If you liked Borat.....

Post by guild navigator »

This may have been mentioned before, but I decided to do a topic on it.
Heres the trailer for Bruno, which is Baron Cohen's new Borat-esque film.

Looks pretty good, what do you all think? Overkill?

I watched Borat over at a friends house over several bong hits and was laughing my ass off... until the naked wrestiling in the hotel room.

I really don't want to see his or any guys hairy ass again so I think I'll be skipping this one.

I still haven't seen Borat. I should, because it looks like one of those rare comedies that's actually worth it. I suppose I should rent it before the sequel :)

I have not laughed at a movie like Borat in years. The problem is that its such gutter comedy that you cant watch it again until you forget the gags. It just wont be anywhere near as funny the second time.

All the more reason I should rent the first movie. It's worth a shot.

Borat was brilliant. :)

Not sure about the new one - Bruno was always the weakest bit of the TV show..:? Hopefully they can turn it around for the movie.

Agreed. That naked fight scene was hilarious. I don't remember the last time I laughed in a theater like that. I don't think it would be as funny a second time. I'll be seeing Bruno as well. I'm a huge fan of comics who expose people's prejudices by letting them think they're superior to the interviewer.

I don't think I've seen the show since I was in high school. That said, Funkyzeit mit Bruno was pretty good as far as I remember, not sure if my tastes have changed in my old age.

Cant watch trailer at work will when I get home.. Borat was pretty dam funny.. Raw and on the edge.

If you like it.. try WALK HARD: The Dewy Cox story... and when it comes out on video (should be soon) Observe and Report.. the naked man rivals Borat!

What bothers me is that Ali G was the best part of the show, and a better movie. I guess it's just one of those things dumbed down for US audiences, but really it's already on the lowest rung of dumb so...

Borat was great, but the scene where he's wrestling naked with that fat guy makes me feel sick. :puke:

Is this the ass that Eminen saw? :) (I didn't know this actor until the Eminen incident)

That was Borat. The fat guy's ass was what was nauseating. :puke:

I guess it was less nauseating than the new McDune novels ;)
