Am I the only NSer to have watched this film? It is unbelievably amusing, outrageous, and frankly provocative. I fucking loved it.:)

I haven't seen it yet, but I want to.

Its unbelievable. How on earth he gets away with calling a black senator "a genuine chocolate-face" is beyond me...

Comedic license enhanced by the absurdity of the character.

None of the theaters in my area have it :(

To see it I'd have to drive the fifty miles to Lansing.

As do I

Nice work, Chris. I'll be down the Odeon on Monday, I reckon. Back in Colchester for the week. WHEEEEEEEY!:D

We took over an entire screen. It was hilarious.:p

It doesn't come out till tomorrow unfortunately :( And me and my friends were gonna go see it then but that seems to have fallen through :(

Wanna see!

Skipping that one. Sasha Cohen has never struck me as being funny. His Ali G character had me deciding he is an abject idiot.

yeh, i never really watched his other stuff, never really grabbed me. but my friends are going to see it so i'll probably go too seeing as they've already seen all the films i want to see.

I think that making fun of a foreign guy would get old after about 30 minutes.

Not that crazy about the Borat character, though I did see a good one where he talked to our local traffic enforcement committee.

I'm going to see this on Sunday. Should be a laugh. Everyone I know whats to see it and with good reason......

" If movie film not popular I will be execute."

I'll probably get it on DVD someday.

I looks forward to seeing this film.

I think Borat is a much funnier character than Ali G, but I'm not sure how funny it will be for a whole film.

You completely miss the point.

Yes, I'm a little worried about that... Anyway, it comes out in 2 weeks here. I may go and see it.

It was better than I expected. First time I heared so many people laughing in the theatre.

He, I can see it sooner than England and France. :)

I am planning on seeing it next week. I am looking forward to it. The only bad review I have seen so far was someone that clearly didn't understand the point of Borat.

Marne's not far from Belgium is it (if I remember my WWI battlefields correctly)? You could pop over the border & see it tonight! :p

what was the line i heard in the preview..

"Kazakstan supports americas war of terror"!

(thunderous american applause)


got to see the film

I really want to see it. After all, if it not success, Borat will be execute.

None of the theaters in my area have it :(

Are you in Mt Pleasant? I'd be surprised if Celebration Cinema didn't have it.

I not seen it yet. :(

Did anyone watch Jonathon Ross interview Borat? Is nice!

I think I'm seeing it tomorrow. Though I'd prefer to see it on Sunday, because it'll be cheaper and there won't be so many wankers at the cinema.

I'm going to watch it later today

I not seen it yet. :(

They interviewed him for the Today Show. Could barely get through it without falling out of his chair laughing.

You're thinking of the département Marne, which is in Champagne-Ardenne. I'm in Bry-sur-Marne, a smallish town on the river Marne, not far from Paris.

I can wait a few days. ;)

I guess they're not going to use voice-overs for this one, right? It would ruin the effect (well, it ruins all films in my opnion).

The election process was a bit over the top.

He was on Opie and Anthony this morning. He killed.

I just got back from seeing it, it was hilarious!

Yes I agree, people who say or think things that the rest of society has deemed inapproite or politically incorrect should be tortured and/or killed on
site. I think that would make people in this world so much more tolerant and lead to an era of peace and harmony.

Just back from seeing it (and yes, the first thing I do is come on General. Oh, what little life I have). It was one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Particular highlights (spoilers):at dinner with the pastor and others - "you two would be very attractive in Kazakhstan. You [pastor's wife] not so much."; the naked wrestling scene; the whole rodeo scene, especially the guy saying "it's them people [gays] we're trying to get rid of". :D

I saw it last night. I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life.

It is pointless, offensive, rude, crude and insensitive. I love it! There's nudity and a bear that's also nude... and an ice cream truck.

I saw it today and.........

HILARIOUS! Oh the rodeo scene and the hotels and wedding sacks!

every scene(except the gay porn) was brilliant.
i just saw it this moring.

I saw it today, it was well worth the money. How did they get away with the penultimate scene in the bookshop?!

loved it. I was expecting to hate it, but really, it was good. Makes me fear the south a little more at times, namely the part about gays.

I saw the movie on Friday and have to say it is the funniest movie I've seen in a long time.

It's sunk a bit, but this thread's been done. It is a very funny film, though.

I not seen yet the movie film for reason not knowed.

I NEED TO MAKE SOME FRIENDS SO I CAN GO SEE THIS FILM!





I mean... I need to get my friends to see this film... I have friends, who said I didn't!?

Why do you need friends to go to the cinema? It's an inherently unsocial activity.

That is pretty true. My fraternity stopped making movies brother events because we don't socialize during them.

I really wanna see that film, looks so funny!

It's nice to see that the Jews and others he insults are not so up in arms about it too, shows that we're all civilised enough to recognise a joke when we see one. Imagine what would happen if he said that stuff about muslims?

I know the guy's Jewish himself, but if a muslim said that kinda stuff about other muslims, there would be uproar. Embassies & flags burning all over the place.

Of course the Jews aren't up in arms about it. We invented self depricating humor.

We love to laugh at ourselves. See any Mel Brooks film. Especially the "Springtim for Hitler" song in The Producers. Or you can see the Inquisition song in History of the World.

saw it last night. laughed my arse off, but i came away feeling somewhat dirty. it's just that kind of humour.

I wonder how this bastard goes about making lies about other people’s culture. How's that funny, especially when he doesn't share their culture. He's giving the wrong image of the country he portrays to be from, when he's really a British!!! What's more inconceivable is that, this guy is profiting from this. If I see this bastard walk down on my street, I’d punch him in his mouth until he permanently starts speaking with that ridiculous accent. Funny thing is that I’m not even from the country he’s making fun of and I’m this pissed off, now, can you imagine how the ordinary people of Kazakhstan will react, when they discover this phony guy tarnishing them?

Hooray for the PC Nazis.:rolleyes:

Please get a sense of humor. I'm a Jew and don't take offense to any of the anti-semitic jokes in it.

You have to learn to laugh at yourself to truly grasp humor. (THat's why Jews love the movie The Hebrew Hammer)

As long as its in humor and not supposed to be a serious account of a culture, meh.




Never seen the Hebrew Hammer....

thats not true

You're right, only if a non-muslim said it there would be uproar :p

Almost everything in the movies is a lie. He's been doing Borat for years I don't know why they would be upset now.

I was going to see it with some friends yesterday, but if I'm not mistaken they changed the rating to R so I'll just wait to get it on DVD or something.

what i got from the film was that he was taking the piss out of the US far more than he was of Kazakhstan. the whole premise of the character is that it's a ridiculous parody. everyone knows that he's a ridiculous character, only the very stupid would think that it's an actual representation of a kazakhstan native.

It's a brilliant coup to extract honest responses from everyday people. In Germany there's a French actor, "Alphonse", who goes around with a baguette and a microphone asking people questions like "Would you rather be homosexual or a politician?" or "If there are any more floods in Saxony, shouldn't their water bills be lowered?" This kind of naive question get people answering before their p.c. minds can catch up with their mouths.

Being a couch potato I'll certainly see BorAt, but not until he's on TV here.

They already invited him to visit the country (although maybe they want to arrest him as soon as he gets out of the plane)

I have a wife and a 6mo son. I don't get to see movies anymore. :( Except Disney movies or Baby Einstein repeated ad nauseam.

Just a shot in the dark, but you haven't seen the movie, have you?

He isn't even talking so much about Kazakh culture. Yeah, he makes a few jokes (The Running of the Jews), but they are so over the top, that it is blatant, and really, some of the least amusing parts of the movie (don't get me wrong. They're funny. Just not as funny).

He's talking about American culture. When he says says he hopes Bush can drink the blood of every Iraqi, and the people cheer. When he says that in Kazakhstan, then hang gays, and a man says we're trying to do that same thing here. That is the point of his comedy...not attacking Kazakhstan.

I suggest seeing a movie before you criticize it. You really look foolish accusing Cohen of something he doesn't do.

yeah, ut sad that muslims have no sense of humour.
