Hilarious trailer. I hope the movie is just as good.

Spoiler:
the bit when he kissed his sister had me rolling

I love the bit at the end of the trailer where he insults the guy's wife. Great stuff.

It looks like they actually did most of this this with unsuspecting real people, unlike the scripted Ali G movie.

Big improvement. Should be fun.

I'm amazed they signed off on allowing the footage to be in a movie. Especially that feminist group.

I love the Borat character. I still think that "Throw the Jew Down the Well" bit is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Its showing at the Traverse City Film Festival and includes a Q&A with the director Larry Charles. I'm going tonight.

The scenes with him singing the national anthem at the rodeo were filmed in nearby Salem VA.

Here's the article from the local paper from when it happened:

You are lucky, I tried to get tickets but both shows were already sold out.

Caught a preview screening in NYC. Definitely the funniest movie I've seen in years. I share Jack's concern that some of the funniest stuff may have to be cut in order to score an "R" rating.

That trailer is fantastic! Indahouse was awful, so I'm happy to see he's messing with real people in this one.

I didn't know it was going to be him screwing with real people like the tv show. But hey, that's cool. I must confess there were some cringe worthy moments in that trailer. That shot he takes at the guy's wife....ouch!

If that stuff isn't staged, he's a comedic genius.

He's a comedic genius...he gets into LOTS of trouble because none of it is staged.

This new trailer is gangbusters brilliant. I didn't think the teaser could be topped, but it was.

That bit was sooooo funny! Just the look on that guys face.
For some reason I really loved the shot of the bear in the back of the van.

Wait! When he hits on that "guy's" wife, is the "guy" not Newt Gingrich? It certainly looks a lot like him!

I still love the response from last year when the Khazak government said they would sue him, and he said "I fully support you to sue this jew". Still kills me everytime I read or hear it...

Does anyone have the story from when he did the wine tasting one?
I think he almost got his ass kicked as he was hammered.

This is the video
