Albert Brooks vs. Cornholing Studio Dicks
Albert Brooks is god. Albert Brooks is FUCKING Prometheus, only Jewish. Albert Brooks has just completed a movie called Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World .
It’s a fake documentary about a highly sensitive State Department mission Brooks goes on to find out just what it is that makes Muslims laugh. Spit takes? Ventriloquists? He ends up in an unwitting audition for a sit com on Al Jezeera. Gold!
Brooks goes to Pakistan and India, and performs stand-up in front of Muslim audiences and bombs.
I’m not making this up. And I’m so fucking glad that I’m not making this up, you have no idea.
But, being a cool, original, mind fucking good thing, it has been repeatedly cornholed by concerned and sensitive studio executives. No one would distribute the thing, but thankfully Warner Independent Pictures picked it up, so we should be able to see next year.
The vomit/bile-inducing hypocrites in this story (because vomit/bile-inducing hypocrites always make an appearance) are the sensitive artistes over at Sony Pictures, the studio that made the nuance and humanitarian "European Gigolo," –- a film whose sensitive portrayal of a female Chernobyl victim who has a penis instead of a nose earned such positive recognition from the likes of Sting and Oxfam. Of course, Sony can reject any film they want. But they’re still pussy weenuses.

Seeing as Albert Brooks practically invented the fake documentary... Im glad to see him back in his realm.
My password is MM YOC.
Whatever a Yoc is, it must be quite tasty.
Oh Allah, I'd love to see this! I'm laughing just thinking of the premise. In a SONY related item: did you see the post over at HAIRYFISHNUTS about the new SONY Playstation ad? So cool I had to post my own "THE PASSION OF THE PLAYSTATION" post. Anyway, look forward to this Brooks thing. Sure hope it gets through the channels.
