As word hit a few days back that Sasha Baron Cohen's Bruno had been hit with an NC-17 rating a few questions raced through my mind. First, just how dirty was this thing? Second, would it have gotten the rating if the character were straight rather than gay? And third, how happy were the marketers now that they'd been delivered such perfect material for the film's ad campaign?
But Cohen himself? He's got other questions. Questions like, "How do you defend yourself from a man with a dildo?" and "If Madonna's got a black baby, why can't I have one, too?" and, of course, "How do you defend yourself from a man with two dildos?"
The trailer has arrived, it's below the break and it's sporting one of those ludicrous age-verification systems that verifies nothing beyond the fact that you can count to eighteen.
"I gave him a traditional African name. O.J. ."
Amazing. Can't wait to see this one.
Is that Ron Paul at 2:20?
Oh my god this is going to be so hard to watch. I've got the shudders all ready.
I probably should be offended, but strangely I just can't stop laughing...lmao...
I saw it today, and lemme just say, I know why it has an NC-17 rating!
“How do you defend yourself against a man with Two Dildos” should be the tagline on the poster.
that's a weird accent. what's that?
Bruno and Ninja Assassin are on my anticipation list...
@Shonuff
God, I hope so.
Visitor, the accent is German / Austrian. Done quite well, too.
But as you've probably noticed this sounds nothing like Schwarzenegger, so this is the ultra-gay variety...
I saw the sneak-peek at SXSW and I laughed my head off the whole time.
That guy goes directly for the ugliness of American culture and human stupidity, and people get into his game completely oblivious to what they're about to expose.
I cannot wait to see the whole thing.
So what's about O.J. ("traditional African name" for black baby)? I don't get the joke.
DaRussia, I think it has something to do with an indirect reference to "The Simpsons" t.v show. Duh!
The OJ thing is a reference to OJ Simpson.
Laughing, I will type later.
I like how that karate guy goes boom at the end...
Yeah, that's what I meant...OJ Simpson of the "Simpson" family.
Funnyist thing I've seen this year. This will be the film of the year.
So people don't recognise him. He has changed his hair and voice. Can't wait to see the bit with got Arnold Schwarzenegger so angry. :-)
