Tropic Thunder

Post by Shlomart Ben Yisrael »

Not bad. Robert Downey Jr. completely steals the fucking show, But Stiller has a few chuckles (Simple Jack).

I didn't get what all the buzz was about Tom Cruise's character...He's played the role of a real prick before and done it better.
Jack Black was a letdown. Like his character was an afterthought, there was no real development, unlike the rest, there was no real "story behind the story".
The movie kind of tapers off heading in to the last 20 minutes.

I thought Downey Jr. and Cruise were fucking hilarious. Stiller was Stiller.

The only thing Black said that was remotely funny was when he was tied to the tree and started offering a blow job to Al Pac. Funny ass shiite.

Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. were the only reasons the movie was remotely watchable. Otherwise, it was just bad.

I don't get why Jack Black keeps getting roles. He's a horrid actor. He's about as funny as TiC, and his "dramatic" turn in King Kong was about as awful as acting can get.

Other than that, Tropic Thunder was pretty entertaining. Especially liked how it started by seeming to be a continuation of coming attractions, with the "disclaimer" of "This preview has been approved for audiences."

He's the "cool funny dork" the 12-18 crowd can relate to, and thus, he sells tickets. Since when did acting talent have anything to do with ticket sales. Tell me you knew.

I can accept the "dork" part, but neither "cool" nor "funny." And as far as talent equating to sales, one need only reference Adam Sandler to verify that there's no correlation. Then again, I'm a year or two removed from being in the 12-18 crowd, so what do I know?

He said 12-18, not 120-180. :D

Jack Black is OK... assuming it's a movie written for Jack Black, and the entire movie revolves around Jack Black being Jack Black.

Look no further than School Of Rock, which was entertaining.

Pretty sure he isn't getting swarms of offers to do Shakespearian Festivals over the summer, though. Any role that requires any acting beyond being Jack Black...

not so much.

What kills me is that Steven Zahn runs circles around Jack Black, yet Black keeps getting the bigger and better roles.

Jack Black was at the Onogga concert yesterday on the Mall...which is just one reason why I didn't show up. Tiger Woods, Bruce Springsteen......Jack Black? Jesus fucking christ in a Madison Golden Corral buffet.

No surprise for a bunch of granola-eating, shit-pushing liberal faggots.

Make up your fucking mind, you stupid cunt. Are we fat or are we skinny? Should be just about time for you to lose another job, you worthless fuck. What’s the next step down from jizz-mopping?
