Quoted for sheer awesomeness.

Bud: Credit is a sacred trust, it's what our free society is founded on. Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? I said, do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?
Otto: They don't pay bills in Russia, it's all free.
Bud: All free? Free my ass. What are you, a f'in commie? Huh?
Otto: No, I ain't no commie.
Bud: Well, you better not be. I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either.

Awww were some of your friends in that movie?

I thought Borat was hilarious. But I like seeing ignorance exposed. Perhaps its a little easier for Canadians to laugh since he wasn't parading around small town Canada showing our racists and ignoramuses. That might hit a little closer to home. But the non-American world loves making fun of stupid Americans. I also like awkward humour. Borat inserts himself in some very awkward situations. Clearly you empathized with the people made to feel awkward. Shows like the Office (both British and American) are driven by this awkward type of humour.

The wrestling scene is interesting in that it made it awkward for members of the studio audience. I'm guessing you didn't watch this one in theatres but when I did on opening night that scene probably caused the most hysterical laughter of the whole movie which definitely surprised me. Why? I suspect it had to a lot with people evaluating the reaction of their friends or being shocked at their own reaction of disgust. Homophobes would feel super uncomfortable and probably shut their eyes and look away. I wonder what psychologists would make of the in-theatre reaction to that scene, I remember being struck by it.

I'm not sure what I would have made of Borat had I not been exposed to Ali G, Borat and Bruno extensively before. But yeah, count me in the damn funny camp.

Borat was pure and utter garbage. Being a jackass isn't comedic genius, it's just effing lazy.

[lucky1]

Evil Dead, and subsequent sequels...pure gold!

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Making fun of Jews, gays, ######s, women, blacks, red necks, and Americans as a whole is funny as hell.

Borat was awesome, saw it three times in the theatres, each time, the audience was insane..........

There's a lot to be said about people that saw Borat after hearing so many good things about it or having half the jokes ruined before they saw it........it's all about expectations.

[DESS]

Meet The Fockers was terrible.

I just saw Punisher: War Zone. Missed the mark a bit but considering it is a mindless action movie and was reasonably faithful to the Punisher character I know from the comics I'd recommend it.

I think it was better than Wolverine that is for sure.

^^There were some very creative kill scenes in that one, that guy that got the missile while he was jumping from one building to the next had me in tears!

[CrusaderPi]

I watched "Kill the Beast" on AMC Friday night. A black jive talking millionaire invited several suspected werewolves to his compound to kill them. I love it when suck transcends decades.

It was brutally obvious that Borat was staged.

Good grief people. You think those were real reactions?

Why is that stuff 'funny as hell'?

Best: Forrest Gump and Gladiator in a tie

Worst: Probably Daredevil. And I know this is going to give me flack.....but Grindhouse was terrible.

I didn't see Planet Terror, but I thought Death Proof was hilarious. Plus, I loved the homage paid to Vanishing Point.

[Stormchaser]

Pure crap was Life Aquatic with Bill Murray in the submarine. Had the worst Menu music as well.

On the other side of the coin, Ghostbusters starring Bill Murray is pure gold!

Well I guess no one told you but only about 1/3 of that movie was staged. Next time do a little research before you run your mouth. His TV show had dozens and dozens of mostly not staged events.

I seriously doubt it.

You're a complete ass by the way.

Thanks, but you're the one cussing out people and implying they are stupid for thinking that a movie that was 75% real is actually real.

Hate to break it to you but you shouldn't be condescending until you know you aren't blowing hot air.
