So-called terrorist slams Bruno’s Sasha Baron Cohen as a “big liar”

The man labeled a “terrorist group leader” in Bruno claims he is now a committed pacifist and that the movie’s star, Sasha Baron Cohen, conducted the interview under false pretenses, according to WorldNetDaily.
Ayman Abu Aita served in the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades from 2000 until 2003, after which he did a two year stint in Israeli prison. Now, however, he is dedicated to the Palestinan cause through non-violent means and conducted the interview for Bruno on the pretense it would rally support of international youth. He was shocked to learn the film depicts a homosexual character and contains graphic nudity and sexual fetishes. He also felt there was nothing unusual about Baron Cohen’s appearance or body language to suggest something was amiss with the interview.
Bruno ruled the box office this weekend with an estimated $30.4 million, throwing Transformers 2 to a distant third. To secure it’s success, in the run-up to Bruno’s North American premier, Baron Cohen was aggressively promoting the movie.
When the comedian described to CBS’s David Letterman last week the way he met Aita at an undisclosed location, Aita slammed him as a “big liar” who “made up stories”.
“[Baron Cohen] said this was a film going to help the Palestinian cause,” Aita said. “When I heard (four days ago) what this film was about I really didn’t believe it.”
It comes as no surprise that Aita is consulting lawyers with regards to a lawsuit.

So-called terrorist slams Bruno’s Sasha Baron Cohen as a “big liar”

Variety is reporting Universal Pictures will simultaneously release a tamer version of its controversial offering, Bruno, so that younger British movie-goers can get around its current 18-and-over rating.
Perhaps due to the movie’s disappointing opening at the box office, the filmmakers resubmitted Bruno to the The British Board of Film Classification after deleting a minute and a half worth scenes containing the movie’s strongest sexual depictions and references. The abandoned footage includes a montage of exaggerated sexual activity, the miming of various sexual acts and scenes from a swingers’ party.
Universal decided to cut the film after scores of the underage fans that made Sasha Baron Cohen’s last film, Borat, such a runaway success were turned away at the theatre.
Vying now for a less restrictive “15″ rating, the studio hopes Bruno and his myriad of perversions can reach that younger, impressionable audience.

Vassup Hollywood!
The flamboyant fashionista donned some outrageous outfits during his exhausting promotional tour through Europe, but he seems to have saved his biggest shock frock for the Hollywood premiere of the Bruno movie.
The incredible stunt involves Sacha Baron Cohen as BRÜNO riding into the premiere of his Borat Sequel on a military-style tank, completely covered in glam and mirrors, dancing to the latest Techno beats!
Check out the outrageous
Bruno tours the Globe!
Berlin!
Bruno celebrated the German premiere of his movie by appearing before crowds at the famous Brandenburg Gate wearing a pink knitted bodysuit and matching furry boots.
But what stunned Berliners most was without question his knitted genitalia, hanging out on display for all to admire.
Amsterdam!
The next stop on the tour was Amsterdam, where Bruno arrived on the scene on a jet ski.
He piloted his craft up the tight canal (like someone who’s obviously done it before) and splashed down in the middle of the city’s infamous red light district.
On cue, a whole throng of throng-wearing male models dozen men then emerged from behind the curtains of the three-story building, where female prostitutes normally display their wares to passersby on the street.
The U.K.!
Fans flocked over to Leicester Square on June 17 to see Sacha Baron Cohen strut his stuff as Bruno, and they definitely weren’t disappointed. He showed up in London on Wednesday in skimpy Buckingham Palace guard regalia, revealing even more than he did at the movie’s Paris premiere.
Check out the Bruno Highlight Videoclip below!
Bruno opens in theaters in Canada and the U.S. on July 10th.

In character as the gay Austrian fashion reporter, he donned an extravagant new take on the traditional Foot Guard uniform which involved a lot of bare skin.
Bruno is the newest character for Baron Cohen after the success of Borat, who was as hairy as men come.
Bruno is completely hair free - all in a day’s work for the 37-year-old comedian! See photos from the all-star premiere throughout the post and on our Sitelet.
The British comic’s Austrian fashionista alter ego continues to create commotion all around the globe, along with his fiancee, Isla Fisher (seen above)

Public Enemies
What is it? The bullet-riddled story of the FBI’s struggle to take down cult hero bank robbers John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd in the early ‘30s.
Who’s in it? Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Channing Tatum, Leelee Sobieski, Billy Crudup, Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Graham
Why it just might be the best movie ever: Depp and Bale in the same movie? What, was Jesus not available too?
Why it just might be the worst movie ever: In the highly unlikely circumstances that Miami Vice was the end of the beginning for Mann, it’s a remote possibility. But let’s hope he already got the bad one out of his system.
The reality: Mann paired Pacino and DeNiro a decade ago on Heat and the result was magic, plus one of the greatest shootouts ever witnessed on screen. Hopes are high for this one, a rare treat of strong credibility in the fluff-filled summer movie season.
Agree? Disagree? Just want to call me an idiot? Post a Comment Below!
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
What is it? The Ice Age characters return for a third adventure with the added ingredient of dinosaurs.
Who’s in it? The voices of Ray Romano, Denis Leary, Simon Pegg, John Leguizamo, Seann William Scott, Queen Latifah
Why it just might be the best movie ever: If you already love the Ice Age series, how could a new one with dinos possibly be anything but amazing?
Why it just might be the worst movie ever: Been there, done that. Is Scrat and his endless acorn pursuit still funny?
The reality: Another entertaining Fox animated comedy to pass the time until the next Pixar release.

So-called terrorist slams Bruno’s Sasha Baron Cohen as a “big liar”
Posted by grip on Tuesday, July 14, 2009
Looks like more chaos for Bruno
“Bruno” AKA Sacha Baron Cohen punk’d a Prop 8 rally as it was being filmed. His crew doesn’t like the news camera’s presence and roughs up the cameraman. Later the “Bruno” crew hits cameraman with “Yes On 8″ sign while chanting “Yes On 8″.
Check out the news video below:
colorblind101a comments on Youtube
“Doesn’t matter the fact that MrVidCam got up in Mr. Cohen’s personal space and became more of a paparazzi than a news documentator put him in the wrong. Giving the man distance and shooting like you were shooting is the appropriate way to film, then you go show the officers “Hey they’re filming without credentials” boom no problem.”
Take a look at some photos from MITBruno.com
We invite you to leave us some feedback, just comment on the blog.
And if that’s not enough BRÜNO buzz for you…
