I like Borat better the first time, when he was going by "Yakov Smirnof." I think all of the legal problems will probably nix any chance of Borat 2.

My thoughts exactly Sgrizzle. I always wondered why Smirnof was never referenced as a prelude to Borat. I suppose many find it funny, but I've not been in a hurry to see the movie. It's just a cheap use of stereotypes to get some laughs (IMO).

Yes, I was a Steve McQueen fan until I found out what a rotten person he was. I still like the movies.

The only movie I've liked recently was Last Holiday with Queen Latifah.

But how could you be my age and not have American Graffiti as your favorite movie of all time?
