Borat anyone?

[Catman]

I hear none of his stuff is scripted. He's basically going at it commando, and nobody knows what's going to happen really.

I also heard there was so much cut material....extras....that HBO might pick it up and make it into a series of some sort.

Go to youtube, man. Most of the deleted scenes are there.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

People are complaining about the stereotypical and over the top humor but that is part of the reason that makes Borat so funny because these days everyone is so damn politically correct. It is all just in good fun people.

 

[Dark Donnie]

The fight between Borat and Azamat is honestly one of the funniest things I have ever seen!!

I just checked it out and there are loads of great Borat clips

Borat Has "Very Nice!" Opening Day
Source: ShowBIZ Data November 4, 2006


According to ShowBIZ Data, Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan has grossed an estimated $8.9 million in its opening day.

That may not seem like a lot, but it's quite impressive considering 20th Century Fox's controversial decision to limit the opening to just 837 theatres, where it averaged over $10.5 thousand per site. It also surpassed the two new family comedies, Tim Allen's The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and DreamWorks' Flushed Away, to take the top spot on Friday, even though both of those movies were playing in well over 2,000 more theatres than "Borat."

Despite Fox's reasons for the reduced opening, the highly-praised comedy which has received almost unanimous critical acclaim (96% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes!) looks likely to surpass Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 as the highest opening movie in less than 1,000 theatres. Moore's controversial doc made $8.5 million its opening day in 868 theatres to win its weekend with $23.9 million, but realistically, "Borat" may be more frontloaded to opening day due to the high anticipation.

With $5.3 and $4.8 million respectively, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and Flushed Away are likely to make up the difference over the weekend where family films do most of their business, but Cohen's comedy should still win the weekend regardless. On top of that, "Borat" is scheduled to expand into over 2,200 theatres next weekend, giving it a strong chance at 2 weeks at the top.

Fox are ****ing idiots.

 

[Iceman]

I wonder what the figures would have been if they had kept the original number of theatres.

 

[Dan33977]

Meh, I saw it last night. While it was decent and there were some extremely funny moments, it wasn't nearly as funny as the trailer made it out to be...

 

[Mephistopheles]

One of the funniest movies in a long time. And I mean piss-your-pants funny.

 

[iceberg325]

I actually saw the movie in july. I saw a test screening for it and Ive been ranting and raving about since lol. I just saw it again today and still laughed my a$$ off. Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedic genius. I also read in the ny daily news that many people are talking that he should get oscar for this movie lol.

JAL, don't judge a book by its cover.

 

[Assassin]

JAL thinks Alba as sue storm should get an oscar

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

JAL is notorious for liking **** movies.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I never said that. Sorry if i don't think this guy is hilarious!

maybe i should walk around and say some of thie stuff he's doing.

I could go around singing throw the jew the the hole. And refer to woman as prostitudes and ****es? And condemn gay people.

 

[Fran]

You'd be killed in the process.

It is called satirical comedy. Are you ****ing kidding me you really don't get it? Check this link out there is even a little section about the misunderstanding of satire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire

I know its weird to say this in a movie like BORAT, but sascha did show some range. The part after the fight and the scenes that followed after, were acted awesomely. I know, I know its weird, but when he looked at the camera talking about his losses you can feel for him. Wait, there more. when he found out pam wasnt a virgin....that was well acted.

I wouldn't give him an oscar. But, he does have my respect and thats like and oscar

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

No doubt he is amazingly talented. He goes into those characters and really becomes them and he doesn't hold back. He came onto the Howard Stern show recently as Borat and was just hilarious and didn't skip a beat.

Have you ACTUALLY seen the movie? If not, then you don't know what you're talking about. If you think thats what the movie is about then you're wrong. In fact, Borat is allowing you to see a disturbing side of America. If you thing Borat says horrible things then you should hear some of the stuff the REAL people are saying. For instance Borat meets a teen who thinks America should have slaves. And, an old cowboy who hates gay people.

So, don't judge a book by it's cover.

This movie is in LOTR territory when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes acclaim

This looks to be one of the big surprise hits of the year, the amount of moviegoers with such a small number of theaters is amazing...
