Go See Borat

Maybe George Clooney was right, Hollywood is more higher minded than the rest of the country. After all - the higher ups in LA all thought that movies and shows that featured violence, gross crude humour, and making fun of Jews will fail commercially. Of course - Family Guy, South Park, and now Borat have proven just how sad the American populace is - or just that ordinary Americans have a good sense of humour.

I am not going to give much away - but when you have "shape-shifting" Jews, prostitutes, and Pamela Anderson in an ornate burlap sack - at somepoint in those 90 minutes you are going to laugh - hard.

The anti-Semitism is overt to hilarious parody, although the Emory kids felt really bad about laughing, and some of them after the show looked like they felt a burning sensation when they went to pee.

I figured this movie would do well when I went to buy my ticket at 6:30pm and both 8pm shows were sold out. The 7:30pm show was open because no one in their right mind would plan to be in Atlantic Station at that time - Friday traffic would guarantee that you would run late.
