Bad Cop No Donut

You know how I hate tasers

Saw this on the front page of Google today and it's another incident of abuse of tasing.
I hate tasers. I think it's the stupidest weapon the police have ever been given, because since it doesn't have the stigma of a gun, cops feel it's ok to abuse the shit out of it.

Here's the whole article

Tasing

The most fucked up quote is this:

"The only thing he could have done other than to say, 'OK, we're going to let you go' is to beat him or Tase him. He did the right thing," Terrell said.

WTF? Is a petty drug dealer really worth killing?

The police officer has only now been fired because out of the 14 incidents of tasing from this particular station in Louisiana 10, yes 10! Have been by this one officer.

fuck this.

Fremde Haut

Good flick we just checked out (was made in 05 though).
The English name is Unveiled, but the original name Fremde Haut is way cooler sounding, let's face it.

Main character Fariba Tabrizi seeks asylum in Germany to avoided being persecuted in Iran for a lesbian relationship. After numerous failed attempts Fariba takes on the identity of a dead man to get in and that's how the story unfolds.

I just fell in love with Germany, so I might be a little biased on saying this film is good, but I think it holds it's own in the drama category. Jasmin Tabatabai (who plays Fariba) does an outstanding job and it's shot with such detail, any filmmaker could appreciate it for that if the story can lag in parts.

The Dark Knight

Was nothing short of fantastic! And yes Heath Ledger (rip) stole the show. I haven't seen anyone jump into character like that since Johnny Depp took Jack Sparrow and just ran with it. Christian Bale was excellent as always, but what's with the over the top voice disguise? We all know Batman has to throw his voice a bit, but it sounded like he couldn't breathe through the plastic over his nose on the mask. I don't want to throw out spoilers, I want everyone to see this film some way some how.

Made 158 million dollars over the weekend as well. Not to shabby. HA!
