The Brothers Grimsby (2016) D: Leterrier S: Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Strong

This was to have finished shooting last year. But there's been reshoot after reshoot after reshoot and we're still on alert as to more possible reshoots.

He was on Kimmel last night as Borat to intro the new trailer.
I thought it was a bit but it is an actual movie.

Eh, Sasha Baron Cohen can be funny in small doses, not so much in feature length films.

Watched the trailer and it was funny. I like how called Scott Adkins "Ukranian Ben Affleck."


I will be buzzed when I watch it, though.

This comes out today.

I'll probably wait until it comes out on BD, but I just read about this scene on IMDb and am wiping away tears of laughter. The absurdity of it all just kills me, I'm dying here.

Spoiler:
In a prolonged sequence, two men hide from hitmen inside the vagina of an elephant, but as they are about to leave a male elephant comes up and penetrates the female elephant, while the men are still inside her vagina. Inside both men struggle to keep away from the large erect thrusting penis of the male. One man leans out and and tickles the male elephant's testicles so he will achieve orgasm faster. Eventually, as the male elephant ejaculates, one of the men is covered with the elephant's semen. As the men try to escape, a second elephant afterwards comes and you see its penis too inside of the elephant, once again ejaculating on the second man. This is then implied to be repeated many more times. The two men are later seen having a bath together, to wash the elephant sperm off.

Dang, too bad the reviews are so negative--I was looking forward to him basically playing Liam Gallagher for 90 minutes.

I think the Dictator was under 90 minutes too.

I hope he makes Isla laugh because he doesn't anyone else.

Went to this with my college-aged nephew. As he said, "well, that was... something."
It did have some funny bits, but I think I most of my laughter was the uncomfortable kind because I couldn't believe where they went with some of the jokes. Perhaps I just haven't been exposed to enough of Cohen's comedy.

That's probably a good thing.

I will give the first trailer some credit - the kids in the orphanage, being split up, I thought it was some British art house movie for a few seconds.

That sounds unbelievable stupid IMO.

That's because you're old. Go watch Citizen Kane.

I'm old enough to remember when Jim Carrey crawled out of a rhinoceros' ass hole in Ace Ventura 2. We had shitty humor back then too. Nothing's changed. Except possibly the young people of today are stupid enough to find it funny whereas in the past we rejected it as dumb.

We rejected Ace Venture 2 to the tune of $212 million, twice what the original made.

I dislike Citizen Kane too, but for entirely different reasons.

Wow. My recollection is of it having a dismal reception by critics. My friends and I who watched the VHS of the first film on a daily basis didn't even go see it. I've never seen it to this day.

You haven't seen it, yet you have seen it to say what shitty humor it had.

It's Mabuse. I'm pretty sure he simply doesn't like anything.

Also, how does Leterrier keep getting work?
