I was out of town when they released the trailer from Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G, Borat) for the new movie depicting his gay Austrian chracter Bruno, so here it is:
Check out more Bruno Movie news here.
Bruno was slapped with an NC-17 rating and is set to be released on July 10, 2009.
When films like this are met without response, the negative consequences hurt us all…even the tamer and lamer "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" made same-sex marriage a joke, and that makes gay people a joke.
And I don't buy the humor excuse, there's nothing clever about hate; there's nothing sardonic or ironic about Cohen's new film.
Cohen even mocks the Prop 8 demonstrations in crashing rallies. What a jerk.
You may have a point with people not familiar with Cohan’s work but I know I have been a Bruno fan for many many years. The character is classic, first developed back in 1998 and when he first came up with the character it was designed to mock the haters.
But the character has evolved into some very raunchy situations as all three of his characters have.
Believe it or not it is humor in the way of shows such as Will and Grace that has made gay life seem more normal to the younger generation.
