*High Five*

If there was any justice in this world, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan would win the Oscar of Best Picture.

I can't remember the last time I watched something so funny. Hands down the best movie of 2006.

whoa, really? i haven't seen it because the [American] trailer, i find sooo annoying. what little i've seen struck me as extremely similar to, say, American comedy about 'rednecks', just with the pronouns changed and the accent altered. i just remember thinking 'easy targets: ick!' but hmm, 'm interested too^ now that you like it. maybe i will pick up one of those $5 bootleg dvd's on Canal St...

xo, math+

Based on the trailer, I thought it would be the kind of movie where the gags get tired, where it's all a bit "Jackass". But it's actually a very clever satire, dressed almost like a fairytale (as Kevin would put it). Plus, it's just bizarre some of the things that happen to him, and that he does -- you never see any of it coming, which makes for a very unpredictable and hilarious movie.
