Holy crap.

J-Mac scored us tickets to see the premier of Borat yesterday. I really thought it'd be played out by the time it hit the theaters, but seriously.. it was fresh and entertaining. Easily one of the funniest flicks I've seen in years.

Offensive and inappropriate most of the time, but the true genius of the film is how it highlights hypocrisy in our own culture here in the states. On one extreme, we've become so p.c. and accepting of different diversities, that we fail to see how out of touch we are. On the other, we're filled with prejudice, ignorance, and hate. Borat illustrates both in a brilliant display of comedy.

If you're not open minded, or easily grossed out by obese naked people, you may want to pass. If you're up for laughing not just at others, but yourself, then I highly recommend this very nice movie film. Just be careful eating candy while laughing, I had a sour patch kid induced asthma attack during the "fight" scene at the hotel. ;)

Opens tomorrow. :)

So.. Gavin and I saw a commercial a couple days ago for Vongo.com -- a new movie service that lets you stream movies for $9.99. Basically, it's my dream come true. If I could do it from my tivo, I'd pay probably three times that.

But I wasn't without questions. I travel a lot, and since I travel a lot, a lot of my dvd watching takes place on planes. Can vongo fill this need?

Eric Becker from Vongo responded via a blog comment yesterday. Here's the kicker though, I never actually asked the question, and was completely shocked to see someone answer a question I never got around to asking. Huh.

Turns out, Gavin did over at HowSo, but HowSo doesn't support comments. At least, thats what we think happened. The point is, Vongo's got mad service -- that's how you pander to bloggers, listen to what's being said, and answer questions timely. Too bad OS/X users are currently locked out... but..

Either way, I'll anxiously be waiting for mac support.. From what I saw on Gavin's laptop, the site looks incredible (he runs a pc, like the rest of the unclean.)
