The Bruno Debate Continues

The debate over Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno continues as the movie comes out at #1 in the box office with $30.4 Million over the weekend. CNN claims the gay community is torn over the movie, but if the theater I went to is any indication, the gays are loving it!

I saw the movie this weekend and the showing was at least 70% gay. That was followed by straight frat brothers which made for some awkward moments. But then again, the movie was full of cringe worthy moments. I thought it was hillarious and the intentions of Cohen were obvious but at times the amount of homophobia out there was a little scary to see. Especially in a cage fight scene in rural Arkansas.

That said, if there's one person who can make that sort of thing funny and turn it on it's head, it's Cohen. If you enjoyed Bruno and don't mind an awkward moment here and there, you'll enjoy this movie.

Anyone else see the movie? What did you think?

Proposition 8 Update

While the passage of Proposition 8 was a disappointment to many, there are those who remain committed to fighting it.

All eyes are on the California Supreme Court as the body that can most effectively and quickly put an end to the ban. The main argument opponents of Prop. 8 have is that since it revises the constitution, a two-thirds majority vote in the legislature is required before a popular vote. This will come down to whether the court sees Prop. 8 as an 'amendment' or a 'revision.'

If the court upholds the ban, the only way to overturn it is to put up another ballot initiative down the line seeking to reverse Prop. 8, or take it to Federal Court.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke out about Prop. 8 to CNN, "It's unfortunate, obviously, but it's not the end. I think that we will again maybe undo that, if the court is willing to do that, and then move forward from there and again lead in that area."

And the Hollywood community is also joining the fight against proposition 8. Drew Barrymore, Lance Bass and James Franco are among celebrities who have joined protests.

CNN Gets Futuristic

CNN host Anderson Cooper, aka Silver Fox, interviewed Will.i.am of the Black Eye Peas last night via hologram during an election coverage from CNN’s Election Center. The technology included around 44 high definition cameras that takes a real time, three dimensional image of a person live! 

It reminded me of something from the movie Star Wars. If this is how news coverage will be in the future then I’m loving it!
