That just reminds me of the director of The Exhorsist bursting in on the actors, screaming, and pointing a shotgun at them. He did that to get a genuine look of terror, which was pretty creative thinking from him.

Did anyone ever see a film called American Movie? It's a documentary about a guy making a horror film called Coven and it's pretty funny. There's a lot of similar incidents in there. Particularly one where they don't make the balsa wood thin enough on one of the doors for a scene and they really have to work at smashing the actor's head through it.

Yeah I saw that! With his fat friend Mike who was on another f**king planet :D

And the quality acting of his uncle "It's alright, it's ok, everything's gonna be ok Jesus told me soooooooo"

That sounds excellent.

Accused killer wanted to be cooked and eaten, court told

By Mike McIntyreDecember 4, 2008

WINNIPEG - Accused killer Sydney Teerhuis claims he was fascinated with death and carefully plotted out his own demise in a bizarre arrangement with a Vancouver man.

Winnipeg jurors have learned this week that Teerhuis allegedly agreed to be murdered and cannibalized while living out west in 2001. He claims they went and purchased a massive pressure cooker, a large amount of sleeping pills and even selected a specific date.

"I told him the only way I'd do it is if he kept all my bones in a trunk under his bed," Teerhuis, 39, wrote in one of several graphic letters which have now been shown to jurors as part of his second-degree murder trial for the July 2003 dismemberment killing of Robin Greene inside Winnipeg's Royal Albert Hotel.

Teerhuis said the plan fell through when the man abruptly changed his mind and returned to his native India.

"I still think about him every now and then and hope someday I will run into him so he can cook me," Teerhuis wrote. He said he later ran the idea by a former roommate of his who was living in Edmonton but it never materialized.

"I will wait to find the right man or men who'd be willing to have me on their dinner table," Teerhuis added.

Teerhuis wrote the letters to Dan Zupansky, a freelance Winnipeg journalist who established contact with him following Greene's killing. Zupansky will be called by the Crown to testify next week.

Teerhuis also claims to have frequently scoured the obituaries of young men who had recently died while he was living in Vancouver and working as a chef.

"I would go to their graves. Only once did I dig a grave and open a coffin," Teerhuis wrote.

Teerhuis had admitted to having sex with Greene both before and after he stabbed him 68 times, cut his body into eight pieces, and removed all his organs. The two men were strangers, having met earlier that night in a seedy bar.

Teerhuis's letters are a key piece of evidence in the Crown's case. Teerhuis is claiming he has no memory of the killing, that he blacked out after a night of drinking and woke to find the grisly scene. He doesn't dispute killing Greene but claims he couldn't have formed the necessary intent to prove murder. Instead, he is seeking a manslaughter conviction.

However, Teerhuis writes extensively and explicitly about every phase of the killing in the letters.

Winnipeg police Const. Sylvia Schroeder was the first officer to deal with Teerhuis after he walked into the Remand Centre and confessed to the killing on the morning of July 2. She told jurors Thursday that Teerhuis didn't appear to be intoxicated.

Dianne Last, a bartender at the Royal Albert, had served Teerhuis a beer on the afternoon of July 1. She recognized him as the man who'd moved in about two months earlier.

"He looked fine to me," Last said in response to the Crown's question about whether Teerhuis appeared drunk.

She saw Teerhuis return to the hotel later that afternoon with a man she now knows to be Greene. She said Greene appeared to be "swaying" as they headed upstairs to Teerhuis's room.

Blood tests on his remains show Greene's blood alcohol was nearly four times the legal limit when he was killed. His body also showed no defensive wounds.

The trial continues Monday.

F**king mentalist Europeans.

F**king mentalist Europeans.

Is that a play on Steve Coogan?

Not as far as I'm aware.

The word Mentalist from his show Alan Partridge. When his fan is after him? Great episode.

Oh right, I think someone mentioned that recently.

Well, no. It wasn't.

I think that's where a lot of people (including me) first heard the word. But now it's just another word that everyone uses.

For Aaron:

LOS ANGELES - They serve fast food, but they're slow learners.

Four months after a Burger King employee lost his job for taking a bubble bath in a restaurant sink, three scantily clad teens were fired when they turned a basin at their northern California KFC into their personal hot tub.

They landed in hot water with the chicken chain's management when one of the bikini-clad dimwits made the same mistake as the Ohio Burger King employee - she posted photos of the dippy escapade on MySpace.

The photos included captions such as "haha KFC showers!" and "haha we turned on the jets," and were filed under a gallery called "KFC moments," according to the Record Searchlight newspaper in Redding, Calif.

I once told that to a lady when working at a gas station who demanded 10 'bonus bucks' (the company funny money) because I had forgot to ask her if she wanted her oil changed.
