    The Dictator (film)

    OK, the last thirty seconds of the trailer is priceless!

    Most of the trailer was a disappointment but you're right.....that last scene had me laughing.

    I'm glad to see it's not another "trick" film.

    The Dictator's Admiral General Aladeen Responds To The Death Of Kim Jong Il

    http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Dicta...-Il-28438.html

    OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM HIS EXCELLENCY ADMIRAL GENERAL ALADEEN - SUPREME LEADER, ALL TRIUMPHANT GENERAL AND CHIEF OPTHAMOLOGIST OF PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF WADIYA

    I am saddened to learn of the passing of my dear friend Kim Jong-Il. Our thoughts go out to his wife and 813 children. “K-Jo” was a great leader, good friend and average double’s badminton partner. He died as he lived, in 3-inch lifts. An extraordinary man, he did so much to spread compassion, wisdom and uranium throughout the world.

    On behalf of myself, Ahmadinejad, Chavez and Newt Gingrinch, we would like to welcome his son, Kin Jong Un into the "Axis of Evil”

    Saw this thread pop back up today and immediately thought it was about the Great Dictator.

    I agree that Cohen's style is hit and miss, but to me that speaks more of his ability to make a lot of people laugh at one point or another, and as Neil said, when he hits its usually satisfying. That said, I can only take his stuff in limited doses and have yet to see Bruno. I think the Dictator may be a bit too telegraphed with a lot of the shticks, but I'll probably still appreciate some of the stuff when I get around to checking it out.

    I thought Borat was priceless, as was Ali G. Bruno I didn't like the first time around, too much like Borat. But after rewatching it recently, and in the right company, I have to say that it's started to grow on me.

    love his previous works but really? this? i dont think theres going to be a single gag in it we havent seen before. white people being stupid and missing points and jumping to conclusions, the dictator being a jolly guy who takes mirth in mistreating his people, this is real old hat.

    I find Cohen and Sarah Silverman as funny as a gangrenous leg. Their "schtick" isn't funny but just mean spirited and crude.
