Today was rather uneventful - deliberately so. Nancy and I had a quiet morning and later in the day we decided to stay home and fix dinner, rather than go out to eat. It was a good choice, because we fixed a great meal - steak, baked potato, salad and pastry for dessert. Afterwards we saw the movie Borat. I have been hearing so much about Borat lately that I wanted to see what all the commotion was about. It is controversial. And rightfully so. It teeters between moments of "poor taste" and "abominable taste". It even manages to be funny at times. It's - in a nutshell - ingenious and outrageous! As for viewing the proposed sequel - I'll have to think about it. The next movie that we watch will probably be, "The Last King of Scotland". I know it will have more depth than Borat and it should also be more satisfying. I guess it was an OK experience viewing Borat - if for no other reason than to form my own opinion so as not to just listen to the spin of others as far as it's value to the film industry. Personally, I think it has a somewhat limited value when compared to films that I consider really exceptional i.e. Hud, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf, Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, etc., but for this movie's genre (movies that uses toilet humor, bigotry, anti-Semitic jokes, anti-gay and racial slurs - all of it packaged in a way so as to offend virtually everyone) - it works rather well. No doubt, Baron Cohen (Borat) is laughing all the way to the bank.
