Sure, let's see BRUNO... I want AIR CON, dammit!

Vanessa just buzzed me on Facebook chat when I wasn't at the computer. So then I called her instead: sure, I'm up to see Brüno with her and Krista! Maybe we'll have bubble tea afterwards, too. Discussed church, bras, the heat, the hot sun, and more.

[18:07:50] Flami: learning about martyrs: someone just invited me to see BRUNO... should I?
[18:08:49] Corey: I watched it the other night, go for it.. it's not nearly as explicit as I thought it would be. all buttsex is censored and there's not a lot of it, really :P
[18:09:29] Corey: his Bruno segments from his TV show are better, though... this one feels way too staged... the whole point of the character is to get reactions out of other people, not to be funny by himself :P
[18:09:43] Corey: it has some funny stuff
[18:10:28] Flami: well, I would hope it's censored...
[18:15:21] Corey: oh yeah? why's that?
[18:15:35] Corey: movies usually aren't!
[18:16:00] Corey: he mostly does that to add a big censor bar to himself that makes him look like he has a lot more to cover up than there is :P
[18:16:15] Corey: anyway, go see it, it was a lot more tame than I expected it to be
[18:26:34] Flami: because it's BUTTSEX, duh!
[18:26:48] Corey: it's like Borat, but instead of harassing people as Borat, he does it as a really gay guy
[18:27:41] Corey: there aren't any extended buttsex scenes or whatever :P there's a big montage at the start, of inventive ways to have sex with his midget lover or whatever, but they're mostly clothed and there's censor bars on things... it's not that bad
[18:29:38] Flami: .... WHAT?!!! *calls Krista and Vanessa to cancel*
[18:29:57] Flami: as long as it's funnily done and sorta tasteful-ish...
[18:31:36] Corey: well, if the movie offends you, you don't get the joke :P you're not supposed to like his character or the stuff he does... the point is how the other people react to it... the character is a prank on anyone that would be offended by such a thing
[18:35:58] Flami: ah, okay. got it
[18:40:31] Corey: there's a bit from the TV series where he's on the beach and finds an RV full of some college's wrestling team, so he interviews them for his show (Funkyzeit mit Brüno!) ... and they wrestle with him, and he gets them to show off their muscles for him... and at one point, he convinces them to show their asses, and these guys do it for some reason.... he keeps making them yell and get crazy for the camera
[18:41:04] Corey: anyway... at the end, he says: "wow, you guys have been great! Do you have any final message for Austria's gay community?"
[18:41:23] Corey: "WHAT!??!?!"

"yeah, this is a gay show, you've been great!!"
[18:42:56] Corey: the movie is about Bruno going to America to try to get really famous
[18:45:19] Corey: so he interviews people and does various publicity stunts to try to get famous
[18:45:53] Flami: hahahahaha
[19:00:12] Corey: I don't think Borat or Bruno are amazing movies... but the characters (Borat mostly) have a ton of awesome stuff in the TV shows... check out Da Ali G Show for that. there's two separate shows, one season in the UK with a live audience (no Bruno, and Borat stuff is all pre-recorded, not live), and then he had two seasons of a US version of the show, which introduced Bruno.
[19:00:13] *** Auto-response sent to Corey: I am currently idle.
[19:02:07] Corey: it's all a lot more low-key and focused on interacting with real people and getting funny reactions out of them :P plus all the Ali G stuff, which is kind of the same.. Ali G is a gangsta rapper that thinks he's from Jamaica, and always talks about girls and smoking pot. he gets interviews with all kinds of scientists and government people, and acts like a complete moron
[19:03:03] Corey: sometimes they play along, sometimes they just can't deal with him being such a moron and get mad... either way, it's usually funny :P the Borat segments in both series are my favorite parts...
[19:04:16] Corey: there's one where he goes to an anti-fur rally in the UK, while wearing a badge that has something to do with hunting bears... this old lady is talking to him, then looks closer at his jacket and gets really pissed off... "THIS SAYS YOU KILL BEARS!!" "WHAT? YOU KILL BEARS!?!? YOU'RE EVIL!!"
[19:05:01] Corey: "no no, we love animals in Kazakhstan!" "then why do you kill them?!?!?" "eh.... for fun!"
[19:06:16] Corey: and with another lady, he talks about how they have a show about animals in Kazakhstan where they treat the animals so nice... then he goes on to explain that the show is about dressing the animals up in silly costumes, and heating the floor underneath them to make them jump up and down :P the lady wasn't too impressed
[19:07:22] Flami: going now, if I can find my keys
