I didn’t catch the MTV Movie Awards, as they tend to just be one long commercial for upcoming movies and a popularity party for the ones that came out last year. No real merit, just a lot of back patting.
But one event that I caught a poor third party cam-at-the-tv youtube clip was a publicity stunt for the upcoming Bruno.
Apparently it was completely planned to have Bruno accidentally find himself in an awkward position with the very vocal homophobic Marshall Mathers, known to his peeps as Eminem. The Slim Shady was clearly not party to the prank and Cohen got exactly what he wanted out of him.
It seems that mere minutes after this video went Viral online at YouTube, it was yanked by Viacom. For those who didn’t see it, Cohen is in full character dressed as Bruno and playing the part. He is being flown in on wires across the roof of the venue wearing white wings and leather gladiator kilt when he “accidentally” hits an air duct and finds himself inverted and tangled in his harness. He is then lowered into the “unsuspecting” crowd and conveniently lands on Eminem, who looks none too happy to have Cohen head first in his crotch and straddling his shoulders. Em’s posse doesn’t react right away and he seems to be angry but playing along until they get up and “rough up” Cohen who doesn’t break character for one moment.
It was clearly staged by Cohen to promote the Bruno character and film, what isn’t clear is if Eminem and his entourage were in on the prank as well. If they were in on it, they do a fine job looking sufficiently offended.
While it lasts there is a new link
A pretty funny staged prank, and it did exactly what Cohen wanted. It showed just the type of outwardly flamboyant homosexual behaviour we can expect from the upcoming film Bruno, and a prime example of the target subject the film hopes to exploit for laughs.
Eminem’s posse managed to keep themselves from making themselves look bad, but a very deliberate exodus from their assigned seats followed immediately afterward. I wonder if there will be some legal reprocussions, however Cohen is far from shy in the face of legal action.
I don’t blame them. It still made me laugh.
Tonight during the fashion show, commercial and popularity contest known as the MTV Movie Awards, a first look at New Moon has come around and they sure know how to hit it with the fans.
Oh the nostalgia train is starting to roll, and with the upcoming release of Ghost Busters on BluRay, and their first promotional site invites you to try out to be a Ghost Buster.
Thanks for checking out our new feature, Forgotten Fridays. This is something we want to try out to review some older films that maybe you have forgotten about or maybe never got around to seeing that we just want to share. I have done some of these reviews in the past called Forgotten Gems, but now we want to try and bring you something on a more regular basis.

I love the subjectivity of film. The best part of films was that they were completely subjective. In a nutshell, “You don’t have to like what I like”
When I heard about the premise for Surrogates, I was intrigued. Now seeing the trailer I really want to see this.
Jeff Daniels has never let me down. The guy is a wonderful actor that will rarely show up on anyone’s greatest actors list, but should. He plays such a diverse set of characters and does it well. So who better to pair him up with in a dramatic romance film than Lauren Graham, while stunning is a slight variation the same person in everything I have seen her in.
Remember 21 Jump Street? For those who don’t, it was a TV show that starred Johnny Depp that featured a special team of young looking cops that would attend highschool and bust drug dealers.
William Shatner is a puzzle to me. For years all I heard about was his off screen ass hattery and the drama between him and his cast mates. Well in the last few years, Bill has come around and surprised me. He is by far the best part of Boston Legal, and his attitude changed from pompous he-diva to a humble charming man who can poke fun at himself.
I cannot deny the man love I have for the comedy teamings of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The films they star in together are just packed with charm and always a sure win for me.
Seems in the midst of promoting Land of the Lost, Farrell was asked for an update on the rumoured Anchorman sequel.
In wild speculation Golden Apple Comics in LA had a surprise visit from Katee Sackhoff attempting to buy them out of every Typhoid Mary comic in their stock.
This Memorial Day weekend known in Canada as “the weekend” (we had our holiday the previous weekend - Victoria Day) was a battle of the sequels with Terminator Salvation hoping to hold the weekend. Seems that the sequel Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian hedged out the Terminator sequel despite Terminator’s extra day.
Looks like the Anderson helmed Castlevania just couldn’t find a way to make it work, and the project is being turfed.
The Imax Poster for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is online
A teaser trailer is out for Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel.
Careful what you wish for Buffy fans, you just might get it.
With Star Wars celebrating its 32nd Birthday this week (May 25th, 1977 was the release date of A New Hope) it is only fitting that a tribute to that film that changed everything would take place. No, I am not talking about Fanboys. I am talking about a trailer for a buried and forgotten film called 77. (Originally called 5-25-77)
Let me first say that this is a FAN MADE trailer that has been making the rounds today.
