Wall of Mouths

I saw about two minutes where he tried to persuade some men to let him cup their testicles… not really my idea of comedy I’m afraid.

Pfft…some people.

Borat is Sacha Baron Cohen’s best character, and I think he’s funny. Mainly because he’s prepared to go there and pull off his character so well to the unexpecting.

Take for example when he’s talking to the feminists and he asks about women having smaller brains than men. They have no idea he’s kidding around which makes it funny.

Oh, and the “Throw the Jew Down the Well” song was another brilliant sketch, considering he is a jew and managed to get some Americans to sing along to it.

So there.

And no, I haven’t seen the film yet. And I saw him on the Woss show and thought he was funny. So there.

So there.

:D

I’ve been wanting to see this film since I saw the trailer. Saw him on the Jonathen Ross show and I was laughing, so I can’t wait.

i don’t know what to make of it…i thought he was funny 2 years ago, dunno if a whole movie will have the same effect. I’m gonna see James Bond instead. :)

But you just said you didn’t think he was funny.

“Jonathan, can I touch your testicles?”

Excuse me? In what way does that make people laugh? :rolleyes:

It is always sold out when I go!!! :(
I’m soo looking forward to see it! I’ll give it another try next friday, and I’ll be there DAMN early this time! :mad:

I did go to a cinema of the Kinepolis-group, but I’m pretty much against the one in Ghent… They do everyting to ruin your evening out! They encourage people to eat noisy snacks, they sell more expensive tickets for digital films, and if you have bought such an expensive ticket, you realise you have been screwed, as they play the regular version, with lots of visual clicks and errors…
They have THX-certificated rooms, but they wipe their asses with the THX-requirements, they don’t even play the THX-trailer, NO advert to shut down your mobile phone, or to keep quiet during the film, but use the time they would waste on the THX-trailer to play their adverts to encourage the people to buy their noisy snacks instead, … resulting in, having to watch your film in noisy surroundings…
The cinema is located next to THE student area in Ghent and is surrounded by pubs… they’re giving all sorts of reductions for students, a good thing, but not it you’re located next to their drinking area!!!! Lot’s of people go to the cinema after hanging in that area, and have a few pints, when they’re in the cinema, they seem to think they’re still in the pub, and don’t bother to shut their fucking mouths!!!!

My first thought was also to buy the tickets online, but having the thoughts about that cinema like the ones you can read above, and go to their website and realise that online orders cost 0,20 € more, just because they don’t have to lift their asses and have to do NOTHING if you order online, there just is no easier way for them… I refuse to buy my tickets online (for Ghent), it’s not about the 20 cents, it’s just the thought, even it if was just 0,01€ extra costs I would refuse!

No offence to Metropolis, Antwerp (I haven’t been to the Kinepolis-cinema in Brussels yet), the location is perfect, and I haven’t noticed ANY of the above mentioned bothering elments there, I’d gladly pay a 0,20€ extra costs to be sure of a seat there, even if the extra cost was a few euro’s… I’m looking forward to the new cinema that is planned come in Ghent (Flanders Expo) weather it is Kinepolis or not, I’m sure the location is a lot better, a pity it’s not for the first few years :(

Not seen the film yet but i enjoyed the Borat specials that Channel 4 showed recently.

The scene where he and his manager have a naked FIGHT is the most mind-boggling television I have seen in forever.

I simply CANNOT believe the balls this man has to do this stuff.

Joe.

I am going to make the effort to go and see it this week I think!

Just saw it for the second time and I still laughed my ass off! :)

I’ve heard there’s various people suing the production company and Cohen about this movie. The people of Glob, Romania (which is represented as a village in Kasakhstan) thought it was a documentary about their village and were only paid 5 euro each for their parts. Also, the 3 college kids on the bus were promised that what they said would be only shown outside the US.

As for the movie itself, I thought it was ok. I’d love to know how much of it was spontaneous - I had a hard time believing the Pam Anderson part, for example. Surely she’d have a little more security than that? Plus the fact that the incident got as far as the car-park made it seem a little unlikely. Also, throughout the film, the various (multiple) camera positions would indicate that the “victims” would have been aware of what was going on.

Everything is spontaneous. If you check on IMDB the only actors listed are for the parts of Borat, Azamat and the fat prostitute. Pamela is mentioned as well, but that’s for legal purposes only I think. If you watch her initial reaction to Borat closely, you can see it’s genuine. I don’t think she’s that great an actress… ;)

It seems that for the Borat TV episodes, the whole crew of cameramen etc. pretended that Borat was a real Kazachstani reporter that hired them, a freelance crew. They pretended to be embarassed about the whole thing all the way through filming. I believe they employed the same technique for the movie.

I ve heard that you cant post something about Kazachstan on Wikipedia anymore because of Borat.
