I haven't seen Forbidden Kingdom yet.

I hope Tony Jaa makes another movie soon. He's pretty exciting.

Ong Bak 2 should be coming out in Thailand this year.

OMG, Kurt just quoted the Globe and Mail (aka the Glib and Male, aka the people who sometimes let me write banal little Style section pieces for them) and pay me for it? I'm impressed you're watching our media backs. Also: Raymond Burr on a postage stamp? So Canadia does big-ass stamps now?

(cough)

Ssorry, that was just bitchy mean...

He must've spent too much time in L'America, eh?

Cohen is back at it, but not with the over-exposed Borat. He's back with Bruno, the fictional homosexual Austrian fashion TV reporter who no one knows. Yet.

Cohen is in the midst of bringing Bruno to the big screen and this week brings news of a spectacular stunt in the great state of Arkansas. (By the way, the rumored movie title? "Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt"). You can learn all you need to know about how things went down in Texarkana and Fort Smith over at The Smoking Gun. In short, Cohen lured specators to what they thought was a night of cage fighting, $1 beer and "hot chicks," according to an event poster. What they got was angry, at the sight of two men undressing and kissing in the ring -- and at being duped.

It's classic Cohen guerilla comedy tactics designed to turn unsuspecting Americans into extras in his latest project. I was convinced that after Borat became such a big film success, Cohen would have to change course completely. Apparently not. It's a big country out there, and if you like to laugh, that's a good thing.

"Bruno" came to the Dallas 'burb Pogo! lives in and duped everyone at a TV taping. (Not difficult, I imagine.) Maybe I can still track down the newspaper article he sent me....

(otherwise, I guess this is a useless post)  (    )

Always nice to see you, though!   Thats not useless.

The Fountain for instance has one story about a conquistador.  One story is about a guy flying through space with a tree <<cough Backyard Adventure II  cough>>.  The other one (and what certainly seemed like the longest one) a woman is slowly dying from cancer.

I think you have a little something in your throat there, capt.

"Bruno" story from Tex-ass

CARROLLTON – Last week, at one of those big office parks on International Parkway, a whole bunch of people got really mad.

So mad, in fact, that dozens stormed out of a television taping – even though each had been paid $50 cash for agreeing to be an audience member of what promoters referred to vaguely as a new talk show.

The object of their anger? Well, that was the secret, and apparently few of them knew the identity of the character who got so deeply under their skin and wouldn't let go. His name is Sacha Baron Cohen, who, when it comes to comedy, is a mastermind of ambush humor.

Guerrilla cinema.

Hey, don't get me wrong. While I don't always approve of his tactics, he's unnervingly funny, with an edge as sharp as a knife. His ability to expose anti-Semitism or homophobia is pure genius. And May 28 in Carrollton was not the first time he had targeted North Texas as an unwitting laboratory.

At his 2006 movie premiere, actor Sacha Baron Cohen arrived in character as Borat for "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

In his 2006 movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, a bunch of people get duped, including several at Dallas-area locations.

Apparently, not enough people in Carrollton had seen Borat.
