Just look at the amount of folk who've already posted concerning their issues with male nudity and homosexual imagery. That's what he wants, reactions.

I'd bet my Rolex that half the guys complaining about male nudity wouldn't be moaning if it was gratuitous female nudity. If you think about that, that is where Cohen is coming from.

You took the words out of my keyboard!
I swim daily at a large college pool and shower in communal showers so I have gotten over the male nudity issue long ago. At first I felt uncomfortable and asked if I could use the female showers. This request was denied.

What shocks me more these days is the violence in movies which apparently small kids see. The ads' for the recent kid flick 'Transformers' were orgies of mayhem and destruction. Cohen I agree, creates situations that highlight our somewhat skewed values.

For some reason I think men are less likely to complain about communal showers than women.

Could not have put it better myself Jim. I wondered how it was received in the UK Where the people and culture are far more accepting of Homosexuality than the US.

I will just wait for it on DVD.

I do want to see it but I don't want to get caught in the theater watching it

[Letsgodiving]

I haven't seen it but a friend of mine took his 12/13 year old daughter to see it not realizing how graphic it was going to be. He is divorced and doesn't have the best relationship with his ex and swore his daughter to secrecy that they saw it. I thinks he's sweating the fact that she'll tell someone.

Oh well, just when you think a divorce could not get any worse! Just wait until the wife finds out!

I didn't like bruno because i watched borat. basically the same but Borat is just way smarter compared to bruno

[AIKO]

Number one movie in the country, someone must like it. I have not seen it yet but if it is half the movie Borat was, then I will love it.

Didn't get very good reviews. Fandango only rates the movie as so-so. I think it won't be playing for more than a couple of weeks.

Hated it. Wasn't half of Borat, unfortunately.
