Author Topic: Bruno (2009) Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 06-09-2009 10:07 AM                     Had the privilege of seeing a pre-censor version of this.... hilarious! Far better than Borat. Very close to the mark though. I hope they will not go down to a UK15 cert as it will lose some of the more daring (obscene?) elements of the film. It will be a hit in the UK though regardless. 4/5  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-09-2009 10:36 PM                     It has been classified 'R' over here meaning no-one under 18 years of age can see it...period. Universal are appealing the classification. So, it has naughty bits and gets an 'R'...meanwhile SAW movies and their like with grotesque violence continue to be churned out with 'MA' classifications which is like a US 'R'. Crazy.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 06-09-2009 11:02 PM                     Interesting. Your 'R' rating is our NC-17 rating. Universal has resubmitted it for reclassification and got it down to an R rating. As for the UK, it will probably end up with an 18 rating.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-09-2009 11:30 PM                        I can't remember the guy's name who makes these movies, but if Borat was any indication, it probably has tons of penis all over it. He'll do anything for shock value.  |  IP: Logged Julio Roberto Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 938 From: Madrid, Madrid, Spain Registered: Oct 2008 posted 06-10-2009 01:46 AM                    http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/eminem/news/122823-watch-bruno-eminem-at-mtv-movie-awards ...in case anyone missed it [MTV movie awards Sasha/Eminem bit, TV commercial preceeds it]  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-10-2009 03:38 PM                     Can someone please explain to Julio how to do the link title thing? OK, I will...where it says 'title of the web page' that does not mean the entire URL...it means 'what the link actually is' such as: Bruno sticks his bum in Eminem's face.  |  IP: Logged Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 06-10-2009 06:02 PM                     Joe, there's more penis than I would have been thought possible for a cinema release...I believe the version I saw is ten minutes longer than even an 18(UK) release. Forgot to say that the editing is really sharp! |(novelty in this day and age)  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 06-11-2009 07:04 PM                     I thought a film had to be hardcore porn before the BBFC will not give the film an 18?  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 06-16-2009 09:08 PM                     Well it got an '18' here. Bruno will still make big money, just going to be more of a hassle keeping the kids out.  |  IP: Logged Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 06-17-2009 03:44 PM                     Thank goodness for that!

Not sure about that for us anyway, Soon as I saw it had been certified 18 I was wondering whether we would play it. 18's never do well for us. It's not good news.  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 06-18-2009 06:44 PM                     quote: Thank goodness for that!

As do we, it's more that despite both of these plus the other things we do to prevent kids getting in we will still have people trying it and wasting our time during the busiest period of the year.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

The name comes because if you're working there you drop the tickets in a standard issue box.  |  IP: Logged
