Kevin Smith and Johnny Depp Team for Action-Adventure 'Yoga Hosers' (Exclusive) - Hollywood Reporter: "Hosers, written by Smith, centers on 15-year-old yoga nuts Colleen Collette (Lily-Rose Depp) and Colleen McKenzie (Harley Quinn Smith), who have an after-school job at a Manitoba convenience store called Eh-2-Zed. When an ancient evil rises from beneath Canada’s crust and threatens their big invitation to a Grade 12 party, the Colleens join forces with a legendary man-hunter from Montreal named Guy Lapointe (Depp) to fight for their lives with, according to the producers, “all seven Chakras, one Warrior Pose at a time.”
Smith, a comic book geek who has written titles for Marvel and DC and who once wrote a Superman movie script, said he considers this his entree into the comic book movie genre. “People always ask me 'Are you ever going to make a comic book movie?' " Smith said. "This is it — but instead of yet another dude saving the day, our antiheroes are the most feared and formidable creatures man has ever encountered: two 15-year-old girls.”"
Militarized cops: arms dealers bribed Congress to ramboize Barney Fife - Boing Boing: "The 355 Congresscreeps who voted to continue Program 1033 (through which the military buys war-weapons at full retail, then gives them away free to local cops) accepted 73 percent more campaign donations from defense industry sources than the opposition. More than 8,000 feds/state/local and tribal forces have armed up since the program started in the 1990s."
Just Wait Until Ferguson Police Get Federally Funded Drones - Reason.com: "...maybe it's not too early to wonder: When, exactly, did the United States become a banana republic? "Why armored vehicles in a Midwestern inner suburb?" asks my Cato Institute colleague Walter Olson. What could possibly justify police "red-dotting" peaceful protesters with laser sights, or an attempted head-shot, with a tear gas canister, at a man standing in his own yard, insisting, "this [is] my property!"? Here you can watch police fumigate a news crew and take down their cameras — then chase off the other journalists filming the assault."
"WENDY: Is it true what you said? That if there’s one thing you hate more than scientists trying to take over the world, it’s scientists who twist innocent primates with computer enhanced mind control to live out their sick and perverted fantasies of criminal power?
THE MIDDLEMAN: Why would I lie about that?
WENDY: It’s a very specific thing to hate.
THE MIDDLEMAN: Self-knowledge is the gateway to freedom."
