(okay now the movie is seriously pissing me off. Because FUCKING SCHELL. There is a REASON the voters, using Greg Nickels, kicked his ass.) Do tell. Is Liotta's douchebag character accurate?
I just thought Schell was REALLY fucking inept and out of touch (cliche, but true!) with what was good for the city and the people IN the city. Seriously, for months people knew WTO protests were going down and they were going to be big, even people like me who were not plugged in and knew nothing, and he just stalled until the last possible moment and then panicked and pulled out the fucking jackboot tactics (and he did the same fucking thing wrt Mardi Gras -- only in the opposite reaction, stalled until the last possible moment and then did fucking nothing). It takes real talent to piss off BOTH the anti-protest crowds and the people working downtown who were looking at clouds of tear gas going ten, twenty stories up (my husband saw that) and going 'Hey wait, freedom of assembly....' I don't think he was so much a douchebag as a total complete and fucking idiot.
What, not NIKETOWN? I think it's supposed to be the GAP but they were afraid of getting sued.
....AHAHAHA. Because man, it was ALL FUCKING OVER when the black bloccers (if it was even them, I think it was just some asshole who stole letters for a souvenir and sold them later) got the NIKETOWN sign. It was all over the local media for fucking weeks. You would have thought Disneyland had been firebombed or some fucking thing. (The argument was Schell really went down to die politically not because he violated the civil rights of everyone like in the entire fucking state of Washington practically but because he let the violence get in the way of the real business of downtown Seattle -- tourist shopping! Ha. Goodbye, corporate money.) (And he wasn't our Giuliani, that was Mark Sidran, who is a scary little fucker.)
Jay does not die. But there is something you'll like a lot in the last installment.

I didn't see it. Should I?
HAHAHA NO. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469641/ (Disclosure: I saw like fifteen minutes of it via On Demand or something.. AW. FUL.)
