Isn't 800 screens kind of subverting the chances of success to begin with?

Not that I actually know these things, but wouldn't that be "benutslung?"

He's from England; if he makes twenty bucks from this he'll go home and everyone at the pub will buy him drinks, laughing about how he took those Colonials to the cleaners.

"Our research showed it was soft in awareness"?!

They have done so much publicity, even the ass-backward, barbarian, mental defective rubes in that one country know about the Borat movie.

The studio premiered it at their film festival in Toronto, they couldn't miss it.

I predict that this movie will do marginally well at the box office; and everyone will call it a flop.
However, it will be quoted throughout dorm hallways ad infinitum - and the DVD sales/HBO showings will be brisk.

I also predict that Jegshemesh will be the new cool thing to write on the wall in urinal stalls.

I think they're onto something, though. I remember seeing Borat bus posters in August, then learning it didn't come out until November and thinking, "What the f***?" Borat ain't Batman, folks. Save it up.

They had free screenings? For Borat's MySpace fans? I've never understood the whole "let's have a free screening for the few people who would have paid to see this anyway" thing...

No one digs Borat/Ali G. because he's a comedy bully. Unlike his countrymen Monty Python, who teased rather more gently. I always thought he was wack.

Sooner or later, Fox had to acknowledge that looming juggernaut that is THE ESCAPE CLAUSE.

Damn! I was going to mention the Snakes Factor yesterday -- and thus earn myself a slightly used Emmy -- but I thought, no, people seem to like the movie itself, as opposed to the idea of the movie.

That's what I get for thinking. Stupid philosophy degree.
