Not Made In Maryland

Just so you know, the movie Annapolis - which opened in theaters yesterday - is bogus, apocryphal, as phony as a $3 bill.

I will boycott this movie.

The movie was filmed in Philadelphia not our fair capital by the Bay and the Blue Angels streak over Founder's Hall at Girard College not Bancroft Hall at the U.S. Naval Academy. There's absolutely no way I can watch the City of Brotherly Love masquerade as Maryland's Colonial-era capital. Bah.

Evidently the producers were ready to shoot in the real Annapolis but financial incentives from Pennsylvania and disagreement with US Navy officials over the portrayal of Academy life led to the change in location. Nevertheless, as a Marylander I just won't spend my hard-earned money on a movie that is so fundamentally endemic to Maryland yet contains such an egregious swindle at its core.

And its Tomatometer reading is 9 percent. There is justice.
