Borat Subsequent Movie Film

Calling Pence a pussy hound, LOL.

I fell asleep and woke up to the infamous Giuliani interview scene.


Giuliani talked about the encounter back in July, telling the NY Post of the moment when Baron Cohen interrupted them:“This guy comes running in, wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit. It was a pink bikini, with lace, underneath a translucent mesh top, it looked absurd. He had the beard, bare legs, and wasn’t what I would call distractingly attractive. This person comes in yelling and screaming, and I thought this must be a scam or a shake-down, so I reported it to the police. He then ran away. I only later realized it must have been Sacha Baron Cohen. I thought about all the people he previously fooled and I felt good about myself because he didn’t get me.”


Sure, Rudy. I wonder what the feeble, disgusting troll considers a “got” then?

Dross.



Whatever Plex is, it has Straight To Hell currently available in its movie library.

The ex-wife/executive producer manages again to mention her threesome(s) with Warren Beatty as if putting it in a book wasn’t enough.

SPOILER

The most interesting thing about this is the very small amount of ashes she spreads in the ocean of Hana, Hawaii.
Just makes you wonder if they did the whole you get a % with all the ex-wives or children. It seems very fake, planned and self serving. The lack of additional family around is odd to say the least.

There are a few rare clips, but any fan will already be familiar with the majority of content.

Just kinda seems like the ex wanted to be on camera spreading 1/10th of his ashes.

Striking lack of familial or high level comedic involvement with the project.

Rewatched Stigmata yesterday. Good show

Maybe Mommie Dearest.



Faye Dunaway was wonderful as a soulless void in Network but stunk up the screen in Barfly.
Regretting chewing up the furniture’s furniture in Mommie Dearest is crazy.
That’s like regretting Beyond the Valley of the Dolls or some shit.

Last night The Dig, Netflix movie about the Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon excavation.

Set in Suffolk, just as the Second World War was breaking. We lived for work reasons in Suffolk for about 6 years in the late 80s/early 90s, in a village miles from whatever passed for civilisation in those days. Ralph Fiennes in the movie sounds exactly like most of the local village men did, he's got the accent right. Though there was also a sort of "deep Suffolk" accent that was basically totally indecipherable, as spoken by the bloke who lived next door to us, who was apparently friendly enough, but from the day we arrived till the day we left we never understood a word he said. Used to have to stand by the garden fence and nod or grunt in reply.

Nice movie for a winter evening in lockdown when you're feeling in need of something gentle. And I used to be something of an Anglo-Saxon nerd anyway. Did a paper on it at college. Though back then it was, as the girls tend to point out, much closer to the Anglo-Saxon times.

I was reading a thing about this last week, where they filmed the whole thing in reverse (not the actual cameras, but the order of the scenes) so that they didn't have to build the ship, fill in the thing, and then meticulously dig it up again. Instead they just did an excavation in reverse.

I stopped reading before I found out if they cleaned up their mess, or if they left it behind for future archaeologists to be confused by. Movies have a long history of leaving their sets and props behind (see "Cleopatra" in California and "Star Wars" in Tunisia as two examples).

In non-pandemic times it's possible to visit the site. It's owned by the National Trust now, and a while ago (maybe a year or two, like many things these days I can't quite remember) they opened a new exhibition and visitor centre. It's on our list of places to visit when such things become possible again.

Surely they didn't fill in the site so they could film. That would be madness!

Well, a lot of the movie was shot in Suffolk, around where the real Sutton Hoo site is located. But for the actual digging bits, apparently they recreated the burial site somewhere in Surrey, which apart from beginning with the same two letters, is an entirely different county.

Weirdly, I've lived in both counties. Not at the same time.
