• Jesus, the movie isn’t even out and I’m like ‘enough already’.

• #10 was sort of amusing, but everything after that seemed increasingly dragged out. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Letterman has crappy writers.

• i’m gay and can’t wait to see this movie, and i thought this was pretty funny. kudos to Letterman for having Sasha AS Bruno on the show. (Would the Tonight Show do this?) i love Sasha because he is fearless. yes they are pushing it like mad, but at least it’s (based on reviews) not crap like Transformers 2.

• It should be a funny movie but I’m surprised that the politically correct, liberal thought police would approve of a movie making fun of everyone.

• Not bad. No doubt it would have been funnier if Cohen had written it.

• Cohen did appear as Bruno on Conan’s show (and it was damn funny).

• Walt, Cohen was on The Tonight Show as Bruno during the week before last. That was a full interview in character, instead of a character reading lines that hacks have written for him. Trust me, his performance on The Tonight Show was much, much more entertaining.

• Is Bruno’s last name Zoolander?

• The first part is very, very funny … & you’re right to point out the hard R / full frontal MALE nudity (props to SBC for, um, putting – pulling? – out).

  The second half is horrifying, violent & cringe inducing – not so much because Bruno is a flaming queen, more Halloween than anything reality based – but because he shows Americans’ unvarnished in their raving, lunatic, mob mentality homophobia. Most people never see this because … they’re straight! But what pained me, as a gay man, was that even in the exaggerated situations, I recognized the sharpest and most painful shards of homegrown homophobia.

  Far from fulfilling GLAAD’s hate-on-SBC wish list, I felt what Bruno served up is a really proud, unapologetically – albeit cartoonish – gay/queer person who refuses (because he can’t) to conform to the straight jacket. Here, in this movie, we get to see someone who is fun, flamboyant and fucked when he makes a misstep or doesn’t catch a cultural cue. He’s gay dork meets fashionishta & well worth seeing.

• This just in: “Sacha does a #2 in his pants. Audiences are rolling in the aisles everywhere.”

  Yeppers, some people sure know ‘funny’ when they see it.

• Well, I am looking forward to this movie. I like a good laugh. As far as stereotypes are concerned, I can laugh at myself. I can also laugh at others poking fun at my quasi culture as long as it is humor and not for hate.
