I was one of the first to see this trailer during The Omen. Ever since then, I have cried everyday because it's not Novemeber 3rd.
MOTY
I dunno, Ali G: In da House sucked balls.
The Ali G character isn't as funny as the Borat character.
There's no way this movie can't be good. Even if all the jokes in the trailer were the only ones actually in the movie.
What a highly logical analyzation.Quote:

This is true.
Is this a scripted movie like the Ali G thing, or is it reality-based Borat fucking with people like the show?
Nothing could possibly be worse than Ali G: In da House. Therefore, by default, the Borat movie will be better.
Also, they're doing a smart thing with the Borat movie- they're sticking with the format of the TV show. Cohen is a genius when it comes to improv, so he should stick with his strength (at least until he gets better script writers- whoever wrote In Da House should have their balls fried).
Anyway, while Borat has a running plotline, the vast majority of the movie is Borat doing his usual shtick- interacting with real, unsuspecting people who think he's from Kazakhstan and don't know they're actually just in a movie.
From what I've read, it's something like 80-90% reality based. What isn't is just for the puropses of forwarding the "plot," which involves Borat watching an episode of Baywatch and falling in love with Pam Anderson. Hearing his wife has died back in Kazakhstan, he begins a cross-country trek to make Pam his new bride, all the while filming his documentary on America. Pretty much no one in the movie, including Pam Anderson, is in on it.Quote:

Other than that, it does look pretty funny, mainly for the completely absurd shit from the trailer (the bear in the ice cream truck made me lol)

A little while back a news article ran about Pam having a wedding for her two dogs on a beach, a wedding Cohen as Borat crashed by riding in from the ocean on an inflatable turtle while playing a keyboard, singing love songs to Pam. Cohen/Borat was promptly thrown out. Obviously, this was filmed for the movie. Here's a pic.
That's really fucking funny.

Beerfest and now Borat - "Life Has Meaning" :D !
Its obvious that Borat would have a Field Day with America, so its gotta be Good!!
See? That's the type of response I was talking about.
I was thinking about making a Borat avatar since I saw the trailer at the beginning of Talladega nights last Friday. Your post just served as a reminder to me.Quote:

People think it's funny and they're gonna quote it trying to be funny which of course just makes them look like asses. But just because that happens doesn't mean it should not validate a movie or tv show for that matter. If the "spring break" crowd started quoting Arrested Development would that make the show less funnier because the frat boys now have it and it sold out.
What, now people can't be excited to see a movie? I'm going to start quoting Borat as much as possible just so I can ruin the movie for you.Quote:

I had this roommate two years ago who really liked Ali G and he found out that I did too. And because of that I got an endless stream of quotes and jokes from the show because the kid was an idiot. Because of it, I don't... really want to watch The Ali G Show anymore. Because I got sick of it, not because my idiot roommate liked it. I don't dislike things because they're popular, that's just playing on my supposed hipster persona, I'll see it and judge it for myself before I ridicule or praise it.
Honestly, I'm more concerned about Beer Fest than this movie. Because at least this movie looks to be enjoyable. Based on the trailer, Beer Fest just looks stupid and panders hard to the kids.
Plus, there are no Canadians in that movie. Everyone knows we're North America's beer swilling champs.Quote:

(quoted from Fox News): But there are also some sequences that will defy censors, including one extended bit in which Borat and Azamat, his producer/sidekick — a thick eyebrowed sort of Sancho Panza with breasts larger than Pamela Anderson’s — wrestle nude in their hotel room (Borat had caught him mastrubating to an issue of FHM with his beloved Pam Anderson in it and was angry).
The wildly explicit, freaky mayhem spills out in the hotel elevator and then down onto the stage of a conference of insurance underwriters.
The spectacle of Borat — a tall, lanky man, locked in hairy embrace with Azamat in front of several hundred straight-laced businessmen in blue blazers — may present to the MPAA its most confounding challenge ever about to rate a film for public consumption. The scenes are more disturbing than the end of "Hannibal."
In another scene Borat insists on driving to California, instead of flying, “in case the Jews repeat their attack of 9/11”. In another scene, Baron Cohen, who is himself Jewish, is shown spitting out food given to him by the Jewish owners of a bed-and-breakfast because he believes it may be poisoned. He tells Alan Keyes, a black presidential candidate, he has a “chocolate face”.
Sounds like his usual (awesome) Borat shtick to me.
Wow, something is popular and gets a movie. Who would have thought it was possible?Quote:

How can you not like Borat? He's a simple man who finds enjoyment in the smallest of things, whether it be a shaved pussy, disco dancing, or shooting dogs.
Why do they piss you off so much? Let them be, and enjoy the comedy anyway. Are you bitter about the Chappelle show or something?Quote:

WHY WON'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LET ME BE JUDGMENTAL?!
Because it's stupid and unecessary. I just think it's ridiculous when people have the "if it's popular then it's not good" mentality it just makes you look like an elitist prick. I agree it's annonying when people quote the same things over and over but I just chalk that up to them not being able to be funny on their own and I move along I don't cower in fear of every funny movie that comes out thinking that the "spring breakers" will enjoy it and since their dumb but I also enjoy said movie that must mean i'm at their level too OMG! Seriously just like what you like and pity those that rely on quotes for their sense of humor
But he stopped playing it, right? Problem solved.Quote:

I can comfortably admit that I've seen every episode of Sex and the City and even beat my GF at the trivia game. It'd be a bit harder to admit that if I was the one who purchased the trivia game.
Does Moe say "CAR HOLD" or "CAR HOLE" when he tells Homer he's a fancy frenchman for using the word garage in the episode where Marge becomes a cop?Quote:

I watched the preview before Talladega Nights, that was the best part of the movie.
I just saw watched Accepted (it was a pretty funny movie, but nothing amazing) and went in just as a new trailer for Borat was playing. Since I didnt catch all of it, I searched and found it online. Enjoy.
http://www.boyakasha.co.uk/media/trailer_full.mov
What I don't like about it is it looks a little staged, like the bull I think it was with the guy holding the America flag falling down after Borat finishes singing.
Actually, when he filmed that part the whole stunt made local headlines. They weren't in on it.Quote:

Maybe Cohen's not wrong about Kazakhstan after all.
Ok, since nothing has been posted yet, there will be a worldside screening of Borat on 9/20. Basically, it's a promotion through myspace. You have to add myspace.com/blackcarpet as your friend and they will post info reguarding the time and location of the screening. Since I don't have a myspace, I asked my gf to add it and I just logged on her myspace after reading the info has been posted from a Borat fan site.
What you have to do is add www.myspace.com/blackcarpet and www.myspace.com/borat to your top 8/16/24 and print out your page. That is your ticket. The only thing that sucks is it's first come first serve, so I'm sure it's going to be packed everywhere.
Borat himself will be at one of the screenings. I copied and pasted the list of locations and the times of the screening and organized it for my fellow TNLers:

I myself don't have a myspace account. I will most likely use my sister's account or just make one up quick. Finally, myspace serves some fucking purpose.
Also, Cohen will be at one of the screenings, they're not saying which, but it's been confirmed.

What exactly are they worried about? I can't imagine Kazakhstan has much of a tourism industry, especially not from the US.Quote:

Nevertheless, not everyone got into the showing. When the movie ended, there were still a lot of people in line, so I'm guessing they showed it again.
So far, as far as the movie is concerned..
BEST. MOVIE. EVER. The things Borat does is beyond imaginable. I can't believe the stuff the censors let in. Borat went all out and delivered a film that will not soon be forgotten. I don't think I've ever laugh as hard as I did during a movie. This is a MUST SEE.
The entire nude fight scene with Azamat (his friend) was ridiculous funny. I can't believe I witnessed what I did. Borat basically went behind him and went doggy style on him and then they got into the 69 position. They were both naked.
A fun little fact: Borat's friend, Azamat, would speak in Armenian as Borat would respond in some complete other language. I'm Armenian so the funny thing is I knew everything he was saying, and it wouldn't exaclt match up with the subtitles. My friend and I found that pretty interesting.
Crapballs and damnation, I forgot about the screening.
I wonder which screening Borat himself appeared at?
This is all I'm hearing from every review. I am so totally psyched for this movie now.Quote:

Don't use/read spoilers about this film. half the fun of this movie is wondering, "what the fuck is Borat gonna do next?"
I showed up 3 hours before the screening and still was a bit nervous about getting a seat. But I got in, and luckily the audience wasn't too annoying. My only complaints are that some of his jokes are recycled from his shows and you couldn't hear a lot of the dialogue over the laughter.
well the actual Ali G series was much better than the movie by far. also the Tenacios D series looks like it's going to just KILL the movie (still very undecided about that one).Quote:

I vote that no one posts any spoilers, tagged or not, until the movie officially opens. I want to go in not knowing what's going to happen.
The Ali G show is total genius, which makes the Ali G movie sucking all the more confusing/disappointing.Quote:

I would have been amazing if he got in. The comedy gold would have been off the wall.
I LOLed at this part...
Quote:
Shortly after Nazarbayev dedicated a statue in front of the Kazakh embassy, Borat denounced an official Kazakh publicity campaign running in U.S. magazines as "disgusting fabrications" orchestrated by neighboring Uzbekistan.
"If there is one more item of Uzbek propaganda claiming that we do not drink fermented horse urine, give death penalty for baking bagels, or export over 300 tonnes of human pubis per year, then we will be left with no alternative but to commence bombardment of their cities with our catapults," Borat said.
I saw this in the paper two weeks ago, and this thread reminded me of it.
Good read:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...5/wborat15.xml
[EDIT] Dolemite posted something similar, but this has a Borat comment that the other one didn't have
This article about German Gypsies threatening to block the Borat movie in Germany has a very funny closing parargraph.
Quote:
Knudsen's group has asked for an injunction to stop the film from being shown in Germany. "We called the distributors, but they laughed at us," he said.
I personally think Sascha Barton is an asshole. Fuck that guy for calling Kazakstan backwards.
