Borat
 
Since I am turning against all forms of political correctness, and since I haven't been to a movie in the theatres in quite some time, I think a good comedy is in order:

I second that!

It looks extremely funny. I'm looking forward to seeing it. The TV segment (trailer)where he laughs at the feminists makes me chuckle every time I see it.

I think it is because many of folks in the US don't quite get it and take it literally.

Also maybe I am right or wrong but I think the anti-defamation league might not be too keen.

either that or you guys have realised he is sending up the midwest Americans, reinfrocing a negative stereotype and thus people don't like it.

If you take it satirically and read behind the face value joke there is a lot going on.

The trailers I've seen indicate he's going after the established thought (PC) of many in the US. I think I'll be very funny!!!!!

Aaah, but Borat and Sacha Baron Cohen have been on in the UK for years, he started as Ali G, and I believe Borat was a sketch on Da Ali G show.
So, to us from the UK, he's already a legend. ;)

Linton 10-26-06 06:30 PM

I seem to remember that in his Ali G persona he was in a Madonna video.Aye!

I saw some fotage of the New York unvelling, The horse-draw streched old car, the fermented Camal Urine, the lifesaver in a full body G-string:o:o:o:o

No wonder kazikstan isn't happy, but I wonder if the Americans who feature in the film will have the same reaction, as many didn't know that it was and act...

Torplexed 10-26-06 07:38 PM

I had on CNN headline news the other day and caught the end of a Borat story, and at the end of the clip he was in the green swimsuit and had to hold his crotch when he got up and adjusted the thong in the back. When they cut back to the female newscaster, she was shaking her head in shock, mouth wide open. :rotfl:

It looks like Russia has banned the film. :nope:

A senior official at Russia's culture ministry has told the BBC it will not provide a distribution licence.
And the article concludes with:
Quote:

A culture ministry official in Moscow told the BBC it had refused to issue a distribution licence because the film could potentially humiliate different ethnic groups and religions.

The official would not give any further details, except to say the distributors had the right to appeal against the government's decision.
What a sorry state of affairs. :down:
