While waiting for Emmanuelle to start on Skin-a-Max, I saw a UAish little
movie on cable.  Here's the IMDB link: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0159364

This Canadian movie is about an occult loser thief who nabs a magic book for
his murderous patron.  During the heist he kills the owner and leaves the
body with his uptight brother and his internet-porn addicted rommie.  On the
way to make the delivery, his car breaks down and he has to get help from a
female mechanic with lots of baggage.  Lots of weirdness ensues, especially
when people start reading the Book.

Paradoxes:
A Bibliophile who refuses to read.
A Mechanic who refuses to ride inside cars (this becomes a problem for her
kidnappers when they are forced to drive slowly while she walks outside the
car).

Cameo:
Tom Green as The Computer Gimp(!) who throws a fit when someone dares bring
a book into his cybercafe.

Things that happen just as PCs would try to do them:
Attempt made to hide a corpse by blowing it up with dynamite on a beach
Tazering a Priest when caught in the apparent act of necrophilia
Using a Prince song for a eulogy at Skinhead funeral service

It's pretty wild, check it out.
