Not very often, don�t you!
I have seen one just right now.
Actors? Ah! Masterful from Orson Wells to Robert Shaw ( How good this actor was! ) and Paul Scofield.
The text is just brillant. Not one moment of weakness.
This film bring us nearer to God as any of all the one I saw before.

The Borat? - Victor Khomenko 19:57:53 03/15/07 (19)
It's been a long while since I saw that one.
Have you seen the Borat? It's been two days, and I still feel like I swam in a puke.

    You might find it hard to believe, but Borat affected me.

      I am watching it tonight for the third time so I can try to understand why I like it so mmuch, and THEN, and only then, I can purge those Boratish demons from my soul. Very Nice.....

      Had the movie bombed, I'd feel a lot better about it.

  black "lady" to the Southerners dinner party?
  Hilarious.

    because it was when he was most assaultive.
    You know, you could argue that, for instance, the rodeo crowd got what it deserved but to be welcomed into someones home and call their wife ugly and bring shit to the table was just rude and more than anyone or any group of people in the film, in my opinion, he took advantage of those people (that's assuming it wasn't staged).

        I especially liked the story, in the deleted scenes, about his brother Bilo. About how, to get rid of the demon in Bilo's head, they opened his skull and put the tooth of a red heded woman in it, like that was such a standard operating procedure at home. Of course it didn't help and Bilo was now a retard. The look of restrained incredulity on the Doctor's face was very nice IMHO.
        Those Kazhaks' have very strange beliefs.

    What exactly was hilarious about that? The Southerners looked like perfectly normal people being assaulted by some idiot, they behaved too well, if anything. Their self control was amazing. Almost British.
    Hell, ALL people he tried to ridicule behaved normal. I enjoyed watching the asshole trying to rock the etiquette lady... she was sooo much above his adolescent lever, it wasn't a fair fight. He was like a second-grader trying to embarrass his teacher by farting aloud.
    Surely there were some giggles in the class... I stopped being entertained by that sort of things when I was 40, perhaps.

  Bon Appetit! No I don�t. And maybe I never will.

    What is the European press say about that marvel?
    In the meantime I better take a few more baths, or you will make me sleep in the shed.

      The same critics as in the US...VERY positive.

  It's been since December, and I still feel that way.

    You know it takes a special kind of a film to make feminists look like normal people.
