Preserve the 80s

Last week I was on youtube and saw a banner ad for something called Bruno.

At the time, I remember looking at that and thinking it looked like a piece of shit, and it left my mind soon afterward. Unfortunately, it soon re-entered my consciousness as I was watching tv a few nights ago and saw a trailer for it. Though the title of the movie is Bruno, it may as well be called Borat 2 as it has the same premise as the first Borat movie – Sasha Cohen playing a Eurasian guy who doesn’t wear much clothing and pretending that he’s gay. This apparently is his calling card though, as even outside of movies he pretty much does the same act. This is supported further by his surprise landing, for lack of better phrasing, on Eminem. Since it turns out that was actually staged by Eminem himself, I guess there will be at least one person who will enjoy Bruno.

Nothing about Borat was funny. They took one annoying joke and stretched it out for two hours and it looks like Bruno is going to do the same thing. It boggles my mind that anyone went to the first movie and actually enjoyed it, though I suppose I can accept the fact that not everyone shares my opinion of what is amusing and what isn’t. What I can’t accept is that some asshole movie producer decided they’d rip America off by showing the exact same movie again and having the balls to charge people to see it.

The fact that even one college graduate is unemployed while Cohen becomes a multi millionaire by making these pathetic excuses for movies makes me feel like I’m going to vomit like a vomit fetishist’s significant other at a vomit fetish event. I guess my simile well is running dry tonight, but my dislike of Sasha Cohen and his work springs eternal.
