Tropic Thunder

[The Apatow Crew]

i have a friend who has been on slippery slope recommending movies that are absolutely terrible lately...i decided to give him one more chance...he blew it with telling me to check out heartbreak kid....in his words..."hilarious...you have to rent it..." it was garbage...pure garbage.

Thats why i never listen to anyone including my family. they liked Larry the cable guy heath inspector,Date movie,Norbit and Big Momma's House 2.

I dont know why, but for some reason, my favourite scene from the red band trailer is the part where RDJ says "That mans a national treasure". It made me laugh so hard when I first saw it.

Anyone read the GQ interview with Downey? He talks about one scene between his and Stillers character:

Spoiler

Stiller plays action-film star Tugg Speedman, who has just bombed in a period drama as Simple Jack, a ******ed man living in the 1920s. Still aching from the critical drubbing he received for making the worst movie ever, Speedman brings up the subject with Downey’s Lazarus, who knows a thing or two about the movie business but will only respond in the voice of a combat-hardened African-American sergeant.

“Oh yeah, you really swung for the fences on that. You went all out,” Downey says, his voice dropping and this full-bodied, scratchy baritone burbling out.
“So Ben’s character says to me,” Downey continues, now mimicking Stiller’s slightly higher-pitched, softer tone, “ ‘When I was playing Jack, I almost had to learn what it was like to not be ******ed, because I became so ******ed. I had to eat ******ed, sleep ******ed.’ ”

“Yeah! For a minute, it’s like you was the dumbest mother****er ever lived.”

“Thanks,” Stiller’s character says.

“Hats off for goin’ there. Specially knowin’ how the Academy is about that ****.”

Now impish again, he lets his shoulders drop, jaw sag, imitating Stiller. “The what?”

“Well, everyone knows you don’t go full ******. Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man. Look ******ed, act ******ed, not ******ed. He can count eight decks of cards. Slow, yes. ******ed, no. Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump. Slow, yes. ******ed, maybe. Got them braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants offa Nixon and won a Ping-Pong competition. Can’t win ****in’ Ping-Pong being ******ed. Then we got the master, Peter Sellers in Being There. Infantile, yes. ******ed, no. Man, you went full ******.” Downey glares at me, whispering in his Osirus voice, “Never go full ******.” He cracks himself up, pauses, gets it back, and says, “You don’t believe me, ask Sean Penn. 2001. I Am Sam. Went full ******. Went home with nothin’.”

The voice is another self, out of the box, fully formed. And you can see it coming through his eyes, the way it does for a great actor, and then on top of that there is this dark sense of humor and knowing how to connect to it

When I talked to Ben Stiller, he told me, “I think honestly, this sounds cheesy, but he really is a genius as an actor. You can’t quantify that. You talk about his process, but there’s something else there that you watch and go, Oh, wow. You can’t learn that or teach that. It’s crazy. He’s channeling something.”

I don't get the interview, is that a scene in the movie he was reenacting?

 

[Gotham]

Hilarious.

 

[The_Vision]

This will be pure gold!

 

[Raiden]

That Tropic Thunder viral skit on MTV Movie Award is probably the funniest thing in this entire "award" show.

 

[chaseter]

^Yes it was and they seem to have great chemisty which gives me extremely high hopes for this movie!

 

[Killer Clown]

[Rocker22]

The new commercial during the awards was great to.

 

[turtlefocker]

[RedIsNotBlue]

HAHAHA. The MTV awards suck but that first video was great.

 

[fu manchu]

i want to get that poster shown in the "viral video".

 

[Shifty]

Thats why i never listen to anyone including my family. they liked Larry the cable guy heath inspector,Date movie,Norbit and Big Momma's House 2.

Maybe you were adopted.

Only reason I Tivoed/watched the Awards was to see the Viral Video. Mike Myers should retire from comedy. Liked the reference to RDJ's dark past, didn't think that would be brought up.

But it was pretty much synergy in the sketch. Iron Man, King Fu Panda and Tropic Thunder are from either from Paramount Pictures or Dreamworks and it aired on MTV. All three are owned by Viacom.

 

[Darkfly]

Mike Myers was funny in the Wayne World bit at the MTV awards, Wayne's World 3 please. So funny when Downey beat Black up & the whole Iron Man rules till TDK comes out line was fantastic.

 

[LostSon88]

Mike Myers was funny in the Wayne World bit at the MTV awards, Wayne's World 3 please. So funny when Downey beat Black up & the whole Iron Man rules till TDK comes out line was fantastic.
