OK, so who saw it?

My god I think I ruptured something laughing

The hotel fight scene was beyond words. I... just... wow

I think the part I found most disturbing is that I found the creepy Atlanta ghetto with the hookers appearing out of the darkness and guys playing dice in front of a tenement in the middle of the night several times less scary than that evangelical church

Excellently entertaining.

Also, there's going to be a Reno 911 movie.

I've heard the comparisons to Da Ali G Show, and I never really liked it. Is it like the show, or something completely different?

Borat is a character done by the same comic as Ali G. On the Ali G show, Borat has a segment where he goes and tries to learn about america. the movie is an extention of his segment on the show.

Wow! I didn't know that Ali G was the french guy from Ricky Bobbie.

Hasn't he been doing this character for years and now they want to sue.

I think they should be a limit of time you are allowed to sue after "stolen" what nots are public.

I know he has been doing Borat for what like 4 years now, but he makes a movie and all of a sudden "Hey thats me I want to sue"

The rest of the world is learning the gold ol American ways of the Lawyer.

One of the articles I read said they and members of their frat had gone on IMDB or somewhere in the forums and were gushing about how cool it was. . .which would pretty much tube their lawsuit of the posts can be found.

I'm in two minds about it. I've heard so many different sources rave on about how it's so funny i'll rupture something laughing. Not disputing it but that is what people said about Team America, which was about as funny as having haemorroids in a sitting down contest.

Also, I remember hearing a radio report some time ago that Kazakhstan (Yes, the entire country) had threatened to sue Sacha Baron Cohen if he made anymore Borat sketches.

I finally saw Borat saturday. Both the funniest, and most fucked-up movie I have seen in a long, long time. Possibly ever.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I saw it saturday as well. I laughed a whole hell of alot. It was worth seeing, but certainly not something I'm going to put on my DVD to buy list. Unless they have alot of the stuff they didn't show.

That made me laugh really hard. Seems like this guy's getting sued by everybody, which means it may be worth a watch after all.

I thought it was crap too. Filled with unimaginative toilet humour and much-overused political jabs. I had trouble understanding why so many people enjoyed it so much.

The movie isn't my particular taste in humor, but between the ratings and someone close to me wanting to see it, I let myself get talked into going. As I watched, only a few moments struck me as funny, and about as many moments I would have preferred to avoid. However, it is a great movie for talking about afterwards, because recalling some of the stupidity is actually funnier than seeing it happen.
