Anybody watch the new Borat yet? It’s available on Amazon Prime now. I’m majorly into everything Sacha Baron Cohen does, even the really dumb stuff. He recently played radical leftist Abbie Hoffman on the Chicago 7 movie, which I really liked.
Anyways, I enjoyed Borat 2, but I could see people thinking it’s stupid. The thing that impresses me most about SBC is how he is able to play people against themselves, like mental judo. He makes them reveal the worst aspects of themselves, and destroy themselves.
As usual, it’s not clear how much in this movie is staged/manipulated, and how much is true reactions. There are some good bits of footage though, and I laughed about 5 or 6 times which is a good rate for me on a comedy.

I’m pretty sure she means the prank Borat pulled on Giuliani for his movie awhile ago. I heard about it months ago so I was thinking it was older, but looking for links it looks like the bulk of stories are just now coming out. I’m pretty sure politics is frowned on here, but what do you think about Tony Bobulinski coming forward? That’s got to be pretty compelling and worries me! I haven’t heard there was evidence Ukraine paid, I thought it was Russia? Anyway, these next few weeks are going to be very interesting!

And I think the Hunter Biden laptop thing is about as stupid and pathetic as the Hilary Clinton e-mail thing. As are any of Giuliani attempt to explain this away because it looks really bad. Anyways, Borat! Magnificent moviefilm.

Anyways, Borat! Magnificent moviefilm. Huh, thats one way of looking at it I guess. I watched the press conference with his business partner and he has a lot of proof to suggest that it’s completely legitimate. Do you think Ukraine is paying him to come forward? I guess we will see what comes of his conversation with the FBI. I’ll have to respectfully disagree on the borat movie! No way for me, more like something for my kids.

Sacha Baron Cohen's style is much more suited to short clips. He is a master at providing people a platform to embarrass themselves. Threading a narrative in between those scenes of a bit challenging, though.
My favorite part was actually when he got the people attending the rally to sing along to his song about killing Obama and journalists. It's what's happening all across the world on a larger scale right now- get people to feel safe, they think they're untouchable, and they'll go out of their way to be nasty. That's why giving a platform to bigotry is so sinister.... It normalizes the kind of behavior that gets worse as it gets exposed to daylight. I can only imagine the field day SBC would have had with POTUS saying "Stand back and stand by" regarding white supremacists.
Regarding the Rudy clip, I didn't actually hear anything that would suggest he knew she was underage. Did I miss anything? I mean I kept hearing "oh Rudy fondling himself in front of a minor" but the actress is in her early 20's and I had a hard time believing she looked otherwise. It's absolutely inappropriate regardless, but I still feel like there's a big difference between "unethical sleezeball" and "unethical sleezeball pedophile."

I highly recommend everyone watch the Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix, especially if you have children. It's eye opening.

I just watched Borat subsequent moviefilm last night. I had to sign up for a free 30 day subscription to Amazon Prime to watch it. I didn't think it was quite as funny as the first one. Now he's famous so it's harder to film unsuspecting people. I'm sure filming during the pandemic was also a challenge. It was definitely an interesting look at what some of the rest of the country was doing while we were sheltering in place in San Francisco. I didn't really see anything scandalous in what Giuliani did in the hotel room, although I wasn't analyzing it. It seemed like she volunteered to take his microphone off which was hidden under his shirt. Then he had to tuck his shirt back into his pants. I could see some valid arguments that making the movie was irresponsible for various reasons, but for a lot of people it may be eye opening to see how different other people living in the same country are from themselves. Some of the scenes were pretty funny, and I think we could also all use a laugh or two. I mean, you could say that he was just tucking in his shirt. Or you could say that Obama was actually born in Africa, COVID is a hoax, and Rudy Guiliani is a pedophile. Really, we can say whatever we want. I’m going to go with Rudy is a pedophile vampire goblin man who knowingly masturbates in front of 15 year old girls on camera. I like that one. @myhhr I kind of liked the storyline of the movie though. The plot with the daughter was awesome, and weirdly sweet I thought. ***** SPOILER ***** Also, the running of the Americans at the end was hilarious, with Karen shooting Dr. Fauci with her AR-15 hahaha. You’re probably right that he’s better at the short bits, but I still like SBC’s stories too. The Dictator made me lose my shit haha. Brother Grimsby not bad either. Part of me kind of wishes he had gone after some crazy liberals in this movie also, because there is some serious comedy to be had there. But you’re right, given the times we live in right now that would have been far less productive.

The funniest part of the Proud boys being considered white supremacists is their Cuban born leader, Enrique Tarrio. someonerandom , I guess it’s possible that it really will mean nothing to the voters, but I know it’s definitely made some of my friends reconsider voting for Biden. I think this could be pretty damming if the texts are true that Joe was involved in illegal backdoor money channels to China, Iraq & Ukraine. But really what concerns me the most is potential pictures of minor girls and the texts about a specific underage girl & that claims Hunter walked around naked on video chat smoking crack in front of her making her feel uncomfortable. If any of these things are corroborated, especially the pedophilia, that is a deal breaker for many women I know who are hard core democrats.

Lol if that made them reconsider voting for Biden, they were never considering it in the first place. But you know that, shadow. It is a nice last-ditch effort to make it look like a tough choice between similarly corrupt candidates though! Way to grab that troll bait by the pussy! Bazinga! Back to someonerandom, I never did see The Dictator. I loved Bruno, but got so bored during the first Borat that I didn't even finish it. Most of my SBC appreciation has come from watching clips of his Showtime stuff on YouTube. Has anyone watched Barry? SBC makes me think of sketch comedy, which leads me to SNL, which leads me to Bill Hader. Comedy is usually not my jam, but Barry is just the right amount of absurd for me. There's also an actor in it who has alopecia, which totally triggers some dev stuff for me. I think I wrote about having a crush on guy at my neighborhood grocery who had alopecia. Anyway they never bring it up in Barry, which is really refreshing.

Well, now that I know that Hunter Biden is a pedophile I’m EXTRA glad I voted for him last week. myrrh yeah Who Is America was some of his finest work. I still laugh when I think about his Israeli Special Forces impression lol. And it’s amazing how willing some people were to defer to him, even if it meant getting on their knees and biting into his strap on. Hehe.
