Sacha Baron Cohen to play another Ali G alter ego
Article from: Agence France-Presse

September 10, 2007 11:00pm

SACHA Baron Cohen has secretly begun filming his new big screen spoof based on an outrageous Ali G character named Bruno.
The British funnyman is following-up his monster hit Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan with a feature film based on another of his politically-incorrect alter egos.

Cohen will play gay fashion reporter Bruno, one of the outrageous identities he introduced in his Ali G television series.

Production on the movie, which Cohen sold to Universal for a reported $50 million, is believed to have begun several weeks ago under a veil of secrecy.

There have been reported sightings of Cohen - in costume as the flamboyant Austrian television personality - attending low-key events around Los Angeles, accompanied by a small film crew.

Secrecy was paramount in the creation of Borat, with Cohen successfully hoodwinking people into believing he was a reporter from Kazakhstan who was visiting the US to do a serious report about American culture.

The film went on to top global box office takings and prompted several of the people unwittingly involved in the comedy hit to threaten Cohen with legal action.

As Cohen's profile has risen in the US following the success of Borat, it has become increasingly difficult for the 1.91cm-tall star to keep his identity secret as he films his new spoof.

Sources close to the production told News Limited that filming on the movie will take Cohen away from Los Angeles over the next few weeks, right as his fiancee - Australian actress Isla Fisher - is in the final stages of her pregnancy.

Friends of the couple told News Limited that they were planning to have the baby in LA, rather than return to his native London where they have a home in the exclusive suburb of Hampstead.

Fisher, 31, is due to give birth to the couple's first child in about five weeks and Cohen will take a break from filming to be by her side.

The former Home & Away starlet, who shares a lavish pad in the Hollywood Hills with the funnyman, recently told News Limited she had no plans to rush back to her movie career following the baby's arrival. "I don't want to put the pressure on myself to have to race back to something," Fisher said.

"So I'm just taking it easy and seeing how I feel."

Universal Pictures bought the rights to Bruno for a reported $55 million, with Cohen set to pocket a salary of about $16 million and 15 percent of the film's profits.

During Cohen's original television portrayal of Bruno, he duped everyday people and entertainment industry names to say ridiculous and often contradictory things.

Among the high-profile names to be successfully fooled by Cohen and featured on the series were supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Sophie Dahl, fashion designer Carolina Herrera and Hollywood hairdresser-to-the-stars Jonathan Antin.

To play Borat, Cohen spent six weeks growing body hair and a thick moustache while to become Bruno he has his hair shaved into a mohawk and his whole body waxed.

Bruno is being directed by English writer-producer Dan Mazer, who has collaborated with Cohen since he made his British television debut in 1998 on The 11 O'Clock Show as the spoof rapper Ali G.

The film is being produced by Hollywood veteran Jay Roach, who produced Borat and directed the three Austin Powers movies, Meet The Parents and Meet The Fokkers.

Cohen has also signed on to then star in Dinner for Schmucks, an English language remake of the French comedy Le Diner de Cons to be directed by Roach.

Cohen's Bruno Causes Trouble in Kansas
Source: TheBadandUgly.com
March 29, 2008


TheBadandUgly.com reports that "Borat" star Sacha Baron Cohen has been filming his next pic, "Bruno" (possible full title " Brüno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt"), in Kansas and has already caused problems at the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport. You can read what happened here!

In related news, /Film (which has a short video of the above) says a church in Kansas reported that a strange European camera crew showed up to their Easter play with the on air personality in chains. Ben Affleck was also reportedly fooled into believing he was being interviewed by a "very famous openly gay fashion journalist." More on this here (http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/03/28/sacha-baron-cohen-is-fking-with-ben-affleck/)!

Directed again by Dan Mazer ("Borat"), the comedy will be released by Universal Pictures.
The video is at the bottom of the link

Sounds like he got Affleck, hopefully that church was The Westboro Baptist:cmad:

[Prison Mike]

I can't wait to see this movie. I loved Borat and Bruno is hilarious.

[Spider-Vader]

YAY! I love "Da Ali G Show" so I'm looking forward to this. Damn, the title is longer than Borat's.

[tzarinna]

I'll see this. I wish I saw Borat when it first came out 'cause it makes me giggle no matter how many times I watch it, timeless.

[cerealkiller182]

Never found Bruno to be equally as funny as AliG or Borat. But watching homophobic guys get uncomfortable is pretty fun.

btw, long titles arnt funny Cohen. Stop doing them!

[Storm22]

Can't wait for this movie!! I'd say he's really gonna push the limits when it comes to annoying/provoking people. Borat was just a teaser for Bruno!

[Prison Mike]

Never found Bruno to be equally as funny as AliG or Borat. But watching homophobic guys get uncomfortable is pretty fun.

btw, long titles arnt funny Cohen. Stop doing them!

that's the best part. I want to see him go down to texas or mississippi and try that stuff on them. it will be hilarious.

[DieSmiling]

I loved Borat, so obviously I'll be seeing this. Funny to hear he tricked Affleck.

[Brian Braddock]

As a fan of both Borat's and Bruno's appearances on Ali Gin the USA, I'm definately looking forward to this.

:up:

[Gilpesh]

Can't wait for this flick... I want it to be out already!

And who else thinks Cohen needs to come up with some more characters to make people uncomfortable with?

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Bruno was pretty funny, he's pretty well known to Americans now though.

[Dr Lee]

The ONLY thing i have enjoyed watching that had Cohen in was Madagaster (SP?).

Can't stand the actor and nothing could get me to see this movie.

[Warhammer]

Haha, Madagaster...:o

[Timstuff]

"To play Borat, Cohen spent six weeks growing body hair"

Pfft, amateur. I've been doing that since my first growth spurt. Try doing that before you ask for a medal, Borat! :p

[chamber-music]

Cohen has already got Ben Affleck apperantly. He was complaining about some weird austrian Tv guy hassling him.

Also Cohen got the Govener. Not everyone knows who he is when he is iin character.

I was looking forward to Bruno before but now that Arnie may be in it.

Wow.

[odiin]

Wow. He looks like a complete homo in these pictures :up:. Nice re-design, and wise, too. That's probably why people don't seem to notice who he is.

Bruno Gets an Epic Summer Blockbuster Release Date

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/12398/bruno440.jpg

Posted on Tuesday, June 17th, 2008 at 4:54 pm by: Peter Sciretta

bruno release date

Universal has finally set a date for Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up to Borat. Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt will hit theaters on May 15th 2009, a date which has become synonymous with the beginning of the Summer movie season. That week has been the home of the Shrek trilogy, all three Star Wars prequels, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Da Vinci Code. Point is, Universal must have a lot of faith in the movie to put it in this very important calendar spot. In 2009, Bruno is set to go head to head with Ron Howard’s adaptation of Angels & Demons.

Not much has been released reguarding the new film, but we know that Bruno has interviewed Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ben Affleck, and was caught stripping down to tight shorts in the lobby of Wichita Kansas Airport.

[Prison Mike]

I can't wait for this movie.

[Drizzle]

Bruno set to go head-to-head with "Angels and Demons", eh? My money's on "Bruno", as a hell of a lot more people enjoyed "Borat" than "The Da Vinci Code".

[Omega Wizard]

My favorite of Da Ali G charactors.

Cant wait

: )

[Mr. Credible]

i'll pass... one of my favorites from the tv show was borat, and i strongly disliked that movie, and bruno was my least favorite character, so.... yeah, i did the math.

[xwolverine2]

not a big borat fan at all(didnt like it)... but this one looks interesting

[Spider-Vader]

Bruno set to go head-to-head with "Angels and Demons", eh? My money's on "Bruno", as a hell of a lot more people enjoyed "Borat" than "The Da Vinci Code".

Ditto. Even if it's R rated it'll do good, they just have to market it saying stuff like "From the actor/creator of Borat" or something. I'm really looking forward to this up there with Terminator 4, Wolverine & Transformers 2.

COMIC Sacha Baron Cohen tricked an Israeli spy and a Palestinian academic in an outrageous new prank.

Cohen, 36, referred to militant Arab group Hamas as “hummus”.
And he said the Middle East conflict wasn’t nearly as bad as Hollywood superstars Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston fighting over Brad Pitt.

Cohen – famous for hilarious characters Ali G and Borat – was disguised as Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion presenter.

He told Yossi Alpher – a former top spy with Israeli secret service Mossad – and Palestinian academic Ghassam Khalib they were filming a youth documentary.

Cohen – dressed in black leather and studs – barked out daft questions in a loud Austrian accent.

The comedian ridiculed militant group Hamas, saying: “What’s the connection between a political movement and food. Why hummus?” One of the guests politely explained: “Hamas is a Palestinian Islamist political movement. Hummus is a food.”

But Cohen went on: “Ya, but why hummus? Yesterday I threw away my pitta bread because it was dripping hummus. And it’s too high in carbohydrates.”


The character also asked: “Why don’t you settle the conflict with a time share on the land?”

Other questions were “When will you Jews return the pyramids?” and “Why can’t Jews and Hindus get along?”

He also commented: “Your conflict is not so bad. Jennifer-Angelina is worse.”

The victims only twigged when Cohen made them hold hands for a crazy song about the war.

Alpher said: “We knew something ludicrous was happening but couldn’t quite figure it out.”

The sketch – filmed in Jerusalem’s Old City – will appear in Cohen’s new movie, due out next May.

How people don't guess who he is yet is crazy.

[jsilve03]

lmao, wow. i cant wait to see this.

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah - everything so far suggests that the movies gonna top Borat in terms of cringeworthy moments.

[Asteroid-Man]

Well I better prepare myself for all his little fanboys that run around imitating everything he says and does. :down

[Brian Braddock]

Erm, ok.............

Gay Kiss Causes Crowd Riot At Suspected Baron Cohen ‘Bruno’ Prank
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Crowds in Arkansas came for the lure of cage fighting and $1 beer, but police say what they got instead was men ripping each others’ clothes off and kissing _ a stunt suspected of being orchestrated by Sacha Baron Cohen of “Borat” fame.

“We had a contract for cage fighting. We were deceived,” said Dwight Duncan, president and CEO of Four States Fair Grounds in Texarkana, where the first of two Arkansas fights raised suspicions last month.

Matt Labov, a Los Angeles-based publicist for Baron Cohen, said he had no comment Monday about the faked fights. One of Baron Cohen’s movies is due out next year.
The day after the June 5 Texarkana bout, Fort Smith’s convention center hosted “Blue Collar Brawlin.’” Fort Smith police Sgt. Adam Holland said organizers told him a character named “Straight Dave” would goad a planted audience member into the ring for a fight.

The two men would then wrestle, rip away some of their clothes and share a brief kiss reminiscent of one between Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell in the film “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.”

Producers said “there would be a romantic embrace,” Holland said. “They said it was kind of to essentially make fun, poke fun at wrestling _ two guys rolling around on the floor, all sweaty.”

An elaborate array of mounted and handheld video cameras caught the crowd of 1,600’s reaction as the two men “went right up to the line” of the city’s morality laws, Holland said. The two men stripped down to their underwear, kissed and rubbed on each other, the sergeant said.

The audience, as well as local fighters drawn to take part in the show, became enraged. “It set the crowd off lobbing beers,” Holland said. “They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually.”

Holland said it took officers about 45 minutes to clear the convention center, as the two actors sprinted away through a specially set-aside tunnel

This sounds hilarious

[Prison Mike]

that's hilarious. I can't wait for this movie. I'm sure there'll be lawsuits like there were for Borat.

[GhostPoet]

Wow...that made me just about want to gouge my eyes out.

Bruno Crashes NBC’s Medium

Shooting of NBC’s Medium was temporarily shut down on Nov. 7 when Bruno aka Sacha Baron Cohen kept interrupting a tense courtroom scene involving series star Patricia Arquette.

“No one had a clue it was Sacha playing Bruno,” a Medium insider told Ausiello. “It’s amazing he was able to infiltrate the set and pull this off.”

“It remains unclear whether Cohen (or one of his accomplices) snuck a video camera onto the Medium set to capture all of the tomfoolery, or whether he’s relying on the show’s producer, Paramount, to voluntarily hand over the unused footage. (The scene ended up being re-shot.),” Ausiello reported.

The day before the election, Bruno crashed a Los Angeles rally in support of Proposition 8, the measure to ban gay marriage approved by Californians this month.

[Zacky]

Must … resist … urge … to … wax … hyperbolically. … Failure … appears … imminent. A jaw-on-the-floor wow. Sacha Baron Cohen has done it again, delivering another WMD slam dunk of hysterically subversive mocku-comedy.

Universal Pictures screened 22 minutes of “Brüno” during the SXSW Fantastic Fest. In the movie, Cohen assumes the character of the flamboyantly gay Austrian TV reporter from his famed “Da Ali G Show,” and from what we could tell from those glorious and deliciously wrong-yet-oh-so-right clips, Cohen has pushed the button to push all buttons. The stakes are higher, and Cohen seems to be flirting with a more dangerous powder keg of humor, the likes of which we’ve never seen before.

“Brüno” somehow makes “Borat” look like child’s play, upping the ante on Cohen’s aggressively offensive, squirm-worthy hilarity. With a recorded introduction by Cohen himself, the transgressive, outrageous and, at times, stunning footage was broken up into three sections: baby interviews, a fake Jerry Springer-like Texas-based talk show and the Ultimate Fighting Championship face-off (more on these in a sec). In describing each scene, the comedian revealed much of the film’s plot. He also noted that all the gut-busting scenes were being shown in a longer form than they would be in the final theatrical version (i.e. with more painfully prolonged exposure to uncomfortably uproarious funniness than doctors would normally recommend).

From what we can recall — our minds being blown and all — Cohen’s Brüno character is fired from his job for blowing an Italian fashion-show segment. Distraught, he goes to Hollywood in the hopes of becoming the “most famous Austrian star since Adolf Hitler.” As already rumored, in an attempt to fit in with Tinseltown celebrities, Brüno and his boyfriend/assistant David adopt a baby from Africa, which Brüno carries around to appear chic and trendy (a move that seems intended to dis the Madonnas of the world). At some point in the film, Brüno and David split up and he loses custody of the child. Depressed, he tries to reinvent himself as the most aggressively heterosexual man in America to regain custody.

1. The baby interviews: Brüno wants to create an elaborate photo shoot for his newly adopted baby and auditions mothers interested in having their babies appear in the shoot. Interviewing a host of parents, he asks if the babies would be comfortable working with animals ranging from bees to Komodo dragons to snakes. So desperate are the parents to have their children cast, they agree to all of his ludicrous suggestions. Would the babies be OK with being “thrown from a building”? Would they be at ease around “amateur science”? Would the child be comfortable speeding around in an automobile without a car seat? Could they just “wing it”? The mothers consistently reply that each task would be fine. Brüno even suggests to one mother that her 30-pound baby should lose 10 pounds within seven days, and she replies that this is doable. She even suggests that she would consider lipsocution if the baby should fail to lose the weight. Brüno then congratulates the winning mother and tells her that the baby will be dressed up as a Nazi pushing a Jewish baby into an oven. And you thought Borat pushed buttons? “Brüno” obliterates the button with wicked aplomb.

2. The Texas-based talk show “Today With Richard Bay”: Brüno appears on a Jerry Springer-like talk show to flaunt his new baby to a mostly African-American audience. He baits the females in the audience, telling them he can get any black man he wants and can easily steal their men. The comedy and anger seem to rise in tandem. After taunting the audience with voguing, posing and boasts of homosexual prowess, Brüno eventually brings on his baby, O.J. (as in Simpson), dressed in little cut-leather chaps and a black T-shirt that has “Gayby” written on it. The audience is aghast when he claims that the baby is a “real dick magnet” and was traded in Africa for an iPod, but a special, pimped-out version — “not just any old iPod,” he assures them. The coup de grace is a clearly Photoshopped (thank heavens) photo session of gay hot-tub antics with the baby in tow. The segment ends with the State Child’s Service Department coming in and taking the “illegally” adopted child into protective custody. The Austrian has to fight off security in a hysterical rage.

3. The Ultimate Fighting Championship face-off: At this point in the film, Cohen’s once ostentatiously homosexual reporter has turned militaristically heterosexual and has created a UFC-like show called “Dave’s MAX Out,” giving us our first peek at Straight Dave, the newly invented Brüno. Mustachioed, hirsute and decked out in camouflage gear and an outback hat, Straight Dave parades around the ring to AC/DC’s “Back in Black,” while male spectators cheer him on. This is the gay-loathing party to end all gay-loathing parties. Of course, Straight Dave’s uüber-machismo does a 180 right into homoerotic overtones, but this goes over every audience member’s head as SD rips female stagehands’ clothing to reveal skimpy bikinis.

Then the footage takes a spectacular turn for the worse (better). Think of the scene in “Borat” in which Cohen sings the National Anthem at a Virginia rodeo to an audience that is with him initially and calling for his blood by the end. Brüno is suddenly called out during his show as a “f—-t,” and an appalled Straight Dave challenges the person who yelled that to step into the ring and fight him. We’re not really meant to know who his challenger is, but clearly, it’s his ex-boyfriend. They violently fight, pummeling each other bloody, but eventually the former couple, as you can probably guess, patches things up, passionately making out and groping each other to the sounds of Elton John’s “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” It is a sensational moment in cinema not to be forgotten soon. Of course, the outraged audience freaks out, and one glorious slow-motion shot captures an overzealous red-faced fan crying.

The footage ended with Cohen addressing the audience one last time, asking if we liked what we’d seen. If so, “buy a f—ing ticket.” The film’s take-no-prisoners approach was breathlessly funny, but no doubt some will ask: Has Sacha Baron Cohen gone too far? “Brüno” hits theaters July 10.

[citizenpain]

sometimes i wish indahouse didn't come out first so we could get an ali g flick now with a bigger budget. indahouse was still hilarious tho. i love bruno and borat, but ali g was the best character. respek!

[Spider-Vader]

I hope Cohen could do a re-design of Ali like he did with Bruno, so people don't know who he is & he can go a good reality Ali G movie.

Indahouse sucked big time.

[redhawk23]

does anyone have a link to some footage of that "fight" in arkansas

[Spider-Vader]

Not that I know. You'll have to wait until it comes out.

[ABleedingCorpse]

I'm looking forward to this film. I've been reading about all the choas he's been starting over the world with his character and it all sounds hilarious.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno Gets an NC-17 Rating!
March 29, 2009
Source: The Wrap
by Alex Billington


Somehow, by some miracle, Sacha Baron Cohen and Fox were able to get the MPAA to allow a 3-minute naked fight scene between two brutally ugly men slide by as R rated in Borat in 2006. But apparently they MPAA is not being so lenient this time. The Wrap is reporting that Bruno, or more accurately titled Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male, has been slapped with an NC-17 rating by the MPAA on its first pass. Obviously they're going to edit some of the overly sexual scenes so that it can get an R rating by the time it hits theaters in July. But so far this is some good news!

Apparently there are "numerous sexual scenes that the ratings board considers over the line." One of them involves Bruno appearing to have "anal sex with a man on camera." In the other, Bruno "goes on a hunting trip and sneaks naked into the tent of one of the fellow hunters," who, as we know, is one of Sacha Baron Cohen's unsuspecting victims caught on camera. So why is this good news? Because as ludicrous and awesome as Borat was, it sounds like Bruno is going to kick things up another notch, especially in the sexual department. Did anyone really think that Cohen would be able to top that 3-minute naked fight scene?

Apparently Borat got an NC-17 rating on its first pass, too, so this isn't exactly too shocking to hear. And considering Cohen has a little over 3 more months to finish editing this and get an R rating, it's likely we'll hear that it finally got the MPAA stamp of approval sooner than later. With this news, and all that I heard about the crazy footage shown at SXSW, it's easy to say that I truly am excited for Bruno this summer!

[Dark Donnie]

Not that surprising I guess

[Chewy]

Just an FYI, the red band has been released.

[Prison Mike]

the trailer was hilarious!

[CELTICPRED]

Wow, I haven't laughed that hard a trailer in a long time.

When he took off on the scooter and almost miffed the car, it killed me. I made the mistake of not seeing Borat in theaters, it won't happen again.

I can't wait to see this . Sasha is a nutjob.

[The Apatow Crew]

I like raunchy stupid stuff, but it just didn't do a thing for me. Just like Borat didn't. But i'm sure its gonna make alot of money also.

[Gamma Ray]

This looks incredibly stupid. I liked Bruno on Ali G, but this looks fake.

[JTStarkiller]

Bruno was always my favorite of the three characters. I miss the old Bruno haircut from the series, but this still looks great.

It looks hillarious but I hope I don't have the same problem with it that I did with Borat, being once I had seen it, I didn't need to see it again.

[WorthyStevens]

As do I. Is it enough to stop me from seeing this opening day though?

[black_dust]

That made me laugh so much.

It looks hillarious but I hope I don't have the same problem with it that I did with Borat, being once I had seen it, I didn't need to see it again.

Of course it will be the same, its the same type of movie just with a different character, its like the Jackass films, i have no desire to see them again as i have seen all the "stunts" they were shocking the first time now they are just lame

[RachelDawes]

The little "gayby" is the cutest thing ever. :heart:

[daywalker2007]

apparently, this movie is going to shock people even worse than Borat.

I didn't think anything could top the naked bedroom fight in Borat, but it looks he is going to top it with this movie!

he is a nutter!!

But yeah, I guess he had no choice but to go with that new hairdo to sort of hide his face a bit more.

In the old shows, he used to have a mohawk, and used to trawl the fashion shows.

I don't know how he has managed to get enough material for a movie, especially since a lot more people know who he is now since Borat.

The make out session during a wrestling match is sure to cause controversy!
lol!

[Spider-Vader]

This movie looks like it can be better than Borat. I can't wait.

Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedy god.

[Brian Braddock]

I'm especially looking forward to the part where Bruno, at a point in the movie where he's apparently trying to go straight and in doing so prove his manliness, signs up for a 'UFC' style fight. He calls himself something like 'Bruno: the gay basher' or something and his opponent is actually a gay figher. Of course, what the crowd dont know is that the fighter is actually Bruno's ex-partner.

What starts off as an MMA fight quickly turns into a live gay sex show in front of a crowd of very, very angry spectators; this is the one that almost imfamously sparked a riot.

Should be an abolute hoot.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

This looks hilarious, funnier than Borat which I have a hard time believing is possible, great stuff!

[ABleedingCorpse]

I just watched the MySpace Trailer for Bruno and I am in stitches....that was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. Personaly, it looks better than Borat. I can't wait to hear on the news about Christians having a field day with this film.

[DOG LIPS]

:funny:

Can't wait for this, the trailer was f'in hilarious.

[Halcohol]

Damn straight, this movie is going to rock my summer. I waited like 6 months after Borat came out to see it, and I won't make that same mistake with Bruno. Can't wait!

[DOG LIPS]

Damn straight, this movie is going to rock my summer. I waited like 6 months after Borat came out to see it, and I won't make that same mistake with Bruno. Can't wait!

I was lucky enough to see Borat in the theater thanks to a pushy friend. Holy crap did I not regret it. :grin:

[PWN3R]

This looks way insanely funny, especially the african OJ bit, I lost it.
Definitely seeing this in theaters. :up:

[Brian Braddock]

I was lucky enough to see Borat in the theater thanks to a pushy friend. Holy crap did I not regret it. :grin:

Me too; the laughter almost became communal and made the whole experience that much more funny.

I'm expecting even more this time around.

Guess it's a good job you dont have to go and see it then, isnt it?

Same as you dont have to post on a thread created in anticipation of something you dislike so much.

[The Apatow Crew]

Saw the Trailer with Revenge of the Fallen. Why, just why?My thoughts exactly. i'm just glad I didn't have to sit through this trailer again.

I honestly do not see whats funny about this.

[Prison Mike]

I think it looks great. I'll see it on dvd.

[Eric Brooks]

I have never seen Ali G or Borat

but for some reason, this looks good

[Dark Victory]

Saw the Trailer with Revenge of the Fallen. Why, just why?


Because Borat was slapstick gold.

[Gilpesh]

"I gave my baby a real African name.... OJ."

Sounds like it is going to be fun.

[Schlosser85]

I honestly do not see whats funny about this.


I don't see what's so funny about Cohen in general.

Outrageous isn't automatically funny.

[Milu]

I liked Borat, so this should be pretty good :) .

[The Guard]

The trailer doesn't make this look that funny. But then again, neither did Borat's. And it was hilarious.

[The Apatow Crew]

I don't see what's so funny about Cohen in general.

Outrageous isn't automatically funny.I didn't think anyone of his is funny. I think the only thing of his I liked was in Ricky Bobby and that was still annoying.

[Prison Mike]

Bruno was crazy tonight on Conan.

[Rishi]

Yeah he was hilarious. Best guest so far (maybe after Norm MacDonald...)

the movie looks so so but I bet it'll be great

[Nathan]

"I gave my baby a real African name.... OJ."

Sounds like it is going to be fun.

The only part in the Trailer that made me laugh. Especially the woman's reaction.

[Wesley Dodds]

You guys heard? The Latoya Jackson interview scene is being cut from the movie out of respect for Michael.

I think it's a good idea. And there's always DVD deleted scenes...

[Eric Brooks]

what does this scene involve?

[Solidus]

I kinda doubt this. Michael died yesterday.....and they have already canned and shipped off the film. Kinda doubt they changed something a week before the release.

[Dark Donnie]

It happened apparently

Layota Jackson Scene Cut (http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2009/06/26/scene-with-latoya-jackson-gets-cut-from-bruno/)

[Prison Mike]

probably a good idea. I hope they put it with deleted scenes though

[Brian Braddock]

Solidus is right; it does seem a bit too late to be actually able to undertake a re-cut.

[lukey37]

Did anyone notice on Conan how much his Bruno voice was slipping? It just sounded more and more like his normal voice.

I've seen clips and recent interviews as Bruno and the Bruno voice is much stronger.

[Brian Braddock]

I didn't think anyone of his is funny. I think the only thing of his I liked was in Ricky Bobby and that was still annoying.

Saw something here in the U.K. at the weekend which made me laugh and immediately think of you and your posts on this thread; it was a biography of Sasha Baron Cohen's career.

You know the kind - they get various celebs and people in the industry to offer their praise and gush about how much they love them etc........

Who should be one of the people lavishing praise on Cohen's comedy and his characters?

Just a certain someone who happens to go by the name of Judd Apatow.

:hehe:

[Eric Brooks]

The only part in the Trailer that made me laugh. Especially the woman's reaction.

hmmm, the only part of the trailer that didn't make me laugh

joke just seemed too predictable/cliche, like you saw it coming 1000 miles away

[Booznian]

I'm totally seeing this at midnight, even if I work from 6 am the next day!

[Nivek]

I honestly do not see whats funny about this.

Same here, man. It looks like the same "comedy" as Borat, except they have a Gay Model character instead of an Eastern European Jew hater.

Cohen always seems like an Andy Kaufman type, but I just don't find that type of ambush comedy funny.

[Watson]

Did they mention how freaking smart Cohen is? Though I guess it shouldn't be too shocking. All British comedians seem to come through school like Cambridge and Oxford.

[Sawyer]

The line about Osama still makes me lmao out of control.

[Spider-Vader]

Cohen is one of the best actors ever. Most people would start cracking up when they're doing this, not Cohen. I can't wait to see this, too bad I can't see it this weekend. My dad's taking me & he hates going to movies when they first come out due to crowds.

[dogwonder78]

I really want to see this movie! I didn't see Borat (I know! I know!), but just from this one's trailer I know this looks hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing and I am sure it will be nothing less of off the wall!

[daywalker2007]

This movie is dirty!
I caught an advance screening,
oh my God!
Sacha Baron Cohen is a man with balls!!!
Seriously!
The guy is a nutter!

[Adrian89]

Can't wait to see this, I know it will be great, Sacha always delivers!:D

[DOG LIPS]

I saw the midnight of this last night. I'm still at a loss for words.

[Eggyman]

I saw the midnight of this last night. I'm still at a loss for words.


In a good way?

[DOG LIPS]

In a good way?

Um... I dunno. :csad:

[DOG LIPS]

The movie was definitely a shock to the system. It was a sold out showing, and the audience spent about 60% of the movie screaming in shock/laughter. :funny:

Just think of the most shocking parts of Borat and pump them full of genital steroids.

I have no idea if the movie was good or not, but I laughed, I cried, and I cringed. All at the same time, and many many times.

[Eggyman]

Hmm. lol. Thanks doggy.

[terry78]

Ebert loved it.

www.suntimes.com/ebert

[Maximum Carnage]

HOLY ****! This movie left me in ****ing TEARS throughout the whole movie! Half of the tears belonging to the laughs, and the other half towards the crazy stuff. So. Damned. Funny. Go see this movie!!!!! :applaud

"Your king Osama looks like a dirty wizard. Or a homeless santa."

Just one of the many quotes/schticks that made me bust the **** out laughing.. :lmao:

[Nirvana]

I laughed so hard during this movie that I was literally sweating. ****ing hilarious, easily the funniest movie of the year. :lmao:

Now, I can't wait till all the stupid high schoolers run around quoting this left and right. :up:

[Colossal Spoons]

Just saw it, wow. Not recommended for everybody lol

[Colossal Spoons]

Now, I can't wait till all the stupid high schoolers run around quoting this left and right. :up:

Were there any memorable lines though? "It's my favorite" maybe :p

[CELTICPRED]

These last few posts have been extremely comforting.

:up:

Can't wait to see it tonight.

[Prison Mike]

my dad said he wanted to see this movie and asked if I wanted to come with him. I was like hell no. there's just some movies that you don't see with your parents...

[Colossal Spoons]

^Good idea, you'd have been very uncomfortable. Unless you have some super crazy relationship w/ your dad lol

[Prison Mike]

^Good idea, you'd have been very uncomfortable. Unless you have some super crazy relationship w/ your dad lol

no, just a normal one. he and my mom saw Borat thinking it wouldn't be that bad but they were grossed out yet loved the movie at the same time. I surprised when they told me they saw it.

[-Arya-]

Im dying to watch this. Hopefully it'll be tonight.

[Booznian]

Didn't get to see it last night, but I am most definently going tonight!

[bullets]

my dad said he wanted to see this movie and asked if I wanted to come with him. I was like hell no. there's just some movies that you don't see with your parents...


I don't watch these type of things with the folks either. I'd hope they saw it and had a laugh though.


Im definately seeing this tonight.

[spidey-dude]

^Good idea, you'd have been very uncomfortable. Unless you have some super crazy relationship w/ your dad lol
wouldnt be that bad - I saw austin powers 2 with my dad when I was like 12 and we arnt even that close and I didnt find it awkward at all - hell now ill watch any movie with my parents only awkward thing is long sex scenes

[TheFuture]

Awful. Absolutely awful, and that's from a Cohen fan. This film is all about grossing the audience out, and Cohen is much much better than that. The most frustrating thing is that in the actual scenes where Sacha attempted to be genuinely funny instead of trying to gross you out, the movie was actually good.

It was really bad, everybody else in the cinema were laughing their asses off. Me on the other hand...........I must have looked like I was trying to break the world record for facepalm.

[Fanticon]

better or about the same as borat on a hilarity scale?

Can you in spoilers or via PM give me an idea of what is so shocking in this film? I found Borat to be pretty funny but didn't care for the guy on guy scene, that was the only thing that was nasty. Not cool having to stare at some fat dudes ass crack and ballsack.

[TheFuture]

Borat is head and shoulders above it.

I love these types of movies. Just going for shock value. I'll definitely see this when it's out on dvd.

Haha, seriously

[Sawyer]

Yeah, I havent even seen it yet, and I'm still preparing myself for a boatload of d***s.

[Colossal Spoons]

And 1 pair of boobs

[TheFuture]

Ha ha ha, stay the hell away from this movie. :o

Amen.

Another thing that grates me is that Bruno was actually an awesome character. I remember when I first saw the character on Sacha's skit show and he was hilarious. But it was the same deal as Borat, with Sacha just taking the piss with halarious interviews and situational comedy. Maybe that's what scared Sacha, he felt he had to differentiate between Borat and Bruno so he went turbo on the gross rather than the intelligence with Bruno.

aw man you serious!? I still might givwe it a watch got back into ali g while at uni this year (bing very bored) and rediscovered how brilliant it is

I only saw borat this year as always thought his character was a bit repitious in the tv show - but damn I was looking forward to bruno was a big fan of his character on the show

shame they did a full story for the ali g movie, that woulda been great in mockumentary

[Figs]

Ha ha ha, stay the hell away from this movie. :o

It didn't offend me or anything like that in regards to that scene in Borat. It was just the situation that they were in I found to be a bit of a "Wow! They actually went that far for a laugh!"

This perfectly sums the film up. When he interviews the parents was the only part I really laughed hard at. Everything else seemed to go too far in the gross out/shock appeal direction.

[Jolly Rolly]

It was funny, I enjoyed it though not enough shocking moments as Borat but still funny and of course it's not exactly a sequel of sorts since it's an entirely different character.

The funny bits were:

The whole focus group scene with Bruno's penis on display and Harrison Ford telling Bruno to 'eff' off.

Bruno's little chinese boyfriend and the both of them pleasing each other with the penis pump and the mechanical dildo.

it was also rather a short movie, I was expecting maybe 100 minutes length run.

I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

[Jolly Rolly]

Were there any memorable lines though? "It's my favorite" maybe :p
I don't see many people quoting Bruno.

Bruno as a character isn't likable and he is aware unlike Borat who is played more naive in strange surroundings.

Maybe it's me I don't know but Borat will be more remembered as one of Sasha Baron Cohen's characters.

SEXY TIME! VERY NICE! THIS SUIT IS BLACK NOT!

[The Guard]

I am told there are like five minutes of full on dong in this movie. Is this accurate?

[bullets]

I'd be prepared for alot of sex stuff. I find it ironic they can show full on nudity but the penetration gets censored.

[bullets]

There are alot of hilarious moments but some things don't transition well. Also because more is scripted , you think something really crazy is about to happen but it winds down.
Most people just tell him to eff off or go away. It's not as big on social commentary it's more about shock value.
It was funny but I think i've seen enough of the Bruno character.

[Sawyer]

lol some dumbass on my local news station demanded her money back. Sh was like, "I didnt expect it to be that gross."

My first thought: "Idiot."

[LegendaryCaleb]

man...i liked bruno from da ali g show....but this was....just not as good......quite disappointed :(
3.5/10 for making me laugh a couple times...

[-Arya-]

There were moments where I was dying of laughter however there were also parts where its way too over the top.

I was also surprised how "revealing" it was. How it got away with an R' rating I do not know.

anyway 8/10

[Drizzle]

While I didn't like it as much as "Borat", I thought it was hilarious. It might have been a little bit too outlandish at times (and this is coming from a guy who laughed at 2 Girls 1 Cup). The screaming penis from his show demo tape will haunt my dreams forever. :csad: Sacha Baron Cohen outdid himself in that department. "Bruno" made "Borat" look like a Disney movie.

[CELTICPRED]

Just got back from the movie. Borat was certainly the better movie as far as exploring prejudices, but I found Bruno far funnier; as said, pretty much for the shock factor.

Be prepared for lots of weiner in the movie, but it's all hilarious. Certainly something you watch with a crowd, but still not the funniest movie of the summer.

I couldn't stop laughing at the zipper latex suit sex scene with Bruno and his bf.

[Frodo]

The film was so wrong.Lol. The focus group was the best bit along with the Amazon swinger.

I agree that at times it was too scripted. Not as funny as Borat , but funny never the less.

"Perfect line!":csad:

Yeah I was busting guts in this. That said, I don't think I liked it as much as Borat. Borat was really under the level smartsy type of stuff. At times anyway, this was just dick dick dick. More dick. Black dildo dick.

The dickhole talking was pretty lawly though, heh. Favorite scene hands down is the martial arts mullet master and his dildo defence lesson. Oh my god.:oldrazz:

[JaD]

Just got back from seeing this, my stomach was hurting at a few scenes from laughing so hard. I don't think it's better than Borat, but as funny to say the least. Great stuff and "wow" at what you can put in an R rated movie these days :funny:

I saw my first "Red Band" trailer in theaters tonight too :hehe: That is too weird

[Colossal Spoons]

As bad as the talking penis was, his "visit" to the psychic almost killed me.....no, really :(

I can remember at least two couples/families who left after the focus group, not a movie for everyone I suppose :funny:

I saw one couple leave after the scene with his Boyfriend. Not even 10 minutes into it.

A group of about 5 people left half way into it and never came back.

My mouth was on the floor when she tried explaining how important global warming was.

I can't wait for a .gif of the rampaging guy at Straight Dan's event. He was the one that looked like he was going to cry at the end.

Also that chair came pretty damn close to striking Lutz on his head, pretty amazing how often they endangered themselves in this movie.

I can only be curious as to how much of the movie was staged.

The stage mothers segment comes to mind.

[DarbyD53]

I live in Alabama and about an hour from Cullman County where the hunters where supposed to be from. People ate that up.

The weird part is the only time our crowd was shocked/silent would've been when Bruno was asking that one mom about what her kid could/would do for the park. The losing weight talk actually got gasps lol...

enjoyed it a lot. the wife enjoyed it too


EDIT: Also this was crazy. Guess how many times I had to show my ID? 3 times.

We get to the window he asks for my ID I show him he gives me my tickets then warns me of how bad this movie is. Why not warn me before I buy the ticket? So then we stand in line and it says Bruno now seating, so I hand the lady my ticket she doesnt tear it but ask for ID, I show her and she says "walk down to theater 8 and see him" *points to a cop* I walk down he is standing next to the door to go in. He asks to see my ticket and my id..i hand him both, he tears my ticket and looks at id and from what I was told he was stationed there the entire movie to keep kids from coming in.

I had to show my ID three times as well, I've never had to do that before. It's not a big deal, just kind of surprising. After watching the movie though, I could understand why they would go through such lengths.

[CELTICPRED]

I never had to show my ID and saw a bunch of kids who looked under 17 with no adult around.

hmmm

[Octoberist]

maybe they were midgets

[DOG LIPS]

I only had to show my ID once before going into the theater. There were 2 workers and a security guy, and they were like; "Show your ticket to the guy on the left, and your ID to the guy on the right."

[Go Web Go!]

Plenty of walk-outs during the movie tonight. As for the movie itself, eh...kinda disappointing. I expected a lot more than SBC than exposing some toothless Southerners as homophobes. It was just a lot of recycled material that, when compared to Borat, isn't all that funny. It did have its moments, but the bad outweighed the good, I say. 5/10 for me.

[DOG LIPS]

5/10 for me.

Hmmm. This thread could use a poll.

[Dark Victory]

Damn, looks like I might have a hard time getting into the theater. Hopefully mine isn't as uptight.

[CELTICPRED]

I had to round up. So I gave it a 9. That's a loose 9 though.

[Go Web Go!]

By the way, I noticed a lot of scenes from the commercials & trailers were cut. The one that stics out is Bruno & Lutz chained together at a mall and Bruno telling a store employee that he's gay. I know this kinda thing happens in films, but these were 2 scenes that were in pretty heavy rotation prior to its release.

[JaD]

A group of about 5 people left half way into it and never came back.That's what kind of amazes me, I mean if they went into Brüno knowing what Borat (2006) was all about, then I don't know why they'd walk out on his more particularly vulgar alter ego Bruno, like c'mon :funny: Did you think he was gonna hold back at all? :hehe: Or were you really not "offended" by anything in Borat to begin with? O_o :hehe: By the way, I noticed a lot of scenes from the commercials & trailers were cut.

[Matt]

This movie was nuts. I loved every second of it though. So with Ali G, Borat, and Bruno retired (well, the latter soon to be retired) what comes next for Cohen?

[Dr. Evil]

This movie was nuts. I loved every second of it though. So with Ali G, Borat, and Bruno retired (well, the latter soon to be retired) what comes next for Cohen?

There had been rumors that he would star with Will Ferrell in a Sherlock Holmes comedy produced by Judd Apatow, but Ferrell mentioned during "Land of the Lost" promotion that the film was on hold indefinitely.

[Adrian89]

Haha it was great! Sacha Baron Cohen 4 President!:D

[Poeman]

the movie was intense

[The Joker]

I enjoyed it. I didn't bust a gut laughing for most of it, but I got quite a few laughs from it nonetheless. It was enjoyable, but nothing special.

My favourite sequence was the hunting trip.

6/10.

[The Dark Defender]

I was weary of seeing it based on what I've been hearing, but I gave it a shot because I generally think Cohen is funny (never saw Ali G but I liked him in Talladega Nights, Sweeney Todd, and Borat), and I liked it.

I liked it for the exact opposite reasons that I'm sure many did though. I find it quite amusing that some actually think this film makes a strong statement about prejudice and homophobia; as though it's really out of line to resent the behavior of someone that publically shoves their sexuality in your face to the point of dropping their pants in front of you and rubbing their crotch up against someone that's obviously not interested.

and saying things like "that baby looks retarded, either give it up or abort it," and having a bunch of typical whiney liberals talk about what an important issue global warming is when they clearly don't have a freaking clue what they're talking about...

Most of the responses to Bruno's sexuality and overall demeaner, sans the most extreme examples where he has to go to the most blatantly hateful parts of the country to find, are just natural reactions to obviously crude, inappropriate behavior.
I'd have found this film more offensive if I were gay person, or an extreme liberal, since that's who's made to look foolish here.

Not sure if it's quite as funny as Borat or not, it comes closer than I expected though.

[CelticPredator]

But....i'm pretty sure the one's who hated Bruno werent liberal...but more hardcore republican.....

[The Dark Defender]

And his obviously crude behavior warrents resentment...and as I said, other than the most extreme examples, most didn't hate him, they simply found his conduct extremely inappropriate, which it obviously was.

I know exactly what Cohen and company were trying to do, and I think they did the exact opposite.

[CelticPredator]

No, I think he did exacly what he set out to do. The straight dave scene is a perfect example.

[The Dark Defender]

Yeah, that scene is a perfect EXTREME example; that's why I said that the film only succeeds at what it intends in the most EXTREME cases. Most that didn't approve of the behavior didn't come across negatively at all...and the liberal side, which is what tends to agree with what the film is promoting, looks foolish on various occassions.

[spidey-dude]

eh it was alright nothing great at all though - da ali g was much much better

[Maximum Carnage]

The straight Dave scene.. mocking UFC fights, in which straight guys huddle around two sweaty fighters, that roll all over eachother. They got what they wanted .. ? >D!!!

I find that pretty damned funny.

[Bond]

This movie was brilliant. It showed how stupid people can be, and how afraid rednecks are of their own sexuality. The karate, camp, party, and mind-reader scene were hysterical. I'm not sure if I liked this more than Borat, this was much more shocking and enlightening. 8/10

[Colossal Spoons]

The straight Dave scene.. mocking UFC fights, in which straight guys huddle around two sweaty fighters, that roll all over eachother. They got what they wanted .. ? >D!!!

I find that pretty damned funny.

That 1 dude almost cried haha

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

That 1 dude almost cried haha

Seeing that dude's reaction was funny as hell.:hehe:

[Jolly Rolly]

Looks like Bruno might not have staying power as Borat.

Bruno finishes the weekend with $30.4M (http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.org/39bruno39-sashays-boxoffice-fame-with-304m-ap)

[Bruce Malone]

The funny thing about the straight dave cage match scene was that if they had actually engaged in gay sex moves the audience there would have probably been oblivious and just assumed they were regular cage fighting lmao

it's not going to be his most popular character , lol . especially when word gets out about all the penis.

[bullets]

This movie was nuts. I loved every second of it though. So with Ali G, Borat, and Bruno retired (well, the latter soon to be retired) what comes next for Cohen?



I think he should wait awhile before he does another character. it would be interesting to see what he comes up with. Some people say he would lose steam if he tries to do something liek this again but i think he has another one in him.

[AndThePickles]

Very funny movie. I preferred Borat, though.

[Gamma Ray]

Bruno has a boring trailer. I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I read, I know it's not going to be anywhere near as enjoyable as Borat.

[CelticPredator]

Its not. Plus, Bruno isnt as likeible as Borat. IMO anyway.

Borat was just ignorant, where Bruno is just an idiot. But still...good stuff.


"So, abort, yes or no?"

LOLOLOLSkates.

[TheFuture]

But....i'm pretty sure the one's who hated Bruno werent liberal...but more hardcore republican.....

lol............it's not about what political alignment one is in judging this movie, not for people outside of the US anyway. It's about wanting clever and subtle comedy (which Sacha has been excellent at before this movie), which this movie was for the most part devoid of.

I'm sorry, but I just don't find a big flopping penis on screen for more than 10 seconds funny.

He couldn't even make the hicks and Ron Paul look like idiots without resorting to tactics that to be honest anyone would be freaked out by. The hicks surprisingly showed some restraint until Sacha had to resort to getting naked and approach them with condoms in darkest night. Again, I find it hard to believe that anyone wouldn't be freaked out by that. That goes for republican and democrat.

[Watson]

This movie had some pretty funny parts to be sure, but the plot (what little there was) felt a bit recycled from Borat. Towards the end I thought the social satire got better, but in the first half of the film it was all about shocking people. I would have prefered more of what we got in the last half of the film. 6/10.

[Matt]

I was weary of seeing it based on what I've been hearing, but I gave it a shot because I generally think Cohen is funny (never saw Ali G but I liked him in Talladega Nights, Sweeney Todd, and Borat), and I liked it.

I liked it for the exact opposite reasons that I'm sure many did though. I find it quite amusing that some actually think this film makes a strong statement about prejudice and homophobia; as though it's really out of line to resent the behavior of someone that publically shoves their sexuality in your face to the point of dropping their pants in front of you and rubbing their crotch up against someone that's obviously not interested.

and saying things like "that baby looks retarded, either give it up or abort it," and having a bunch of typical whiney liberals talk about what an important issue global warming is when they clearly don't have a freaking clue what they're talking about...

Most of the responses to Bruno's sexuality and overall demeaner, sans the most extreme examples where he has to go to the most blatantly hateful parts of the country to find, are just natural reactions to obviously crude, inappropriate behavior.
I'd have found this film more offensive if I were gay person, or an extreme liberal, since that's who's made to look foolish here.

Not sure if it's quite as funny as Borat or not, it comes closer than I expected though.

But....i'm pretty sure the one's who hated Bruno werent liberal...but more hardcore republican.....

I think you're both right, to an extent. Bruno was far more abrassive than Borat. I think even the most liberal straight person in the world would become upset if someone like Bruno walked up to them and started rubbing against them or taking off their pants and trying to have sex with them. I mean, hell, even those hunters were fairly tolerant (albeit, uncomfortable) until Bruno tried to enter their tent naked. On the other hand, there was also a lot of prejuidice that Bruno displayed without trying too hard. Still, in the end, I think the difference between Bruno and Borat is that Borat threw fuel into fires that were already lit where as Bruno created entirely new fires.

[chaseter]

It makes me mad that the trailer had a lot of stuff that wasn't in the movie. Overall it was funny but not great. Borat was great but this was the same thing but less memorable. But, if you want a laugh then you will get it:up:

7/10

[Wolfwood]

I was just looking at the first page...so did they film a scene with Ben Affleck or was that all just rumor?

[chaseter]

IDK, a lot of the trailer bits weren't in the movie.

[Fresh Prince]

Was the movie good?

[spidey-dude]

sums up my feelings almost perfectly, it used to be funny before when he was showing americans prejudice against gay people, however like you said the behaviour in this would have freaked anyone out, sasha should have watched some of the louis theroux in us series and gone to some of those places (the destruction derby place wherever that was would have worked well) but this movie was so in your face - still got 3 ali g series to go back to

[Christmas]

when the pee hole says 'bruno', and then the camera zooms in, that was pretty crazy.

[spidey-dude]

meh it was attempted shock humour - which neither shocked me or made me laugh

the beauty of sasha show was always bringing out peoples racist/homophobic feelings

[AndThePickles]

That part made me laugh so hard that I cried.

I was cracking up when I saw that. Even after everyone stopped laughing, I was still laughing a bit. :hehe:

The 'Straight Dave' scene was hilarious too.

yeah, Bruno was a lot sillier and less cohesive compared to Borat. IMO Cohen has a better handle on how to perform as Borat. but there's funny bits all throughout the movie. i'd definitely watch it again on dvd.

btw- when he was interviewing Ayman Abu Aita, oh man... that guy looked like a stone cold murderer, and Cohen is just vamping it up. I was pretty stunned, that's one scary dude and just to waste his time and make him fun of him so hard is mind boggling.

the self defense trainer was pretty great too. it highlighted a certain ignorance imo. gay people aren't like vampires, you don't get gay. tho I'm relieved I now know how to stop a man with 2 dildos.

[Maximum Carnage]

This movie was great. You gotta see it to believe it, Scarcrow! :P

I'm actually seeing it again this weekend. :D

[Maximum Carnage]

My step-dad was telling me that Bruno was on the Howard Stern show either yesterday or this morning (7/13/09). From what he told me, it was a wildly funny interview.

One of the jokes that I heard from him was pretty funny. Bruno had everyone believe that, during wild sex, he himself scratched Seal's (the singer) face. Bruno also asked, "What's the difference between Seal and a seal at the zoo?" .. "Seal can hold TWO balls in his mouth at the same time."

xD!!!

If someone could get more information from this interview, or perhaps a recording.. that'd be amazing. I'm not sure if we can, though?

[Maximum Carnage]

How many interviews has there been, anyway? Today show, the Letterman appearance, Conan and The Tonight Show.. what else?

[Go Web Go!]

Tons more. I'm sure the guy has to be relieved that the film has finally been released after all the press he's been doing.

[DemonicFoil]

Just seen it, and all i got too say is LMAO! sooooo funny but definitely a 8 out of 10 because the comedy died down at some parts and took a while for it to start back up again.

[Brian Braddock]

Saw the movie last night - shockingly funny.

Similiar in approach to Borat but the style of humour has been shifted; there are honestly things in that film that I could not beleive I was seeing - the audience were in histerics at times.

[Jolly Rolly]

it's not going to be his most popular character , lol . especially when word gets out about all the penis.
I wonder in a couple of years when Bruno gets shown on network TV how the censors will edit that whole scene.

I guess by then a man's penis will be acceptable for TV. :wow:

A big part of it is on youtube , it's hilarious. He makes a funny comment about keeping black people in a box when he sees robin in the booth.

[Crook]

Anyone have any "reports" of homophobic friends/family's reactions on this film? I know one left within the first 20 minutes, and the other was pretty much pissed after the movie was over.

It's pretty enjoyable seeing the same demographic this movie was criticizing, being the most offended. :funny:

I heard one part where he said "Hitler wasnt gay, he was a *****." And I lol'd pretty hard.

[Sawyer]

Oh God, an even better part of the Howard Stern interview...

Howard: Arent you in danger of getting cancer from the ass bleaching cream? Arent you nervous about something like that?"
Bruno: .... Ish dont know, ish dont care. I've got a clean shtinker.

:lmao:

[Gamma Ray]

I can't believe how unfunny this movie was. It was just awful.

[bullets]

Drill Sergeant 1: Oh my gosh! You gotta be out of your mind.
Drill Sergeant 2: What kind of belt is that, candidate?
Bruno: D&G.
Drill Sergeant: What is D&G?
Bruno: Dolce & Gabbana, hello
Both Drill Sergeants: Hello?!

[Wolfwood]

I kind of wonder if that part was staged because the back and forth between them was too good. :D

[Dugath]

I really thought this movie was just garbage. I do not know how anyone could find it even the slightest entertaining (everyone is entitled to their opinion though).

Saw this in the drive in, thank god because we got to watch another movie as well (Public enemies) I feel sorry for anyone who paid 12 bucks to see Bruno. So many cars left during Bruno. Even my GF who made me go to the drive in so she could see Bruno thought it was garbage.

I suppose if one finds flopping penis's, pretend blow jobs and such funny then this is the movie for you.

I personally just sat there the entire time and every time he did something that I knew he was doing in order to be "funny".. it just was not.

But that is just my opinion. (sure glad I did not pay for this.. sad that my GF is out 20 bucks... glad we saw Public Enemies)
