03.31.08 BRUNO PUNKS BEN AFFLECK, BLACK FOLKS
FilmDrunk was the first to report (as far as I know) that a handful of news reports about a “German” film crew causing trouble in Kansas sounded unmistakably Brüno (Sacha Baron Cohen’s third alter ego after Ali G and Borat).
Now the above video from the Wichita airport incident has hit the web. Many sources are also reporting that the official title of the movie is Brüno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt, but I’m not sure where they’re getting their information. The IMDB page still just says Brüno, and the long title sounds straightforward, rather than satirical - like someone explaining Brüno, not Brüno himself. The writer of this title would’ve called the Borat movie Borat: A British Jew Tours America Pretending to be an Anti-Semitic Kazakh with a Fat Guy and a Bear.
In related news, Mike Walker of the National Enquirer, during his weekly segment on Howard Stern on Friday, told a story about Ben Affleck calling his friend Sarah Silverman following an interview with a “very famous openly gay fashion journalist”, that he called “the weirdest sit-down he had ever had.” He said that the interviewer’s first question had been “How do you like nig**rs?” Of course, Silverman’s immediate reaction was, “Uh, was the guy’s name Brüno?” at which point Affleck realized it had been a gag.
But keep in mind that this was a Mike Walker story. Anyone who’s ever heard his segment on Stern knows he reports, almost exclusively, fishy-sounding celebrity gossip that’s never reported anywhere else. Also, you figure that if Brüno wanted an honest answer to his question, he would’ve asked Dog the Bounty Hunter.

I remember Bruno’s schtick (ooh, Matron. haha. i amuse me) being more satirical than outright funny and couldn’t see how he could carry a movie. I guess they’re just gonna stick to the Borat blueprint. Could be fun.
yeah, he was always my least favorite Ali G character. But he had his moments.
I really don’t like this guy, as Ali G, Borat or Bruno. It’s all pretty much a different degree of the same thing. He’s a one trick pony. I guess I’m supposed to support my fellow brits but I’ll only do that if they give me some quality material.
rehashing the same material just with a different accent is not what I’m after.
Also being in the UK I’ve been seeing this act on TV for years starting way back with the 11 O’clock show so I guess if you guys aren’t sick of him yet you still got some catching up to do.
Yeah, agreed affleck. I was over it a long time ago. Although I thought the Borat movie was pretty funny.
Where you been? You haven’t been around much.
I just can’t wait for all the colllege boys lisping his quotes and the innevitable increase in hate crimes when the really good imitators get hit on.
I been busy, F’in work and shit. I work for a mobile phone company working on Network faults, for about the past month the network has been shit, it seems to have quietened down now.
I realise you’re probably not interested enough to really justify the detailed explanation but I like to be thourough
I thought it was because you’re only going to post on Affleck related threads.
sorry. thorough
I’d like to only post on Affleck related post but that just isn’t enough time dedicated to Affleck on this site.
I keep my Affleck related posts to http://www.Idletaffleckputitinme.com
sorry, there*
If I get through a post with out fucking up it’ll have been worth getting out of bed this morning.
Don’t aplogize to me I’ve been awol. I have 2 portfolios, an essay, an article and I have to edit some shit for the newspaper for today. I’ve been locked in my room like it’s a bomb bunker and I don’t know where this metaphor is going, but it’s nowhere productive.
I’m just dursting this place. The interweb and I are not friends. Anymore.
I went paintballing at the weekend with a few the guys from work. One guy had a fit before we even started shooting. My boss gave up due to exhaustion half way through. Two haven’t turned up to work today due to injury, another because of "domestic issues" and another’s just fucked off to get his kid a dog. I’ve been busting my balls all morning. Kind of.
Paintballng < Speedballing.
I’m now going to read every affleckwasthebomb comment with a strong cockney accent.
I went deep sea fishing and we didn’t catch shit. $150 well spent… I’ve had it with these mother fucking fish, in the mother fucking sea!!!
In fairness to Mike Walker, Ben Affleck is a believable name for any rumor. Someone could tell me, "I heard Affleck went to the emergency room with a Canadian goose stuck in his ass" and I’d nod accordingly.
I spent the saturday in bed with a cold, watching season 1 of Home improvement and getting stoned, best remedy in the world, Tim Allen=worlds funniest coke dealer turned rat.
I also heard he punched an old lady once.
He’s just gone up a notch in my estimation then. He’s now at Notch One. never gets old.
Ali G > Borat > Bruno.
He was good in Madagascar. and that racing movie.
Plus he’s nailing Isla Fisher.
