It really bothers me we moviemakers use standin cities in their movies, and this weekend’s Live Free or Die Hard in an absolute travesty. DC Is represented by a number of cities that are nothing like DC with giant buildings, a DC where 14th street is an alley, where no quadrants are used, where FBI HQ is actually attractive.
It really amazes me when you go to a flick where the milieu is so important and yet so abjectly broken.
Damn if I don’t hate the movies sometimes.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
