I find it hard to believe that some of the “victims” that post comments on here have managed to never develop a sense of humor about themselves. That must make being you twice as hard. You might be missing the point if you think the movie is a 2-hour gay joke. In fact, you would probably be a perfect candidate to star in one of these movies. If we take everything so seriously, we’ll never be taken seriously ourselves. There is a difference between malicious behavior and humor. If we can’t see the difference and laugh at ourselves, then the terrorists have already won.

I think Ali G, Borat and Bruno are all hilarious, in sketch format. They don’t seem to make good feature length movies though. Borat sort of grows on you, but “Ali G in Da House” *facepalm*

Don’t make the mistake that most people make and judge a movie by the previews. Make your decision after you see it. We mock many people for slamming movies like “Outrage” never to have seen it, or the latest Michael Moore, “documentary”. Bruno is a fun movie that is obviously over the top and it isn’t Bruno or his characters that is what is supposed to be funny, it is the people’s real reaction to them.

Unfortunately S.B. Cohen’s appeal is to adolescent straight homophobic boys. His last movie had two jokes that could be laughed at, the rest of the movie was laughable.

So let me get this “straight”. The movie BRUNO wastes 2 hours laughing at the expense of Gay people but Cohen was concerned about upsetting people with a bit about Michal Jackson’s sister? What a hypocrit. Sacha Baron Cohen, you are the joke!

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Sasha sheds like on issues through his ridiculous-ness. He makes complete mockeries of “normal” people and by that he is pushing an agenda.
MJ jokes are still hilarious and will always be. MJ was a human male, he can be laughed at. Most men deserve to be.

This would have actually been very funny, had Michael not died. Michael was alive at filming, so it would be in bad taste NOW after-the-fact.

Also, I could care less about Prop-8. My Prop-8 happened in 2004. But I didn’t realize that there was enough ignorant white trash in CA as in KY to remake laws.

There needs to be amendment to national constitution reaffirming separation of church/state.

I don’t know Sacha Baron Cohen personally, but I do know he’s pretty left-wing politically and even though he was raised an Orthodox Jew he’s not particularly religious.

It would be inconsistent with his style for him to support Proposition 8 personally. If he were to support it, it would be as one of his characters and in a totally mocking, satirical way. The example of Bruno going to a Proposition 8 rally is his comedy style.

Island Boy,

Thanks for correcting me on this one.
I just watched a video clip of SBC crashing a pro-prop H8 rally as Bruno.

At first I didn’t realize it was SB Cohen
because when he was starring in “Borat,” he had black hair and a big black moustache and here in the Bruno video clip he has long,light colored brown hair and was completely clean-shaven.
I just read that he was chased and had to be wisked away in a van. I don’t have working computer speakers at this time(and am looking into replacing those speakers at Target or Best Buy) so I had to rely solely on what I could see in the clip and read a little later. The beginning of the video clip was very blurry as the camera was being moved around much too fast until it was then held steadily.

So, I am corrected on this one.
