  • When are these Hollywood partisan hacks are gonna learn that nobody gives a fuck about their political opinions?

    I don't understand how being a Hollywood star eliminates them from having political opinions? Don't they vote as well? Aren't they citizens too? Well, I do give a fuck what they think just like i care about everybody else!

  • I love Ellen Page. She makes me laugh. =)

  • Kind of wish JGL had said more. His Twitter is how I was introduced to the very phenomenal RSA Animate series. Still, some great clips.

  • If you people din't crave oil so much maybe there'd be less oil spills as firms harry it to your oil thirsty cars. No wonder most of you are fat and mental.

  • LOOOOOL at the shot of palin while Ellen is talking!!! hahahahahaha

  • I couldn't agree more.

  • y r people getting pissed of over the actors? the interviewer ask them a question n they answer it base on their opinion. What? are they not allowed to have their opinions like everyone of use have? Gee small matter make it into such a huge deal...

  • @peppergirlrocks why are people pissed of over what actors say? Because by the nature of the fact that they are actors they are good at creating illusions. And here they are doing their best to create an illusion of competence on the issues they discuss. In fact, they don't know what they are talking about. It's a complete monkey-hear-monkey-say for them. They memorize a rhetoric and then they spew it. When any evidence shows up which contradicts their rhetoric, they just ignore it.

  • @drd105 'Create an illusion of competence on the issues they discuss'? really u think actors are the only 1 doing that n monkey-hear-monkey-say? the way u say about these actors r as if they are not part of this world, that they have no say in this world. they have their own opinions about certain issues jus like we do n we dont agree on the same things. i bet we ourselves hav said things that we have no full understanding of. n how do u know 'they r doing their best.." c ur making assumptions

  • @drd105 If you can't tell the difference between acting and true feelings, then you shouldn't even be talking in the first place. What. A. Tool.

  • As much as I agree with Ellen, does she really know what she is talking about? She is Canadian, isn't she?

  • @lavaignited i think canadians know more about american politics than vice versa. the politics of the two countries overlap at times, and any informed citizen should know at least something about both. besides, i think everyone, not just americans, can see that dick cheney and sarah palin are incompetent

  • Nice to see that this bitch thinks she knows what she's talking about

  • @danman807

    Nice to see that even idiots like you have freedom of speech.

  • @TheSonorama21  hahahaha!!!!!!!!!

  • ellen page is awesome.

  • we gave you that oil spill but you gave us mcdonalds. call it quits now?

  • The cast, in general, was amazing, in character, and in general haha

  • Leonardo is sooo cute....

  • No sense bickering endlessly. Fact is, Cheney and Palin are hugely divisive personalities and there will be opinions rooted on either side of the fence about them. So bloody what?

    Moving on, I find it adorable how tickled JGL is while Ellen runs through her choices. She's really articulate and eloquent, as is he, it probably won't be too much of a stretch to assume they have quite a bit in common.

  • @FabricePBeland E. Page is 23 years old, at least that's what wikipedia says... and you can't know what they think of themselves, they're just giving an opinion.

  • @FabricePBeland Umm Ellen is 24, not a teenager.

  • LMFAO. at ellen page and joseph gordon-levitt. haha that was soo funny. dick chenney and sarah palin haha, soo true sometimes i wonder whats goin on up there too. but yea these bunch of actors in this movie are highly intelligent individuals, good to see they care about issues that matter.

  • Agree completely with them both :)

  • ouch Sarah Palin.....

  • Listen to the song "Land of Confusion" by Disturbed. It's weird I was just listening to that and Leo & Ellen together almost sounded like they were halfway reciting some of the lyrics.

  • Why is this video rated so badly? I can understand like 10 percent dislikes but half of the ratings are dislikes

  • interesting...47 approve and 51 dont! Does that mean 50 percent of people want to see more BP apocalypses????Perhaos they can do with a few new ideas implanted!

  • What! The ratings for this thing are way off! Everything everyone said in this interview was spot on. I think Leo put it very eloquently and Ellen has always had a way with words.

  • What a bunch of dopes! SO Leo's private jet runs on what? Pig farts and potato skins? And those other two mental midgets? Together they have an IQ that barely comes to the room temperature. They all spend their lives in fantasy worlds and none have any education to speak of. What the hell do they know about everyday REAL people. Haha! I'm not a real person, but I play oone in the movies. They should just shut up and stop proving how ignorant they are.

  • @sadlowss stop complaining they are speaking the truth... troll...

  • Nice to hear how intelligent both of them are...

  • Spend some qualitytime with DiCaprio Wants to Get Inside Head of BP Boss one of the best film this year. watch it here: F/REEM/OVIEP/LANET.I/NFO

  • When are these Hollywood partisan hacks are gonna learn that nobody gives a fuck about their political opinions?

  • the fact that leo cares so much about the environment makes him even more attractive, which i didn't think was possible.

  • Can we all just say how awesome the movie is and go on with our lives? They were asked a question, and they answered it. It's great whether you agree or not, but that shouldn't reflect your opinion on the movie or your choice to see it. (This movie came from Christopher Nolan's mind, not Ellen's, Joe's or Leo's.)

  • LOL Sarah Palin is a joke :)

  • ALL OF YOU ARE SO MAD.JPG

  • Seriously. Why do we ask celebrities questions? I wanted to like Ellen Page and JGL so badly. Sigh.

  • Really, Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney!?!? Out of all the people in the world!! These two are the most uncompassionate people to Ellen Page!! How about Kim Jong iL, or Hugo Chavez, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or Osama bin Laden. I don't understand why so many celebrities are blind to all of what is really going on in the world.

  • @moviegirl23 I don't understand why there are so many dumb republicans here. It probably explains why our country is dying from stupidity.

  • @ChaoticSouls Where in my comment did I state that I was a republican? Nowhere! I simply stated that Palin and Cheney are no match when it comes to compassion of the four scary nutjobs that I did mention. Page is just trying to fit into the norm of being a celebrity without doing some real thinking and research on her own. It's dissappointing.

  • @moviegirl23 Those so called scary 'nutjobs' have little impact on Americans lives at large. Cheney was the vice president and said things like deficits didn't matter. Which is hilarious for any so called fiscal conservative to say that in the first place. I suggest taking interest in the people who affect your life instead of some crazy guy who lives around the world.

  • @moviegirl23 I never said you were a republican but have that type of mentality. Also accusing me of making assumptions while making assumptions about Ellen Page? Also as I stated before I believe she was naming people who affect her not some far off guy that has no impact on her life.

  • @moviegirl23 Maybe she chose those people because they are important political figures in the part of the world she actually lives in, and therefore are more relevant to her. If she commented on Kim Jong Il - what difference would it make? The opinion of any north american on Sarah Palin on the other hand actually makes a difference... So it makes more sense to comment on her flaws doesn't it? The issues in our own culture are more important...

  • Honestly, im conservative, but I don't give one flying fuck what actors say in terms of politics so long as they ACT well. If you seriously let some stupid comments by two of the very talented actors in this amazing film persuade you not to see this movie, then you are even more biased and retarded than some of you find leo and ellen here to be.

  • @halo3spartan117 Exactly, I totally agree with you. I mean these actors have opinions just as we do, but that does not change how they acted in this amazing movie and their opinions do not change the movie.

  • I also disagree with what Leo said. Someone doesn't need to put new ideas into the head of the CEO of BP, but rather the contents of a double barrel shotgun.

  • I'd just like to note that I think everything the actors said in this clip is absolutely right on. That's all...

  • How was Leonardo wrong though? I can understand getting mad over what Ellen said, but Leo was right.

  • lol conservatives

  • Half of the people commenting are fucking idiots. Seriously? "You don't think EXACTLY how I think so I am gonna boycott everything about you".

  • Two out of power politicians are creating the world's problems. What a moron.

  • You people are seriously going to let Celeb's opinion stop you from watching a movie?! Come'on now. Get a life people.

  • It makes me laugh how many people are not going to see this movie now that they saw this interview LOL!!!!! cutting off the nose to spite the face comes to mind!

  • I can't watch it now.

  • I don't take them seriously because there actors they play someone on tv or movie yet they think they know what they learn by in real life they get paid for saying something smart even they are not smart themselves.

  • My....We were scheduled to see this movie tomorrow night. We will not be going now. It's unfortunate that politics have entered into this, but based on the comments of the actors involved, we simply cannot pay for a ticket for this movie with our hard-earned money.

  • Marketing, Hollywood Style -- Have pampered teen actors belittle at least half the people that might buy your product.

  • Cheney is a fine human being.

    Palin is bright and thoughtful.

    JG-L and EP and LDC: Irresponsible, childish, idealists who contribute nothing to the betterment of this Nation or world.

  • @TruthTube88 What crack are you smoking? All Cheney did was almost kill his friend and got us into a pointless war. Palin is a idiot. You guys need to start accepting reality and stop living in a dream world.

  • LOL. Hirlarious. Everyone in America hates the new brand of conservatives, except of course the teanadrathals clutching to their guns and bibles (and their white sheets).

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, when that lady asked them that question, I thought they're gonna go say they're "implanting" ideas in people's mind to like the movie- so on and so forth - no matter how ridiculous advertising may sound. Man, I wish they have gone to that route instead of this political one

  • Leonardo DiCaprio still believes in Al Gore and man-made global warming; so right there you've got to know he's not very intelligent!

  • Comment removed

  • @vaticanantichrist <<<<<< Paulbot

  • @ToddonCapeCod Hey protip Todd most scientist still believe in man made global warming. How about you instead wake up and realize creationism is a joke.

  • @ChaoticSouls Actually, most scientists don't, but go ahead and keep your head up your ass. Data's been revealed that shows man made global warming is a hoax.

    Enjoy that Kool Aid!!

  • @ToddonCapeCod No you fucking retard they do I suggest you start arguing facts instead of opinions.A 2009 poll by Pew Research Center found that "[w]hile 84% of scientists say the earth is getting warmer because of human activity such as burning fossil fuels, just 49% of the public agrees." The public idiots being you republicans.

  • @ChaoticSouls Then why was the winter of 2010 one of our coldest on records?!??!

    The Northeast got its ass kicked this winter! Including DC!

    Despite what the scientists are saying by their consensus, reality is showing otherwise!

    Stop being a fucking Kool Aid drinking ostrich! Dumb ass!!!

  • Ms Page. I'm sure you are a supporter of the serial liar and Marxist in the White house. I doubt Palin or Cheney have contempt for the country and people in the red states like Obama does. I will not be seeing this movie thanks to your bigoted, derisive, and moronic comments.

  • @ronbotex If you think Obama is a Marxist you are fucking deluded. Your moronic comments are why you helped destroy America from 2000-2008. Are you that blind last 8 years as your president destroyed this country?

  • Note to Ellen Page--you are an idiot! Nothing you said made any sense--it was just word salad courtesy of your Baby Boomer Overlords.

  • God what a dummy. Most Nova Scotians are the great people who would give you the shirt off your back...Lots of them actually remind me of Sara Palin a great deal.. kinda sucks that we are represented by this clown..

  • Was going to see this movie but not no more. So Ellen you really did go to far with your leftist political babble. Go back to Canada!

  • Comment removed

  • I love it how some people call Sarah Palin stupid but that great liberal mind, Sheila Jackson Lee goes in front of Congress and talks those two countries, North and South Vietnam and I don't hear a word out of the libs. Another liberal brain surgeon in the making.

  • @2009champs1 So you agree that Palin is stupid? Also nobody refutes that idiots exist on both sides.

  • Come on... Ellen Page was home schooled on the Hollywood set. Does anyone expect her to come out the other side of that with even a modicum of political intelligence? Puleez!  Cut her some slack and consider who's been mentoring her. She's an extremely cute bimbo and I LIKE HER!

  • Comment removed

  • You people are amazing. I dont see anything wrong with what they said. Besides, its their opinions. you have opinions and they do to. It doesnt matter what your job is. Just because they can express their opinions to a broader audience dont mean you guys have to get upset and want them to shut up. Everything they said was true 100% the media asked them a question and they answered it. You all have that same right. Get over yourselves..

  • insipid

  • The people in this video sure are smug.

  • what a smarmy pair of hypocrites. i look forward to the day CGI replaces douchebags.

  • They're scary smart. Awesome deep insights here. If the movie's as good as this commentary it must be really totally bitchen.

    Leo will probably take over for Gore now as the spokes-guru of the Green Movement, and he'd get his abductor-Chakra release every time he commanded it. No prob. We're safe again.

  • Dicaprio goes beyond being a tool-bag... he has crossed into the realms of being a tool-fag

  • As a good old Nova Scotian, let me just say that not all of our women are this vapid and dull. Yes, politics would be just great if we could reprogram everyone into mindless drones. Smoke another bowl, hon.

  • What the heck is "holistic intelligence"? Is that like "intelligence" for stupid people? What a bunch of rubes.

  • @explore1960 - you dont know what "holistic intelligence" is? no wonder you dont understand the meassage these people proclaim. WOW

  • @vaticanantichrist this coming from the "vaticanantichrist"...LOL Jesus what a moron.... How about actually making a point on substance numbnuts? Is that too much to ask from these idiots? Point out a policy difference with Palin and make an argument beyond "holistic intelligence" ... What a freakin tool.

  • @vaticanantichrist What are you 10? Everything they said is true? THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING DIPSHIT.

  • Sarah Palin pushed land-based drilling. Obama pushed for BP, with its record of poor safety but hefty contributions to Obama's campaign, to drill in 5,000 feet of water. It went wrong. Obama has spent most of the time since vacationing.

    Like 99% of the time, Sarah Palin was right. Like 99% of the time, ignorant and misinfofmed liberals, especially Hollywood morons like Ellen Page and 3rd Rock Boy, are wrong.

  • Ellen Page has a right to her opinion. Just like I have a right to spend my ten bucks on something else besides her movie. What an arrogant little prig.

  • Comment removed

  • Why aren’t they out promoting carbon neural movies? How about running their cameras off wind turbines and solar panels? How about all the self-proclaimed important “stars” put their private jets in mothballs? How about down sizing their life styles? How about shutting their over paid yaps? How about spending time to pick up tarballs on the gulf coast, or would that destroy their manicures? I’m not interested in their onscreen or off screen opinions.

  • Jesus Christ in heaven, looking over these comments you see pure disdain from anti-liberal Americans just brimming with hate. Why so grumpy? I’m not from your fucked up Imperialist cuntry, but I reckon all liberals should be put in power and the rest of you ranting fuckwits should be given a tin hat & a gun and sent off to find an IED with your names on it. Evil cunts the lot of ye. Kick-ass movie by the way.

  • If I didn't know better, I'd think this broad was holistically channeling Janeane Garofalo.

  • Thank you, oh high and mighty limo-libs of Hollywood. Until now I had no clue what or how to think about this terrible disaster until you shined your eternal light of intellect upon all of us unwashed. Is it any wonder why you must self-medicate to deal with we lowly dregs you must drive past and step-over. We are so heartly sorry for taxing your emotions to the point of drab deperssion in interviews. Go with Gaia and your lines of coke.

  • Comment removed

  • that Ellen Page, huh? I love listening to know-it-all pseudo-intellectuals deliver smug lecture about “holistic intelligence”. because what does Sarah Palin know about compassion? she's only raising a special needs child while her son serves in Iraq. what a selfish bitch. btw, not to sound like a 'backwaters hick', but... what IS "holistic intelligence"? is it gluten free?

  • @azn1011

    oh please. palin is a bitch.

  • @ICantDecryptTheCode glad to see you put some thought into that. you're as deep as our pal Ellen Page here.

  • @azn1011

    I disagree with your opinion. But I will defend your right

    To go fuck yourself.

    NOVA SCOTIA RULES!

  • did she say holistic intelligence?? wtf...

  • Terrific, ignorant and overpaid celebrity ideologues spouting their talking points. Cheney, Bush, Palin, it's all their fault blah blah blah. FOLKS, here's your chance to tell these celebrities where to shove it. Vote this video DOWN, and boycott the film. Spend your 15 bucks on yourselves instead of these self-centered morons.

  • DiCaprio hates BP and their lust for oil? BP gave more money to Obama than any other political candidate. BP is considered a wishy washy . liberal oil company that has been coming out with alternative fuel ads and other nonsense for the last few years. BP's founder is the leading lobbyist for Cap and Trade ( cap and tax) legislation. So by inference if DiCaprio hates BP he must hate the fact BP helped the socialist in chief get elected. Cheney has a high IQ compared to Obama.

  • Comment removed

  • @havaneros Leo never said anything about hating anybody. He simply said that BP has a responsibility that they need to take care of, which is entirely true. Nice job thinking you could pull some shit out of your ass and call it logic. E for effort.

  • intolerant people you will ever meet. Diversity to them means choosing between some radical idea they possess or a slightly less radical version of that same idea. Never a contradicting idea. What happened to the much ballyhooed anti-war movement that wore down the Bush presidency with an attack day after day after day on how the war was immoral and unjust? The anti-war movement disappeared without so much as a wimper and yet two wars still resume , despite one having been mostly finished .

  • @havaneros One mostly finished? Do you understand the decades of complexities behind those wars? Republican leaders got us into both, leaders from both parties made mistakes that kept us there, and now we're in it for the long haul. The anti-war movement was far too hopeful. We're not leaving until we've cleaned up the messes we caused, and that may not be for many more years. Also, keep in mind that the people over there are volunteers. No one's forcing them to partake but them.

  • Find themselves unable to muster the moral courage it takes to apply enhanced interrogation techniques on on those terrorists. They would much rather people die to uphold some grandeous , inflated idea that if we hurt those that want to kill us by the dozens , we are somehow becoming like those people. To the contrary, we hurt those terrorists with those techniques in order to keep us from losing our sanity and wiping them off the face of the earth for repeated acts of terror. Liberals are the

  • I want everyone to get an understanding of liberal hypocrisy. For decades, liberal actoers have portrayed heroes and heroines that are put in difficult circumstances and find themselves having to shoot someone, beat someone , or kill someone to get the information they need to save their loved ones or avenge their deaths. These same actors have no problem making their careers off of such movies. Yet, when faced with a real life situation in which hundreds can be killed by terrorists , liberals

  • Thanks for saving me 10 bucks

  • DiCrapio is a hypocrite. After all, he lectures everyone else on saving the earth, but he flies around in private jets.

  • From the way they are promoting the movie it sounds as if it's about how reading the Huffington Post implants alot of hatred, snobbery, elitism and ignorance into your mind, creating a huge nightmare for anyone unfortunate enough to have to listen to you speak.

  • Wow, i was actually looking forward to seeing this flick until i heard this condescending nonsense. Are there any actors/actresses that have enough respect for their audience to not talk down to them anymore? It sure doesn't look like it.

  • Comment removed

  • @vaticanantichrist I never said they didn't, free speech is a two way street and i have a right to criticize them whether you like it or not. I pay more attention to what's going on then a mindless Ron Paul worshipper like your self. As for getting over myself, you're the one leaving who the hell knows how many comments here, you're obviously under the impression peopla care what you think, hate to break it to you, but we don't.

  • Idiots. I'm not watching Inception.

  • Comment removed

  • Way to alienate a good chunk of the American movie-watching public! Great marketing scheme! /s

  • @mbs235 Uh...what's the big deal? Hollywood is seen as liberal, yet it's still wildy successful. Conservative movies like "An American Carol" failed

  • morans.

  • Middle America, Conservatives, and Patriots - Want to shut these left wing socialist liberals up ? Don't patronize their films. Boycott Hollywood, the bastion of Socialist Propoganda. Turn off the TV. Don't watch network news or watch their programs. They don't believe in God, but they do believe in Money. Hurt them where it really matters. Their wallet.

  • BP released a new Commercial...

  • also Ellen's from canada what did you really expect from her?

  • that guy was one of the many problems with G.I. Joe. Also Ellen Page is afraid of whats going to happen when we run out of oil, is that one of those ignorant fears? maybe. also just so people know since I feel the need to tell you I don't really like Sarah Palin or Dick Cheney but I don't like Obama either.

  • How can you people call it a masterpiece and its not even out yet. It wouldn't be so laughable if these actors were such hypocrites. They drive a hybrid but burner a shit load of fuel flying all over the place making these movies and expect me to cut back on my carbon foot print. I'll see a leo film when he starts flying coach like the rest of us and shuts his mouth about the environment.

  • So, most of you people don't wanna watch the film because you don't like what they said in the interview? That is so amazing. You guys are an inspiration to all of us. Why, you'd sacrifice watching a masterpiece just to prove a point? That is so nice of you. I will be thinking of you guys when I'm watching Inception

  • @mad66crow: "...you'd sacrifice watching a masterpiece just to prove a point?"

    Sacrifice? Masterpiece? Riiiiiight, lay off the Kool-aid, child. You'll go blind!

    Show business is a, ahem, BUSINESS. If one doesn't like the counter service, they needn't patronize a store. No reason MOVIES should be treated any different, unless you're into self-abuse.

    ...Please remove your head from that cullo.

  • @PoliticallyBlazed Judging from your user name I can see that you're probably big on politics and have your whole life revolved around it. I on the other hand have my life revolved around films. I practically don't give a shit what any of the actors/actresses have to say outside the film. Orson Welles was a known leftist and voiced his hard criticism for the opposites. You'd think I wouldn't watch Citizen Kane because of that?? I just care about the film and only the film.

  • @mad66crow: "...I just care about the film and only the film."

    Great, then watch it.

    But don't criticize others because they don't like whacked-out politics, expressed by the "actors" of a non-political film. A stupid move on their part considering a recent James Carville poll, determined 55% of Americans view Obama as a Socialist. Meaning; actors should stick to acting not alienating a majority of their audience, my making POLITICAL COMMENT through a -- non-political -- film presser.

  • @PoliticallyBlazed Fair enough. But, I still don't understand how people can get so riled up from a comment made by a 'Hollywood' actor and actress.. But if a lot of people are saying they're boycotting the film to hurt its sales, I don't think that would do much. Look at Mel Gibson's Apocalypto.

  • @mad66crow: "...I still don't understand how people can get so riled up..."

    Because MOST Americans (as the polls sustain) find the hypocrisy of DiCaprio, Garofalo, Michael Moore and that ilk insulting if not disrespectful -- oddly while demanding "respect" for their causes. At the core it's not the CAUSES people rail against, nor the comment(s) per se, but the all too common failure to walk-the-talk!

    Audiences don't like fakes. Incidents from Uncle Don to Milli Vanilli prove as much.
