Borat Movie In Thailand?

[Mangkud]

Hi there,

will the movie "Borat" with "Ali G" mastermind Sacha Cohen be shown in Thailand?

Did anyone see where they show it?

Question should be specified: Where do they show "Borat" in Bangkok?

[londonthai]

I do suspect it's already on DVD's on the street stalls

[inthaiguy]

Blockbuster Hollywood movies usually get shown.... EVERYWHERE.

[Old Croc]

Stand by for Sacha Baron Cohen's next movie project where he plays another of his tv characters, gay Austrian fashion reporter, Bruno.

Universal Pictures paid around $40,000,000 for the movie rights.

Borat isn't listed on movieseer.com so far

Can't see how they're going to trick people with Bruno the same way they did with Borat when they go making announcements like that...

AFAIK this film is just being released in the U.S.A. today (3 November 2006). So that measn it could show up here in the theatres anytime over the six months. It could show up at Apex (Lido, Scala Siam) or House/RCA, all of which are listed at MovieSeer.

I see SBC is back for Madagascar 2; he was OK in Talladega Nights.

I haven't seen it yet, but it got some great reviews here:

i ' ve just seen borat in europe at the moment and well , .. it is pretty insulting for ....

but it is great , from beginning till end full of laughter , absolutely crazy , great acting and combination as a documentary ( not everything is set up for the movie but as a serious doc )

and then the kazak accent ofcourse

a spontaneous applaus at the end from a fully crowded movietheater says enough

( in russia already forbidden , i wonder why )

Sacha Baron Cohen is sharp but does not generally make me laugh. Humour is subjective ?

I will however be looking forward to his turning up at the Ladyboy Pageant in Pattaya.

No doubt he will upset all in sundry with his gay Austrian fashion reporter, Bruno.

What would add a nice touch to the proceedings would be the arrival of that other Teutonic

fashion icon Karl Lager-lout with his fan to cool down his ardour.

I saw this film over the weekend, it is very funny

Its irony is his take on anti-semitism - while SBC is himself Jewish.

Most memorable scene is Borat and his travelling companion fighting in their hotel bedroom ...NAKED its is so WRONG but so funny as well. Will stay ingrained on my memory for a long time

Well worth watching, the US expats will enjoy as well I think for the various regional portrayal of Americans featured in it. (Brash, no-nonsense New Yorkers, Middle Class White Prudes from Alabama, Outrageous LA folk, stereo-typical Frat types)

Borats ability to unveil the bigotry, misogynism, racism from his victims is very clever, the ones who find it offensive need to keep it within context. Saying that I can understand some objections as it does sail close to the wind in parts, exp the cruelty to animals bits. Overall well worth the cinema fee - go see

Borat is a blast, i heartily recommend it to all.

[bkkmick]

Watched it today (bought the CD last night). Very funny. Love it. Also enjoyed his previous incarnation as Ali G.

ANyone hear the song "throw the jew down the well" hahahaha

I still didn't find a cinema in Bangkok showing Borat. Really would like to see on the big screen, not on CD at home.

Anyone already watched it somewhere in Bkk? Movieseer.com still doesn't list the movie... Maybe the publisher didn't see a market in LOS?

It just came out in english in France, and I saw it last night...

Still 24 hours on I'm laughing my ass off! Hilarious!!

I havent seen it yet, but there are plenty of copies available on DVD on the Sukhumvit Road markets.

I don't know where did you get this information - it's in the theaters in Moscow right now.

Great movie, I saw anoncement, he's a bad.... I think it's a masterpiece of brit wit, sarcasm and satire. Just great! Go to china town, Pantip, Fortune, Silom - get your copy right now. Goes fine with beer and another english speaking fella.

Attention! Do not try to explain jokes to your thai GF/BF/LBFM !

[Amethyst]

Funny Borat i watched him mostly on Youtube lol

Borat: This is my Sister, this is my wife, they are no 1 prostitude in Kazakstan

Borat : We go disco dancing

Borat : i love my country

hahahaha

I support the US and A war of terror..........

I like the TV show, but I didn't like the movie - I thought that it just seemed contrived. I had the same feeling watching it as I did with the Ali G movie.

[leftcross]

i really wanted to see this at the cinema in thailand but it doesnt look like it will make it here.

i bought a pirate dvd for 100 baht from MBK, quality wasnt too good but was a very funny movie....

[girlx]

this movie was so freaking funny, in spite of how horribly offensive it was to just about everyone. especially americans should get the humor in it, i am not sure yet how my european friends will find it. it was good to close out 2006 with gales of laughter last night.

[girlx]

wow that has some pretty racist undertones in it if you ask me, columbo. (your response, that is)

I needed 5 puke buckets to get thru this movie for 2 reasons

make that 3 reasons.

the third being that your inadequacies , anger , racist hate and obvious jealousy at mr. cohens worldwide success are causing you acute anxiety bringing on nausea.

i should add that your posts are causing nausea in others too.

[tuky]

I have deleted several posts in this thread. Apologies to those who did nothing wrong.

Hopefully this is the last we will hear from our outspoken friend.

Cheers
