NUFS are going to be having our next meeting this Thursday (2nd) at the Cameo at 6pm.We’ll be meeting in the bar as usual and will be seeing a film later at Cineworld at Fountain Park. We should be leaving the Cameo Bar just after 8.00pm to get half decent seats.This week’s film will be Borat at 8.45pm.
Film Description: Borat is the hero of this extraordinary mocu-reality adventure: a film so funny, so breathtakingly offensive, so suicidally discourteous, that strictly speaking it shouldn’t be legal at all. He is the naive provincial TV reporter supposedly from Kazakhstan, though it is clear that this “Kazakhstan” is a joke cardboard country, a post-Soviet neverland picked at random, as cheerfully as Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman, the spin doctors in the political satire Wag The Dog, once picked “Albania” for their diversionary hoax war. Reportedly, Baron Cohen was actually inspired to create Borat by his youthful travels as a student in the then Soviet republic of Georgia. The character coincidentally resembles Alex, the Ukrainian guide with the bizarre mangled English in Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Everything Is Illuminated. Borat is however immeasurably funnier.
As usual, we will try to decide which film to see next week at the meeting, but if you can’t make it on Thursday please do email suggestions to nufs@napier.ac.uk.
If you’d like to be taken off our mailing list, please email me. I’ve noticed that I’m spamming hundreds of you, but only the committed few keep coming back.
