Borat
« on: November 04, 2006, 12:26:06 am »
I was excited to see Borat.  I'm a big fan of his bit on The Ali G Show. 

However, I was sorely disappointed.  Big time. 

All the best jokes were on commercials, and the commercials were way over-played here, to the point where I could have easily talked along with the best scenes, so those were no fun.

There are a lot of pointlessly disgusting scenes, like a very long scene with two gross naked guys fighting each other. 

The plot was weak and didn't go anywhere fast. 

I think he should stick to 10-minute bites, and not to full-length movies.

Posting != reading a board
And reading a thread != reading a board -- I read threads that I posted

Aha! But first of all, you would of had to have found out that no one else had posted a topic on this movie.  Therefore, you read this board.

Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

That's an unusual take on a movie everyone else seems to really like iago.  Even a vast majority of critics on the internet are praising it -- and they are usually ruthlessly scathing of mostly anything!

This movie was hilarious. (But I'm generally a fan of humor that makes fun of things people can't help, like race/sex/weight/etc.)

I didn't go two minutes without laughing the entire movie.

The fight scene was so funny. "EAT MY ASSHOLE!"

And yeah, I wanted more female/black jokes. Oh well.

I wonder which parts were staged & real.

Some things you flat out knew one way or the other, but those grey areas...hmm

I just watched it "legally" on my computer (DON'T ask me for a link.  ;) ), and I felt there was only a funny part every 6ish minutes and at 76 minutes... around 12.6 funny parts.  I really liked the Bear and the Ice Cream Truck

I saw it for free... and in a theater :P . I found it worth the money by far. I found it funny, but still disappointing, but worth my time by far.

It was worth the $ 0 you paid?
