Bruno

No pictures will be uploaded. Very little effort into this blog. I watched the movie Hostile several years ago. It was a miserable experience for me...a lot of people liked it...I don't know why, but people have different views on things, I obviously have mine. To me Hostile was a series of brutally honest torture scenes held together by a weak script. I'm sorry, but I don't find torture at it's core an honorable human activity, and even less honorable trying to reproduce the experience just because.

Bruno is the same movie, but in a different genre...Cohen simply goes about being as absurd as possible...anal sex joke after anal sex joke. Swinger parties...whatever. Bruno is nothing more than a series of exploitation skits that you could get the same result just by browsing porn on the internet...it's mindless...easy to do, extremely easy...simply think something as absurd as possible, shoot it, then do it over and over and over for 90 minutes...it's a shame. Any portion of this could give you a laugh in installments of a minute segment, and that's it...but being repetitive it just wore me down worse than a marathon would be. And should be a mockery and an embarrassment to any homosexual out there.

And in this installment, it is completely obvious that none of the skits are real...at least in Borat it seemed like he was really "fooling" people...everyone was acting. I refuse to see another Cohen movie. People always mention that he "pushes" boundaries. I don't consider pushing boundaries being able to fit a wine bottle up your ass...

My Score: 0
Metacritic: 54

People have different views on things. Long story short, I like to laugh. I don't like to feel ashamed for the human race. I would give it a negative...but a zero means unwatchable. Fair enough.
