Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Anyone see this one yet? Apparently it aired at some of the film festivals.

Ali G’s boy, Borat.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Plot Outline: Kazakhstani TV talking head Borat (Cohen) is dispatched to the United States to report on the greatest country in the world. With a documentary crew in tow, Borat becomes more interested in locating and marrying Pamela Anderson. (more) (view trailer)

I have become very skeptical in my movie choices in the past few years because there is so much suckage out there.

Opinions?

There’s already a thread about it, but since it doesn’t have the full and glorious title in the thread name I can see how a quick search must have missed it. :)

yeah I did do a search for it first…and didn’t find anything…

since the glorious title is in this thread, as you have correctly identified, I hereby proclaim this the original thread.

(I am sure the other thread has been hijacked anyways in good QT3 fashion – prolly talking about Pam Anderson’s tits or something)

Yeah, it was a huge hit at the Toronto film festival.

For anyone in the Toronto area, if you happen to go see the movie on the Friday afternoon when it comes out at the Paramount downtown, you may be in a theatre full of rowdy civil engineering students.

I’m just saying.

Yagshemash!

Where can I see the Pamela Anderson?

Kazakhstan redefines the term Marketing Dollars:

The Kazakhstan central bank has misspelled the word “bank” on its new notes, officials said Wednesday.

It’s a trap! Don’t go!

<insert standard rant>

Honestly don’t get the appeal of this guy, but then David walliams was on Paramount years before Little Britain and was just as painfully unfunny as Cohen

Do you hate him cause he is black?

Stop being racialist.

Actually I feel the same way about Mike Meyers and the whole Austin Powers thing. I tried to watch the first movie a couple of times but it just bored me to death. Go figure.

My eyes, such heresy! Little Britain rocks. I’ve got some episodes permanently TIVO’d for when I need a good laugh.

This is how I felt about Ali G, with Borat being the part where he actually ends up being great.

Do you hate him cause he is black?

No, just for being so painfully unfunny that I can only stare in bemused wonder at the number of people who found Ali G, yet another make the dumb celebrities look dumb show, the pinnacle of comedy. I did see anything different in the few seconds of Borat I inadvertantly watched whilst diving for the remote control to turn it over to the weather channel. I honestly have not seen anything by this guy that get the appeal of. Ali G as a 5 minute sketch would have been ok, 5 fucking years of “is it because I is black” is enough, stop giving this twat contracts to wheel out the same tired shit for the love of god, please. I’ll buy the triple disc box set of Celine Dion, Gerri Halliwell and Robbie Williams and play them on a permanent loop if you’ll never, ever let this guy do anything on TV again.

If they ever repeat it, I’ll forward you the crap he was churning out a few years ago, at least they had the deceny to kill off Little Britain before they totally flogged every joke and punchline to death.

Your injury is one of ignorance and pride.

I kind of liked Little Britain, but I’m going to have to degree with you on this.

Every joke had been beaten to death by the end of Season 2.

As satire, Austin Powers require a basic knowledge of the Bond films.

And a soul.

How do you degree with someone? Is it like ungreeing?

And now I’m getting the third degree…
