Borat, Porn and John Basedow
Last night I saw Borat. Sitting directly in front of me was Michael Moore. When I went to get popcorn before the movie on line ahead of me was Keanu Reeves. I wonder if they went home and told their friends and families -” I saw that guy J-L Cauvin at the movie.” Probably not, but my impression of Keanu Reeves from Devil’s Advocate is so good that I sometimes think I am a bad Canadian actor.
The movie was very funny. But I feel like with my friends who have seen it we were all left feeling like we had given Borat no choice but to be the greatest comedy of all time. That is a heavy burden to bear. I would give it an A-. I would give my drunken imitation of Borat after the movie a D+.
In other news today I received a solicitation for free porn DVDs – sort of like Columbia House, but with abusive stepparents and fake breasts. I have actually been wondering how long this would take. In person I am a charismatic and engaging and attractive to anywhere between 10% and 95% of the female population, depending on how arrogant gin has made me. On paper I am a 27 year old living with his parents. Perhaps if the porn people knew that I was not in need for the cozy comforts that only a money shot can bring they would not have sent it to me, but on paper the probably saw that I live at home, do stand up comedy and went to law school and figured – this guy needs our product. And that is not true.
And if that is not humiliating enough I was invited by Fitness Made Simple’s John Basedow to be his MySpace friend. I of course accepted because I want my fitness made simple. I think I will add him to my top 16 because he has helped dozens of Americans get in better shape.
