REVIEW Tropic Thunder

In a world where Scary Movie , Date Movie and Epic Movie are considered funny... In a world where movie audiences know more and more about film production... In a world where Robert Downey Jnr can do anything he sets his mind to ... Tropic Thunder gets everything right. You see, the problem with the Movie movies is that they think recreation plus exaggeration makes it a funny parody. What Flying High / Airplane and The Naked Gun movies and Spaceballs knew is that you have to also... read more

When I first saw the trailers for Tropic Thunder, I was aghast at how offensive towards Vietnam Vets it looked.  Well, I watched it today, and its pretty damn good, and not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.  It actually has good things to say, like how the "Four Leaf" character is a novel writer fraud.  When I read Band of Brothers , I saw on wikipedia that Stephen Ambrose caught flack for being inaccurate.  "Four Leaf" seems like the same kind of person, although one would think that the...

Tropic Thunder may be the funniest movie I've ever seen -- No, wait -- Spinal Tap -- Okay, second funniest. I cannot believe those sanctimonious shitheads at the New York Times gave it a bad review. No wonder nobody reads newspapers anymore.

I've never gone anywhere for Black Friday.  Never saw any need for it.  I decided today to give it a shot and I drove to Best Buy as soon as I woke up...at 10:00.  I saw an ad for Transformers for ten bucks on bluray.  Forgive me for being entertained, and yes, I believe those robots can have emotions, they weren't programmed by people. Parking wasn't that bad, though it was crowded in there, and they still had two copies left.  So, score, I guess.  I didn't buy anything else.  I am a little...
