Deja vu?

I guess they just don't want to get bombed. Maybe they should put Frank Drebin on security detail.

Allow him to at least show up as a normal person first- if they see him in the coming out of the car as his character then escort him away. Otherwise if its just him dressed in a normal clothing attire and his wife Fisher then just let them in.

problem solved.

Didn't need another reason to not watch it, but OK... whatever

Does Hollywood actively try to make the Oscars boring and unwatchable? Because as it is, it's just a bunch of Hollywood insiders kissing each others asses, and unfortunately not in the literal sense (as that might be at least somewhat entertaining.)

Waiting patiently for sasha cohen or isla fisher pics

Regardless whether i like him or think he's funny, the Oscars should not be used to push an agenda, whether that be political (Brando, Redgrave, Gere), or promotional (Sasha Baren Cohen). Its about recognizing the nominees, and to abuse that exposure for any other purpose is to imply that you are bigger than the Academy, in which case, don't come if you think that.

Mugato: MrEricSir: Does Hollywood actively try to make the Oscars boring and unwatchable?

No, it's incidental.

As Mozart said "I write as a sow piddles."

I suspect that part of the Academy's problem is that he wants to use his red carpet time as a pure movie promotion. If he were successful, then the marketing idiots would require all the stars to dress in costume to promote their movies, too. The red carpet part of the evening is currently a profit making fashion show for then networks, but that would quickly become a long series of commercials which people would ignore. I think it's a pretty smart decision on their part.

TheSignPost: Sure, whatever. I think he's a dick.

This too.

Exactly. Hire a better publicist and STFU.

I actually disagree with you when it comes to the award winners. They took the prize, they get their 45 seconds to say what they want to say to the whole country. If they want to thank their producers, push their political agenda, pimp their website or glare into the camera and drool, then that's their privilege.

Now Cohen hasn't won shiat, and isn't going to. He can fark himself.

So, when he turns up in the audience at the red carpet dressed as the dictator....... which is safe to assume he will now definately be doing...

Oh man, when I saw Bruno there were some black folk that walked out after the baby scene.

Racists.

one of the globe's funniest comedians

If you look really close you can see the exact spot where I stopped reading.

Giant fake beards stopped being funny around 1938.

Does anyone else think The Dictator looks like an Adam Sandler movie?

Now if they could ban that dumbass from ever making another movie I would be a happy man.

stevetherobot: Does anyone else think The Dictator looks like an Adam Sandler movie?

But Adam Sandler has made some movies that were actually funny. OK, so he's only made two actually funny movies, but that's still more than Cohen.

His wife needs a date then? I'm free that night!

These farking people couldn't do the right thing if they were drowning in it.

Far too much logic and intelligence in this post. I hereby BAN you from Fark.


/And I hope you learn your lesson...!

I hate him just because he's married to her...



/DAMN YOU BORAT!

Sasha "Baring" Cohen

TheSignPost: Sure, whatever. I think he's a dick.

Summed up in the boobies.

Wow, there is a lot of Cohen hate here. Why? I don't get it. He is one of the best real life trolls I have ever seen.

TheSignPost: Sure, whatever. I think he's a dick.

Done in one.

People aren't watching the Oscars anymore? Let's create an artificial controversy!

The Angry Hand of God: Wow, there is a lot of Cohen hate here. Why? I don't get it. He is one of the best real life trolls I have ever seen.

Because trolls are worthless dickbags maybe?

You answered your own question.

So then it's jealousy? If I could make that money and sleep with that woman just for trolling idiots all day, please sign me up.

rickycal78: Because trolls are worthless dickbags maybe?

Benjamin Franklin, Ambrose Bierce and Mark Twain would like a word.

Also why are people assuming the costume would have anything to do with pushing a future movie? Or any past movie? And why is the Academy so freaking uptight?

WhyteRaven74: rickycal78: Because trolls are worthless dickbags maybe?

Benjamin Franklin, Ambrose Bierce and Mark Twain would like a word.

And Jonathan Swift has a modest proposal

You all remember the swan dress, right? All that was was just a subtle plug for her album at the time:



/yes, the latter was actually the interior album art from Vespertine

Also, I just have to ask, but is anyone else in here kind of excited to see him cast as Freddy Mercury and Thénardier?

WhyteRaven74: rickycal78: Because trolls are worthless dickbags maybe?

They at least contributed to society in some way shape or form. All Cohen has given us is shiatty movies that depend upon taking advantage of idiots for it's humor. Get back to me when Cohen contributes to shaping a government, or a piece of classical literature.

rickycal78: Get back to me when Cohen contributes to shaping a government, or a piece of classical literature.

Bierce did neither. And Twain wasn't trying to write great literature. And he had a blast ripping on those who did try.

WhyteRaven74: Also why are people assuming the costume would have anything to do with pushing a future movie? Or any past movie? And why is the Academy so freaking uptight?

Because it's a costume of the character he plays in his upcoming movie?
