gordonzolaOh man, I can't wait for this. It's going to be horrible and fun at the same time. I can feel both the urge to cringe and the urge to fuck shit up! Hopefully we can see a double feature with the new animated Chicago 8 movie. Either way we must be a forceful presence on opening night.
Yes, it's a movie about the Seattle WTO 1999!

sabotabby and sadie_sabot beat me to linking this but I will happily join the viral marketing campaign. Commentary on their journals is worth reading. But I'll say here what I said there:
Thank god the got the part right about all of us following the leader with the bad facial hair. I was afraid they'd leave that part out.

Date: 2008-05-20 06:55 pm (UTC)Seriously, that was one of the best PA jobs I've ever had, definitely in my Top 10 jobs of a lifetime, and 95% of that was because of Tia's field producing skills. I'm so glad her work is starting to get the recognition it deserves!

Date: 2008-05-20 07:19 pm (UTC)My personal favorite WTO moment was watching the reporter from the Economist stepping over sleeping crusties at the convergence center. I wonder if she got scabies!

Date: 2008-05-21 12:29 am (UTC)it was also amusing because the closet thing vancouver has to black bloq (or direct action of any kind) is the anti-povery committee who regularly stage tiny little protests in the same area & seem to be heavily scorned by just about everybody.

Date: 2008-05-21 05:25 pm (UTC)What I do remember:
I had to find a different way to ride my bike to work once shit got crazy because the curfew zone extended all the way to Denny.
Owning, not just wearing, a gas mask in the Seattle city limits was illegal.
I had tickets to a WTO Protest show at The Showbox that got rescheduled for a day later due to the curfew zone.
Here is an article about it:

Date: 2008-05-24 10:37 pm (UTC)You ever read a newspaper article about something you were a part of, or that quotes someone you know, and you realize just how shit the news is, because it wasn't like that at *all* and the quote is completely out of context? This is like that. But with a soundtrack.
holy shit!
Date: 2008-05-25 06:25 pm (UTC)The police shot and killed an alleged burgalar in the apt building next door to me that weekend! I never could find any info on it. But it was scary and weird.
