OK, so I've finally seen Borat. It was the stupidest movie I have ever seen,
possibly with the exception of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, which I have
no desire to watch again to make a comparison. Borat was crass beyond
expectation, possibly more so than John Waters' early films such as Pink
Flamingos.
Borat is low-brow comedy at its worst, and when it started to get some bad
press, the PR machine apparently spun it as a high-brow project to expose
people's prejudices. Baloney.
I had 4 laughs, maybe.
Best Scene: he enters the hotel to get a room, dressed and talking like a
player.
Worst Scene: a gigantic ass and balls are in his face as they wrestle in the
nude. I've heard of suffering for one's art, but that was ridiculous. I
didn't laugh. Rather, my eyes bugged out as I said to myself, "What was he
thinking!?"

Apparently he hasn't been thinking for a very long time. I would be
deeply concerned about the mental capacities of not just the actors, but
of anyone who actually enjoyed the flick. And yes, I did see it. I'm
part of a parent's group at my church and we review all movies that play
in our local theaters to determine if they our appropriate for our
children to see. I wouldn't allow my daughter's hamster to see that one.
It would insult his intelligence. Apparently there are quite a few
people with less smarts than little furry Ralph.

I would be deeply concerned about people I know and care about. Your
mental capacities are your own concern - and the concern of people you
may be in a position to influence.

So vulgarity is acceptable for adults?
Sorry, don't agree. I'm not a kid (or a pet), and that movie wasn't for me.
I don't have a fragile mind, either. And it wasn't for me.
