“Red State” (2011) Director: Kevin Smith
“Agent Carol: The trumpet blast, what was it really?
Joseph Keenan: Oh, that. Well some new neighbors, these eco kids from the university with a compost collective - they’ve got an acre off of the ass end of the Five Point property, other side of the hill. Abin’s been giving them a bunch of guff because of the smell of the compost.
Agent Hammond: Was it bad?
Joseph Keenan: [laughs] Gets so you could taste it. But Abin’s been harassing these kids, sending some of his bigger boys over to bitch at first, maybe break a window or two. Then I guess they went old school - lots of sugar in gas tanks, burning bags of dog shit.
Agent Carol: The college kids?
Joseph Keenan: No, that was Cooper and his church. The eco kids never so much as called the cops. They got creative instead. They thought it’d be funny to take a page out of Revelations and get Cooper and his family’s hopes up with the trumpets. So they got this big-ass rusty old siren from a fire house that just got a new one. The fire chief said they could take the damn thing so long as they carted it off, it’s as big as a Mini Cooper. So they trucked this thing down to their compost collective, they put it in a barn, they hook it up to an iPod of all things. And they played these single note trumpet blasts they pulled off the Internet.
Agent Hammond: And they had no idea that you were even there?
Joseph Keenan: [shrugs] Just dumb luck…”Rating: ★★☆☆☆
