That is the only reason Charlize Theron, the woman who can wreck anything, even the perfection that is Aeon Flux, I would even want her to be interested in doing this.
Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron is set to star in her boyfriend Stuart Townsend’s directorial debut Battle in Seattle.
Her boyfriend has gulped down a couple full bottles of the Kool-Aid and thinks that the 1999Â WTOÂ looting rampage/protest is cinematic material. $20 says he takes the side of the looters.
I found this at the local Sound Politics blog, where it was mentioned that then King County Sherriff, now Republican Congressman Dave Reichert, challenged then Mayor Paul Schell’s pathetic response to the pillaging and the lack of support he gave his city police department.
What they didn’t mention was that now Republican Congressman Dave Reichert was not in his comfy office taking reports from underlings who wanted to keep him happy, he was on the ground, in uniform (with no riot gear on) chasing down looters in cowboy boots.
The man has the big brass ones, which was why I was sad to see him leave the Sheriff’s Deptarment. I’ve got a few stories about the man that you couldn’t pull out of him because he is just that modest.
I have no doubt that it’ll be unmitigated bullshit– as someone who was on the ground there and watched a lot of it happen (not as a protestor, but I worked down there and walked around for two hours and saw the initiation of force by the anarchists around noon), I not only agree with you wholeheartedly about who encouraged it (cough, Democrats), but it’s just a boring tale.
The riots got me stuck down there, which got me laid, so I have fairly fond memories of the whole thing, despite the BS involved.
Charlize sounds like a French Charlie. Is she French?
