Film Bruno Is Coming

Posted by on Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 3:22 PM

Bruno: Good for the gays? Bad for the gays? Discuss. But... I am soooooo excited about this movie. And, um, I think Sacha Baron Cohen is sexy—but only when he's Bruno. Sick, huh?

Via Sullivan.

That was thrilling. I cannot wait for Bruno to rub their noses in it.

Loved it! Sacha Cohen is hilarious, no wonder people can't recognize him.

The man is a master of disguise, impressionist extraordinaire.

I can't wait to see it!!!!

Looks to me like a ringer for best picture of the year!

Can't watch at work, but looking forwards to it when I get home.

(I find Sacha Baron Cohen unbelievably attractive when he's out of any of his characters.)

There was not one single second in this that was even remotely entertaining for anyone over 12.

Or maybe I just don't like SB-C.

@6 - start caching it now, and it might be loaded by the time you get home.

Not sick. Just strange. Because S.B.C. is so clearly sexy all of the time.

SBC makes people laugh. And laughing is never a bad thing. So...I say good for the gays.

Does anyone remember on Da Ali G Show when Bruno interviewed the evangelical preacher, and asked him, "Is it a sin to be...FABULOUS?"

It's 2009. If people still think characters like Bruno represent all gay people, that's their problem.

my favorite character of SBC.....so great. Did anyone see the episode of Da Ali G show where Bruno goes to spring break in florida and gets these wrestler guys to complete jackasses and has them show their asses, then tells them its for gay tv? haha balls...yes!

I love me some SBC, but he's playing a gay character who acts like an asshole to "real" people until they get pissed. The whole thing is supposed to show how homophobic "real" people are, but really it just shows how people react to an asshole. Really this is just another version of Jackass, except Jackass is probably better for gays in the long run than Bruno.

Fucking perfect. When I first saw the ads for Borat, I thought the movie was going to be a piece of shit that just made fun of foreigners. Instead it made fun of deuschbag Americans who think very little of foreigners.

I'd love to see his gay equivalent. Let's laugh at some 'phobes.

...and he's a cute lemur.

What is a bite on the butt amongst friends? [shakes his tail at Maurice] Here, give me a nibble.

I think this shows how polite Americans can be just like Borat. The people just keep going on with what he is doing like it is normal till he passes some kind of boundary.

The Velcro suit was what got me.

I can't help myself. Bruno makes me laugh my ass off.

I thought I was a healthy and well-adjusted gay guy. Do I need to reassess??

I also think Sacha Baron Cohen is sexy - but he's sexiest when he's just being himself, something he doesn't do too often in public.
