Ketchup, I read that the studios were very surprised at the attendance records this weekend and are expanding the distribution, so it may be coming to a theatre near you soon. FYI Definitely not for kids!!!!

BTW, you can see (I think) five deleted scenes from Borat on You Tube. And they're hysterical Search "Borat deleted"

Just got home from seeing it. Great movie for election day! "I hope George Bush drinks the blood of every man, woman and child of Iraq!" LOL

Ummm....the fight with his producer!?! Hilarious!!

And the lesson in manners along with the subsequent dinner party clips were funny too.

Great success!! High five!!



Oh and how can I forget them throwing money at the shape-shifting Jewish cockroaches!!

Hello Vaneela face!!

Humiliated frat boys sue 'Borat'

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Two fraternity members from a South Carolina university are suing over their appearance in the hit movie "Borat," saying they were duped into making racist and sexist remarks.

The legal action filed Thursday on their behalf claims they were tricked into appearing in the spoof documentary "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

The young men "engaged in behavior that they otherwise would not have engaged in," the lawsuit said.

one of the few movies i disliked - but i never like comedy that is just for easy laughs - i think they could have done much better if they wanted to -

The more I read about it, the more this movie is getting under my skin. Here is an article about the village they used to portray Borat's "home town". Disgusting...

I sorta agree, Spoton -- the more I hear about the movie, the less I want to see it or have anything to do with it. Just a personal opinion.

They were talking about the movie on GMA this morning and it seems he duped many people. I had to laugh when they told of the guy who punched him in New York.

This is a very funny movie. If people feel they were 'duped', it just means they were 'outsmarted'. It hurts to feel that way, but there you go. If you see this movie, you will laugh. But I understand it's not for everyone.

The problem I have with some of the people who were duped is that they were very poor people with nothing. They were all told they were part of a documentary which would imply a serious film. Instead they were mocked and laughed at.

I guess the PC rules don't apply if comedy is involved.

Hmm, I had no idea. I don't think I'm interested in seeing this, if that's the case.

when is it ever ok to be lied to - there shouldnt be different standards when someone flat out lies about something.

Agreed, LB. However, being lied to AND taken advantage of and ridiculed burns me more than a simple lie. I guess the effects/purpose of the lie can make a difference for me.

interesting tidbit - the lawyer representing the Univ of South Carolina boys in the lawsuit is Olivier from that reality lawyer show that was taken off NBC a couple of years ago

There is RARELY political correctness in comedy. Most humour comes from another's misfortune - from slipping on a banana peel, to the village rapist. I am no longer satisfied with laughing at Cat in the Hat rhyme sounds, like a pre-schooler.

To me, schadenfreude is schadenfreude.

That's true but in this case it was how some of the comedy was achieved.

This kind of thing has always been Sacha Baron Cohen's schtick. He takes advantage of people all the time....from interviewing political leaders, or drug experts, or religious leaders, or doctors, or everyday people. Some people think it's funny and others don't....just like some people think Larry the Cable Guy is funny and others don't.

BTW, another interesting thing about the CS students: apparently one of the people complaining about his portrayal has tons of pics of him drinking on his myspace page and comments about how he loves to get drunk every night! LOL! He didn't return Smoking Gun's calls.
