So this is happening
Already buckling my seatbelt
OK no shit it just opened with stock footage of the White House, an eagle, the Washington Monument, and the Statue of Liberty before doing a broken film reel effect
"what's the point of running all these initiatives... so thank god we have a tim eyman" what
FLAMING TEXT DOT COM
"Just the fact that the B&O tax is on the books... is regressive and aggressive as it can get" this guy from permanent offense has no imagination
"[the state] never want[s] you to look at the overall burdens that you pay" says eyman
wait this movie thinks we have income taxes AND capital gains taxes???
"economics are the key to all freedom...taxes are one way of the government controlling us" so close
ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED THEREAFTER IS ANYONE'S GUESS!!!!!!!!! NO PUBLIC RECORDS!!!!!!!! NO MORE MEETINGS! BAM! JOURNALISMED! TRANSIT RUN BY ONE BIG YAKKETY SAX
this guy somehow not identified as the owner of a signature-gathering firm
"[The legislature says] the voters didn't reject the stadium. They rejected the financing plan... that's hogwash" says guy who makes his money getting whatever the fuck on the ballot someone with money wants to be on the ballot.
Oh good Mori Donson joined this interview party
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA STARTED PLAYING OVER STOCK VIDEO OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING THEN IT SAID "TIM EYMAN" ON A BLACK SCREEN AND NOW IT'S JUST SLOW-MO TIM EYMAN IN BLACK AND WHITE FOR LIKE TWO MINUTES
"Thank god we have Tim Eyman" says... ?????
"That's not a WASL question"
ok also is tim eyman being interviewed in the business center of a holiday inn
larry gossett is interviewed but it's just like, one sentence acknowledging that initiatives exist
it's funny how much time they give to people on the street interviews like Guy In Hawaiian Shirt At Green Lake Park and Guy With No Shirt On Because ????
deadass playing pachelbel's canon over this tim eyman stump and stock photos of I-695 signs
i screenshotted this expecting some caption to come to me but i am at a loss

"IF ALL THE CAR TABS WENT TO THE ROAD WE COULD HAVE GOLD-LINED ROADS! WE *COULD HAVE.* *GOLD-LINED ROADS.*"
they interviewed this child on the street saying that newspaper editorials are not supposed to be opinionated
busy day at the park
they just ran the WASL joke clip again ha ha ha
where did they get this lithograph of gary locke as an opulent victorian child
tim eyman going on like "people ask me where the fat [in government spending] is and i just picture a flabby sweaty guy asking where's the fat" and @Erotolepsy just heckled back "that chair you're sitting on? you can steal it! from the store!!!"
michael medved's mise-en-scene is lacking
"they get 365 days a year we get one... god forbid the unwashed masses have some voice in public policy" excuse me tim the legislative session is 105 days
i haven't commented on BJ Shea being one of the major interviews on this thing but rest assured he is the chaotic neutral of this whole effort

also i think they're using him as an anti-eyman counterweight which is... hm
here's where we're at
wait wait this came out in 2007-2008 but they're interviewing pam roach in 2003?
some deep pam roach humor here
