I Am Excite

Adrian and I caught
Borat this afternoon. Sacha Baron Cohen is one of the most admirable men on the planet. In fact,
Borat is probably the most
crucially intelligent film featuring a naked fat man’s bunghole, and whoever dismisses this film as just another crass stunt is a moron.
Barely anyone else was in the cinema. A crying shame, especially since most of the moviegoers opted for
Happy Feet. The trailer for that thing put me off immediately. Too contrived. Of course people will flock to see a cute baby CGI penguin dancing cutely to cute music in the cute name of something cutely called a heartsong cute cute. It’s fucking fail-safe.
A heartsong. A
heartsong.
I can be a total sap. I think baby animals are nice to look at, and yes, sometimes I find them heart-wrenching. But a fat, baby computer-generated penguin? A heartsong? A
heartsong? The whole thing reeks of evil. The whole thing begs you to watch it.
Not to say that
Borat never begged me to watch it, albeit through a premise on the opposite end of the spectrum, but that's a completely different case, of course. Pakshet. Just watch the damn thing.
