Who's Your Favorite DICKtator, Margaret Cho?

Margaret Cho
as
Kim Jong Il
While Margaret Cho is most famous for her portrayal of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il on 30 Rock for which she received an Emmy Nomination. She has decided to take on portraying and slaying even more of them in her music video DICKtator which drops today.

So many new videos on Tuesday December 1st results in red eye, in a good way, I always say.

Margaret has something to say about it, hey you didn't think she wouldn't did you?! 

"Here's a fun song I did with Princess Superstar and C Fire Da Rambler. It struck me that we needed an apocalyptic battle rhymes song to deal with the news of the day. My friends and I played dictators through history and Andy my partner shot it all on our  phones and edited it on my laptop. We laughed so much while making it and we hope you do too" - Margaret Cho

Cheers, here's to you Donald Trump!

One, Two, He's Coming For You...Wes Craven

The Man of Your Nightmares
Wes Craven
"The first monster you have to scare the audience with is yourself" - Wes Craven

One of my favorite filmmakers, Wes Craven has passed away. He directed Meryl Streep in her Oscar Nominated role in Music of the Heart and one of my favorite popcorn thrillers Red Eye with Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy.

However he will always be known for his works of horror, most notably the high profile Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream films. 

I remember when both came out. Each was heralded as contributing something unique to the horror genre.

Scream with it's unique blend of wit and scares revived horror movies at a time when the genre was pretty much dead.

As a huge horror fan I thought I had seen it all, but nothing could have prepared me for the opening scene of Drew Barrymore being stalked and ultimately murdered. It was truly frightening on every level you could imagine, her dying merely feet away from her parents gasping for air and trying to get their attention will stay with me forever!

A Nightmare on Elm Street was notorious for making people afraid to dream. It truly was the stuff sweet dreams aren't made of.

R.I.P.
