In the box office that is. Harry Potter took a commanding box office lead while Bruno went flaccid in the second week dropping to $8.4 million. Who are we to judge when Harry Potter knows how to work his wand better than Bruno with his.
Interesting quote from someone who saw the movie last night: Bruno to gays is like Flavor Flav to the civil rights movement. Brace yourselves and expect a total mockery of homosexuals throughout the movie. Keeping an open mind will probably make the movie more enjoyable.
The greatest fear is that Bruno will set gays back 10 years if the movie is taken out of context. If you live in the middle of nowhere and don’t know any gay friends, you might mistakenly associate Bruno with normal gay behavior.
Bruno premiered in London today while Americans are suckered into waiting another month when it will be released on July 10th, so it does not have to compete against other strong summer blockbusters for the same movie audiences that premieres before the week of July 10th.
Watch Bruno London Video from CNN.
Today, Bruno marched down Leicester Square in London dressed in sexy female Halloween costumes of the Queen’s guard uniforms. In the spirit of promoting the Bruno Movie, Sacha Cohen and skimpy Halloween costumes are now synonymous to homosexual Austrian television personalities. We have to appreciate all the good that has come out of these antics, especially the hired female models that accompany Bruno. They wore equally sexy attire that left little to the imagination, and more or less appearing hotter than Bruno.
Gordon Smart of the UK Sun provides a colorful recap of the Bruno movie and what movie audiences can expect from Sacha Baron Cohen’s soon to be a walk on the brown side blockbuster premiering in July 2009. Teenagers watching the Bruno Movie with their parents will experience more awkwardness than being caught watching porno in their rooms.
Brüno decides to become heterosexual — “like TOM CRUISE, JOHN TRAVOLTA and KEVIN SPACEY”. And an interview with a pastor, who specialises in turning gay men straight, is priceless.
The Bruno movie is social commentary disguised as a flamboyantly gay documentary / candid camera comedy that captures peoples’ reactions at its truest forms revealing them as prejudice, homophobic and having no sense of reality verses staged comic gold.
