Ellen to Donald Trump: Watch Finding Dory Closely!

In her opening monologue for today"s episode of her very popular talk show, Ellen DeGeneres refused to discuss something very unpopular among her fellow celebrities:


Donald Trump"s new immigration policy.


You can click HERE to see what Ellen"s fellow stars have said about this controversial executive order, which bans the entry of refugees into the United States from seven predominantly Muslim nations.


But, nope, Ellen didn"t want to talk about this new law on air.


She just wanted to talk about the plot to Finding Dory.



This also seemed relevant because reporters confirmed that Trump and his family screened the beloved movie (which, of course, features the voice DeGeneres for the main character) in the White House on Saturday.


"Finding Dory is about a fish named Dory," Ellen explains in the following clip.


"Dory lives in Australia and these are her parents, and they live in America. And I don’t know what religion they are, but her dad sounds a little Jewish. It doesn"t matter.


"Dory arrives in America with her friends Marlin and Nemo. She ends up at the Marine Life Institute behind a large wall. They all have to get over the wall and you won’t believe it, but that wall has almost no effect in keeping them out."


Hmmm… wait a second.


Might Ellen be using this summary as a way to make a larger point about what"s happening in the country?


Might she be making a similar point as that of her co-star, Albert Brooks, who Tweeted over the weekend:


"Odd that Trump is watching Finding Dory today, a movie about reuniting with family when he"s preventing it in real life."

Sausage Party: Seth Rogen"s R-Rated Cartoon Trailer Plays Before Finding Dory

Oh, hell.  The hot dogs are dropping F-bombs.


Seth Rogen has a new animated comedy out, and it"s called Sausage Party.


According to Urban Dictionary, a "sausage party" is described as such:


"A party, where girls are outnumbered by guys (by far). So basically, a fuckin boring party where theres no possibility of gettin layed, and where the guys are gettin mad drunk to forget about it."


Rogen"s comedy follows a group of supermarket foods, led by one sausage, who find out the hard way what happens after they leave the grocery store.


According to Us Weekly, the trailer for Sausage Party was accidentally shown before Finding Dory in one theater at Brenden Concord 14 theaters in Concord, California.


Initially reported by Entertainment Weekly, parents complained to management at the complex after their kids watched the R-rated preview.


"Playing that trailer was a one-time honest mistake by a theater manager moving screens around in effort to accommodate several large last-minute groups wanting to see Dory,” the movie theater"s VP of operations Walter Eichinger told East Bay Times soon after.


“The wrong movie was started by mistake. It was caught soon, but not until the trailer played. We regret it, apologize for it, and we are not happy that it happened.


"We fully realize this trailer is not appropriate for Dory and we would never schedule something like that.


"The trailer for Sausage Party is not and never has been scheduled with Dory.“


Rogen, on the other hand, loved it.


"This made my day," he tweeted with a link to the story.


Co-writer Evan Goldberg admitted that he, Rogen and Jonah Hill came up with the idea while smoking pot on a couch.


"We should make a movie called "Sausage Party."  What would it be?"" Goldberg told the audience of their conversation during a 2014 Producer"s Guild of America panel.


"We would always joke because (the press) would always ask us, "What are you doing next?"" Rogen added.


"And it became a joke, that we would all say, "Oh, we"re doing a movie called Sausage Party," because that just sounded like the movie we would all be doing next."


Goldberg explained that it just snowballed from there.


"We started with "So, it"s a bunch of dudes…and Jonah was eventually like, "what if it was literal sausages?"" 


"And then it just became our passion project," he said.


"The metaphor was very "in your face.""


"We"re literally just playing phallic objects now," Rogen told the audience.

Finding Dory Trailer: An Unforgettable Adventure

Are you ready to get lost at sea again?


Pixar sure is.


About 13 years after audiences ate up Finding Nemo at the theater, the company is set to release Finding Dory, another animated adventure that centers on a lost fish, the same fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres in the original smash hit film.


This time around, Nemo is the one who must go on a rescue mission, accompanying his forgetful friend as she goes off in search of her family.


At least she thinks that"s what she"s doing. Dory doesn"t exactly have the best memory in the world.


She doesn"t really have any memory at all, for that matter. Which is just one of the reasons why we love her so much.


DeGeneres will return as the voice of Dory in this sequel, while Diane Keaton, Albert Brooks, Idris Elba, Ty Burrell and Dominic West will also lend their voices to the film.


Finding Dory is scheduled to hit theaters on June 17, 2016 and its official tagline reads as follows:


The friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish reunites with her loved ones, and everyone learns a few things about the true meaning of family along the way.


We can"t wait, especially considering what the trailer says about Finding Dory:


An unforgettable adventure she probably won"t remember.


We love it.
