Brüno

I saw Brüno this week. It was as offensive as one might expect, with the bonus of being an appalling presentation of Americans as greedy, baby-exploiting, homophobic idiots. I'm surprised that Sacha Baron Cohen hasn't been hurt doing one of these stunts yet. (Tank Riot wondered the same thing.) At times it was uncomfortable merely to watch, so I can't imagine how horrifically uncomfortable the unknowing rubes he tricked into the scenarios felt.

My advice? Go re-watch The Matrix instead.

David Sedaris parody

A comedy group called Weak Nights did this sketch, answering the age-old question: what if David Sedaris delivered pizza?

It's accurate -- they even got his tone and vocal delivery right. I want to know how the beady-eyed parrot entered the story!

Harry Potter VI Preview

I just got out of a preview showing of the sixth Harry Potter film. I have but a few words.

Spoiler alert: Snape kills Dumbledore.
