Charlize Theron, the actress who screwed up Aeon Flux so badly that I couldn’t even stand the trailers, is in town this weekend, along with uber-dipshit Woody Harrelson, to cut some film for their latest turd on celluloid, “The Battle in Seattle”, about the 1999 WTO riots.
You can read the puffpiece about it here, including this bullshit line
According to Insight’s Web site, the script tells the story from the perspective of protestors, police and politicians and is careful not to take sides.
I mean, they have Ray Liotta playing “The Mayor” but they don’t name the character in the movie because they either forgot or didn’t bother interviewing Fuck-Up-In-Chief at the time, Paul Schell.
I would have at least liked them to have interviewed former King County Sheriff and current US Representative for the 8th District of Washington State, Dave Reichert. He was down there sans body armor and shield, kicking ass and taking names in his Tony Lama cowboy boots. If I remember correctly, he personally chased down, detained and arrested around two dozen looters that afternoon.
I seriously doubt the current “Sheriff” would have even bother to leave her executive office.
On a truly hilarious note, most of this movie has been shot in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Not only that, but the local Teamsters Union (including a couple of the guys who drive for my company) will be protesting the movie about protesters. Why?
Because the production company brought non-union truck drivers down with them from Canada and won’t be using local union labor. Costs too much.
Irony is a dish best served a day late and reheated in the microwave.
