booya
that's funny. by frankenfickle	Mar 12th, 2008 02:49:10 PM
i think i'd rather pay to watch stiller and downey talk smack than watch this film; those dudes are funny.
this actually sounds pretty good by ldm882	Mar 12th, 2008 02:53:37 PM
i've been skeptical, but between that photo of downey and the news that its apparently going to be R-rated, i now am looking forward to this
this sounds too funny for words! by billyhitchcock	Mar 12th, 2008 02:56:38 PM
hope it is.
Ha! Ha! Black Face & Vietnam! by Baron Karza	Mar 12th, 2008 02:59:19 PM
Hopefully there is some Aids jokes too!
baron karza got offended. by frankenfickle	Mar 12th, 2008 03:01:38 PM

'fighting a his heroin addicting' by Billy Batts	Mar 12th, 2008 03:07:52 PM
sorry, had to quote it.
Sounds hilarious. by TattooedBillionaire	Mar 12th, 2008 03:09:39 PM
I never get excited about summer movies, but it seems that we might have a great batch of them this time around.
"You must have been in jail when it came out" by SpencerTrilby	Mar 12th, 2008 03:16:16 PM
That was hilarious, and a bit sad at the same time. Oh, and Tropic Thunder sounds more like a winner every time something comes up about it. I'm officially more pumped to see it than I am for Iron Man.
"Our loyal coverage of the project" by SpencerTrilby	Mar 12th, 2008 03:27:30 PM
No shit?
You met IRON MAN! by skywalkerfamily	Mar 12th, 2008 03:28:22 PM
Sweet.
Tropic Thunder Over Love Guru? by bobinnova	Mar 12th, 2008 03:38:26 PM
Great decision! The Love Guru party was probably hurting for ANYONE to come and see it. Love Guru will be the 2008 Worst Movie of the Year.
More excited about Iron Man by skywalkerfamily	Mar 12th, 2008 03:52:08 PM
This comedy doesn't sound very funny.
Jamie Foxx movie by MC-909	Mar 12th, 2008 04:03:05 PM
A homeless guy that's actually a musician...wow..how original. Is he a boxer as well, or maybe some other noble profession? Where does Hollywood keep coming up with this stuff? C'mon Robert and Jamie. You guys rock. Please don't be doin' that shit to us.
Okay, I'm convinced, I need to see this by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Mar 12th, 2008 04:03:39 PM
just in order to see Robert Downey's performance.
Plus now Downey can also play by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Mar 12th, 2008 04:06:25 PM
War Machine.
by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Mar 12th, 2008 04:07:54 PM

Yeah... by Tourist	Mar 12th, 2008 04:30:53 PM
...Joe Wrights follow up to atonement sounds like it should star Samuel L Jackson, so it can premiere at sundance and go onto a noble and profitable life straight to cable. Tropic Thunder sound good though.
Change that shitty title! by skywalkerfamily	Mar 12th, 2008 04:39:08 PM
Tropic Thunder? Does it star Hulk Hogan?
tropic thunder the hulk hogan action boat sitcom by rartus	Mar 12th, 2008 05:05:08 PM
nice ref, it took a few seconds to hit me..didn't it turn invisable or something like that
Hulk Hogans TV show by Dopenose19	Mar 12th, 2008 05:15:44 PM
was called "Thunder in Paradise", and the only good thing it ever did was serve as a stepping stone for Nicole Eggert to join the Baywatch cast. You been served, crappy 90's tv style!
And Hulk's boat could go underwater, not turn invisible. by Dopenose19	Mar 12th, 2008 05:16:59 PM
Nor invisable.
"game"? "unset"? Do you ever proofread your articles? by googamooga	Mar 12th, 2008 05:22:13 PM
Just wondering...
Knightboat! by skywalkerfamily	Mar 12th, 2008 05:30:07 PM
The crime fighting boat!
these guys finally made a quality "r" far out comedy?! by pipergates	Mar 12th, 2008 05:47:44 PM
sounds amazing.
Jamie Foxx is remaking The Caveman's Valentine?!?!? by DonliQ	Mar 12th, 2008 06:10:37 PM
Too soon!
RDJ = DIVO? by ludmir88	Mar 12th, 2008 06:31:44 PM
maybe
i hope is better than zoolander by pcassou	Mar 12th, 2008 06:35:31 PM
The cameos were what make that movie work
Sounds pretty damn funny by SkinJob69	Mar 12th, 2008 07:22:34 PM
will definitely check this one out. Liked the Stiller/Downey exchange- naturally funny dudes.
Thanks! by waites	Mar 12th, 2008 08:56:41 PM
Great report here! I am very jealous! I would love to meet Iron Man too. Seriously I am huge fan of Downeys and will see him in anything. I am looking forward to all of this movies this year.
Black, Coogan, Downey! by FILMFUNK	Mar 12th, 2008 09:19:29 PM
Stiller I can live with amongst that line up! This sounds good!
"they game us the first-ever looked at the trailer" by Bobo_Vision	Mar 12th, 2008 10:22:37 PM
Whaaaaaaaaaat?
this sounds fucking great by robertplant	Mar 12th, 2008 11:17:24 PM
All of the guys in this flick have done GREAT work. I think this will live up to the hype. Fingers crossed. Also, HULK doesn't look as bad as a bunch of you dorks are making it out to be. I immediately remembered the drop-out-of-plane scene from Ultimates. Going into Hulk 1 I had never read a Hulk comic and I enjoyed it. This I recognized a scene right away from the comics...there's a non-Nolte villain...fingers crossed again. What was with the gay date at the beginning, though?
Oh. Hulk is bi. by robertplant	Mar 12th, 2008 11:17:42 PM
I get it.
I wonder if Downey's "australian" accent... by Sledge Hammer	Mar 13th, 2008 12:18:54 AM
...will be any better than the horrorshow of an accent that he used in Natural Born Killers. Don't get me wrong, I loved him in that flick, but his accent was fucking terrible.
Capone, please don't ever use "drop" again... by Kirbymanly	Mar 13th, 2008 01:53:24 AM
As in "the trailer just 'dropped'". It's annoying.
Capone = planty planty plant by snappy	Mar 13th, 2008 04:17:08 AM
Hey, look at me, I'm Capone from AICN. I'm so important that the studio rep sought me out in Vegas (how did they know I was there?) to schmooze with some movie people at a free PAR-TAY. Of course I'm being completely objective when I say this movie will RULE; my opinion is in no way affected by the complimentary booze and shrimp cocktails I snaffled before meeting the film's stars, who all wanted to talk to me for a long time. Because I was the only "journalist" there. PAH!
Death of a major character or ... by The Gospel According to Bastardface	Mar 13th, 2008 08:16:54 AM
Not Stiller or Jack Black, you tacitly gave it away Capone you idiot.
I hope it stays R Rated though by The Gospel According to Bastardface	Mar 13th, 2008 08:19:46 AM
Definitely sounds like a harder Galaxy Quest and as I loved Galaxy Quest and the Three Amigos I think I'll love this too.
you fighting a your heroin addicting there, Capone? by ikkyu	Mar 13th, 2008 08:58:12 AM
go to bed, man. plus - Stiller eats the exploded dude's brains, thinking they're jello, no? that's my guess, anyway.
Tropic Thunder will wreak ANAL HAVOC on Love Guru... by Behemoth	Mar 13th, 2008 09:21:19 AM
...I already smell the reeking stench of Myers' latest dump of a film from here. Already the flies gather to feast on his Austin Powers leftovers. The stink of cumin cannot cover this atrocity. Tropic Thunder will inflict a James Caan, Godfather I, Trash Can involved, shot to the gut, knee to the thorax, elbow to the gib monster BEATING on this slimy piece of worm-ridden filth.
Who cares? Bring on TDK! by Admiral Nelson	Mar 13th, 2008 10:31:27 AM
Yeah, this sounds mildly amusing... but the only news I want to hear from Showest is about the next Batman film. Anything else is just a distraction from my most anticipated movie of the year.
Good to see Downey's ship finally coming in by King_Knut	Mar 13th, 2008 12:07:30 PM
Man's been earning it for long enough.
This movie looks hilarious... by poeticwarriorII	Mar 13th, 2008 02:11:14 PM
let us all hope it turns out as good as it's currently sounding.
yeah, the loveguru can suck a dick. by GQtaste	Mar 13th, 2008 06:22:26 PM
I have no desire to see anything w/ Myers in it. And /w Timberlake too? Please, for the dude that said it would be the worst of '08, you're 100% correct.
Sledge.... by Tourist	Mar 14th, 2008 01:31:23 AM
His accent was only meant to be kind of Australian. He was more taking a spin at a Robin Leach sounding voice.
lots of media by cactusman	Mar 14th, 2008 06:59:25 PM
there were a pretty good bunch of press at this.. as we intervied RDJ and Stiller that day and the next.. but wow, it was a cool party and great clips
So it's Monday now... by mr.brownstone	Mar 17th, 2008 02:14:32 PM
where's the damn trailer?
TROPIC THUNDER TRAILER by Stevie Grant	Mar 17th, 2008 11:17:40 PM
This might be old news, but the Tropic Thunder trailer (two and a half minutes long) is online. I just linked to it from Chud.
by Stevie Grant	Mar 17th, 2008 11:18:17 PM
it's on yahoo movies
Stevie Grant by mr.brownstone	Mar 18th, 2008 05:18:54 AM
Thanks.
