 DE-tro-IT
if detroit's media-landscape was the key to unfold our approach, we had to define the media-landmarks: in addition to the four corporate "media money machines" television, music, film, and videogames, we were also interested in p2p file sharing, music fraud, music labels, detroit based brands, as well as detroit's media attention profile.
therefore detroit's data would always be compared with the largest metropolitan areas or cities on each continent, lesser focused booming cities, and a choice of ghost-towns and shrinking cities.
According to the movie scene, besides movies with shooting locations in Detroit, the image of Detroit in the movies was of particular interest to us, as well as the years when movie making started, vanished and restarted again.

 CNN - Review: 'Detroit Rock City' -- rebels without a brain - August 31, 1999
If you're looking for a hugely idiotic movie that's written and directed by virtual no-talents, make a beeline to see "Detroit Rock City." Set in 1978, this is the story of four pot-smoking Cleveland teens who face numerous unamusing obstacles on a road trip to see a Kiss concert in Michigan.
In "Detroit Rock City," anyone who isn't a Kiss fan -- or, worse yet, anyone who likes disco -- is presented in the same manner as Jeremiah's mother.
"Detroit Rock City" is not to be confused with Tennessee's Rock City, which you'll find advertised on birdhouses around the country.

When I first saw “The Longest Yard” as a kid it started off as a hard movie where Burt Reynolds pushes a woman down to the floor by her face, harasses a cop by joshing on his height, and eventually getting busted by the cops after an intense car chase.
But it did, and “The Longest Yard” was one of the more entertaining of sports movies of all-time full of humor and that “underdog” thing that movies have used ad nauseam since it came out in 1974.
