Not very "silly or funny" but it's quite a confutation of previous assumptions
Castro at the Lincoln Memorial Between April 15 and April 26 1959–a few months after he took power in Cuba–Fidel Castro went to the United States, invited by the American Society of Newspaper Editors. In one of those forgotten episodes of the Cold War, Castro went to the US for loans. Castro hired one of the best public relations firms to present his new government. Castro answered impertinent questions jokingly and ate hot dogs and hamburgers. His rumpled fatigues and scruffy beard cut a popular figure easily promoted as an authentic hero. However President Eisenhower did not believed Castro’s talk of neutralism in the Cold War. Instead of meeting Castro, Eisenhower left Washington to play golf. Vice President Nixon met Castro in a 3-hour long meeting. Nixon asked about elections, and Castro told him that the Cuban people did not want elections. Nixon complained that Castro was “either incredibly naive about communism or under communist discipline.” His guess, he said, was the former. Fidel Castro laid a wreath at the Lincoln Memorial–where the moment was immortalized by his photographer Alfredo Korda–and he met the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and told them that he would not expropriate the property of Americans and that he was against dictatorships and for a free press. He went back to Cuba denying that he was a communist because communism was the dictatorship of a single class and meant hatred and class struggle. After his visit to the United States, he would go on to join forces with the Soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev, signing into law many Communist-inspired laws starting the next month. Fidel Castro remained an admirer of Abraham Lincoln for the next half a century. He had a bust of Lincoln in his office, and wrote that Lincoln was devoted “to the just idea that all citizens are born free and equal”, and once even saying, “Long Live Lincoln!” [Iconic Photos.]

"I know that I am called the "Prince of independent cinema", but the films of Michael Bay's finances not my name in the credits. The name of the independent film does not pay the bills. Play evil, frustrated in life, destructive mood of the characters I'm not interested. I always try to ensure that the screen was a man, and the director found a way to do it, if not sympathetic, then at least somehow tolerated. In most games played by me scum are qualities that Steve Buscemi admires. It's the guys who is torn from the life that she can give them. They want so much to them at least some praise. But such people, it seems not. Steve Buscemi rides the subway, I like to be in public, rather than hide from it. The status of the star is useful only when you urgently need a table in a crowded restaurant. But in everyday life it is simply a hindrance. My heroes are usually killed in the first third of the militants. And okay, I complain about sin. I participated in a great movie, filmed in stunning directors. And I'm just thankful to be working with people caliber Coen and Tarantino. Imagine that in Paris there is a special subway station, which is used only for film and photography. I've never been able to independently find an agent. He appeared before me as if by accident. In fact, I do not drink very often. But there is, of course, thwarted. But I even like it. I do not know specifically whether my Coen brothers wrote the role in the story of the anthology "Paris, I Love You", but since I was there beaten to death - do not be surprised if I was their main candidate. I reject some of the roles, if they, in my opinion, there is no room for the study of character. Then, I already called "cinematic spam, sometimes you say" no ". Being an actor - is to expose some of the features of his personality on public display. I'm doing my job, and let herself speaks for itself. I did not push forward, not aggressively pursue their goals. While this does not mean that I do not try to do their best job possible. At the beginning of a career you can not afford to choose. Do you play than the offer. And yet I never shot for the money in the movies, which he knew beforehand that they are crap. The fact that Steve Buscemi is now - the result of years of hard work. I hope that is not the final result. The desire to be a director came out when I was still working in the theater. We are with my friend Mark Boone Junior together and came up with, or produced, and prepared our speeches. For me, the paparazzi do not run some of my celebrity? I like the ill-starred, eternally cranky insect." — Steve Buscemi

photography: by Murray Garrett - - - - - Kurt Cobain - thought that both he and cats share: "It's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings."

The Three Stooges Holding Bowler Hats ; Hollywood, June 14, 1963 ; © Bettmann/CORBIS It's not every movie star who has his teeth extracted by getting hit in the face with a shovel, but then Moe Howard is not every movie star. In fact, he's hardly any movie star at all. Without Curly Joe De Rita, (L), and Larry Fine (R), who comprise the other two thirds of the Three Stooges, he might find a more accepted means of having his bridgework rearranged. The "Stooges" just completed their 204th movie, a full-length feature with the title of "The Three Stooges Go Round The World in a Daze". [corbis.]

Steven Spielberg in the mouth of his animatronic behemoth and blockbuster beast, 'Jaws' (does anybody remember if and/or what they called the robot? Somehow, I think they referred to it as 'Larry', as I've must've been informed by some sort of documentary on the film... wup, nevermind, I just found it out... Shark's name was 'Bruce'... tied right into my alliteration above)
