Last week, we checked out Bruno, and I must admit, the movie blew away my expectations. It’s not just funny, it’s sh*t-your-pants-twice-hilarious. Sasha Baron Cohen really brought his shock comedy to a new level with his latest instant classic. Below we’ve listed “6 Things You Didn’t Know About The Bruno Movie“.
WARNING:This is a massive spoiler post, so if you want to go into the movie with a clean slate, I wouldn’t read any further. (more…)
From f**king with frat boys to giving Eminem a taste of his taint, Sacha Baron Cohen’s flamboyantly hilarious character, Bruno, whose new movie hits theaters July 10, is sure to be the talk of the summer. So to give you a little refresher course on this saucy Austrian, we’ve compiled the 13 most awesomely offensive Bruno moments we could find. Enjoy!
Before last night, I’d been wondering why the MTV Movie Awards still exist. I mean, does anybody really give a crap anymore? But that was before Sacha Baron Cohen “Bruno” dropped from the sky in angel wings (and no pants). When the wires got tangled, he fell ass-first into the crowd, landing on top of Eminem, giving him a taste of the ol’ undercarriage. Afterward, Eminem stormed off stage in a huff. There’s a lot of debate as to whether or not Eminem’s anger was real or just part of the act. But either way, TV doesn’t get much better than this.
Sure, the made-up swine flu pandemic may be the hottest item in 24-hour news these days. But if you ask us, killer viruses are still nothing compared to f**king pirates! With these 21st Century swashbucklers re-taking over the high seas, a whole new element has been added to life here on Earth. Here are 5 reasons having these lawless thieves around isn’t such a bad thing. (more…)
The kiddies won’t get to enjoy the new Sasha Baron Cohen movie if the MPAA has their way. A “docu-comedy”, “Bruno” has Cohen reprise his role as a gay, Austrian, fashionista from “Da Ali G Show”, on a journey throughout America that is sure to offend just about advocacy group you can think of.
Like his 2006 hit, Borat, “Bruno” will employ Cohen’s trademark style of tricking unsuspecting bystanders into saying outrageous things in outlandish situations. Some of those situations include going on a talk show and asking for a boyfriend to help him raise a black baby named O.J.,getting stage moms to permit their children to portray Nazis putting Jews into ovens, and of course over the top gay antics in the Bible Belt.
Cohen is currently appealing the NC-17 rating and, like Borat, will most likely edit the movie to get an R rating for it’s theatrical release in July with an unrated DVD to be released later in the year. As for lawsuits from unsuspecting bystanders…we don’t know yet, but you know they’ll be coming.
Looks like all you Sacha Baron Cohen fans out there finally have a day to mark on your calendar. The widely speculated upon follow-up to Borat, Cohen’s wildly successful 2007 film, ‘Bruno’ is set to hit the silver screen on May 15, 2009, reports Variety.com.
From the article:
Like Borat, the title character of the 2006 box office hit, Bruno is one of a trio of characters created and played by Cohen in TV skein “Da Ali G Show.”
As Bruno, Cohen pretends be a flamboyant fashion and celebrity journalist from Austria who interviews unwitting members of the public who believe Bruno is a real person.
We can’t wait to see who he embarrasses enough to get sued by this time!
When Borat shocked viewers with its unscripted, tasteless take on poor American values (exemplified by actual Americans) everybody knew that it would open the floodgates for improv-docs of lesser quality – quick cash-ins riding Sacha Baron Cohens’ success. Nobody expected a film to capture the same loose, improvisational vibe while (possibly) one-upping the top media personality in Kazakhstan.
Great World of Soundrevolves around the concept of Americans having talent…and doing everything in their power to ensure themselves a spot in the limelight. Martin (Pat Healy) and Clarence (Kene Holliday) are scouts in the seedy underbelly of the music industry, where half-baked talent is given a chance to strut their stuff for big-league fame.
It’s all a sham as expected; dozens of dolts with their heart set on stardom fall completely flat on-camera while people with raw talent fall prey to their own fooish naivety.
In this age of painful mediocrity over true-blue talent it’s great to see a movie set the record straight, all pun intended. The cottage industry of talentless superstars making millions must be stopped!
Not sold yet on this ingenious concept that will give a wake-up call to any starry-eyed bozo willing to shell over thousands of dollars to “make it big”? Check out the “Great World of Sound” website – its old-school Yahoo “Geocities” webpage reeks of greasy con-men out for a quick buck.
