds because, by virtue of its transparency, a path may inaccurately appear unobstructed to a bird; glass allows birds to see plants inside of buildings and glass reflects natural objects like trees where birds might normally find refuge.
		While pigeons have learned to maneuver around glass, migrating birds as well as local songbirds are thrown off by light emanating from buildings and building reflections.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Review: City of Glass by Paul Auster, Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli
		Originally published in 1985, City of Glass was the first part of Paul Auster's New York Trilogy, and instantly made him famous.
		City of Glass has apparently been adapted into several (unsuccessful) screenplays, but it's difficult to imagine any director having the courage or imagination to produce a movie half as visually inventive as this comic.
		If you haven't read City of Glass, then you have an intriguing dilemma: not which of the two books to read - you should read both - but which to read first.

	City of Glass
		The film opens in style with Hsu Chi and Leon Lai driving down a street in London on New Years Eve with fireworks and the Tower Bridge in the background.
		The film begins to slide effortlessly between the relationship that starts to develop between the two offspring and flashbacks that detail the twenty-year-old love affair of Leon and Hsu.
		As I sat back to watch CITY OF GLASS, the thought that sneaked up on -- and nagged at -- me though was that this was a film in which style was being emphasized over substance, gloss over reality, rose-tinted nostalgia over harsher-tinged memory.

		Instead, it is a series of short vignettes, some touching moments, the use of New York City and the exploration of the characters that propels this story to an emotional fairy tale ending.
		They have been paired in a number of films, but of the ones I have seen this one displays their best chemistry as they both give subtle nuanced heartfelt performances.
		Cherie though is aware of their differences and says to herself “I feel free around him, but he is not the kind of man you marry” and on top of that her ex-boyfriend comes back into her life.

		Over the past 25 years, Stanton, fellow glass artists Gigi Erickson and Joanne Castiglione, and painter and designer Lou Bermingham have transformed what used to be Holy City's post office and an adjacent bar into a studio that produces unique art glass known throughout the area.

	Boli zhi cheng (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Mabel Cheung's romantic drama about a love-lorn couple (Leon Lai and Shu Qi) is reputedly the film that brought the on screen pair together in real life (the couple has since gone separate ways).
		It's a passable romance enlivened by good use of music, but the script and the film in general is nothing to shout about - although there isn't very much wrong with the on-screen couple's performance, it's hard to pinpoint anything that's too original about the story.
		But anyone who looks for anything less conventional won't find it in Mabel Cheung's "City of Glass", although the ending is appropriately swoonful with a harbor view of Hong Kong celebration during the 1997 takeover.

		However, comic could not be used in the description of Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli's graphic adaptation of Paul Auster's novel, City of Glass.
		Paul Auster's City of Glass adapted by Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli is a very deep story accompanied by very deep visuals exemplifying the distinction between 'comic book' and 'graphic novel.
		City of Glass has neither – though it is simply a novel put in graphic form, there is nothing simple about it.

		Shattered Glass stars Hayden Christensen as Stephen Glass, a staff writer for the respected current events and policy magazine The New Republic and a freelance feature writer for publications such as Rolling Stone, Harper's and George.
		"Christensen is terrific as the deceptively boyish Glass, and his performance confirms the notion that people who act badly in George Lucas movies (he's Anakin Skywalker) aren't bad actors, they're just in George Lucas movies."
		"Ray stages the film not as a mystery but as a case study in all-consuming denial and professional and psychological self-destruction."
