First? by BackRiverCatfish	May 22nd, 2008 11:08:12 AM

yes! by BackRiverCatfish	May 22nd, 2008 11:09:38 AM
RDJ should be above this crap.
Saw it by mach6	May 22nd, 2008 11:12:51 AM
Thought it was hilarious! So glad that Robert Downey Jr. got his life back on track.
yawn by j2talk	May 22nd, 2008 11:14:24 AM
yawn....why bother?
And as much as I hate the trailer by skimn	May 22nd, 2008 11:14:34 AM
the Love Guru bit with Mike Myers made me laugh. David Arche-whatever's expression after the Guru told him he'd be getting hair in strange places was priceless. If only the movie didn't look so desperately lame.
Not as bad as the LOVE GURU by CarmillaVonDoom	May 22nd, 2008 11:16:16 AM
Jesus, seeing Mike Myers pimp that movie is like sandpaper being rubbed across my eyeballs.
Is there anything... by montimer	May 22nd, 2008 11:16:37 AM
that can't be improved by the addition of Robert Downey Junior?
The new "Pips" by skimn	May 22nd, 2008 11:17:16 AM
I liked how they danced to their own steps and rarely synchronized their footwork...I think Tropic Thunder will rule based on RDJ alone.
I'm actually enough of a TV geek enough to know... by epitone	May 22nd, 2008 11:23:58 AM
...that that's a riff on a sketch from The Ben Stiller Show about the first all-male backup singer group.
What's the difference between... by MCVamp	May 22nd, 2008 11:43:54 AM
A foreword and a preface?
MCVamp by montimer	May 22nd, 2008 11:45:31 AM
They're spelt differently
RDJ to Ben: by BoggyCreekBeast	May 22nd, 2008 11:49:10 AM
Don't forget, Iron Man is gonna SAVE Tropic Thunder this year!
Downey: One smooth brother by teedadawg	May 22nd, 2008 11:55:10 AM
Stiller was clunky. Black clowned too much (IDIOT!) Downey looked like the kind of guy that chicks dig.
Oooh, a BEN STILLER movie! by Baron Karza	May 22nd, 2008 11:59:03 AM
I'm sure THIS one will better.
DWTS far better than American Idiot by Ninja Nerd	May 22nd, 2008 12:16:41 PM
This show, goofy UGLY mirror ball trophy included, is just head and shoulders above AI. It's a whole lot more fun and entertaining. And it has never been mean, even to people like Penn Jillette who can't dance well at all. For me, the best moment of this season was the dancing of the "juniors", especially the winners, Brandon and Brittany. And DWTS got some Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders to present the junior trophy after Brandon made a comment about someday dancing on the show as a pro and wanting "...any of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.." as a celebrity partner. And this year, at least, the top three were indeed the best and Kristi deserved the win, even if some felt she was a "ringer". I will point out that I've done martial arts most of my life and have way above average physical skills, stamina, balance, and coordination. The wife and I took a ballroom dance course after the first season of DWTS and it was WAY harder than I thought. I can do a decent waltz and a passable foxtrot, but the quickstep, tango, and the latin dances are FREAKIN' IMPOSSIBLE to learn in a hurry. I say Kristi earned her ugly trophy. As for American Idiot, do we really NEED another Okie redneck C&W singer? I LIVE in Oklahoma...born and raised...and I'm sick of these people. My nickname for Carrie Underwood is "Hairy Underwear" and I think I'll anoint the newest Idiot "David, Cooked" since he looks like he just came from the meth lab out at the farm. Give me a freakin' break!
You compared dwts and ai? by gregniz	May 22nd, 2008 12:28:42 PM
Thats like comparing Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions......There both shit
it was pretty goofy by jamestewart007	May 22nd, 2008 12:54:33 PM
I caught this and it was pretty funny. 3 totally different styles of comedy in a great blend. The singing wasn't bad either!
Jack Black: The New Bozo The Clown by ArcadianDS	May 22nd, 2008 12:55:38 PM
The guy is a clown in the worst sense. He is so insecure that heaven forbid he share a spotlight with someone and NOT ham it up grade-school style in order to make himself the center of attention. Downey played it straight until his (clearly Jack Black scripted) walk-off moment. He attempted to be the real deal. Stiller was just holding on for dear life while Jack drove off the road and through the cornfield. And yeah, RDJ is so better than this.
RDJ - Better than this by Mezzanine	May 22nd, 2008 01:13:10 PM
Those of you shouting about how much better than this RDJ is, did any of you consider the possibility that maybe he is out there having fun? Sure, it's goofy... and the guy is undoubtedly talented, but maybe he enjoys goofing off once in a while too. People on the internet are too serious.
Downey was the only one with rhythm.. by AnakinsDiapers	May 22nd, 2008 01:26:44 PM
..just saying.
i love how by sharpie	May 22nd, 2008 01:42:50 PM
RDJ was funnier than stiller and black without even trying. well, they say art imitates life
at least it's for charity by MacTard420	May 22nd, 2008 01:54:09 PM
i can't rag on the tropic thunder team for having a spot on the #1 show in america and then donating the proceeds of the video download to charity. even if it wasn't the most hilarious thing in the world. i'd rather save my laughs for the movie when it comes out.
ArcadianDS by exie	May 22nd, 2008 01:56:03 PM
Everything you just wrote about the sketch, was exactly what they intended to do with it. They were supposed to not be in synch and 3 different characters. Clearly they achieved their objective. Sadly, you weren't in on the joke.
The Iron Man comic DVD is sold out by Laserhead	May 22nd, 2008 02:41:29 PM
Dammit, Herc.
TT Promo by sethcohen	May 22nd, 2008 03:02:16 PM
Strange, yes. Stealthy, no.
When will the bring back... by expert_40	May 22nd, 2008 03:02:16 PM
... the Celebrity All-Star Challenge? I remember watching "I Love the 70's Part 12" where they talked about that show and how Linda Carter's bouncing breasts won every event. Can't y'all just see a new version of Celebrity All-Star Challenge with Matthew Perry competing in the 100 yard dash against Ryan Seacrest and Alyson Hannigan while Kaley Couco and her luscious rack compete against William Shatner, Missy Peregrym, and Donald Faison in the 200 meter backstroke? As Bania often told Jerry, it'd be "Gold, Jerry! Gold!"

It was like an SNL sketch by Riley Martin	May 22nd, 2008 03:03:32 PM
It didn't know to quit while it was ahead
the rebirth of cool is rdj by Mr_X	May 22nd, 2008 03:55:24 PM
nuff said true believer. and Gladys night looked superfine
Iron Man was overrated by barnaby jones	May 22nd, 2008 04:09:09 PM
There i said it.
So now were stealing from 30 Rock? by spidermanfreak20	May 22nd, 2008 04:31:30 PM
Seriously 30 Rock already did this bit in Season 2. Much funnier.
Barnaby, I may be cranky and old by crankyoldguy	May 22nd, 2008 04:44:31 PM
but you're older and crankier. You want overrated? Try No Country for Ponderous Men and There will be Daniel Day Lewis reprising past roles of evil...
Spidermanfreak, it wasn't a steal. by Lenny Nero	May 22nd, 2008 05:37:44 PM
You mean using the same very popular song in both amounts to stealing? In "30 Rock," it was used to show Kenneth's exit from the building, then changed the lyrics to bring him back in, while "Idol" simply used an old clip of Gladys and The Pips and put in three celebrities in the same video. Yeah, those are so similar.
Piptacular! by Napoleon Park	May 22nd, 2008 07:03:48 PM
Downey as the arhythmic actor pretending to be a musician, Stiller as the guy who thinks he's too cool for this but clearly isn't (though he may be too old) and Black as the aspiring musician who realizes that his entire career to date still isn't as cool as any one Pip and tries to make up for it by being funny.
oh my by Bouncy X	May 22nd, 2008 07:09:41 PM
that kelly chick from destiny's child should totally play gladys knight if they ever make a biopic. gladys totally looked like her in that old footage.
Good call, Bouncy X. by Lenny Nero	May 22nd, 2008 08:08:05 PM
Kelly Rowland is a friggin' dead ringer.
I guess RDJ does have what it takes to play a black man... by versatol	May 22nd, 2008 08:22:04 PM
He was the only one with a smidget of rhythm. Ben Stiller looked like he was undergoing the stress of calculus exam while trying to keep a steady beat.
that little jew sure loves himself. by ironic_name	May 22nd, 2008 09:34:31 PM

Ghostbusters: The Next Generation by T$$$$$	May 23rd, 2008 12:15:04 AM
You saw it here first. Ben Stiller is the new Egon Spangler Jack Black is the new Ray Stanz and after watching Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr is of course the new Peter Venkman. I can't wait.
ironic_name..... by LHombreSiniestro	May 23rd, 2008 01:50:48 AM
which Jew in particular?
You misunderstand by barnaby jones	May 23rd, 2008 03:24:19 AM
It wasn't a bad movie, it was very solid in fact. I was merely pointing out that it actually isn't the second coming or anything. IM was a three star movie no more no less.
T$$$$$ by barnaby jones	May 23rd, 2008 03:25:48 AM
You are so on the money !!
Hey Herc!! No dissing Dancing With The Stars!! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	May 23rd, 2008 07:34:27 AM
Brilliant TV lol!!! Better than wanky old Idol anyway :p
Now, I'm a huge reality TV fan... by Lenny Nero	May 23rd, 2008 12:06:49 PM
...but I draw the line at "Dancing With The Stars." I at least want to see good dancing on TV. Luckily "So You Think You Can Dance" started last night.
saw this last night. by theonecalledshoe	May 23rd, 2008 06:43:43 PM
I'm still lol at this stunt.
Which little jew, ironic_name? by sean bean	May 25th, 2008 07:58:06 PM
They're all Jewish. Apart from Gladys Knight. Although she could be, I guess.
Comics NOT by YoCraig	May 27th, 2008 06:13:57 PM
RDJ was cool. Stiller is never funny and niether is Jack Black They try to hard; comedy should be more subtle. They're all "watch me make you laugh", to ehich my natural response is, "no you won't". To be equal oppurtunity, I feel the same about Sarah Whatshername (J.Kimmels girlfriend) and Martin Lawrence.
