10-second commentary: "Borat"

[geekchick]

Painfully funny. Emphasis on the "painful". It is absolutely ASTOUNDING what people will say on camera.

As the reviewer for the Rocky Mountain News puts it:
"Don't see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan if you're easily offended by . . . Never mind, the list is so long I might bust the paper's newsprint budget if I elaborate." Given that he stayed in character the whole time and that most people were apparently not in on the joke, I'm impressed that Sacha Baron Cohen made it out of some of these places without serious bodily injury.

Did you really see it? He certainly does getting people to say amazingly stupid, embarassing and revealing things on his TV show.

Yep, we saw the movie tonight.

The release of this one somehow escaped me, but now I might go see it...

You missed the whole uproar with the government of Kazakhstan getting its panties in a knot over the movie? XD Among other things, they took out huge ad in the New York Times extolling the virtues of Kazakhstan to counter the film.

I spent about a third of the movie with my hands over my eyes, and the rest laughing harder than I've laughed at a movie in recent memory.

I just might have been scarred for life by certain scenes!
