good, bad, or ugly?

the ali g show is fantastic.
you know ali g right?

well you should.
you have probably at least heard of borat.

well, sacha baron cohen created 3 characters for his tv series 'da ali g show', that he uses to interview people:
ali g; an under-educated hip-hopper, borat; a backwoods kazakhstani reporter, and bruno; a gay austrian fashionista.

hilarity ensues.
like so:




well, his 3rd feature film is now in the works, but it might suck.

the ali g movie was a stinker. but for whatever reason they made it a scripted movie, not a series of interviews like the show. it didn't work.

borat was a hit.
a big hit.
it followed the formula.

so now the third character is getting a film. how will bruno be?

will borats success, and cohen's fame take away from the kamikaze style of interview that cohen is known for...
bruno is a pretty freakin funny character, but i don't know how it'll translate if everyone interviewed knows they're being made fun of...

what you think, gentle reader?

here's a bruno clip from the show for reference.
