And besides, everyones going to quote it at you anyway. You might as well get that stuff first hand.piker62https://www.blogger.com/profile/10976799832683250524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-5036849030539746582006-11-14T13:28:00.000-08:002006-11-14T13:28:00.000-08:00Wow.

Sasha Baron Cohen certainly picked a fast-moving target. Beating up the American middle class has been hip even since "American Beauty."<br /><br />I'm probably not gonna see this film, but not because Mr. Baron Cohen is making fools of us.

Gimme Rachel Green.<br /><br />Apropos "The Bridge:" Glen Kinion, my news-cameraman friend, said on the afternoon of September 11, 2001 the highlands over the Golden Gate Bridge were lined with stringers, news-camera people. They were waiting for the jumbo jet to show up and take the bridge out. Someone must have taken this rather ghoulish idea to it's logical conclusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-84320473806702875812006-11-13T13:27:00.000-08:002006-11-13T13:27:00.000-08:00I don't think I've laughed as hard in years as I d...I don't think I've laughed as hard in years as I did at Borat's movie, though it is indeed a sometimes painful mirror on American culture .. my favorite scene, if I had to pick just one, would have to be when he gets "saved" at the revival meetingReel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.com
