The movie was a lot fun, it didn't take me a bit to get into it, but it was a lot of fun.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I loved all the little references to prior films.

Second the Viggo love.
Went and saw Ironman, today. I have one thing to say, RDJ has eminently lickable arms. Oh, and it was a cracking good film.

In how many ways does Tropic Thunder seem wrong?
RDJ as a black man. This I have to see. (and hopefully Jack Black and Ben Stiller don't suck)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A black (sounding) guy behind me at Iron Man said, "I don't know about that " after the Tropic Thunder trailer.

I can't check youtube at work but if Juliebird didn't link to the red band trailer there are copious more levels of wrongness to be had in Tropic Thunder . I get the feeling that wrongness is the point of the film. Robert Downey Jr is playing an Australian actor and I think the point of him playing a black character is that the Ozzies have already played every other kind of person so black is simply the next logical step.

It is the red band trailer for Tropic Thunder.

I saw the green band trailer for Tropic Thunder, and at the time I thought it was going to be a parody of war movies, and I actually kind of wanted to see it. (At the time, I didn't realize that RDJ was supposed to look black.)
When I saw the red band trailer and realized that it was a parody about actors, who happen to be making a war movie (plus the fake!black thing), that pretty much went away.

Shit. Sydney Pollack died. [link] He always looked so hail and hearty. Anthony Minghella and now Pollack. Bad year for directors.
