Tropic Thunder - Page 4

Robert Downey Jr. in blackface could singlehandedly save this movie. If by some miracle he gets more screen time than Ben Stiller and Jack Black we MIGHT be saved ... I am sure that is not the case though.

Friend saw a screener, said it was awesome. I think it looks pretty epic.

The retards are getting restless:

Disability advocacy groups to protest Tropic Thunder premiere

Astrocreep · 08-11-2008, 11:51 AM

those kinds of things are usually studio generated to create buzz for a film. not a good sign

Malakriss · 08-11-2008, 11:54 AM

Wait... they are protesting that Ben Stiller (or his character, can't figure out which) is repeatedly called a retard in this movie?

But I'm betting they had absolutely no problem with Zoolander, we're just not allowed to use the word 'retard' anywhere in this galaxy

Castigator · 08-11-2008, 12:36 PM

Rain of Madness hasn't been posted yet? Hmm.. anyways.. worth a second post in any case

Castigator · 08-11-2008, 12:44 PM

Also, viral marketing!

In this one he's actually trying to play a retard in the movie though, they were talking about in on the radio this morning. I guess it's only offensive if the person is "actually" retarded, whereas if they are just really stupid it's okay!

Yah they need to understand it's OK to be retarded. Just don't expect to be treated like a normal person. I mean like DUH!

Kasi · 08-12-2008, 12:51 PM

I am really looking forward to this film. Then again I do love Downey Jr. Great actor.

Flirting With Disaster Madagascar There's Something About Mary School for Scoundrels

This is a great example of writing good comedy. It's hilarious plus its actually true. Plus it kinda tells you what people were complaining about in those pictures. Also I can not think of any actor other than Downey who could have pulled the part off like he did. With anyone else it wouldn't have worked.

Holy shit that was funny. "Never go full retard."

Hatorade · 08-12-2008, 05:56 PM

haha that was indeed funny.

Wow, a 'stupid' comedy with 78% on RT the night before release, with 93% from the top critics.
