Title: Bruno....
Post by: Pett on July 12, 2009, 01:58:31 AM: Better & dirtier then Borat. Agreed?

Post by: Oklahoma_Cat on July 12, 2009, 08:55:12 AM: One of the best comedies ever (not kidding). Pushed the limits for sure. LOL'd hard from 2 minutes into it all the way through.

Borat was great, but had a few moments where it died down in the middle...Bruno never let up at all.

*Bonus Side Note* - had an old couple sitting next to me, probably 80 years old. Laughed their asses off until the part towards the end with the minister trying to "convert him"...then they got up and left. Kinda weird part to be offended, considering everything up to that point.

*Bonus Side Note, part 2* - Had a great laugh when they kept showing the guy with the OU shirt on during the end segment. Lots of OU fans in the audience groaned out loud (GOL?) at that.

Pretty interesting how they lured people.

And knowing that most of this is real footage makes it 10x better.

Keep in mind I'm a pretty stingy guy.

Actually you are probably right, still might wait for the dvd though.

Post by: SkinnyBenny on July 12, 2009, 02:12:50 PM: But part of the fun of a movie like Bruno is seeing it in public. It makes the shock comedy more shocking, and laughing out load with a theater full of people is more fun than chuckling to yourself at your computer when it finally downloads. Plus, you get to see old people walk out disgusted in the first 20 minutes.

Post by: Bhyaaaaa! on July 12, 2009, 03:23:34 PM: Movie sucked.

I loved the Ali G show - started watching it from the very first time it came on HBO. Got several of my friends to watch it to. Borat was really good, wasn't as good as some of the skits on the show, but still retained enough. Bruno did nothing. Once you've seen the first joke in the movie you have already seen about 75% of what's coming. Only a few times were the jokes actually somewhat thoughtful.

Dude sold himself short.
