Re: "Borat" Dinner Party Lawsuit

I suppose they should also sue Robert Zemeckis for his portrayal of Alabamians being racist in Forrest Gump!

Honestly, having seen the movie, how Borat acted would have creeped me out regardless of his nationality... How would you have reacted to his behavior? Bringing a ***** to dinner would not be appropriate...

Re: "Borat" Dinner Party Lawsuit

How did a movie manage to be released without the permission of all those appearing in it?
If they did agree, they can't complain now just because it was more successful than they imagined.
If they didn't agree, then it flags up many legal issues. And casts 20th C. Fox in a very bad light.
