Tropic Thunder

darkie racism is not racism. loldongs

Double standard? C'mon. The "I can't call you a N*gger yet you can call me a Cracker. That's messed up cause it's the same. They're both racist" argument is flat cause it doesn't consider history.

And no. Black man in White makeup (most likely) = comedy.

Yeah. Idk why, people should be used to Ben Stiller's type of comedy by now. Its not the first time he has retarted characters in his movies. Hell, Zoolander was a damn retarted character.

And the fact that they sue this and did nothing to "The Ringer" scares me.

White man in black makeup= comedy imo too. I laughed. My black friends laughed as well.

This is nothing like the ****** and cracker word dynamic.

You are using a double standard, as Downey's character isn't just simple blackface. If you bothered to read up on the background of the story/character, you'd see why. Doubt you'd admit it though.

Downey as a black man is comedic gold. Unlike movies like White Chicks, which was horribly inane.

Wrong. They are both racist. The word "cracker" is less harmful than "n*gger" because of historical reasons, but it doesn't mean the "cracker" isn't a racial slur.

leave it to FOTN to **** up a thread.

Yeah, lets get back to the movie.

I give it a B+

Yeah B+ is about right. Downey Jr. and Cruise stole the show imo.

I've only seen a few clips here and there, but some radio reviwer said the same thing about Cruise. Is it a major role? (don't spoil it though)

Going to watch it this weekend.

Damn it, now I want a spoiler that I'll regret reading after its said and done.

He essentially acts like an ******* and cusses a lot in a humorous way.

And he has the 2 worst moments in the movie:

Spoiler:
Both times he dances to hip hop music

I thought Tom Cruise was fab, it's a bit like how he was in Magnolia, but obviously a more over the top comedic route. I adored watching him dance to Hip Hop 🙂

I just saw "Tropic Thunder" not too long ago on my computer, and I really liked it. What made it good was the fact that they were able to juggle both action and comedy at once perfectly. Some parts of the movie were weak(like some of the middle), but overall I thought it was good. Downey Jr. proves once again that he's the ultimate master of acting. And on that note, everyone was in the zone for "Tropic Thunder". Ben Stiller hasn't been this good in a long time. 8/10

I didn't even realize it was him until the very end. I never liked the guy, but I'll be damned if he wasn't great in this. You just love to hate his character.

Pirate movies suck 😛

you all cant forget about satans alley or bust a nut haha those were classic!
