Well I see Sacha Baron Cohen is coming out with another faux documentary.  This time he is doing his character Bruno, a flamboyantly  gay Austrian supermodel, and will again chronicle a journey through America.  Ummm….yah, I guess.  Can’t say I’m all that thrilled, didn’t really get into Borat, so I probably won’t get into  Bruno.  I don’t really consider Cohen funny, he’’s less a comedian and more of a performance artist, like Andy Kaufman was, only without that sly jokes really on you subtext Kaufman exuded.  I wish him luck with his new comedy, but I have my doubts it will score big at the box office.  He is putting it out in July amongst some big hitters like Transformers, Harry Potter, and Public Enemies.  Of course that could just be good counter programming.  Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
