Douchebags and their fixies ruin everything.

They only do it one Friday a month!

That was funny. The computers that stay connected and have that nifty Richter readout are not to be believed... ;-)

Still dumb. Why did this video resurface?

Why is it in these movies, when people are fleeing buildings falling directly along their line of retreat, they never think to, oh, I don't know, turn down a side street and go another direction?

I watched that shitty movie...I laughed my ass off at their re-creation of their version of Seattle.

almost as delighful as the "Capitol Hill Zoo" in that awful Angelina Jolie movie or the Rose Red house that took up aproximately 850 acres of Capitol Hill.

But my favorite Seattle-ism in film is the fact that every Seattle set movie has to feature a character using the Monorail as mass transit to commute to work...

Has anyone talked to Shia LeBeoufs people?

@7,

Fuck that. How about the residents of Seattle who use the ferry to commute... to Seattle?

I watched this entire movie too. It was a two parter and the two parts were clearly filmed months apart. The female lead put on about 40 pounds from one scene to the next.

Nature abhors a douchebag cyclist.

10.5 is so good.

Wasn't this exact same video on Slog two years ago? Early-onset Alzheimer's? Pot?

@2- That's clearly a bike with a freewheel. A "dirtjump/urban/park single speed hardtail" to be precise.

I'd rock it.

At least the producers were good enough to crush the cyclist.

As a geoscientist this hurts so so badly.

The best 'Seattle' movie has got to be Firewall with Harrison Ford. It rains NON-STOP from start to finish. Torrential rain too...not even the kind we really get in Seattle.

Posted by Gregus on December 1, 2009 at 1:17 PM

@10: at least the weight gain is realistic.

douchebag bicyclist

What's with the stutter?

Posted by Sili on December 1, 2009 at 2:15 PM

That totally happened to me on the Burke-Gilman this morning.

Posted by FixieFox on December 1, 2009 at 3:25 PM

I feel like that often here in Seattle after a night out. All shaken up and thrown down.

Posted by Sargon Bighorn on December 1, 2009 at 6:43 PM

I know a lot of Sloggers aren't up on Seattle or physics but, I like to point out the Space Needle is a steel sculpture and would not crumble unless frozen to kelvin.
