My thoughts, exactly.

Big $$$ Mulan and Tenent tanked; Black Widow (and a whole bunch more) delayed until 2021.

And this movie is going to somehow even get noticed? Sure.

(I’m sure the President of Kazakhstan will be amused as well...again.)

Nope. IIRC, Cohen was initially involved in the Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic, and was the frontrunner to play Mercury. But the band wanted it to tell the story of the band’s initial formation, and culminate with that Live Aid performance in ‘85 (which was incredible). Cohen wanted it to dive into Mercury’s sleazier personal life, the gay parties, all that, and culminate with Mercury contracting AIDS and dying. The band said no thanks, and walked away from the project. It took a few years to get it back off the ground. Cohen has yet to make me laugh even once. He’s an obnoxious boor.

Derail a career? Talk about delusions of grandeur!

I watched part of “Borat”. It’s a testimonial to the basic charity and good manners of the Brits that he didn’t get his @$$ beat a dozen times while filming that dreck.

How Will Ferrell and this guy keep getting gigs is a mystery to me. Neither are funny and they just plain suck.

Trump & Epstein’s “relationship” was when citizen Trump banned Epstein from Mara Largo.

The Brits? It was filmed entirely in the U.S.
