Tropic Thunder

[BlackLantern]

I'm sure it will make it up over the weekend.....it did release on a Wednesday after all....this strikes me as one of those movies that will probably make just as much on DVD as it does in the theater

 

[GhostPoet]

I didn't really like Pinapple Express all that much...

 

[CrypticOne]

I saw this last night, very good film. Kept me laughing. You should definitely check it out. Very good performances by all actors, Jack Black is crazy, man!

9/10

if they have a directors cut of this film it's probably going to offend 60% of people, but it'd be awesome.

South Park offends 90% of people and interest groups aren't in the news b****ing about them all the time.

 

[TheVileOne]

There's nothing really offensive about this movie. I don't think it was trying to be offensive at all.

If you can't enjoy movies or look into the plot jokes/nuances...then yes...it is offensive to the mentally handicapped. It is just stupid that interest groups create a stir to get media attention for their cause which is rather pathetic for such a noble cause.

best line for me was
"Im like a little kid that plays with his dick when hes nervous"
or something like that....made me crack up

No, it wasn't offensive at all. The point was that Stiller's character performed a pitifully offensive portrayal of a mentally challenged person and his career suffered because he didn't bring anything right to it. Downey's speech was crass...but it's an R-rated film and the mentally challenged were certainly not the only people called names throughout the film.

I saw the movie tonight...I thought it dragged a little in the middle, but the rest of it was so hilarious that I really enjoyed it.

 

[BlackLantern]

what Stiller was doing, IMO, was making fun of the actors who take those roles for critical acclaim.....

It was--and the joke was that he did a terrible job. No one in the movie made fun of handicapped people, they were making fun of him and his performance.

 

[BlackLantern]

Is it wrong for some of us to want a "Full ******" t-shirt....?

 

[Spider-Fan]

I agree with you guys. What they did in the movie was not meant to be offensive. It was meant (like Kirk's character entirely) to poke fun at academy actors who do those movies for acclaim.

And I am not gonna lie, I want that shirt too BlackLantern t:

I laughed when they said it in the movie...

 

[boydston_14]

I absolutely loved this movie. So much funnier than Pineapple Express. 9.5 out of 10

 

[Mr. Credible]

i really need to see this movie. no one i know wants to see it, though... i think that means i need to make new friends.

Huh,what do you mean you people?













































I mean you guys.























Just kidding. t:

 

[TheVileOne]

I don't think the movie's derogatory towards ******ed people at all. Stiller was making a statement on Hollywood actors who try to legitimize themselves by portraying the mentally handicapped. And like the other poster above said, it was a parody of an offensive portrayal.

And Lazarus's speech was 100% accurate, like it or not. It's the freaking truth.

If people are offended it might be because they don't want to admit to their own inner prejudices. They are guilt-tripping over it.

If it's wrong I don't wanna be right.

 

[The Chairman]

Saw it tonight with a bunch of friends, and I absolutely ****ing loved it! I thought it was a brilliant satire, and the performances were top notched. If Ledger gets shafted by the Academy, I'd totally say give the Award to Downey. What he did could have either been a complete disaster or a work of brilliance, and thankfully it was a latter.

And Cruise was hilarious.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Just got back, I thought it was hilarious. RDJ was amazing as usual. The guy could honestly get some award recognition (Golden Globe). The guy portrayed the crazy method actor to perfection. I think I also heard him use three different voices in the film, all sounded great. RDJ was probably my favorite part, but those Cruise scenes were hilarious, guy really brought it......loved that dance he does

I'll definitely be seeing this again.

 

[DACrowe]

Wow. that was a ****ing hilarious movie. There is nothing offensive in this to any particular group or person at all unless you're Tom Rothman/Harvey Weinstein/some-sorta studio executive or Russell Crowe.

Otherwise just sheer comedic brilliance and a joy to watch. Ben Stiller for a guy who usually plays affable losers is a very cynical person if you look at the films he writes/directs. Even Zoolander had a mean satirical edge to it. And this, even moreso than Cable Guy, is a full frontal sardonic assault on pop culture and the Hollywood movie industry.

And I loved every minute of it. Downey Jr. was quite frankly immersively funny and believable in his conflicted character-actor send-up. I loved everything from the fake trailers (Tobey Maguire was gold with the "MTV Movie Award Winner for Best Kiss" and I loved the trailer for Scorcher "Can't believe this is happening again, again.") to the end.

But Tom Cruise stole the show. You may hate the man in real life but in this movie he is hysterical. Especially when he curses out and intidimates drug lords on the phone. He is so full-of-it and obnoxious.

My favorite lines:

"You never go full ******...ask Sean Penn from 2001 in I Am Sam and he went home empty handed."

-"Whose the Key Grip? I want you to hit that ******* in the head!"

-"400 years that word has divded and demeaned us..."

-"Well weep in the press."

but most of all

-"Lead farm, mother ****er."

I also loved so many scenes like the end with the boy and the knife and the whole director's head bit. All were great.
