Borat

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Last night I watched "Borat", now available from Netflix and all the
other usual outlets.

Since there has been an ocean of words about the movie, I am not sure
that I have that much to add but will try.

To start with, my wife and I are huge fans of Sasha Baron Cohen, the
British comedian who plays Borat, Ali G and Bruno on a half-hour HBO
show that is only available in reruns nowadays. Cohen seems to have
abandoned television for movies. His next project will be based on
his Bruno character, a gay Austrian television reporter who covers
the fashion beat. Like his other avatars, this character has a knack
for getting people to put their feet in their mouth. In a typical
segment, he'll get a fashion designer to render his opinion on what
religion is "in" that year or not.
