Anticipation

Borat is coming. The character and the movie.

Two very funny trailers. Here's the 1st trailer, back in his native Kazakstan, getting the send off. Here's the 2nd trailer, with clips from various parts of his U.S. tour.

The blurb at Apple trailers:
Sacha Baron Cohen - star of HBO'’s hit comedy "Da Ali G Show,"” takes his outrageous Kazakstani reporter character Borat to the big screen. In this hilariously offensive movie, Borat travels from his primitive home in Kazakhstan to the U.S. to make a documentary. On his cross-country road-trip, Borat meets real people in real situations.

The British-born Cohen is out the farthest edge of actually funny comedy, where it meets and trumps reality TV. He's great in Talladegah Nights as well, inspiring El Presidente Bush to read French existentialist writer Albert Camus.

Here's his permanent Borat site. And here's where you'll find his classic performance, "Throw the Jew Down the Well," in among the unsuspecting in a Texas shitkicker bar.

Between Borat and Snakes on a Plane...I smell Oscar showdown!
