Homosexuality. Vulgarity. Profanity. Some more homosexuality. Mockery of Christianity. Course jokes. Even more homosexuality. Several drug references. Sex toys. And you guessed it: more homosexuality. Will kids pay to see this at theaters?

If Borat’s success at the box office is any indicator, they will by the millions.

From the mind of Sacha Baron Cohen
The guy who brought us Borat in 2006 is back in theaters this week with another one of his alter egos, Br?no. Theses foul characters are the brainchild (or brain fart, depending on how you look at it) of Sacha Baron Cohen, a British comedian, who rose to fame in 2000 with his comedic Da Ali G Show. His shtick is based on “mockumentaries” where he interviews celebrities and politicians as an outlandish character of his choosing. By far, his two most famous personas were Borat and Br?no, hence the movie deals that have followed.

In spite of being fired for going too far on a Valentine’s Day show in the early 90’s, Cohen’s career has been….

Main Point: If Jesus doesn’t “look like” the Messiah, is He really the Messiah?

The Movie Clip: “Yeah, I’m it.”

Sylvester Stallone was THE action movie star in the 1990’s “no if’s, and’s, or but’s.” Daylight was just one of the movies where ?The Italian Stallion’ rode into town and saved the day. In this film, Kit Latura (Stallone) is a disgraced EMS chief in New York City who happens to be in the right place at the right time to save a bunch of people trapped in a commuter tunnel 100 feet under the Hudson River…with water rushing in!

Introducing the Clip:
Alright, anybody who knows the actor, Sylvester Stallone, knows that he’s famous for saving the day, right? He always captures the bad guy and saves the girl, while blowing something up, just before the credits roll. But in this scene I want to show you from the movie Daylight, even though Stallone’s character is the hero ? and he blows something up ? he gets a less-than-desirable welcome when he shows up to save a bunch of people who are trapped in an underground commuter tunnel during rush hour with water from the Hudson River quickly flooding the tunnel. Let’s take a look at everyone’s reaction.

Scene script:
BEGIN CLIP AT roughly 0 hours 41 minutes and 00 seconds.

You can begin the scene anywhere. I like to start around 41 minutes into the film when they shut down the four fans for Kit. The fans don’t stop immediately because of momentum. Kit slows them down enough to slip through. Then Kit begins maneuvering his way through giant fans to get to the underground tunnel. This intense scene goes on without dialogue, until an explosion rocks Kit and he emerges from the rubble, panting and holding his ear because of the pain, where he finds the trapped people.
