Tropic Thunder

[Bond]

Actually the 22nd.

 

[Bunker]

Actually the 22nd.

He said people only cared AFTER he died, so I just picked the 23rd.

Oh well., you get my drift.

 

[Bond]

Ohh. I gotcha, I gotcha.

 

[Kanon]

I was gonna say that in a fair world, the oscar should go to RDJ... but in a fair world, Ledger would be still alive, so what the hell... Ledger delivered an Oscar worthy performance, not for the first time, but sadly his last one. Give him the award. But gave me RDJ nominated, goddamit!

In a fair world Heath wins this round and RDJ wins for Tropic Thunder 2!

Back on topic. While I agree Downey Jr. was fantastic in this movie, and I also love that people got the role, there's no chance in hell of him being nominated.

If Ledger is nominated I don't want him to win. He would just be winning because he is dead. The role doesn't need an award to prove how great it is.

aside from all the crybaby groups....the studio was forced to put some ******** PSA on the Tropic Thunder dvd because of that whole mess....they went 'Full ******'

 

[TheVileOne]

Lantern, I was more referring to people not complaining about Robert Downey Jr. wearing blackface.

The full ****** thing was an extreme minority, and most people got the joke. Only a couple idiots complained about it.

I know, I got my "offended people" reference crossed up....Downey committed to it.....one of the best DVD commentaries I've ever heard...it almost makes up for 'Iron Man' having NO commentary...almost

I saw that on the dvd and thought that was kinda weird that they did.

 

[BlackLantern]

It was an olive branch, I get it....that Hollywood machine at its finest....

Haven't got around to listening to it....what's on the commentary?

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Don't wanna burn too many bridges or piss too many people off.

RDJ as a few of the characters in the movie. He plays himself, Kurt and Lincon.

 

[BlackLantern]

Haven't got around to listening to it....what's on the commentary?

there are 2 commentaries...one is with Stiller, one of the writers and a co-producer...the other commentary is Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Downey, Jr. in character as Lincoln Osiris(until the moment he removes the makeup), Kirk Lazarus, and then himself for the last couple minutes...

I'll be sure to check that out

 

[Ugfugly]

I rented this a bit cautiously but did not leave disappointed. This was a truly hilarious movie and one of the best commentaries ever! DEfinitely on my purchase list and Downey has just skyrocketed to my top 5 fave actors of all time for this.

 

[Superark]

I wasn't sure what I was going to expect of this movie before I saw it. I figured it would be either very dumb or very funny.

Well after just watching it for the first time I have to say that it was a pretty funny movie.

I found the first 30 mins of the movie to be fairly boring and not all that funny, which started to make me worried that the rest of the film would suck. But as soon as they were left alone in the jungle, it was non-stop laughs.

RDJ was great! I loved his whole "don't go full ******" monologue. Classic!

But as much as everyone mentions RDJ, I have to say that Nick Nolte and Matthew McConaughey stole this movie for me. I thought every scene they were in was a trip. Nolte's story was a a nice twist. Loved that MM was the agent who would do anything for Stiller's character.

Tom Cruise was very good as well, although not a funny as I expected, but good regardless.

The rest of the cast was fine and did their part well. Jack Black was annoying at times but not too bad.

Overall good movie.

 

[dark_b]

i am just a little sad that Owen was not in there .but we all know what happened. he was going to be Stillers agent.

 

[hammerhedd11]

Exactly! I'm glad you brought it up. Someone who thinks and isn't all fanboy about something.

Its like nobody gave a care before his death, Its just insane how these people act.

Oh please.
Where the hell were you? People were raving and excited about his performance long before he passed.

 

[LostSon88]

I know right. God forbid he was actually nominated because of his performance.

No, no no...it's because he died.

 

[Leenie]

My brother gave me the DVD for Christmas, so I watched it for the very first time recently.

This movie surpassed any expectations I had. It's a really funny and clever movie! I loved every minute of it.

And yes, Robert Downey Jr. deserves an effin' nomination for this movie. He deserves an Oscar just as much as Heath Ledger does. You heard me.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I finally got around to seeing this last night and loved it. RDJ's performance is genius and Tom Cruise stole the show for me. Although many ragged on Stiller I found him at his best in a long time here and I also thought Jay Baruchel was terrific despite being practically ignored in most reviews.

Special mentions for the small but entertaining performances from Bill Hader and Matthew McConaughey, plus Nick Nolte was having some scene chewing fun.

One thing that did surprise me was what a good action director Stiller is. Here's hoping we get a spin off for Les Grossman!

8/10

 

[Prison Mike]

after reading people talking about the commentary, I really want to hear it. But I left the dvd at home and it's not with me at college. I'll get it back during spring break though.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The commentary is excellent and is funny as hell.

Great avvy HR!
