That preview was fucking hilarious i need to see this. Also, Im pretty sick of Stiller bashing. He may have made some stinkers, but I think all in all he has shown himself to have some real comedy chops. Yeah he usually plays somewhat simlar roles, but who doesn't?

I can't ignore the fact that he was awesome in Theres Something about Mary, Zoolander, Dodgeball, Flirting with Disaster, Meet the Parents (and some good cameo roles here and there), and from I've seen so far hes pretty funny in Tropic Thunder.

Don't forget as I bet some people will not even realize but Stiller directed and was an exec producer of this movie WHILE playing the lead role. Downey doesn't play similar roles. He may play characters with similar problems to his own which is why some casting directors might see him as ideal for a said role. I think Stiller and everyone involved did a great job on this one. I want to see those 3 trailers made into real movies. I think they would sell now after TT.

I didn't realize he produced and directed this movie. Good to know. Not sure who said that Downey played "similar roles".

But yeah, I forgot about Stiller directing Cable Guy. I don't care what people say, that was a hilarious movie.

Ben Stiller can be really funny. I think he's best when he has creative control or works with similar sensibilities. He was hilarious in the first episode of Extras.

I kinda liked this movie but I think I have watch it a few more times to appreciate it. I didn't like Zoolander after the first viewing. The only thing that pissed me off in this movie is that no one spoke Vietnamese. I mean how hard is it to find some Vietnamese actors? It really irritated me. I mean even in Mean Girls they managed to find two Vietnamese bitches so how can they spend that much money in making a war movie and they can't even get the right people to speak the right language?!?!?!?!

If they're in the Golden Triangle, they could be in Burma, Thailand, Viet Nam, China or Laos. I'm guessing it's very difficult to tell which part they're intended to be in, because the movie was shot in Hawaii, which has completely different flora and atmosphere then you have in that area. Laotians speak Lao.

08-18-2008, 07:40 AM
Yeah, they only said they were in the Golden Triangle. But are you really getting hung up on the LANGUAGE that made-up drug dealers were speaking in a comedy? Really?

Maybe they're making fun of the fact that a majority of the time war movies make the same mistake and don't hire proper actors from the regions with the dialect they're suppose to be portraying. Either way, Tiny Ant Man was still balls.

Wow. I can't believe how many people liked this movie. I bought into the hype, thought it would be good and was sadly mistaken. I just got back from watching it and couldn't wait for it to be over. At point, I debated walking out.

I had no connection with the characters, especially Stiller's. Which is odd because they even talk about this at one point in the film. RDJ and JB had some moments, but for the most part I was tired of them by the end. Cody (the SFX guy) had some rocking hair and probably was the most believeable character. McConahey(sp) was trying to play the loyal friend, but it was too far over the top. Nick Nolte? Whatever. Tom Cruise? Please.

I guess this movie had too many WTF moments. They weren't funny, but were supposed to be. I found myself shrugging them off, or thinking "Huh?" Examples: Tiny Ant Man being the leader of this band of drug-dealers. Half-Sack stabbing Stiller. Pecker showing up in the jungle at the end and using the TiVo to save our heroes. Alpha Chino being in love with Lance Bass. Stiller using the old man's teeth to play Simple Jack.

Maybe those people who protested this movie weren't offended at the use of the word "retard," but were instead trying to get their $9.00 back. I can't blame them.

I didnt find him all that funny. Now that's not saying his role wasn't a good one, he clearly acted the shit out of it, but I didn't find it funny. Especially the dance shit. I only lol'd at MM's part when he got a call from Stiller saying he killed the thing he loves most in this world (he thought hooker)... thats about it.

TC was pretty funny I thought. His rant when talking to the Vietnamese hostage holders was fucking hilarious.

Why don't you take a step back, and FUCK YOURSELF IN THE FACE!!!

I thought the only part that was funnier than that rant was this beauty:

Jeff Portnoy: Hey, Alpa, if you come over here and untie me, I will literally suck your dick, right now.
Alpa Chino: Man, what did I tell you? I love tha pussy!
Jeff Portnoy: I'll cradle the balls, stroke the shaft, work the pipes, and swallow the gravy.

I finally saw this last night. I know the academy will never touch something like this, but I say this in all seriousness as a layman film-aficionado. Downey's performance is Supporting Actor Oscar-worthy. He fucking OWNED that role. As soon as he hit the screen, he had my completely believing he was a black guy, even though I have seen probably twenty of his films over two decades, and knew that he was as lily-white as they come. If it wasn't for his fuck ups, I'm hard-pressed to pick a better actor from his generation.

Wait are we talking nomination or win? Because if you are gonna say win.. im gonna smack you in the face... Ledger as joker was much better than rdj as a black man.

I thought this movie was a miss. I'm getting very tired of Ben Stiller. I think he has three different characters he plays (the idiot, the straight guy and bono)and they all suck. RDJ was definitely the best part of the film but he couldn't save it.

It opened in the UK this week so I went to see it at the cinema- and wished I hadn't bothered. I had to force myself to stay awake. Tom Cruise was the funniest character. Maybe it just doesn't appeal to us brits!

If you loved RDJ as Kirk Lazarus throughout the movie, checkout the cast commentary on the etras. He does Lazarus about 80% of the time, if not close to 90%. It's fantastic.

the fuck are you talking about? The blu ray I have has the directors cut (ie Unrated Version) as the actual fucking movie. It's hilarious and THE SAME FUCKING MOVIE but with maybe 15 minutes of good shit added in sporadically

One of the funniest scenes in the movie though has to be the part where Ben Stiller goes back to the Vietnamese town to stay with his adopted son, when he comes back with Half-Squat stabbing him in the neck.

No. That wasn't the funniest part. The funniest part (in the movie) would either be RDJ and Toby's fake movie trailer or RDJ doing his bit in Mandarin.

Not sure about that. I don't like Ledger dead or alive. But he pwnd the Joker in TDK. I loved RDJ in TT, but Ledger does deserve it. It's to bad he couldn't see it. And I'm not some fan boy. Like I said, I don't like anything he did other than the Joker role.

look, I thought this movie was much funnier than expected (though I hated tom cruises role) and did a great job lampooning hollywood (jack black running for the drugs "don't judge meee!"). I am a big RDJ fan, but an award? seriously? no man, just no. Ledger gave a villian that will be remembered forever, downey just managed to do non offensive blackface, impressive nonetheless.

Not this year. I hope i'm wrong about this but for a vast majority of the time the GG's have been a precursor to the Oscar's. Now, that's not saying Tom Cruise will get a nomination, but at the same time, Nominations won't be thrown at TDK (again, according to the GG noms)


I hope, pray, wish I'm wrong.

I think everyone agrees it's a travashamockery for TDK to get one nod at the Globes...especially when the Globes is usually the one awards show out of the two that will recognize more mainstream stuff that the Academy wouldn't look at.

I loved RDJ in Tropic Thunder...the transformation was incredible and hilarious. Great quote: "Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box." However, as you can see I don't have RDJ in my avatar, I have Heath Ledger there. The energy and talent Ledger put into the Joker was phenomenal and he practically reinvented a character that has been around for a very long time. I didn't think he would be able to do that.
