Borat Dvd Disc Views
DVD Review: It sure would have been nice to get a DVD jam-packed with special features, but it’s hard to expect much more material than what is already included from a film that was more or less improvised. Because of this, there are really no production featurettes to speak of. Instead, fans are treated to a solid 28-minutes of deleted scenes (including Borat at the supermarket, getting massage, working at a fast food joint, and starring in a Kazakh TV version of “Baywatch” translated to “SexyDrownWatch”), as well as a 16-minute montage of the film’s press blitz (“Global Propaganda Tour”), from appearances on the film circuit to interviews with Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno. An audio commentary with Cohen (or better yet, in character as Borat) would have been a nice touch, but it wasn’t at all necessary. All in all, this isn’t a bad single-disc effort, but it’s hard to believe that a double-disc special edition isn’t already in the works.
I was only commenting on the COVER ART of the Borat CD and not the contents which I had not looked at when I wrote the previous post.It's not that hard to see that the DVD itself is a joke purposely meant to appear as bootleg, i.e. Is Life? No. Demorez with an paper insert about other movie discs available from usaa .The cover art being in Russian though, isn't consistent with Cohen's humor so far in the show where Russian/Cyrillic LETTERS were used, but meant absolutely nothing in Russian or any other language using the Cyrillic alphabet(The Cover Spelling is Boyadt , not Borat in Russian).The cover itself is in normal Russian and is more annoying than anything else. Especially given that, according to the poster who rented a copy with normal English cover art, the movie seems available with normal cover art.
