When I went to see Borat a few weeks ago I was underwhelmed. I love the character and his wonderfully zany impolitic viewpoint. (With in-laws from the south, it would have been nice had he not picked on that region so, but that’s life. What’s the word for a northern red neck?)
So why was I underwhelmed? YouTube. So many of the fun bits had appeared on video sharing and media sites that most if the movie wasn’t first run for me. If movie studios keep letting this over-saturation happen it will hurt their numbers at the box office. Trust me.
Movie studios need to let content out in drips, not open the faucets.
