06.29.09 UNIV SHOULD BORROW BAY’S ROBOT BALLS
On Friday I reported that Universal had cut a scene from Brüno featuring LaToya Jackson a few hours before the Brüno premiere in LA. At the time it was unclear whether the scene would make it into the theatrical version. They’ve since confirmed that it won’t be.
The studio confirmed the scene would be out of the theatrical version of the movie, and said removing it won’t be expensive because the prints have not yet been made or shipped.
Sacha Baron Cohen interviews an unsuspecting LaToya Jackson about a number of topics, including her brother. Among the gags is a joke about the King of Pop’s high-pitched voice, as well as a reference to his trademark white glove, all done in Baron Cohen’s characteristically absurdist tone. [THR]
Oh no, not his voice or his glove! Too far, you guys. That’s the Ronald Reagan of pop you’re talking about. Lot of people think you can make fun of dead people, but really, that’s the best time to make fun of them. For one they can’t chase you and for another you can dress them in silly outfits. Haha, why you hittin yourself, Billy Mays?

The bright side is that it’s one less line my old frat brothers will have to remember.
Ah…Mike…even after death, you’re having stuff removed and altered.

R.I.P. K.O.P.
Pretty smart move. Since they’ll want DVD sales high too, they’ll just add it back in when it comes time to release and advertise the hell out of how the DVD includes the scene that was too controversial for theaters. Bruno fans will lap that shit up.
On a related note, I really fucking hate people.
With deference to Farrah Fawcett’s death, filmmakers have decided to cut out another 70% of the movie before theatrical release.
I like making fun of dead people who are stil5 alive, like Courtney Love, and Larry King.
I do a move called the “Michael Jackson” where I beat off wearing a single, lubed, latex glove.
Christopher Nolan considered cutting Heath Ledger’s scenes in The Dark Knight after he died, but he’s not a fucking idiot.
They wanted to replace the footage with another interview with a guy with a high-pitched voice and a strange glove, but the Mets wouldn’t give David Wright permission.
*BREAKING NEWS!*
Michael Jackson references are now being cut out of all existing movies, with the exception of one film genre: Thriller.
Reports suggest all future DVD prints of Moonwalker will have Micheal Jackson digitally removed. A spoksmen for (insert company name) said, “it’s 100% less creepy now.”
The hard part was trying to remove Michael Jackson out of children.
Pauly, You mean trying to remove Michael Jackson’s HARD PART out of children
LaToya wants to know if she can still keep the sandwich they gave her for her interview.
And all this time i thought MJ secretly WAS LaToya! i’m stunned.
