elizium Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Not going to get into spoilers, but I'm enjoying Borat 2 so far. Much more story based then the first one, mostly because he can't walk around as Borat without getting spotted. The girl who plays his daughter is fantastic, just as willing to commit to things as he is, it sometimes looks like he's about to break watching her. How are debutante balls still a thing in 2020?

According to one of the attendees: Quote Our friends had been contacted by a movie company that wanted to film a fictional scene of Southern belles making their debut. The company would pay fathers and daughters $100 apiece, and all we had to do was dress up, dance a little and enjoy free cuisine and drinks at the beautiful antebellum Hay House in downtown Macon.

The only other definite I could guess was Spoiler The Qanon rally My main gripe with the movie is that Borat's disguises were pretty terrible. At least Borat looks like a real person, the rest of the time he was a guy in a clearly fake beard and fat suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that was real, there was a furore about it on reddit when it first happened, he even went back in disguise later as a cameraman and filmed people who were angry. Apart from that there was definitely a lot of actors or paid plants. I don't do well with cringe humour but only had to look away during one scene when the: Spoiler girl 'found' her vagine in the bathroom of the women's meeting and then told them all about it...argh I'm cringing now just replaying it in my head.

Spoiler Yeah, the freedom rally...all these conspiracy groups are blending together in my mind (and they're all blending together in real life too). That's interesting, the guy who introduces him and then asks if he is the singer is comedian Billy Wayne Davis. I'm not familiar with him, but a cursory look at his twitter timeline he does not seem like the kind of guy who would be working a no masks rally. He even re-tweeted the announcement that the movie was already available to watch. I wonder if they filmed there and then did re-shoots of him being introduced because the real MC wouldn't sign a waiver? But they did blur other people out, so why wouldn't they just blur him out?

Dolfan in NYC Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 No need to edit the earlier comments, but here is the thread for Borat 2. Spoilers abound, so you are forewarned. lol Rudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand, he was slightly vindicated in that he was tucking his shirt back in after she removed the mic. On the other, he was clearly tryna fuck (and get her number). Either way, he's a gross toad man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Nice little Usual Suspects homage at the end. I watched it Friday and I feel like I need to rewatch it. One awful thing I noticed was a guy at the rally casually throwing up a Nazi salute. Holy shit that was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
