Dirty Movies

Borat sent to the showers. A saucy Bogart. Also: Honoring Maj. McClung. Bushing for vetoes.

(Page 4 of 14)

p> Ben Stein's article on Borat is dead on. Years ago films like Song of Bernadette , Ben Hur and On the Waterfront won Academy Awards. Today, film makers (or what passes for them) compete in a race to the bottom. Lets see who can produce even lower levels of dehumanizing violent trash. The excuse from Hollywood; freedom of expression. Some freedom...Some expression... br> -- Bob Montrose br> Fort Lee, New Jersey /p> p> Yes, the movie is full of (at best) juvenile humor, but I thought the point was to caricature and parody Borat and his attitudes. I was laughing at him, not with him. I thought it was a satire. I suppose I could be wrong about this; my wife felt the same way you did (we are not Jewish). But either way, you're right about this: after I saw it, I did want to take a shower. br> --
