    Borat...

    ...Thought it was good/OK, but not as good as the hype...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I still haven't gotten around to watching it, it's something about all the hype around such movies that puts me off. The same thing with Snakes on a Plane, hype-wise, I only just watched it a few days ago (and enjoyed it).

    So I'll wait a little while until I see Borat, wait until the hype dies down...

    i nearly bust a gut laughing, but i suspect it's because i'm a sucker for that kind of lowbrow humour & i love acts like baron cohen's and that dennis pennis thing.

    it is kinda politically & ethically questionable though. you can say "Oh well its funny because his character highlights the ignorance of the people he comes into contact with", which is very true, but i feel it's also true that a lot of the humour comes from a negative stereotype of eastern european/arabian men that is held by many westerners which he capitalises upon. nobody wants to admit it though!

    but still, it's undeniably at least kinda funny, and in a whole different league to the ali g movie.

    Those frat boys must be of the Phil "Chris Morris duped my totally retarded ass" Collins school of not knowing when to shut the f*ck up, and save a shred of face.
