Shostie: MaxxLarge: As ever, I continue to be completely stymied by Ben Kinglsey's career choices. How can the same dude who won an Oscar for "Gandhi" (and who SHOULD'VE won one for "House of Sand and Fog") turn up in stuff like "Thunderbirds," "BloodRayne," and THIS?

Don't forget Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

"Sexy Beast". That is all.

Woody Allen did it 40 years ago in "Bananas"

maybe he just enjoys what he does, and occasionally take roles for fun...
not like any of those movies hurt his career.

Yet another SBC Film...that just completely fails to raise even a smile.

I'm not a hard man, or a bitter man...but seriously, ever since he invented Ali G, for the 11 o Clock show, on Channel 4, I find the man about as funny as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I love lavatorial humour, I love satire, i love pretty much every form of comedy going...but I just sat thru that trailer cold and emotionless...it didn't even make me smile.

Will someone please stop this man ever appearing on tv or film again.

Even my SBC loving friends who considered Borat a cinematic masterpiece thought Brüno was a bit pile of steaming gross out donkey poo.

Dude - that was a different planet then. Sex was fun and relatively safe - anything you caught would succumb to penicillin. Drugs were cheap. Gas was cheap.

A truly underrated movie

I like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it......

/his best movie

Bruno was by far my favourite SBC character, and while the movie was not great, there were some memorable moments. Getting Paula Abdul to sit on mexicans as chairs was very very funny.

So you are completly humorous? That or you just don't like Sacha Baron Cohen. Not his humor, the guy. I personaly don't like his humor but I can at least admit the bit with Megan Fox made me chuckle a little. At least be honest with yourself.

/and us, I guess.

Why do people get so upset when they don't find something funny that others do?

People really get offended by others' beliefs but now folks are increasingly angered over mild opinions. I blame _______ and his/it's lying _________ .

Trailer made it feel like an Adam Sandler movie

I thought this was going to be based on Saddam Hussein's novel? It might end up having some common story elements, but I wish they had done a straightforward adaptation. You can't get much funnier than the fact that a murderous dictator had ghostwritten crappy propaganda romance novels

As I was watching that, I thought of how 50-70 years ago, we used to make fun of groups like blacks and Asians (especially Japanese) in ways that are now considered to be racist and offensive. That now has me wondering in 50-70 years, will the ways we now make fun of Arabs and Muslims be considered racist and offensive? Just a thought.

I was hoping this was the Freddie Mercury biopic, but hey, more SBC is always good.

I mean, he's invariably the best thing about anything he's in, but come on. Name me one other actor who's taken direction from Steven Spielberg, Richard Attenborough AND Uwe Boll.

He might have done it to make a point. I bet there were plenty of actors offered roles in this film who turned them down because they were afraid of been seen as mocking Islam.

ah satire, how i love thee

Interesting that it appears to be entirely scripted. I was expecting another improvised, Borat/Bruno semireality movie.

How about Gregory Walcott, who has taken direction from both Steven Spielberg and Ed Wood?

If anyone didn't find Borat incredibly funny, and good portions of Bruno as well, I weep for you.

Since 50-70 years from now white people will be a minority in America, will today's blue collar comedy be seen as minstrel shows?

70 percent of America identify as "white". try again, monkey boy.

I liked the Megan Fox bit ... lol! Rubies?!
And
I also lol at the Track and Field bit.

Correct this fellow is. The 2010 Census shows the racial makeup of the US to be:

72.4% White
16.3% Hispanic/Latino (of any race)
12.6% Black/African American
6.2% Other
4.8% Asian
2.9% Two or more races
0.9% American Indian and Alaska Native
0.2% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander


This racial alarmist crap is....well, crap.

We was saying that in 50-70 years whites WOULD BE in the minority. But good job negating a postulation with census data from today. Can you post the census from 2080, please?

in 50-70 years, the demographic data will remain pretty consistent. or do you you think that white people are going to stop reproducing and let the minorities catch up?

That runner was going to win, but then he took an arrow bullet in the knee.

No but white people will have babies with non-white people and those babies will magically be 100% non-white so white people will eventually disappear even if they get replaced by a bunch of white-looking non-whites which are mostly but not 100% white and that makes them non-white.

Am I the only one who thought SBC was doing an impression of this guy?

no.

yes, interracial relationships are more common, but you simply are not going to erase a 70 percent majority.
