Tropic Thunder
Inlander:
Although the idea of seeing Robert Downey Jr. simultaneously perpetuating outrageous African-American stereotypes and outrageous Australian stereotypes has a certain appeal . . . from the look of that trailer this film is going to be bad. Like, really, really fucking bad.
KvP:
It's gonna be a terrible flop. By which I mean, a relatively "pretty good" first month's returns on it aren't going to get near the production values. Pretty sure it overtook Evan Almighty as "most bloated comedy ever made".
Tom:
Wait, is the movie going to be crap or is the movie within the movie going to be crap?
Thlayli:
Oh holy hell, I hope everyone involved in this movie goes bankrupt. Blackface? In 2008? Someone in Hollywood really heard that idea and thought, "Hey, that won't be horribly offensive to the entire country"? And Ben Stiller, the man who has perpetuated the nervous, inept Jewish man stereotype in every movie but that abortion Zoolander?
De_El:
Isn't being offended by the use of blackface in this movie missing the point in the most obvious possible way?
