BRUNO Not that it's too shocking but according to Sharon Waxman over at "The Wrap", Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming film chronicling his random assaults on regular people as flamboyantly gay fashionista Bruno has been given an initial NC-17 rating. According to Waxman, "Among the objectionable scenes is one in which Bruno - a gay Austrian fashionista played by Baron Cohen - appears to have anal sex with a man on camera. In another, the actor goes on a hunting trip and sneaks naked into the tent of one of the fellow hunters, an unsuspecting non-actor." So a guy has butt sex on camera with another guy and suddenly it's NC-17? Pfft! Of course, Cohen has to deliver an R-rated film or Universal won't release it so it's likely cuts will be made to appease the apparent butt sex hating MPAA. Which isn't a total loss because Bruno in all his astoundingly gay glory will likely be unleashed uncensored on DVD at some point. The film is currently slated for release July 10th.

Guys
It;s not NC-17 because he's gay, rather than the fact he has anal sex on screen.....

If HBO can have uber-gay stuff, I don't see why this can't get the R rating. And besides that, aren't all supposed to be tolerant of that now?

I want Sacha to push us as far as possible. I'm tired of stagnant comedies.

Fuck the MPAA. Any moron who uses their biased guide to determine what they want to watch should be sterilized.

NC 17 = No money

The studio (Universal) will make cuts in order for this film to get an R rating.

Whatever it is, if Sacha Baron Cohen is involved it's likely to be pretty unfunny, so I'll pass.

so how did Brokeback get and R? i guess intimate gay anal sex is an R and the goofing off variety of gay anal sex is NC-17.

that makes total sense.

My Opinion
Apart from Sacha's role in the comedy film "Talladega Nights" w/ my man Will Ferrell! Baron Cohen totally turns me off-as does this project.

Why the fuck would anyone want to see that simulated gay anal scene anyway? I know Bruno's gonna probably kick ass, but let's not go overboard.

Not to sound homophobic, I think it's safe to say: gay anal in any movie = a horrible fuckin' movie. I'm a fan of Ali G but Bruno doesn't need that shit.

it's not ACTUAL butt sex
that would be an X rating. It's simulated butt sex - which appears in many movies, maybe just not with two dudes in broad daylight. I'm sure they will cut whatever they need to, an NC-17 means no money.
