Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I can easily let Jean-Pierre Melville sit around the house because I'm just not in the mood for him.

I'm like that, too, sometimes. I try to alternate Melville (or Bresson, who I love but have to be in the mood for*) with tv on dvd.

* I use him as an example, because I held on to Au Hazard Balthazar for something like 6 weeks before I had the time and right mental state for a movie with a saintly donkey for a protagonist.

Now I'm imagining a mash-up of the two: DIARY OF A COUNTRY FLAMBEUR.

Or, knowing Corwood's taste in directors: Sam Peckinpah's MOUCHETTE.

Would that be like Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days?

Probably more violent.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Salad shooter days, then?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

NEW YORK Ann Coulter is no stranger to controversy, but her latest adventures have several newspapers questioning whether carrying her syndicated column is worth the trouble. The Shreveport (La.) Times is currently leaving the decision of whether or not to keep Coulter up to its readers. But the first newspaper to officially drop Coulter’s column since the latest uproar began seems to be The Gazette of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she had appeared for about 14 months.

...

However, Neumann surmised that Coulter’s incendiary book may have played an “indirect” role in the final decision. “I think it was the book that began to unwind support among her readers,” Neumann explained.

“Liberals have never liked her, and we’ve always gotten complaints [from them]. But the complaints that mattered the most were from the conservative readers,” who felt that their views were being misrepresented.

What, they don't care about complaints from liberals, but if conservatives complain they gotta do something?
