Dictators On Screen by ???

With Sacha Baron Cohen donning a crazy beard and military garb for his new flick 'The Dictator', it is only fitting to take a look back at some of the other great portrayals of dictators throughout history. This cartoon styled drawing ran on the National Post's website a few days back, yet they don't give the artist/creator credit ANYWHERE on the site. What's up with that??? (If anybody knows the artist responsible for this awesome piece, please leave a comment and let me know so I can give proper credit) Anyway, take a second and click after the jump to see this wonderful peace in full size.

Daniele Rizzo Is The Greatest Press Junket Reporter Of All Time... Just Look & See For Yourself!!!

Press Junkets are organized interview events where a large contingent of the people involved in making the movie (actors, actresses, directors, producers,etc ) meet with groups of press in a single location. This helps with coordinating promotional interviews with multiple press organizations, especially when in foreign countries. At these press junkets reporters must do something to stand out amongst the throngs of people lobbing similiar questions at these casts... Enter Daniele Rizzo, a reporter from Germany. Daniele involves costumes & questions that often leave his interview subjects laughing hysterically and loving every second of the time they spend with him. This guy is out of control... and I mean that in the best way possible. Click here to go to his Youtube channel to see all of his interviews, but click after the jump to see some of my faves involving the cast of The Avengers, Sacha Baron Cohen, the cast of Chronicle, and Barry Sonnenfeld....

The Oscars Sucked Balls... But Sacha Baron Cohen Gets The Last Laugh!!!

The Oscars were soooo boring last night that I actually fell asleep... and I do not mean that figuratively! I literally passed out a bit after Octavia Spencer won her Best supporting Actress award and woke up right before The Artist won Best Picture. For those of you keeping score, that means the Oscar broadcast put me in a coma for approximetly  2 hours. I am no expert, but I DO NOT think that the goal of the show is to induce sleep in it's viewers... but I digress. The show is a mess, and even though I swore I wouldn't watch it  I was right there up until I passed out. For a movie lover like me, this is disheartening. Someone like me should be looking forward to the Oscars, but with the slights of epic movies/acting performances (Drive, Bridesmaids, The Muppets, Tin Tin, Harry Potter VII and Ryan Gosling all caught multiple hoses in the nomination process) and the lame ass actual show I am no longer anticipating the show anymore. But leave it to Sacha Baron Cohen to semi save the night and make it something more than a total loss. Click after the jump for what Cohen did on the Red Carpet that most people didn't even see...



Sacha Baron Cohen has a long history of acting up at Award Shows, and the Oscars tried to limit his antics by telling him he was not allowed to attend the ceremony dressed as the character from his new upcoming movie "The Dictator". They were afraid he would use this costume as an opportunity to do something crazy. After taking lots of flack for telling someone what to wear on the Red Carpet, the Oscar crew relented and allowed him to attend the show in costume. Then this happened on the Carpet:



Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Cohen dumped Kim Jong Il's ashes all over Ryan Seacrest, ruining his tux for the rest of the pre game show and maybe even the show itself. Judging by Seacrest's reserved yet pissed off reactions after the ashing took place, I do not think he was privy to the joke. Good for Cohen... who got the last laugh now Academy? It's sad when some pre show shenanigans are the most interesting thing to talk about after a 3 hour plus award show... get it together Oscars!!!!
