Bridget Jones’s Diary, Part III

I’ve been anxiously awaiting news of a new Bridget Jones’s Diary novel, so every so often I’ll do a Google search.  Today: jackpot!  Apparently Helen Fielding will be flashing forward ten years for the next book, and Bridget will be a mom!

Note to Ms. Fielding: If DANIEL CLEAVER is the damn father, or worse, if Bridget and Mark do not END UP TOGETHER, I will punch someone in the FACE.

Anyway, supposedly they’re already planning the third movie as well.  I hope it’ll be better than Edge of Reason; that movie sucked hardcore.

Gypsy, I am here for your tears

Borat was awesome, but you don’t need me to tell you that, because I’m sure everyone else is. But I will pass on an amusing link — it’s hilarious how the media is all of a sudden acting like Sacha Baron Cohen’s this total media recluse, like, “who’s the man behind the legend?” If they’d been paying attention the last three years, they’d know that Baron Cohen usually does interviews as himself, and this whole Borat 24/7 thing is just another publicity stunt for the movie.

Anyway, I was amazed at how well the movie turned out. They found a good narrative to tie the story together, and the schtick never got old to me. I guess this makes Baron Cohen the new king of comedy, when you consider that he also had a huge role in Talledega Nights.
