Borat

Post by Zspider »

I watched this movie last night. Subtle, complex, and sensitive. Highly recommended. Reminiscent of the best of Fellini and Bergman.

It was OK. Parts were really funny, some parts dry. I could have done without seeing a very large naked man's berries.
Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.

I thought it was hilarious, just like a really long episode of the Ali G show. The Frat boys where the best

Got interrupted, so I haven't seen the whole movie yet, but are you fucking kidding me? Comparing anyone to the genius of Fellini or Bergman is not to be done lightly.

/edited cause I am personally disgusted by zspider on so many levels I was a dick. Despite the intense level of hatred I have for him personally, it has nothing to do with this conversation.

I can't say I have ever seen Fellini or Bergman, but Sasha Cohen is great at catching stereotypical people, and forcing that personality type to deal with an unfamiliar situation. I thought the movie had a little too much scripted in-between scenes but the people interaction was hilarious.

Fellini and Bergman are genius directors the likes of which very few directors can compare. Borat may be a good film, but I'd hesitate to put any living directors at their level. These are the guys that defined intelligent film making, the Kafka's of their craft.

Yes, Charlie, Zspider is kidding you. "Subtle, complex and sensitive", now that's a howler.

As LK Day pointed out, yes. But thanks for giving me another laugh.

Weird, we are watching the Seventh Seal tonight. It's great that between UK and the Lexington Public Library almost the entire Criterion collection is available.
The theory of evolution is just as stupid as the theories of gravity and electromagnetism.
