Many Christians at the time were the sketch’s biggest fans, it was the more “sensitive” and fundy ones that got all up in stitches about it.

I laughed all the way thru “Bruno,” and I think it makes homophobes look like morons. But I would NEVER take my parents or anyone straight over age 50 or 60 to see it!

Loves it…Miss Bedwell is a hoot isn’t she!

@Michael @ LeonardMatlovich.com: here’s another test: raise your hand if you would contribute to a fund to arrange to have the members of Congress attend the Folsom Street Fair before they voted on repealing DOMA, DADT, and whether to pass ENDA and the hate crimes bill.

See how easy it is?

So by that, you must think bruno’s a documentary, aspberger’s baby.

Take off your Special Gay Decoder Glasses and raise your hand if you would contribute to a fund to arrange to have this movie shown immediately to Congress before they voted on repealing DOMA, DADT, and whether to pass ENDA and the hate crimes bill.

I’m not really sure what a gay movie is supposed to be a bunch of dour couples from the suburbs hold hands & advertzing garden mulch? That’s more scary than anything.

The movies were made for general public consumption so it’s a little hypocritical to suggest that we are not generally a lot more sexually versatile. And straights show some S/M bondage etc. We can do some of that . But we don’t have to show everything that we find real but outrageous outselves that goes beyond the pale of general good taste.

I would just like to see some more gay movies that have quality to them ,integrity and humor that is not so over the top as to be the entire show. I takes good writting and filming. “Milk ” would have been far more authentic if, among other things, the sexual atmosphere of the time was shown.
Gay culture has a long way to go again. We were the arbitors of taste at one time. Cheap shots won’t do.

2. “Most gay porno films make it look tame by comparison.” That’s a lie. You underestimate how much porn there is. Extreme fetishism (anything that would match/surpass Bruno) makes up a much smaller percentage of that than you think.

3. Had I been alone, the scene probably wouldn’t have bothered me as much. Sitting next to my mother was more uncomfortable than actually watching it (In case anyone was wondering why I went with her in the first place, I’m seventeen and I still live at home). I’m not a prude, but I guess she is, even though she liked Borat.

4. I’ll have to see the movie again, though, the whole thing this time. The few minutes I saw weren’t particularly funny, a bit contrived really, but there was some hint of humor.

But as for the original question, it’s not a “gay movie,” per se, so Humpday would win by default.

In New Zealand a heterosexual male was convicted of only manslaughter after he killed a gay man. The defense said the gay man propositioned him when in reality there was NO evidence of that at all. The heterosexual jury believed it without question and convicted the murderous heterosexual male to a lesser charge. Even if the gay man did proposition him it is no reason to murder. Cases like this happen all-the-time.

“Well what will they really think of Gays now?”

That’s something to think about. As it’s Satire at it’s best. On the other hand???????????????????

Things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Afterall he is a British actor.

There is no controversy here, not even the slightest pretence of “satire”. This is just a tireless self-promoter who knows there are enough dumb-ass people out there to laugh at his crude, elementary-school antics. As for reviewers who continue to rave on about his “comedian talent”, as far as I am concerned they’re all on the pay anyway.

Uh…sorry, what?

*Instantly abandons this poisonous website*

No you don’t understand satire. This isn’t “satire”–as the so called “vice” being attacked is HOMOSEXUALITY. He is deriding gay people for being gay for LAUGHS.

Eh. I respect myself just fine. It’s just that I get satire. It doesn’t mean I think anyone else is wrong for avoiding it.

I’ll probably go with my Mom, she keeps mentioning it.

You went with your mother? My mother strips during the day, I can’t very well bring her fat ass. But in reality, that’s not a movie I’d go to see with mom…

And no self respecting gay person would go to see this.

…..Huh…I’m at a loss for words…

I have got to see this movie.
