Enough with the gritty crime dramas set in gritty Southie and gritty Dorchester

Jason begins to grow weary upon learning all those production trucks he's seen on E. 8th St. and Dot. Ave. are for yet another gritty crime flick (directed by yet another, no doubt gritty, local):

... Hollywood, how about changing it up a bit? We're not all about working class gritty streets. I bet you can find a romantic feel-good comedy script that needs a backdrop of triple deckers. How about a woman scored movie in some of our new loft condos? A Disney High School Musical-esque teen flick about summers at Castle Island? Now there's a real money maker.

Ooh, how about a gritty love story involving a gritty genius kid from Southie who falls in love with an upper-crust British woman at Harvard? Boffo at the box office! What? It's been done?

If (when) a film is make of Stephen King's cell-phone zombie book "Cell", about half of it will be set in gritty Malden.
