This somehow didn't live up to my expectations and exceeded them at the same time. I found the first half kind of boring and felt maybe I was too grown up to enjoy it. The second half was surprisingly touching and turned into a pretty sweet story. I didn't expect to be so moved by Borat letting Tutar out of her cage or telling Tutar that he loved more than his sons after fleeing the hotel. And then the post-climax reimagining of Kazakstan as feminist nation was incredible and funny and even prescriptive for a very sick America. Just fantastic. I read somewhere (this thread probably) that the theme of the movie is that America in 2020 is an unsafe place for women. I think I'll watch it again with that in mind.

The Human Crouton posted:That was my first thought. I didn't see anything in that clip that I couldn't set up myself. I think I read that the setup part was he just kept singing the same chorus until people freaked out (8+ mins apparently), and also he had a proxy make a big donation the day before the rally on condition that the proxy also be allowed to provide security, who ran interference for Sasha on stage until the crowd got really worked up.

Nathan for You is incredible because it starts off really good and just gets better and better right to the last episode. I saw Tim and Eric do a Q&A live in January and Tim was talking about Nathan being an influence on him and giving him advice on getting projects produced/editing/etc, which totally blew my mind. I'd love to see all those guys, maybe with Eric Andre too, just running hog wild on unsuspecting americans.
