Aint too good. Anyone else seen it?
-
didnt love it, didnt hate it.
laughed a few times.
better than most comedies this summer.
but the bar is set rather low.
-
Are you there watching it right now?
-
I'm sorry to hear this. I thought it looked really funny.
-
I thought it looked pretty funny til I noticed the cast, plot, script and trailers.
-

what no link?
-
Are you there watching it right now?
I was, yeah. The theater was empty, though, so no one cared.
-
It wasn't as funny as Step Brothers or Pineapple Express but I always enjoy Danny McBride.
-
I thought it looked moderately awful, so I've been surprised to hear that most people had positive things to say. It's nice to have my initial unfounded judgment confirmed.
-
i was disappointed by step brothers and pineapple express. maybe it was because i was drunk, but i just went to sleep after an hour of the same jokes and no story.

That's kind of endearing.
-
ditto. pretty bad. i feel more stupider now that i saw it.

That the theater was empty? Or that I think the FOT boards are more fun than a movie?
-
I just downloaded
watching now
it seems fun

oh shit Crooze is in this

****
I just finished it
I enjoyed it
a fun little send up of war movie conventions
Robert Downy Jr. was busy being awesome, Jack Black was busy being chubby and everybody else played the background. Nice cameo by the OT7. I could see this being a fun date movie, nothing earthing shattering just a fun ride.

I thought Tropic Thunder was a lot funnier than Step Brothers and Pineapple Express. Were you baked when you saw those? That might explain it.
-
Admittedly the bar is low, but my favourite comedy of the year is Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

a friend suggested the same thing; we were baked when we saw Step Brothers, not Pineapple Express. but Step Brothers looked awful (just in the trailers) when i was sober, so i am going to continue to disagree.

took me a while to write. not one of my best.
i couldnt remember the line about "Alpa Chino's Chinos" but that one was funny too.

No sirree! I think a lot of potentially funny scenes in Tropic Thunder got ruined for me through the trailers or buzz around the movie (Tom Cruise's role could've been a great surprise.)
-
is that really the fault of the movie makers? or your fault for paying attention to hype and ruining the fun of going to the movies?

Jesus was that awful
the girl that worked at the hotel was beautiful though.

You're totally right. I think I would have liked the movie if not for jamesp.
-

it's your fault.
-
i thought sarah marshall blew fat dicks. that's oen of the most over rated comedies i've seen in a long time. it was like three hours long and even though the chicks were hot, there wasn't much of a story and i wanted to kick that main character in the balls sack becaue he's such a pussy.
-
it was funny when he showed his dick though. the movie would have been better if it had just been the lead guy and fat jonah hill looking at each other's dicks. and then some sceens where the hot chicks kiss.

I thought that southern kid that plays the slightly effeminate/gay guy in all these movies the stand out.
He's funnier than anything else in the crap movie. He needs his own movie stat.
-
is there a Raad_Man filter yet?
-

I love this sentence and also I am confused by it.
-

obviously there's no dick-sniffing douchebag filter yet.
-
I am convinced that Raad_Man is Quentin Tarantino.
Or at the very least Kevin Smith - both toilet-mouthed.
-
I'm convinced that Raad_Man is some other FOT, exorcising his (surely not her) demons that would have previously been set free in fotchan.
-
Yeah, that's my theory too. If not, what is he even doing here? What got him here? Why is he staying?
-
Raad_Man is, as Junk said, an old school FOT/WFMU message board poster. Happily, his NSFW appearance on WFMU's "Conservative Corner" is still on the blog (http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/07/post.html).
-
holy shit, that was fun. i feel bad for having a screaming match with chris t, but it's understandable since i was hammered. i got so drunk that when that show was over i tried to make some hushpuppies, but fucked it up and it turned into this one giant brown rock thing with no cornbread and tons of grease. but i had to eat them because i didn't have shit else to eat. i got really sick that morning.
-
The Tom Cruise stuff was painfully unfunny. Ben Stiller seems to think that excessive cursing and ridiculous prosthetics combined with stupid dance sequences is comedy gold when it's mostly just unbearable to watch.

yeah, but like ninty nine percent of the rest of the world found it funny. guess that makes them dumb asses right?

Nah, the only people I'll call dumbasses are those who buy a ticket to see Disaster Movie and enjoy it.
-
I'll definitely be watching 'Disaster Movie'
but I shan't pay for it.
I'm a sucker for those Seltzer/Friedberg films.
Really wish I wasn't.
God, they're terrible.

How do you know whether they found it funny or not? And does that 99% include gypsies?

When I went to see the movie Monday night, the crowd was not laughing particularly hard at the Tom Cruise bits. Everyone kind of whispered when they figured out who he was, there was that brief enjoyment of recognition, but beyond that? Crickets. Guess that kinda refutes your statement, right?
I thought the main problem with Tropic Thunder was that it essentially became the film it was trying to parody: a bloated, overly expensive action dud. I was expecting satire or at least funny jokes, but what I got was another near-laughless action-comedy, as if there weren't enough of those.
All of this year's major film comedies have disappointed me to some degree. Last year now feels like a distant comedy paradise (Knocked Up, Superbad, Walk Hard, The Ten) compared to this year's sorry crop (I did think Pineapple Express was pretty good but, again, a disappointment considering what it COULD'VE been, esp. with David Gordon Green directing).
-
99 percent of my theater was laughing. if you were really hearing crickets, then mabe you weren't even in the theater! but maybe you were just saying crickets as a joke. if so, hats off to you good man for a well cracked joke. if only ben stiller was that talented maybe a full 100% of the theater would have laughed.

The main problem with Tropic Thunder is that there are 3 4 pages of discussion about it on this board. And The Ten, are you serious?

Raad_Man is my new favorite FOT.
This motherfucker is real.
I keep thinking he looks like this, though:

yeah right, man. i haven't had a mullet since high school.
nowadays i'm sporting a rat tail. everyone thinks it looks stupid, but in like 5 years everyone will want one.
-
I'm with KTB. Raad_Man brings the goods and puts the Floonies of the world to shame. Haters be damned.
-
I was just thinking of Jim Anchower today when deciding whose image to print on my Zazzles:

Yes. That was a very funny movie. Not all the segments worked, but the ones that did were pretty hilarious.

Hey Raad_Man, did you see Tropic Thunder at Film Forum too?

I know, I really have nothing to add to this topic and yet I am compelled to keep reading.
I want to like Ben Stiller, but his movies are always a little too much or not enough...

Alright, I'll bite, what's the best theater in the whole world?

the new beverly. it's just a few blocks away from where i live. you get two movies for 7 bucks. so awesome.

this is the truth.
they also show old 70's porn sometimes.

fuck yes. and they have special guests all the time. ivan reitman was there for stripes. and tarantino is always there. he was sitting behind me during mondo caine, this awesome movie about how fucked up other countries are. really eye opening stuff.

aside from the fact that the sound and picture there is questionable, seating being awful, and some other things....i went there for blade runner and one of their "special guests." it was a guy who rambled for 45 minutes and acted like he was close to ridley scott and actually made decisions on the film. this guy isn't even listed on imdb, and apprently was just a PA on the film. ughhhhhhh, i don't want to go back there because of that junk.

At the nicest theater in Knoxville, they use a clean sheet to project the movie onto every day.

I thought it was great. It kept me entertained the whole time and I laughed a lot.
What more can I ask for?
Tom.
