Platoon x Airplane + Rambo – Chris Burke = Tropic Thunder
I did the math and caught the new comedy by BEN STILLER called ‘Tropic Thunder’. It was so wrong it was all right. Fuck the incredible performance by ROBERT DOWNEY Jr. wearing blackface. BEN STILLER also performed in whiteface. What’s the name for the makeup that traditional Chinese theatre performers use? The best acting was put in by TOM CRUISE performing in fatface. Imagine the dance scene from ‘Risky Business’ times 10.
This movie is so retarded I can’t even think of where to begin. Fuck it, I will start at the beginning. ‘Tropic Thunder’ makes you realize how much of the entertainment we filter through our eyes is just inane rubbish. It gives you this message with pointed un-intentions. There is nothing serious about this film. From the front to the back it is simply a tour de farce. Props to BEN STILLER for proving he can hang with the ADAM McKAYs and the JUDD APATOWs.
I’ve been on a BEN STILLER kick lately too. Maybe I was subconsciously prepping for this film. There’s something about Mary is my shit. I can watch that joint at least once a month. I know STILLER didn’t write that flick but he pwns the character. Did any of you see the film ‘Flirting With Disaster’? That shit was heeeelarious. If anyone wants my VHS tape for either of these holler back. STILLER kills in both of those movies.
‘Tropic Thunder’ is one of those films like ‘Friday’ that you have to keep a copy of just for when your ass needs to take that “sick” day (read: smoke weed and walk around in your drawls) off from work. But if you put some fuckin’ pants on I will come over with the weed.
this movie was shit ur pants funny
I am gonna try to catch “Tropic”.
THe best Stiler movies were: Something about Mary, Meet the Parents 1 and 2, and the one (I forget the name) where he took his date to a donkey show in Mexico…(was that Flirting With Disaster?)
I would like to borrow a copy of Flirting with Disaster. I have a new mailing address. I will send it to you via email.
I’m trying to watch Tropic Thunder this week, but my lady acting funny. Oh well . . . I’m watching it solo!!
I’m at the movies this weekend with the wife to catch this one. Stiller is in this older movie where he is trying to get some fat kids in shape at this summer camp. He plays a character similar to the one in Dodgeball. Can’t think of the name of that movie, but that movie will have you on the floor laughing.
The movie with him at he camp is Heavy Weights. It features a young Kenan Thompson also. Tropic Thunder is funny as hell but I liked Pineapple Express more.
i saw it this past weekend. it was alright. i dont think it is on the same level as FRIDAY. FRIDAY had quotables, memorable scenes and characters. TT? not so much.
i DID like the scene when DOWNEY talks to STILLER about “acting retarded/ getting the oscar” scene.
