Invasion Iowa

In case you weren’t sure Riverside, Iowa (pop. 928) is the future birthplace of James T. Kirk (yes, that’s really their claim to fame). So it’s not so strange when William Shatner comes to town to film a science fiction movie. Of course he needs some townspeople to play parts. THe eccentric William Shatner brought his (no such a) body double, his “shats” (red, green or yellow berets) that he’s about to market, his spiritual advisor and a horrible script for Invasion Iowa. The most important part is — he’s not really making a movie, it’s a reality/hoax show. I’ve startied watching the first episode, it’s kind of fun so far. It’s on SpikeTV all this week.
