Sasha Baron Cohen to play Abbie Hoffman...

It has been all over the internet today that Sasha Baron Cohen has signed on to play Abbie Hoffman in the upcoming Aaron Sorkin penned flick "The Trial of The Chicago 7" for Steven Spielberg's SKG Dreamworks imprint.

Too bad that Cohen has announced that he has retired his Borat and Ali G alter egos, nothing would be funnier than him coming to town to do a little bit of research regarding Abbie's life while at the same time doing a sit down interview with Konnie Lukes as Ali G.

Song of the weekend..

From seeing the Gears of War commercial before Borat and then again today a few times while watching football. As Borat would say, "Very Nice." So was the movie, saw it with a packed house on Friday night. Funny as all hell, but you know that by now. I give it 5 potatos nonetheless.

I'd rather hear Gary Jules than John Mellencamp singing about Chevy trucks.
