Why "Bruno" Is Good For The World

GlobalPost:

Let me get this out of the way first: Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius.

You don't create a global commerical phenomenon (twice), make a stunning rate of return -- Baron Cohen's first film"Borat," which cost $18 million to produce, grossed $261 million -- and torment multiple governments without serious brains lurking behind your fuzzy mustache or sequined underpants.

Bruno's popularity is a reflection on society more than on him. Is this what we have come to, as a model of entertainment?

[carolontheweb]

the name is COHEN..... nothing else needs to be said

That is why there is a movie.

That is why there is buzz

that is why this CREEP is in our face

Sounds like conspiracy theorism to me. Guess you wish they'd stick to controlling all the banks.....

No son. Or daughter. It's supply and demand. Cohen (Ali-G, Borat, Bruno, and others) has made his own way, long before this movie. He's hilarious. I don't care what his name is, or means.

Let's cut to the chase: nobody is going to put out a movie that's going to lose money, Jews or otherwise. It's there cause it's in demand. Come to grips with it.

Sacha Baron Cohen is NOT a genius.

He is a nasty piece of ilk given a bully pulpit to act out his immature 8 year-old's wet dreams in an adult male body, depending on the EXTREME TOLERANCE of others..."ala 'girls gone baaaaaaad'....

For the good of the world, I hope he never has children.

I would think the Huffington Post would allocate precious journalistic space, to issues of substance,

Promoting a corporate mass marketed movie for "free" does not qualify as a social benefit, in my opinion!

[AhnAmuru]

Contrary to the title, that person to whom you refer has singlehandedly cost alot of goodwill.

Moreso, coming on the heels of Perez Hilton baiting will.i.am.

What's next, an article why that 1930s black actor Stepin Fetchit was *good for the world*?
The world just doesn't have enough over-broad negative stereotypes.

[ModernTimes1]

If you don't get the film's humor. then then why obsessively post about it. Or are you deluded
enough to think anyone gives a fk about your opinion?

[AlexFTW]

Lol.

[wrender]

I wonder what leads you to believe that anyone "gives a fk" about yours. I think MikeDu has a decent point there. So please, in the future, speak for yourself.

Thanks.

So at the Metreon in SF, there was a huge line for this movie on the day it opened. The next day there was no line at all. I'll wait for the DVD.
