From Darmstadter Rockrimmon the Younger:
China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission.
EDIT:
DRtY and I went to go see the recently released movie Shoot 'Em Up today.
In the opening scene, the main character, Mr. Smith, delivers a baby in a shootout then cuts the umbilical chord by firing a bullet through it. The script writes itself from there.
"Writes" might be an overstatement.
But I'm pretty sure some new ground was broken in the film. Carrots play a major role in the action, for some reason; one of the first causalities in the film is told, in that way people in action movies tell things to people once they are already dead or dying, to "eat [his] veggies."
Much later in the film, there is a scene in which Mr. Smith shoots the many gunmen leaking through every aperture of his abode whilst banging Monica Bellucci. Has that been done before? As a scene, it basically epitomizes everything an action movie wants to be. I'm not sure how one could top it. Incidentally, Bellucci plays a lactating whore.
The movie has rabid pro- gun control political themes.
