There must be more Indy 4 reviews coming in... by fiester	May 16th, 2008 05:38:37 PM
Or are the folks at Cannes too busy checking out the topless beaches to type one up?
testricals by chuffsterUK	May 16th, 2008 05:39:46 PM
Spaced isn't shit,but your post is. This film doesn't look half as funny as it thinks it is!
Nah thanks, i dont want to ruin the movie by Mysterious Yobo	May 16th, 2008 05:47:09 PM
Im tired of seeing movies and thinking oh that the bit from the trailer and then being totally dissapointed because i did in fact see the best parts of the movie in the trailer and especially with a comedy movie i am not one to relive the comedy moments just because i thought they were funny when i saw them in the trailer. that stuff doesnt have replay value.
FUCK ITUNES by vini77	May 16th, 2008 05:51:25 PM
WTF
Is it me or is a child being shot in the back? by Orionsangels	May 16th, 2008 05:52:38 PM
That child ben stiller is carrying appears to be getting shot and then ben throws him through the air like a rag doll. Pretty disturbing stuff
No, the child is stabbing him in the back by manikman	May 16th, 2008 05:53:38 PM
Hence 'I was wrong' !
Looks grand by EriamJH	May 16th, 2008 05:55:32 PM
I will be there in the theater. (Unless the critics piss on it, then I'll save the $60 it takes to drive, park, pay, dinner, etc.)

Indy at Cannes by Quint	May 16th, 2008 06:01:40 PM
It doesn't screen until Sunday... and there are press screenings all over the US Sunday as well. I'm sure you'll have more Indy reviews than you'll know what to do with come Monday morning...
Downey's gonna steal it. by GrandMuffTarkin	May 16th, 2008 06:02:28 PM
His warped Cosby impression kills.
iTunes? by Spiegeltrui	May 16th, 2008 06:02:36 PM
Who the fuck has iTunes installed? So... what? They DON'T want everybody to see this trailer? They're willing to sacrifice a part of the audience for this movie, just so they can sell some more iTunes accounts? This is retarded. Companies are always trying to make me watch advertisements. And now, with the one product I am interested in... I can't watch the commercial for it because I don't have some invasive piece of software installed on my PC. Ah what the heck... I want to see this trailer so bad, I'll install iTunes just to watch it! Wait... what's that? iTunes isn't available for my OS? Fuck this!
Actually... by Spiegeltrui	May 16th, 2008 06:05:38 PM
it's for the best. Trailers spoil everything anyway. Guess they have to cater to the iTunes-crowd.
Just said in my previous post,no need for iTunes: by chuffsterUK	May 16th, 2008 06:06:37 PM

did I just say "heck"? Fuck, I must be really drunk.
I like inappropriote humor. by fiester	May 16th, 2008 06:08:45 PM
This could be funny. Too bad Billy Bob ain't in it. He's a funny fuck.
fiester... by Napolean Solo	May 16th, 2008 06:17:16 PM
You're so right... BBT would be right on the money in this. Baddass Santa in 'Nam!
That was no better than the first trailer by TheSeeker7	May 16th, 2008 06:21:02 PM
What, just 'cause we got to hear all the fucks, it's supposed to be funnier somehow? I actually thought the first trailer was better all around than that.
Spiegeltrui by Spiegeltrui	May 16th, 2008 06:21:28 PM
Yeah fuck me for not knowing the difference between commercial software number 1 and commercial software number 2. And besides, even if I don't pay them directy, by installing their software I increase their market share, which allows them to enforce the restrictions on people more easily. Ok whatever, maybe I'm overreacting, but iTunes still sucks, and the idea of restricting people to see your advertisement is still retarted. Also, you're a dumb ass.
And now i put my own nickname in the subject box... by Spiegeltrui	May 16th, 2008 06:22:26 PM
wheeeeeeee more beeeeer... more aicn....
Tropic Thunder... by BoggyCreekBeast	May 16th, 2008 06:23:54 PM
I believe I had a case of that when I ate something wrong in the Philippines. But this movie looks to be one of the few movies I'll spend gas going to see.
Looks like standard Stiller stuff by Thrillho77	May 16th, 2008 06:27:52 PM
except for RDJ...are you kidding me? His timing and commitment are incredible.
The 'best parts in the trailer' argument. by jimmay	May 16th, 2008 06:30:15 PM
All the trailers ever show are the most puerile and obnoxious jokes from the movie--people falling down, getting hit with things, and those tacky and predictable setup-flash-record needle scratching sound effect-zinger exchanges; essentially, bits so simple and base a brain-injured AM radio listener could get them. If those truly are the funniest parts of the movie, stay far, far away.
i love that stiller has a coat made of by Magic Rat	May 16th, 2008 06:32:15 PM
live polar bear cubs...or seals, or whatever it was. that was hysterical.
As for Tropic Thunder, by jimmay	May 16th, 2008 06:34:52 PM
It looks like it might actually be pretty entertaining. Lord knows we need a good comedy in this country, with exploding gas and food prices and anemic wage growth, we need to laugh, and bottom-feeding, regurgitated swill like Mike-I haven't written a new joke in almost a decade-Myers' latest craptacular 'The Guru' just isn't going to cut it.
oops by Magic Rat	May 16th, 2008 06:36:37 PM
the coat scene was in the regular trailer, not the redband one.
its got potential by vestaxwax	May 16th, 2008 06:41:28 PM

Tossing the kid by The Guy Who Slept Through Everything.	May 16th, 2008 06:47:01 PM
Was pure gold. Downey is gonna own this flick.
TheSeeker7 by mr.brownstone	May 16th, 2008 06:47:12 PM
I beg to differ. I never laugher during the first trailer. But that one made me howl.
laughed that is. by mr.brownstone	May 16th, 2008 06:47:36 PM
ahem.
This is the funniest by waites	May 16th, 2008 06:49:37 PM
craziest trailer I have ever seen. A friend of mine saw it at an early screening in New York and said it is freaking hilarious. I hate waiting until August dammit.
The long shot of the helicopter crashing by lex romero	May 16th, 2008 07:05:12 PM
whilst a soldier runs along in the foreground looks so awesome i wish it had been used in a "serious" film rather than a comedy.
wow @ downey jr. by Smoke Monster Loves Kate	May 16th, 2008 07:08:16 PM
...
holy shit, you're not kidding by mthrndr	May 16th, 2008 07:15:56 PM
that was fuckin funny dude.
Holy Shit R.D. JR is fucking hilarious by Spamster	May 16th, 2008 07:17:36 PM
So glad he's still working!
This might be Epic by James Westfall	May 16th, 2008 07:29:44 PM
With the whole stabby kid on the bridge bit... damn. And hats off to Downey Jr. When was the last time he had a year like this? Glad he turned everything around with his life and is back to strong film work.
"I have a son now... I was wrong!!!" by The Dum Guy	May 16th, 2008 07:35:49 PM
That made me laugh out loud. Only thing they shouldn't have shown is what happens to the director.
That actually looks funny by flickchick85	May 16th, 2008 07:42:45 PM
Most of it only looks like a typical Ben Stiller comedy when Robert Downey Jr.'s not on screen...except the whole bit with the kid. That was hilarious. But I'd go see this for RDJ's character alone. Isn't Tom Cruise supposed to have a spectacularly funny part in this as well?
nice by Dollar Bird	May 16th, 2008 07:43:10 PM
Aside from all the brilliant RDJr bits and his crazy-ass-wordifications, the best part was the kid yelling the Wilhelm scream while getting chucked off that bridge.
You have to install itunes to watch this? by executiverocker	May 16th, 2008 08:00:48 PM
fuck off
Now that was funny by aversiontherapy2	May 16th, 2008 08:03:16 PM
I don't often laugh out loud at the screen but the stabby kid was f'ing funny.
executiverocker, no you don't by Riley Martin	May 16th, 2008 08:40:56 PM

You pussies break into your parents liquor cabinet and start pounding Amaretto or something? What a bunch of puffed-up, whiny fucks. "Who has iTunes?" Pretty much everybody, you ponce. And the trailer fucking rocked. But yes, they could have left out the dead director spoiler.
that was hilarious by kungfuhustler84	May 16th, 2008 10:05:20 PM

Mother Nature Just Pissed Her Pant Suit by MrInsidious	May 16th, 2008 10:21:33 PM
One of the funniest fucking things I have heard in a long long time. I have high hopes for this one, also really enjoyed Downey Jr. defending Croc Dundee as a national hero.
GREATEST SEASON CLOSER by pocketlint59	May 16th, 2008 10:39:39 PM
This year's closer is going to be so much more awesome than superbad was
it looks good by bacci40	May 16th, 2008 10:57:29 PM
as it skewers every genre and a ton of actors in hollywood...im so there
Damn You Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	May 17th, 2008 12:04:04 AM
Damn You Michael Bay
the Tom Cruise bit is supposed by semisaj	May 17th, 2008 12:10:49 AM
to be the best bit in the film
So much more pumped for this movie... by The Grug	May 17th, 2008 12:16:01 AM
than any other this year. And for the record, Crocodile Dundee isn't actually a national hero down here.

what an easy way dling trailers... hate the yahoo site
sigh by smackfu	May 17th, 2008 09:48:00 AM
1. Why are you americans not bothered by this creepy Big Brother age verification system you have? Anyone wonder if there is any FBI profiling going on, you know, scanning for trends, in what kind of movie trailers you watch? Sounds paranoid I'm sure, but any more paranoid than them watching your library rentals? 2. I think it's an amazing testament to Apple's products that so many people will refuse to watch a trailer if it involves installing Itunes.
"you're Australian....be Australian!" by sambafreak13	May 17th, 2008 10:30:44 AM

This film looks like its gonna fucking rock. by MatDGZ	May 17th, 2008 11:08:53 AM
RDJ is one of the most talented actors I've ever seen. BS and JB look comfortable with it too, I think its gonna kick all kinds off ass!
I have a theory by Purgatori	May 17th, 2008 11:56:21 AM
this may be the biggest hit of the summer. We've needed a crazy ass good, balls to the wall, comedy with SEASONED comics for awhile. Downey hasn't done a comedy like this forever. Stiller has been stuck doing those fucking awful romantic comedies. This is going to be freaking great.
This Might Be The First Time Stiller Is Funny Since Dodgeball by El Fuego	May 17th, 2008 12:04:38 PM
Saw it again last night... it's sad that Stiller sells out to do shitty romcoms and kiddie flicks so often, because when he's actually trying like he is here, he can be really fucking funny. And RDJ becomes my hero more with each passing day.
I laughed my ass off at the end, LOL by Mike_D	May 17th, 2008 01:06:19 PM
kid getting thrown, bwahhaa
LMAO at that kid by RKO2285	May 17th, 2008 01:59:44 PM
That was fuckin funny as hell.... though I think pineapple express is going to be better... but hey two fucking funny ass movies in the same month... awesome! fuck zohan and the love guru!
YOU CANNOT KILL A KID IN A SUPERMAN MOVIE!... by UltimaRex	May 17th, 2008 02:31:00 PM
...but you can throw one in tropic thunder! This just made my watch list.
This looks like the Ben Stiller we knew and loved by skimn	May 17th, 2008 03:40:50 PM
from The Ben Stiller Show. He was always best lampooning Hollywood and show biz, not suprising given his parents, and this looks like a return to form. And hurrah for down and dirty obscene Jack Black. He was getting too Nickelodeonised, as was Stiller. And Robert Downey Jr may get a best supporting Oscar nom in a comedy, considering the years he's having. With a cameo by Tom Cruise, this is quite the cast.
Tom Cruise by skimn	May 17th, 2008 03:44:42 PM
see last weeks issue of EW for a in-progress make up shot of bald bearded Tom Cruise...wait...Tom Cruise with a "beard"? Is that Stillers clever in-joke?
dande estas by vaterite	May 17th, 2008 03:55:23 PM

Cruise by JackinNYC	May 17th, 2008 04:15:30 PM
is trying to get his image back on track with calculated precision. His attempt at humanizing himself by this 'humorous' cameo is really off-putting. I was looking forward to this film until I found out months ago that he was in it. Check out the bald pics of him in a ‘fat suit’ that he tried to get suppressed. Gee, getting fired by Redstone and then satirizing himself as well as Sumner in this look-a-like role to get him back in good graces so he can play Ethan again. Hardy har ha... Well, COS is no laughing matter Mr. Cruise. Just ask the victims.
smackfu by JackinNYC	May 17th, 2008 04:21:21 PM
You couldn't be more right. What really worries though me is the DNA project. Once they have accomplished this...freedom as we know it over.
The throwing the kid bit is hilarious by messi	May 17th, 2008 04:42:45 PM
fuck that made me laugh. like the dude on chud said, it comes out of nowhere like in the trailer for theres something about mary where the dog jumps out the window.
Cruise should climb into his flying saucer by CarmillaVonDoom	May 17th, 2008 05:41:48 PM
and fuck off! I'm laughing harder at all of the problems he's having with 'Valkyrie' than I did at this trailer. BUT that said, Tropic Thunder looks great in spite of the Cruise factor.
Scientology makes Baby Jesus cry... by BurnHollywood	May 17th, 2008 06:16:10 PM
Think about it...it took two millennia of crusades, pogroms, "heretic" murder and imperial conquest for Christianity to become what it its today, and then L Ron Hubbard comes up with a load of superstitious nonsense every bit as silly as Evangelicalism in only a handful of decades, with a far lower body count (has it been documented as killing anybody yet? I mean, outside of those dreadful !!!THE TRUTH ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY!!! websites?). Little wonder the Christian jihadists are up in arms over it...pure envy.

The decapitated head joke done better by Anakin_Piecocker	May 18th, 2008 03:16:56 PM
in martin lawrence's Black Knight. this looks good but also all over the place. jack blacks character looks like he's on acid or something and takes off his clothes? if thats it it's very redundant.
no more trailers by johnnyjlawless	May 18th, 2008 04:19:51 PM
after this one, my expectations are so damn high. I just feel great for Downey. After everything he's done and had happen, he comes back with a year like this. Good on him.
What a racist looking movie - by joeelliott	May 19th, 2008 12:59:36 AM
and I'm sure Ben Stiller will make fun of someone's accent in this one as well.
Glad I already saw this by Jabroni	May 19th, 2008 03:01:33 AM
Trailer spoils a lot of what I thought was funny about the movie. That said red band or not the movie is 100 times funnier than this trailer would indicate. Enough with all the Downey in blackface bullshit. It's funny as hell and all I read is it's racist. See the movie, HE'S A FUCKING METHOD ACTOR DOING A ROLE, is part of the fucking plot you jumping the gun, hate the movie before it comes out shit heads.
yes, a Zen by Lemming	May 19th, 2008 05:54:29 AM
The iPod's closest competition. And it doesn't force you to use a specific format or a specific media player. It's just not a fashion-symbol like an iPod.
