| 2 AM!?

Is that Manhattan Beach time or something??? My clock said around midnight when I posted the results of the game last night....

I'm open to getting in another game tonight, if Rude or Eric finish their match before that.

Saw Bruno yesterday. I didn't laugh as much as in Borat but it was still pretty damn funny. These movies have two elements. First they have the obviously fictional bits which are about the character's life and backstory (Bruno's life in Austria, Borat's life in Kazakhstan). Second there are the parts which feature interactions between Cohen and unwitting members of the populace. In Borat both elements were really solid, all the faked Kazakhstan crap like the anti-Jew nonsense and Borat's village were witty. In Bruno the stuff about his life was sort of weak.

However star of the show, the interaction parts, are about as funny in Bruno as they were in Borat, and in many ways are even more outrageous and crazy. Fortunately that's what the movie is more and more about as it goes on, culminating in the world's gayest cage fight in front of a bunch of absolutely shocked and stunned redneck homophobes.

Long story short, starts out a little weak but gets better and better as it goes along!
