[Borat]

Have also seen it a second time now.

There is talk that Sacha is in talks with american TV about turning the hours of unused footage into a companion tv series, i hopa that a) we get it in the uk and b) it doesnt effect the amount of extras on the dvd

Apparently Baron Cohen finally got his comeuppance the other day in new york when a man punched him when he tried to kiss him!

Two of the three 'frat guys' in the trailer truck are sueing SBC/FOX due to the embarrasment they have suffered thanks to the movies us release.

I can understand people suing Sacha.

I mean if I signed a waiver and appeared in a movie thats gonna gross over 200 million and I only got paid 200 bucks, I think id want a bigger piece of the pie as well.


I personally dont see where they have a case. they agreed to the fee, they signed the waiver........... so i think they will lose in court.

But they reckon they signed the waiver whilst pissed.

So I finally went to see this movie yesterday. It did disappoint me a bit but only because I?d read so many reviews, watched so many clips and heard so much about it that I knew most of the jokes beforehand! I wish I hadn?t, but how could I, if everybody is talking about it? Nevertheless, it is very funny. I don?t get people that won?t go and watch it claiming that it?s ?racist, sexiest and blah blah blah"! It?s a parody of American society; like someone on a newspaper review said (I don?t remember who): ?It?s like Michael Moore but in comedy?.

The rodeo, when he asks for a handgun to kill Jews, the drinking session with the frat guys? hilarious! The naked fight? yeah? disturbing?

Now what I?m looking forward to is the dvd with the extras.

I have a question: the signing thing, was that staged? Did Pamela know what was going on? Cos she sure looked scared?

[slash666]

^ what i think is, that she knew what was gonna happen but the people around her didn't

[sandman]

awesome movie. probably the funniest i have ever seen.

my stomach hurt i was laughing so hard. i loved when he was "having his way with himself" in front of the victoria secret store. 

i think alot of it was staged, which kinda sucks. but even the Pam scene was great, which obviously was staged. the horse falling wasn't even necessary. not funny at all.

I think what it's going to come down to is the wording of the release.  Typically, they state that the producers, etc have the right to use the footage at their discretion, so even though these people were misled, they won't have a case because a judge would say you knew the footage could show up anywhere, and that includes an american audience. 

i don't think they're pissed about the money... i think they're pissed about how many people saw them looking stupid.  no one would really expect more money unless you have a stake in a film and are getting in on the backend of a movie deal.  it would be as if you were an extra in Mission Impossible 3 and expected a lot of money just because the movie made hundreds of millions of dollars. 

[A Private Eye]

Really great film, Definately one of the funniest things you'll see.

I think some had to be scripted, the Pamela Anderson bit definately imo, had that been real I think her security would have broken his legs, if it wasn't scripted she needs new security They were crap, he chased her through a music store and into a car park before they caught him.

[Graciela]

Well, yeah, I know that scene had to be scripted to a point, I was just wondering how much they actually told her


Now that I think of it, you are probably right: No way he could have chased her all the way to the car park before the bodyguards stopped him 

[Rocksteady]

Borat is hilarious But there's tons of material that had to be cut so the dvd will be extra sweet 

High five

[CheapJon]

does anyone know when the dvd is going to come out?

i thought it was a "only at cinemas" movie

[slash666]

i thought it was a "only at cinemas" movie

yes...because they don't want to make millions 

you really think they would give up the chance to make even more money?

[WARose]

mh....    are there even any "cinema only" movies?

my problem is, that i don`t want to watch the movie in german....

[Kujo]

i thought it was a "only at cinemas" movie

That means that at this time you can only see it in theaters.......................... officially

It will be released on DVD, most likely after the awards season is over.  As of now, no date has been announced for the DVD. There are still 5 countries that haven't had the movie open yet according to IMDB, the last being Italy on March 2nd.
