Bruno

The long-awaited trailer for 'Bruno', Sacha Baron Cohen's follow-up to 'Borat', hit the web today, and it looks just about how you'd expect it to -- funny, borderline-offensive, and boundary-pushing comedy peppered with condescending and exploitative humor aimed at Christian folks from the midwest and south. Not that there's anything wrong with that. On the contrary, although it does not look to be quite as good as 'Borat', I still can't wait until it comes out.

Here's the red-band trailer:



I think my favorite moment is him picking up the black baby on the luggage carousel, followed closely by the bondage situation at the mall and the O.J. line.

Bunch O' Shite

Today, I enjoyed a rarity -- a meeting at a studio that went well and was promising, with notes given which made sense and were helpful. It had gotten to the point I was doubting whether those even existed anymore. It may not lead to anything, but it was nice just to be reminded of the possibilities. In celebration, I'm posting a buffet of treats. Links, photos, news, I got it all. And you want it. You know you want it. You want it so bad, you dirty little tramp, blog you.

--The WBC marches on, and so does the U.S. squad, who won in dramatic fashion in an elimination game. The semi-finals now include the U.S., Venezuela, and Korea, who beat Japan again to win their pool. Japan now plays Cuba in an elimination game to determine the final semi-finalist.

--Sasha Baron Cohen aired some footage of his upcoming movie based on his gay Austrian character, Bruno, at SXSW, and Cinematical has some really great spoilers.

--Screen Junkies has their list of the best 80's TV theme songs. That's why I love them.
