Re: Bruno

Im not sure what your getting at but I was more wanting to know if this movie went so over the top that it actually showed things that should have made it NC-17 or not, without thinking about it obviously since they couldnt show much without it getting said rating. I dont want to spend the money and walk in to find out it shows more then it should, somehow got away with it and still got the rating it did and now Im out the money watching something Im not interested in watching anymore. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you will be that offended by something in Bruno, you shouldn't risk going in the first place. SBC's work is not for someone that is worried about being offended in the theatre.

Jesus, forget I said anything. I said I ENJOYED Borat and somehow its being taken as if Im some damn religous zealot who is afraid to be offended at Bruno. I was simply asking, if there are two guys sitting in a hot tub performing sex acts, can the viewer see anything or is it all blocked out? I guess I have to spell it out since people arent apparently reading everything I post and are instead picking and choosing what they want to address.

Re: Bruno

This movie was freaking HILARIOUS. I've been a big fan of Cohen since his Ali G days, and I thought Borat was not very funny (show was so much funnier), but man Bruno was great. Borat was a little too frustrating for me, Bruno on the other hand is much wittier and just funnier all together.
I hardly enjoy comedies anymore because everything nowadays is just so lame and repetitive. There were some really gross things in the movie, but nothing that really offended me. As long as you realize that all the risque/controversial scenes were mostly edited(little O.J. almost getting in car accident or arriving in a box) then its really not too bad.

You will see every possible private part in this movie uncensored. Male and female. There are gay sex acts and straight sex acts, but those parts are blocked out by black bars. As for the hot-tub picture you see a man's *** and it's obvious what they are supposedly doing, but you don't actually see the act being performed.

Re: Bruno

America can't handle gays.

Such a shame that this country is so uptight.

From what I can tell, we're a lot more lenient than many other countries when it comes to gays (think of the Middle East). Can we make strides to be more understanding? Of course. But that's just as true for other countries too.

To give a quick synopsis

"A study released by the European Commission in 2006 found that a plurality of people in the European Union (49%) oppose gay marriage. Yet, as in the United States, the public remains divided on the issue, with 44% favoring same-sex marriage. Approval rates in individual European countries vary greatly. In socially progressive Holland, for instance, 82% of all adults favor allowing same-sex marriage; in heavily Roman Catholic Poland, only 17% of adults support gay marriage."

"A 2007 survey by the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project found that strong majorities of the people polled in the African, Asian and Middle Eastern countries surveyed do not view homosexuality as a socially acceptable way of life."

"As of Jan. 1, 2009, gay couples in Norway can legally marry, adopt children and undergo artificial insemination. The new legislation, which replaces a 1993 law permitting civil unions, makes Norway the sixth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage."

So based on this article, only SIX countries recognizes same-sex marriages.

Re: Bruno

I saw it and was a little disappointed. I'm not a homophobe at all. I just think some of these movies these days are trash. I personally think Cohen and his brand of comedy will get old quick. Just like Will Ferrell.

Re: Bruno

Horribly offensive. Still really funny though. I thought people were going to walk out, but suprisingly no one did. Just for reference for those of you wondering whether or not to go, the most shocking/offensive scene from Borat (naked scene in the hotel) pales in comparison to almost every part of this movie.

Re: Bruno

Going to see this at 7:25...can't wait.

Re: Bruno

Literally half of the people left the theatre when I went to see it.

Re: Bruno

All I can say is wow. About 10 people left the theatre. I have no idea how some of the stuff got past the screeners!

Re: Bruno

Just saw it....thought it was great but I really don't get offended by anything I see. Probably the worst was the Milli Vanillia psychic scene......surprised that made it in there.

Spam
Purposely spamming a message board with senseless, vacuous, or empty messages to increase your post count is highly frowned upon! This includes such things as party posts, chain letters and two-word "I agree" or "me too" responses. Continually posting the same topic on a particular board, and posting the same question across several boards is also considered spamming, and is a violation of this TOS.

Thank you for your contribution.

I thought the movie was pretty funny. It wasn't as good as Borat, but I'm not sure if that has more to do with Borat coming first than it actually being a better movie. There was some pretty hardcore content, specifically early on, but I actually was expecting worse given the publicity. If you don't want to see penis or men making out with each other then don't see it. Otherwise, there were some pretty hilarious moments and squirm-in-your-seat interviews. The movie is really short, but I was also ready for it to end as there wasn't any place left for the movie to go.

Re: Bruno

This was one of the funniest, most inappropriate, politically incorrect, and amazing movies I've ever seen.

I'd put this and Borat at about even.

Way to quote a portion of the TOS even though Adam wasnt spamming the boards anyways. Now if he went around posting that over and over then you would have a gripe, otherwise he just gave his opinion without feeling the need to explain it, nothing wrong with that.
