MOVIE: Bruno

EarthQuake

Greatest gay film of all time?
or
Gayest great film of all time?

HonkyPunch

Both in one gigantic bulging package.

Jeremy-S

Both, for sure. Although the ending left me a little limp. Wait..... What?

Junkie_XL

There was a time when the procreational appendage couldn't be shown in a rated R film. Apparently that strict rule has been relaxed.

"BRUNO!"

EarthQuake

Apparently it was at first rated as nc-17, but after some quick editing they came up with the version shown in theatres. Dear lord i do not want to know what was in the NC-17 version.

Mechadus

....You mean there was stuff they DIDNT show? Yikes.

-N!

It will probably be revealed in the "UNRATED" Dvd/Blu Ray version. Hi Def testicles.

there were wankers in both borat and the hangover afaik

Joshua Stubbles

I'm not seeing it. For me, Borat had like one or two kinda funny moments. The rest was either stupid, insulting or just flat out not entertaining.

maybe you are allowed to show thingies if they aren't real. the rotating schlong was shown as it was but when cohen ran around naked they blurred his. so maybe the rotating one was mechanic and that's why they were allowed to show it.

had some funny moments!

haha ... what?

i'm with vassago on this one. There was one HUGE wanker in borat. It also shows a chronic lack of imagination that he's just recycling these old bit-part characters from Da Ali G Show, which was bloody years ago now, and was shit then too. Come up with something new fercrissakes

I agree.

Daaark

Bruce Willis shows his in Pulp Fiction.
There's a ton in EuroTrip on the beach.

Then there is Three's Company~!

When it comes to schlong, in movies as in reality, it's all about context

My friend told me about this movie. I said, that I didn't want to see it because Borat was too gay for me (the fat guy rolling around naked etc.)
He's said: "yeah, then you definitely don't want to see this movie".
He said there are a couple of funny parts but it's basically gay porn.
Thanks, but No thanks!

Tom Green was doing this sort of juvenile sidewalk humor way before Cohen. Cohen's bits are more extreme though. It has it's moments.

Quokimbo

I have not seen it yet, but I plan on it...Not for the penis. :poly142:

Didn't particularly like Borat either, then again it wasn't my fave character either - no.1 was Ali G, no.2 was Bruno. Preferred the tv series to the movies big time, still watch them today infact, really funny shit, Cohen is a comic genius :poly142:

Saw a few clips from this latest movie and have to say it looks more promising than it's predecessors, lets face it this guy is nuts and he seems to pull it off flawlessly, can't wait to see it!

I know you want to sound though here, but damn that's pretty sad actually...

BradMyers82

Huh? lol. Not sure what you mean Kwakkie. I'm assuming you meant "tough".

The movie is not for me that's all. I'm sure there are others out there that would agree.

Gav

Those people would be called homophobes

I saw it and didn't really like it. To compare the two, I definitely liked Borat more. To match the level of shock value Borat had (handing over a bag of shit, running naked into an elevator, belittling women to complete strangers, etc.), he really had to go further with Bruno. I think in Borat he could get away with just saying awkward things but in Bruno it's as if he tried to bring in more physical comedy but wouldn't fully commit to the character (like in the last big scene with Lutz) What would be considered "shocking" in this one just seemed really gimmicky to me.

TheMadArtist

Not really my kind of humor, so I think I'll avoid it in theaters, or maybe just check it out on dvd sometime in the future.

bounchfx

just saw it. wow.

it was somewhat entertaining. definitely enjoyed borat more (the character and the bits), but wow.

Frump

The hair style bugs me. This Bruno almost seems like a completely different character from the Bruno that was in Da Ali G Show, based on looks alone. In the Ali G and Borat movies neither character changed appearance at all. Haven't seen the movie yet, but I probably will soon, Funkyzeit mit Bruno was always my favorite segment on the tv show.

flaagan

How about "horrid PoS that was showing on one of those other screens at the drive in tonight"?

imb3nt

made me laugh a few times.

rolfness

Dolce and Gabbana Helloooo... hahaha

HausFly

I will forever have the sense of humor of a 14 year old, so I enjoyed it a ton. Love the scenes with Bruno and his Asian partner.

It's one of those movies that's best to to see in a packed theatre as it brings out some great reactions from the crowd. I feel the same way about the Jackass movies. Great in theatres, kind of boring on DVD. It's not the same without the collective cringing and gagging of an entire theatre.

Ruz

seems really funny, but it has that ughgh how embarrassing quality about it like borat, so I might not watch it for now

I didn't really want to catch this in the theatres, but was dragged out to see it last week.
I laughed more watching this than I did with Borat. I use the term "laughed" quite loosely, as I chuckled more than anything else.

The homo-erotic context didn't bother me at all, like it seems to bother a good bunch of people here. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so I won't argue about it.
If its your type of humour, then you'll enjoy it, otherwise go watch Harry Potter... *sigh*

FAT_CAP

I saw it on the weekend and totally agree that a lot of the best bits were shown on the trailers beforehand.

Saying that the film still had me laughing along and was great for an easy Sunday afternoon film to watch with the girlfriend.

The talking Urethra at the start was hilarious though!
