Just Posted (and Even Better)
The cutting, the humor, the personalities, the conversations, the Harrison Ford turnaround -- this really works and builds and more than sustains itself, and for a nearly five-minute running time. Which is no small thing. Either Steven Spielberg directed or is "playing" the director. If it's the former, did he supervise the cutting also? If so, my hat is off.

When will I learn that clicking H-E's embedded clips -- rather than copying the link and pasting it into a new tab -- always, always locks 'em up? When???

It has to be said, and I'm surprised Wells didn't already:
Jason Segel is NOT looking good. He's getting close to Jonah Hill territory.
May I suggest a sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall?
Introducing Jenny Craig.

Okay, Borat I kind of get. But tell me again why they have Canadian Ryan Reynolds and Brit Orlando Bloom in there? Are they going to vote in our election?
And it's just a damn shame that he's such a nutjob, because even in this small clip, Tom Cruise just oozes star quality.

I never play videos on Firefox because it always locks up. I simply copy the URL to IE or Windows Safari and it's fine.

This is infinitely better than the last one they did, although still too long. But it's worth it to stick around for Borat's astonishing final zinger during the last few seconds of the clip.

For Gosh Sakes: Borat is from Kazitzan. This makes no sense! He cant vote either!
Segal needs a good haircut. I think thats worse than his big body.
Cameron Diaz's 15 minutes should be up by now. Shouldnt it? What a ditz!
Just noticed the size of Tom Cruise's head next to Spielbergs. He's got a tiny head!

Lazarus, there's already one in the works, a spinoff focusing on Aldous Snow.

Holy shit! A compliment for Spielberg!
I agree rr3333...Jason Segel looks homeless in this clip.

90% of actors look crappy between roles - shaggy, unkempt, chubby, whatever - just in the off chance their next role requires them to look crappy.
Anyway, had I not voted already, this smug clip almost makes me want to not vote as much as the will.i.am song did. I'd really like to see how many of these actors (foreigners excluded) actually vote.

The latest Flash update FINALLY fixes the media problem with Firefox. I installed it about 2 weeks ago and everything's worked fine since. Here's the link: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP

what you failed to mention Jeff was that DiCaprio's Appian Way production company is behind the video and he was the impetus to get this and the first Don't Vote video made - first one apparently got over 300,000 new voters registered. I have to say he's got a lot of friends.

Even though he was only on screen for a total of 25 seconds Ford still managed to fit in a quick stern finger point. The man is nothing if not reliable.

That's better acting from Ford than in all of Indy 4.

Is Tom Cruise really an inch or two taller than Steven Spielberg?

Wells, I did my research and "DiCaprio produced, directed and stars in the spot. ".
http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/10/29/2008-10-29_leonardo_dicaprio_behinds_celeb_turnout_-2.html
Steven is just acting. Makes a lot of sense too because, while Spielberg's own "A Timeless Call" is a masterpiece this isn't quite there. Still good spot and hope it sends the right message.
Bob, Spielberg himself is actually quite tall, so shut the fuck up.
P.S. (it's not quite Catch Me If You Can - either - man I love that interrogation scene between Hanks and DiCaprio)

I'm taking my citizenship test on the fifth, so I have no side in this, but I must ask: Has the Apatovian aesthetic become so all-encompassing that even our civics lessons must have dick jokes?
