Default Borat - The Movie

Anyone see the advance screening of Borat this past Thursday at Eau Claire? Insanely funny. Probably one of the most extreme and "un-pc" movies I've ever seen in a major theatre.

Looking forward to seeing it - looks downright hilarious. Good article on Borat and the film in this week's EW for those interested (cover story actually)

Borat is hilarious. Can't wait to see the movie. I can spend hours browsing Borat clips on youtube. Here is one of my favourites:

Borat is freaking hilarious. Sasha Cohen is one smart funny man. I just can't beleive he can dupe so many people into giving him interviews on his show.

Will be going to see this movie for SURE with a bunch of my friends...but not opening day.

IT'S NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

I can't friggin wait for this movie. Opening night for sure. Here is a 'best of' before he brought his act to America. Personally I think the British clips are funnier.

100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes right now. I look forward to it, but will probably just rent it.

This is seemingly a really strong year for good films. The Departed, Stranger Than Fiction, Flags of our Fathers and For your Consideration to name a few.
And this film is so number 1 on my list of movies to see.
So excited.

There are some deleted Borat scenes out there at the moment. The Cheese one is perhaps one of the funniest Borat segments ever.
Oh and heads up that he's on the Daily Show the week of the 30th sometime.

You guys won't be dissapointed. I sprayed pop out of my mouth twice. I felt like a moron but I'd never laughed so uncontrollably at a movie before. I'm going again opening night.

I don't know about this one. The show is good and all (the Brit version a bit better), but this movie from all accounts looks scripted. Thing that makes this show good is that it's not scripted, and if the movie is, it doesn't have the same feel, and I won't personally see it.

It's not scripted. Improvised just like the show.

Originally they tried to script it and realized it just woudln't work so just went out with a camera and Borat and let it happen.

I read an article where they were saying at one point the cops were called on them while in Texas I believe, and 'Borat' stayed in character the entire time while the cops were interrogating them and the rest of the crew was cracking up.

I love the one when he auditions for some play and he re-enacts a Kazahk action TV show.

The "Throw the Jew down a well" song he sings at the country bar cracks me. How can people be THAT ****ing dumb?

I also like his Austria Gay TV guy when he goes to spring break in Florida.

I remember fiding clips of the british version of Da Ali G show like 10 years ago on the Internet. Its crazy how much he has taken off recently. His next movie is with Johnny Depp and he is doing one with Tina Fey.

Cohen is a f'ing genious. One of the few shows on TV that can make me laugh out loud, can't wait to see the movie.
