Behind The Curtain

Hey Toto, sometimes you don't have to to pull back the curtain. Just let it be. I'm talking about this report from The Smoking Gun. The Smoking Gun is kinda like that kid in the back of the class who reminds the teacher that she forgot to give us homework for the weekend. Why expose what Sacha Baron Cohen is up to for his Bruno movie? Can't they just let some things be? Borat was a brilliant, hilarious movie and I can't wait to see what he has cooked up for his Bruno character. This country is filled with a lot of homophobia. Just beneath it's surface, often seeping through. Even in people who claim to be open minded and have no problem with it. And Cohen using his special brand of magic to make a point and to in a sense let us examine ourselves all while laughing our ass off is a good thing. So why make it harder for him to do it in the future? Meanwhile, they recently screened 20 minutes of the movie at SXSW and it sounds hilarious. I can't wait to see it.
