4 Days 'Til Conan

Borat on Late Night With Conan O'Brien
by DasReich

What may go unnoticed when looking back at Conan O'Brien's run on Late Night is his remrkable rapport with his guests. He can still manage to get the best answers out of his guests and he can, at times, be as funny as he wants and as serious as he wants. There are also times when being the serious, cordial interviewer that he becomes responsible for what kind of answers are presented in his forum. The vid with Conan and Borat is something of remarkable.

He knows he's interviewing the man who's disguised as a Kazakh journalist but he humors him. And he humors him to the point where the proposition of touching each other's penii arise. Conan's one brave ginger.

Brüno Trailer Ünearthed...Ürethra...Ümbrella...

This week has been unforgivenly slow on Ze Cooter. I'm sick today. Liquids are coming out of orifices I've never knew I had. Too much?

How come it's the journalists that cause the greatest havoc?

No confused Kazakh journalists here. No uneducated English hip-hopper either. Sacha Baron Cohen is set to introduce the world to Brüno, the documentary-comedy featuring Cohen's third alter ego -- a gay fashion journalist from Europe. It looks like we're getting the same "fish-out-of-water" concept with Brüno where he attempts to embarrass unsuspecting people while in the guise of a writer learning about the cultures of America. But expect the results to be cringingly funny.

The SNSFW trailer features a swingers party, dildo self-defense, and what could be the most racially-charged act of cinema since Birth of a Nation. (That's right, I made a historical film reference. You forgot that I'm a film geek. You know, I'm a geek about everything. It's not your fault that you're two or three rungs under me on the ladder of awesomeness.)
