Borat is one of the most witty, intelligent, politically incorrect comedies to come out on the big screen for a long time.
It's just not surprising to see that just because it was a huge commercial success, some pseudo-intellectuals can help themselves and slate it. Sad, really.

(or in English, [In the] Realm of the Senses). Not exactly porn, but one of the most contraversial erotic films ever made. Based on a true story. The woman (Sada) did cut his thingy off. She was released from prison about 15 years ago and died last year. Ai no korida has never been released uncut in Japan. (Probably a good thing, really... imagine all these cute ladies literally keeping their meat in the fridge...)

I don’t understand…rented it. It didn’t play so took it back. The guy said it was “smudged” & cleaned it up and it worked fine at the video store. Got it home & it wouldn’t play. Took it back and exchanged it. That one wouldn’t play either, so I gave up on it. So last week my wife purchased it used at a different video store and guess what? It didn’t play. Is their something on it I’m not supposed to watch?
