Lifted from the Ausiello files on EW.com:

On Nov 7, production on NBC’s Medium was temporarily shut down when an extra kept interrupting a tense courtroom scene involving series star Patricia Arquette. Security stepped in and forcibly removed the troublemaker from the jury box, and it’s only then that everyone’s sixth sense kicked in: The unruly actor was actually Sacha Baron Cohen in disguise as his latest Borat-like creation, flamboyant fashion reporter Bruno.

“No one had a clue it was Sacha playing Bruno,” whispers a Medium insider. “It’s amazing he was able to infiltrate the set and pull this off.”

Worth seeing just because they’ve got a Stooges track in the trailer…

Mish and I went to go see Religulous last night.  If you’re not familiar with the film it’s a Bill Maher (Politically Incorrect) docu-comedy poking fun at the absurdity of organized religion… as in ALL OF THEM.

There’s no two ways about it — this movie is pissing a LOT of people off.  It takes serious balls to question people’s beliefs.  Respect to Bill Maher for pulling it off so well.

Whether you’re Jewish, Christian, Catholic, Muslim, Scientologist, Egyptian Orthodox or an atheist… just go see this movie.  There’s no way you can watch this and not be moved.  Regardless of whether you agree with Maher or not (and judging by the totally-uncommon-for-non-Star-Wars-movies applause that ripped through the theatre last night when the movie ended, I’d say most people did) you’ll be talking and thinking about this when it’s over and that’s what good art is all about.

(For the record, I was one of the many “rationalists” who applauded).
