Borat!

[Buffy]

Hot movie this week! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan!

 

Is much controversy. Bah. You find offensive, Nyet?

 

Why why not?

I watched the precursor to it, "Da Ali G Show" on HBO, and found myself laughing, not because it was funny, but because I was so damn uncomfortable.

 

I'm not sure whether I will go see this one or not.

I'll probably end up going to see this - it just looks too damn funny too pass up.

Quotes:

Borat Sagdiyev: This is Natalya.

[He kisses her passionately]

Borat Sagdiyev: She is my sister. She is number four prostitute in whole of Kazakhstan.

[she holds up a trophy and smiles]

Borat Sagdiyev: Niiice!

 

I don't get out to see films, but this looks like da veener! Nyet nyet; da! Casting vote for #4.:naughty:

Just watching SNL (Saturday Night Live for you outlanders) and they opened with a skit lampooning Borat. Hilarious! If it weren't for Buffy bringing the character to my attention it wouldsn't have been 2/3's as funny. :confused:

Sacha Baron Cohen's next movie is tentatively titled:

Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt

No, I am not making this up

 

Oy veh,

Buffy

[Southtown]

Yeah, it's going to be way too politically devisive to pass up.

[Drip Curl Magic]

I've been a fan of Sacha for quite some time now.

 

Some of the interviews he has done on "Da Ali G show" are absolutely HILARIOUS.

 

I like how Sacha will be in character, saying stupid things to get the person he's interviewing to think they're dealing with a complete moron, while still being quick witted enough to manipulate the people he's interviewing into looking like idiots.

 

Super silly. I'll definately have to check it out.

Chanced on Borat last night on Conan O'Briiiiiennnn! :phones: Borat wrestled Conan down while wielding a pair of scissors in an attemp to collect Conan's red 'pubis' which apparently is very valuable commodity in Kazakhstan! I damn near chocked on my crackers.:xx:

[Turtle]

That Borat! He's makin' the rounds. I just caught him on the Jon Stuart (sp)show. After calling Madonna a transvestite, he commented that her "down there looks like two monkeys wrestling in a hammock". :xx: :phones:

[Buffy]

Yeah its Fox News, so its not spin free, but here's someone who's not so happy with Borat:

 

Dharma and … Borat? A 'Victim' Complains

 

There's something going on here but you don't know what it is, :phones:

“Because of him, my boss lost faith in my abilities and second-guessed everything I did thereafter,” she writes in Newsweek’s most recent issue...

 

Is that so wrong!? Can anyone say Peter Principle?

...do you, Mr. Jones? :shrug:

You are the Master o Slayer of Vampires! You have out-vauge-referenced me yet again. I genuflect longly and deeply in your general direction! :hihi:

[wine]

He's just some weird guy acting. An inevitable possibility.

He was so annoying as Ali G, but,

entertaining because yes-

He's just so awkward.

 

Mr. Jones just left, we had some tea.

Shoulda' seen his hat...

Discomfort makes for meaningful humor.

 

Satire is tragedy plus time, :phones:
