Entertainers

Happy news about the sequel of Borat reached me when I had finally managed to see the first film. I didn’t want to, really, but it happened.

In short, I do not like it: I find film insulting not to non-existing as they are shown Kazakhs, but first and foremost to Americans who were cynically used for this simple entertainment. As so many praise such humour, and awards pour onto Sacha Baron Cohen, maybe I am just an outdated jerk not understanding the modern art? Or there is some blind powerful force that supports happy Borat on his way, no matter what ugly things he is doing, running naked in a hotel or deforming the National Anthem?

The film reminded me another ‘joyful’ movie, Jackass, which I attended out of naïve ignorance and left in the middle of the performance. Yes, that one is even worse, without any sensible plot, but the style and level of jokes are quite similar.

Of course, I should compare the charts of the guys, Cohen and creator of Jackass Jeff Tremaine - to check by Mercury what my Moon had felt.

Similar people manage to get similar charts even if they were born on completely dissimilar dates. For that kind of talent, both got Jupiter in opposition with retro-Saturn, what a confirmation of Cardano’s wisdom once again: even an Oxford degree cannot change such a constellation. Both got Mars in Aquarius (to shock my poor Moon) and filled Libra and Sagittarius.

Mr Jackass has Jupiter close to Arcturus - otherwise he would die many times, with his extreme experimental fun. But Mr Borat is far luckier, as he has Mercury (multiplicity) on Spica – this is that blind power giving awards and appraisal. Favouring no matter what!
