bruno gets overrated...

unfortunately this will prevent the film from having the major success it most likely deserves considering sacha baron cohen's genius, even though his other well loved and hated borat was probably the conduit for the most blatantly rough display of political incorrectness and scenes so hilarious yet so wrong on so many wonderfully taboo levels they almost made you embarrassed to laugh at them in public until you heard pounds and pounds of snickers behind and in front of you. but i must say it makes me want to see the farce that much more! so... the man who played madonna's chauffeur in her 'music' video is possibly one of the 'gays' in the profoundly immoral sex scene in this movie.
this will definitely attract attention to the comedy but not sure which kind of attention it will become in our recently reinstated puritanical reign and sheer indifference to the overall political and social climate of the world. (wow that was heady but sarcastic and farcical nonetheless...here's the article along with an amazing shot of sacha as 'bruno' haha.

(boris! i expect to see this with you when it hits the theatres...don't let chauncey down! haha)



MPAA Slaps Bruno With NC-17 for Gay Sex Scene

from http://queerty.com

When Borat first hit the desk of the Motion Picture Association of America, Sacha Baron Cohen was handed a NC-17 rating. He lobbied it down to a R, and still managed to include the gratuitous scene of him wrestling with the fat guy. Naked. Well, history repeats itself with Bruno, Cohen's gay fashionista follow-up. Blame a butt sex scene.

Its first time out, Bruno, about a gay Austrian "fashionpolizei" TV host, also snagged a NC-17 rating. Hilarious, but it's a death sentence for a film, restricting not just who can see it but which theatres will show it; most cinemas refuse to screen flicks with ratings above R. That, and distributor Universal will refuse to release it unless Cohen gets it down to a R.

So now Cohen & Co. have to cut enough footage to make the MPAA happy.

Likely on the chopping block? A scene where Bruno "appears to have anal sex with a man on camera." And the scene where "the actor goes on a hunting trip and sneaks naked into the tent of one of the fellow hunters, an unsuspecting non-actor."

Now, what are the over-unders on, if the anal sex scene were a depiction of a man and woman having sex, the MPAA wouldn't have got so upset?
