The banishment of Fox 411 gossip Roger Friedman from seeing Tom Cruise's Hitler flick Valkyrie and the actor's amends with Matt Lauer aren't the only blights on pop culture the film is inflicting! Anti-Scientology protest group Anonymous, hoping for a feel good afternoon of waving "Free Suri!" signage, could barely muster up the proper means to exercise their First Amendment, leaving yesterday's premiere day protest something to be desired. How did L. Ron Hubbard's troops mess with destiny? By "disguising" the location of Valkyrie's premiere.

Reports The Scoop's Courtney Hazlett: "For starters, just hours before the premiere, group organizers realized that the event’s location was at Jazz at Lincoln Center, which is actually located at the Time Warner Center and not in Lincoln Center itself as they’d thought. The difference of a few blocks meant a difference in police precinct jurisdictions, which in turn meant that they had to scramble to get a permit from the police to allow their protest (in the end, they did get their permit). One source close to the premiere planning says that the choice to hold it at Jazz at Lincoln Center was made in part because it would be more difficult to protest — the location doesn’t allow for a big outdoor red carpet. [...] The net result: Anonymous, along with a German camera crew that followed the group to the protest and plans to air their footage in a documentary in early 2009, gathered at the premiere 'but Tom never came out to talk to us,' according to one protester. 'That said, I think we stood around, and were able to get our message out about Scientology peacefully.'"
