Fulltime Killer

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 12-10-2007

I love this damn movie.

Cheun jik sat sau, Quan zhi sha shou or Fulltime Killer.

Doesn’t matter which language you speak. It’s groovy.

Yes, indeedy.

It’s awesome, if you dig this sort of thing.

And, I do.

(The Bill Clinton mask is brilliant.)

Andy Lau, you so rock.

An Odd Tale With Harlan Ellison, Josh Olson and A Very Sad Tale Of The Internet

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 12-10-2007

This is a bizarre tale. As a fan of Harlan Ellison, I had to check it out:

I called Harlan. He understands people like no one you’ve ever met. We were at dinner once, and he started chatting with two biker dudes at the table next to us for a couple minutes. He asked one guy, “How long have you played chess?” The guy was stunned. Harlan had deduced from the way the guy carried himself in idle banter that he was a chess player. I’m pretty good at figuring out what makes people tick — you have to be to be a decent writer — but Harlan knows. He thought my plan was pretty solid, but offered one variant on it that was brilliant, and completely out of left field.

From Boing Boing.

Now, if you read this from LA Weekly, it is more than Harlan Ellison. It’s a bizarre tale from screenwriter Josh Olson who wrote “The History of Violence” and it’s the oddest damn thing I’ve read in awhile. Stick with it, it’s odd and strange and very weird about the internet and very sad, weird people who go so damn far and there is an element that they don’t care how far they go.

Jeez.

And wow. More than freaky.

Jose Luis Calva, Modern-Day Cannibal?

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 12-10-2007

Whoa.

An aspiring horror novelist was arrested after police discovered his girlfriend’s torso in his closet, a leg in the refrigerator and bones in a cereal box, the city prosecutor’s spokesman said Thursday.

Nearby they found the draft of a novel titled “Cannibalistic Instincts,” said the official, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity.

Jose Luis Calva told police he had boiled some of his girlfriend’s flesh but that he hadn’t eaten it, the spokesman said.

HE BOILED HIS GIRLFRIEND’S FLESH BUT DIDN’T EAT IT!!

A cereal box?  I guess that’s as good of a place as any.

Man, oh man. If you head over to the story on CNN, there is an AP photo of Calva being treated by paramedics because he tried to run away and apparently was “run over by a car.”

This is too bizarre.

Ann Coulter Does It Again

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 12-10-2007

I don’t even know why I’m writing this but I just do not understand why people even interview Ann Coulter. It’s like interviewing a screaming monkey. The monkey just screams, is loud and doesn’t make a bit of sense. Of course, monkeys also fling poo and that’s what Coulter does verbally.

I don’t thing she is getting the big gigs as much as she used to but I honestly have an Ann Coulter sort of radar in my head these days that I just tune her out so quickly that she could be on 17 hours a day and my brain just won’t register her.

I’ve trained myself to do amazing things with my brain. I should get a patent and become a life coach.

With that said, if Coulter truly believes she can get away with saying the crap she said last night on the Donnie Deutsch show, than she is truly delusional. She throws verbal pipe bombs out about the Jewish faith and then is surprised that people are offended. Puh-lease, Ann. You gross me out, but you aren’t stupid.

Free publicity once again and Coulter lives by the old motto of “There is no bad publicity.”

Remember, she’s said things before, book sales go threw the roof and Fox News lets her come on to yell shrilly at anyone who doesn’t agree with her. She lives for controversy.

It makes her money. 

And, she has a new book out, campers.

I’m seeing a pattern here, aren’t you?

Sharon Cobb doesn’t mince words here.
