SMH@This guy calling M.I.A., Nicki Minaj, And Madonna “Skanks”: Madonna and the other skanks who performed at the Super Bowl half time show were actually part of an elaborate occult ritual designed to convey the idea that they are gods to be worshiped. Mark Dice is a media analyst, social critic, political activist, and author who, in an entertaining and educational way, gets people to question our celebrity obsessed culture, and the role the mainstream media and elite secret societies play in shaping our lives.

Mark frequently stirs up controversy from his commentaries, protests, and boycotts, and has repeatedly been featured in major media outlets around the world. Several of Mark’s YouTube videos have gone viral, earning him a mention on ABC’s The View, Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor, TMZ.com, and other mainstream media outlets. Mark has also been featured in (or attacked in) the New York Post’s Page Six, Rolling Stone Magazine, USA Today, The New York Daily News, and in major papers in Pakistan and Iran. Mark Dice appears in several documentary films including Invisible Empire, The 9/11 Chronicles, and has been featured on the History Channel’s Decoded and the Sundance Channel’s Love/Lust: Secret Societies and more. He enjoys enlightening zombies, as he calls them, (ignorant people) about the mass media’s effect on our culture, pointing out Big Brother’s prying eyes, and exposing elite secret societies along with scumbag politicians and their corrupt political agendas. He also habitually calls into several top-rated talk shows, including the Sean Hannity Show, Glenn Beck, and Michael Savage, and verbally battles with the hosts on various issues since he has never been asked to be a guest on them as of yet. Audio of some of these calls are then posted online. The term “fighting the New World Order” is used by Mark to describe some of his activities, and refers to his and others’ resistance and opposition (The Resistance) to the overall system of political corruption, illegal wars, elite secret societies, mainstream media, Big Brother and privacy issues; as well as various economic and social issues. Dice and his supporters sometimes refer to being “awake” or “enlightened” and see their knowledge of these topics as part of their own personal Resistance to the corrupt New World Order. This Resistance involves self-improvement, self-sufficiency, personal responsibility and spiritual growth. Mark Dice is the author of several books on current events, secret societies and conspiracies, including his newest book, Big Brother: The Orwellian Nightmare Come True which is available on Amazon.com, Kindle and Nook. While much of Mark’s work confirms the existence and continued operation of the Illuminati today, he is also dedicated to debunking conspiracy theories and hoaxes and separating the facts from the fiction; hence the “Facts & Fiction” subtitle for several of his books.

Yes, I just wrote the words ” Transformers Oscar campaign.” Sigh. It’s time we come to terms with the fact that each installment in Michael Bay ‘s robot action series has technically been nominated for one or more Academy Awards — deservedly so, really, given the technical achievements these CG metal-on-metal bashfests have under their belt, even if everything else in these films are aggressively, brain-numbingly mediocre. But Paramount aims to take home one of them statuettes this year, by god, and so they’ve created an awards campaign to break through to Oscar voters in the most effective way possible: Through their TV sets. Bay’s billion-dollar summer hit Transformers: Dark of the Moon is nominated in three technical categories: Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Visual Effects. No matter how much you may loathe this series, one thing is irrefutable: Transformers 3 boasts some of the best vfx of the year. That churning building-chomping giant bot thing cutting down a skyscraper in glorious, shiny detail? Mesmerizing, really. Bay slowing down his previously indistinguishable CG robot action for the third film actually helped highlight the amazing visual work he and his team pieced together out of bits and data, and though the first Transformers lost the Visual Effects Oscar to The Golden Compass (the second lost Best Sound Mixing to The Hurt Locker ), 2012 seems like the year for a Transformers win for vfx. ( Dark of the Moon is up against Hugo , Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 , Rise of the Planet of the Apes , and Real Steel in the category.) Which brings us to the two sound categories. Does anyone out there who’s not a sound engineer actually understand the difference between Sound Editing and Sound Mixing? Fine, I’m sure there are a handful of expert McKnowitalls out there. (Essentially, editing is the selection/assemblage of sounds and mixing is the blending of all sounds/dialogue/audio for the final film.) But you know who doesn’t understand the difference between the two? Normal people, and a whole lot of Oscar voters. That’s probably why Paramount’s Transformers Oscar spot doesn’t even bother distinguishing between the two sound categories. “Just vote for us across the board!” the campaign practically screams, and why not? The goal of these spots is basically to put Transformers in the minds of the voters — the ones who can be swayed by a TV commercial telling them that these are the best effects of the year. Take a look at the ad below and chime in below: Do you think this campaign will finally earn the franchise their Oscar? [via Deadline ]
Banned in France! Well, kinda: Movie posters featuring Oscar -nominated Jean Dujardin , up for Best Actor for his turn as a silent film star in the sweet and wholesome The Artist , have been deemed too racy by French censors who recommended that certain billboards for Dujardin’s French language film Les Infidels ( The Players ) be taken down. Judging from the film’s redband trailer, Les Infidels is a comedy that features lots and lots of sex. Dirty sex. Upside down sex, suggest the naughty, naughty posters! According to The Hollywood Reporter , who picked up the trail after French media went to town on the racy materials, Les Infidels is “a series of sketches from directors including Dujardin, Lellouche, Fred Cavaye, Eric Lartigau, Emmanuelle Bercot, Alexandre Courtes and Michel Hazanavicius all centering around the theme of male infidelity.” Dujardin and co-star Gilles Lellouche appear in the posters in pseudo-in flagrante poses, boasting douchey looks of self-satisfaction accessorized by faceless women and female body parts. Of course, pointing out the ridiculousness of these fellas’ wanton use of women for sex is probably the entire point of the film (I’m guessing/hoping), but y’know… Above tagline translation, per THR: “It’s going to cut out. I’m entering a tunnel.” Tres classy! But you tell me: Are these posters (courtesy of the film’s Facebook page) so bad? And, more relevant to this season: Can these raunchy images damage Dujardin’s hold on the Best Actor race? For more of a sense of the film, and to see Oscar’s leading man get down and dirty, watch the French language redband trailer (via EW ): [ THR , EW , Facebook ] Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

Actor/musician/security guard Derrick T. Tuggle’s smooth moves earned him a starring role in the Keys’ new clip. By James Montgomery Derrick T. Tuggle in The Black Key’s “Lonely Boy” music video Photo: Warner Music Group Forget about that “Evolution of Dance” guy or the “Double Dream Feet” dude. The real Internet dancing sensation may very well be Derrick T. Tuggle, the 48-year-old actor/musician/part-time security guard currently setting the Web ablaze with his smooth moves in the Black Keys’ “Lonely Boy” video . For the uninitiated, the clip stars Tuggle — and only Tuggle — as a herky-jerky dance machine who grooves to the Keys’ new single while standing outside a motel room. Over the course of three-plus minutes, as the sleeves of his dress shirt become increasingly unrolled, he cycles through a series of rather amazing moves (and even mimics a few of the lyrics) before triumphantly thrusting his fist skyward as the song comes to a close. It is a decidedly odd, strangely compelling performance, and because of it, the “Lonely Boy” video — the first clip from the Keys’ El Camino album — has racked up nearly 400,000 views in less than 24 hours. It’s also made a rather unwitting star of Tuggle, even though (up until right now), no one knew his name. But what’s even more amazing is the fact that his star-making turn almost didn’t happen at all, as Tuggle told MTV News on Thursday (October 27). “I was cast as an extra, and there were maybe six or seven other people who were supposedly going to be in the video. … I was the first one to perform in the video. It was a motel shot where the guys from the Black Keys come and give me the keys to their motel room,” he said. “The director just sort of noticed me dancing and asked me, ‘Can you perform?’ I said, ‘I can dance, anybody can dance,’ so I took some moves from everybody: John Travolta from ‘Saturday Night Fever’ and ‘Pulp Fiction,’ the Carlton Banks dance from ‘The Fresh Prince’ and a little bit of Michael Jackson, so it was a smorgasbord of everybody in there. “It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing,” Tuggle added. “My acting teacher Mark McPherson, he has us do this thing before we start class called ‘Song and Dance,’ where he’ll have us sing one of our favorite songs, and then while we’re singing it, he’ll have us do a crazy dance, or a sexy dance, and I guess it spawned from that.” The end result is most definitely crazy — not to mention rather incredible, considering Tuggle nailed the routine in a single take (“As an actor, you have to know your lines, you have to be ready, so I was,” he explained). And though he’s had music-video experience in the past (he’s done background work in clips for the Dave Matthews Band, Lenny Kravitz and Lloyd), he’s never experienced anything quite like the reaction to “Lonely Boy,” and he’s hoping it will translate to more roles in the future. “I’m elated, and I’m still in shock, to be honest. I’ve been out [in Los Angeles] for 10 years, pursuing acting and music, so hopefully this will lead to more work,” he said. “Honestly, I just went down there to do my part and see what would happen. Who knew I would take over the whole thing?” What did you think of Tuggle’s moves? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists The Black Keys
Hungarian police swarmed warehouse to seize stash of guns being used on set. By Gil Kaufman Brad Pitt on the set of “World War Z” on August 18, 2011, in Glasgow, Scotland Photo: Jeff J Mitchell/ Getty Images Onlookers may have thought that the intense police action was part of the plot, but when Hungarian police and a SWAT team descended on the set of Brad Pitt ‘s film “World War Z” on Monday, it was not a scripted event. According to US Weekly , the SWAT team raided a Budapest warehouse where weapons were being stored for use in the epic zombie flick , with anti-terrorism officers seizing 85 guns. The firearms, which were supposed to be nonfunctional, were automatic, military-style assault rifles that were in good working order. The guns were confiscated at an airport near the film’s set, where they were being stored. “This morning a private plane brought guns wrapped in a parcel from a company to an individual [in Budapest],” said the director of Hungary’s anti-terrorism unit in a statement. “Guns like these are highly illegal to transport even if they were to [be] used as stage guns, which hopefully they weren’t.” A source told the magazine that Pitt — whose Plan B Entertainment is producing the movie set for a December 2012 release — isn’t to blame for the prop snafu. “The movie company’s employees must have made a mistake bringing the guns in without the Anti-Terrorism Unit’s permission,” said the unnamed source. The movie, which is being helmed by Oscar-nominated director Marc Forster ( “Machine Gun Preacher,” “Stranger Than Fiction”) and is based on a beloved novel by Max Brooks, stars Pitt as a United Nations employee who is traveling the world in an effort to stop a zombie plague from wiping out humanity. Forster has promised that he is taking a different approach to how the zombies move in the film from how they lurch in the book. “In Max Brook’s book they move in the George Romero [“Night of the Living Dead”] fashion. I feel like we have a little bit different approach,” he revealed. “But it doesn’t exclude that they might not eventually be fashioned [on] how George Romero’s zombies move, it’s just a little bit different approach. I think that will probably be the biggest discussions that there will be.” Check out everything we’ve got on “World War Z.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
It is not looking good for the NBA. The entire preseason has been canceled and Commissioner David Stern has threatened the loss of regular season games if a deal is not reached by Monday (Oct. 10th). A few of the league’s high profile players have already sensed the season was in jeopardy and signed on to play overseas. Turns out Stephon Marbury and Allen Iverson had a crystal ball. Sure no NBA team wanted to touch them with a ten-foot pole the last two years, but joke’s on you David Stern. The two malcontents have been cashing those overseas checks early, in China and Turkey respectively, possibly inspiring the current crop of defectors. Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs just announced that he’s taking his talents back to his native France next year. While it is highly unlikely after the banner year the league just had that the entire NBA season will be lost, there is a possibility the regular season will be shortened. Never fear, people. Check out the top 5 ways to pass the time while you wait for the players and owners to kiss and make up. 5) Video Game Therapy Fire up your favorite gaming system and get in a little NBA2K action. Sure the rookies aren’t in the game, but don’t let that stop you. What better way to make sure your favorite team wins the NBA title than by taking things into your own hands? Go ahead and channel your inner LeBron , give Kobe 50 shots in a game and break Wilt Chamberlain’s record of 100 points. Still don’t feel better? 4) Get to know the international teams Never heard of Virtus Bologna , you say? ASVEL ? Better get on Google and do some research. Yeah the Olympics are a year away, but expect to see Kobe Bryant making the trek to Italy to ball if the lockout is not over soon. Deron Williams was the first to make the leap to Turkey followed by Tony Parker (pictured right) signing with his native French team ASVEL for about $2000 a month. Talk about a recession. 3) Reminisce No basketball? No problem. Some of the NBA stars past and present have ventured into the world of Hip Hop with, ahem, mixed results. Pass the time by dusting off that old Shaquille O’Neal single “What’s Up, Doc?” featuring The Fu-Schnickens or fire up Youtube and check out Shaq flowing with the Wu-Tang on “No Hook” . Maybe the aforementioned Allen Iverson has time to put out that oft-delayed, highly anticipated album he crafted while back with the Philadelphia 76ers under his alter ego Jewelz . Wait, he did release it? Well, why not take a listen to “Non Fiction” and see what A.I.’s got? “40 Bars” , anyone? It can’t be any worse than Kobe rapping in Italian with Tyra Banks screeching on the hook. 2) Hoop Dreams You got handle like CP3 , you can put up points like Kevin Durant at The Rucker, and you got a one-leg fadeaway shot better than Dirk Nowitzki ? If the real players won’t take the court maybe the owners will take a look at you, right? This ain’t baseball folks, no replacement players will be called in. Best to showcase your stuff at the aforementioned Rucker Park and hope Durant doesn’t catch you on camera with a pull up three. 1) Watch other sports Welp, the good news is the NFL decided to have a season so there’s still football, but if the entire NBA season is lost what is there to watch? Fear not NBA aficionados. Figure the NFL will be over in first week of February, around the same time NASCAR has its own super bowl of racing in its very first race of the year! Who can’t get hyped for the pageantry, the prestige of the Daytona 500 ? Then in the middle of February baseball pitchers and catchers report to training camps for Spring Training. If that doesn’t get your juices flowing, get ready to scour the transaction wire for the wheeling and dealing that went down for the winter meetings so you can get your fantasy baseball team right. How about some bowling? That’s a favorite past time of NBA players. Take a trip down to Lucky Strike in Times Square and you may run into Carmelo Anthony or Baron Davis . At least there’s college basketball, right? Track and field? Yeah, this lockout needs to end quickly.

Samuel L. Jackson has contributed indelible performances to the oeuvre of Quentin Tarantino , most notably as the cool Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction , which nabbed him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nod, and as the unhinged L.A. gun-runner Ordell Robbie (“O-R-D-E-L-L R-O-B-B-I-E”) in Tarantino’s follow-up, Jackie Brown , which garnered him a Golden Globes nomination. Jackson even lent his voice to 2009’s Inglourious Basterds and will appear in the upcoming Django Unchained . But which film does the frequent Tarantino player consider the director’s best, in which “the action plays out suddenly and completely for every character?”
