Before last night's screening of SIFF's opening film Battle in Seattle, amidst all the self-congratulatory speeches, Mayor Nickels remarked that the 1999 WTO riots are "strongly rooted in the fabric of our city" and that every Seattleite would be well-served to have their feelings of the events "validated by an outside perspective." We'd be apt to agree---if only the outside perspective that followed wasn't such ham-handed dreck.

That Seattle WTO movie that's filming in Vancouver will allegedly shoot at least a few frames in Seattle proper this weekend. Here's an excerpt from the call for extras from the Washington State Jobs with Justice that's making the rounds:

We're anxiously awaiting the 2008 movie based on the WTO events in Seattle, although we hope "The Battle in Seattle" is only a working title. They're filming right now, but don't rush to the window hoping for a glimpse of one of the stars - We think they're in Vancouver.
