People have brains? Whatever the reasons, I couldn't be more delighted.
Nothing about Brüno is modest, so it makes perverse sense that the film's failure would be flamboyant.
The year's most hyped movie has become the summer's most conspicuous bomb. After opening to No. 1 at the North American box office two weekends ago, the Sacha Baron Cohen comedy dropped to fourth place last weekend and will slip further this weekend.

Psychiatrist Mark Goulston: Idiot of the Day
Now the studios are hiring quacks to tell us what is funny and what isn't?
On the other end of the spectrum are those viewers who don’t like Bruno, who typically feel victimized by the world and who take themselves very seriously. Their core identity is that of a victim, Goulston says.
"Show me someone who’s really offended by Bruno and I’ll show you a highly self-righteous person," he says. "These people feel that the world already treats them the way Bruno treats people.”
The movie tends to bring out the adolescent rebel in us, Goulston says.
The "adolescent" part, he's dead on....

Brüno
I've been trying to avoid any mention of this film, and the travesty of a man behind it, but others too see him for what he is.
Yeah, yeah I know, he's a genius and we just don't get it...
Too bad Towleroad promotes it with frightening regularity.
Sacha Baron Cohen was on The Tonight Show last week, promoting his new film Brüno, in which he plays a "flamboyant" gay reporter with the ostensible objective of exposing homophobia. But just like every other promotional appearance for the film, SBC arrived in character and made Brüno's sexuality and gender expression the continuous punchline throughout the interview. The only homophobia being exposed that I could see was SBC's.

I hate Borat part8
I hate Borat and whatever other personna he returns in.
Instead of the wacky world of anti-Semitism, he is tackling homophobia as only a genius of his stature can achieve =/
Again his fans will explain away his brutal form of "humour" with layers of meaning that just isn't there.
"He is exposing the idiocy of average Americans"
True and those idiots are his fans.
