As many of you might recall, Michael Jackson died right before Bruno's release, and Universal Pictures decided to cut a scene from the film at the last minute which involved Michael's sister La Toya Jackson, "out of sensitivity to the Jackson family."

Second Edit Of Bruno Set For UK Cinemas
In a rather odd and possibly disappointing move, there is to be a second, censored cut of Sacha Baron Cohen's Brüno released in UK cinemas. Officially it won't be replacing the original version, just running alongside it, but if this new, reduced version turns out to steamroll the first cut in box office terms, I…

Bruno Movie Review
Rather than outline Bruno for you or chew over too many of its finer formal qualities, I want to address the film in a slightly different fashion. When we get to December, Bruno might not still be the best comedy of the year, but I'll eat Werner Herzog's shoe if it isn't the best documentary.…

Gay-Friendly Bruno Reshoots Rumored
According to a new report at The Wrap, Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno was reshot to appease the "Hollywood gay community." Frankly, if this is true, I'm a little disappointed in the filmmakers for bowing to this pressure. Furthermore, I think it reflects very badly on this community if they are incensed by the movie. There's…

Bruno's Meinspace Is "So 2007"
Universal Pictures has released a new viral video for Sacha Baron Cohen's new film Bruno. I'm not quite sure what to think of it. It's more strange and awkward than funny.

Bruno Features A Veritable Band Aid Line Up Of Music Stars
This is odd: a new story in The Mirror seems to be suggesting that Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno is still a work in progress whereas just the other day we were talking about it's submission to, and subsequent controversial certification by, the MPAA. Rather than presuming the entire story is bunkum, I'm thinking that The…

Director's Cut Of Bruno An NC-17, Corporate Censorship Now Inevitable
Let's get one thing clear to begin with: there's nothing wrong with the MPAA giving Bruno an NC-17 rating, but everything wrong with Universal then deciding to cut the film instead of release it intact and also, crucially, with cinema chains (and even adult audiences) turning a cold shoulder to NC-17 rated films. Sharon Waxman…
