New International Trailer for 'Tropic Thunder'
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 9:26AM
The summer of
Robert Downey Jr. is halfway over, with Iron
Man fading into the ether at the box office, but soon enough, he'll be
everywhere again in support of his new comedy,
Tropic Thunder. I've never spoken to
Ben Stiller so I don't have any idea what his
personality is like (some comedians, you know, are real jackasses), but I wonder
if he's OK with all the attention being on Downey. After all, Stiller's
technically the lead and it's a movie he wrote and directed. Nobody cares about
that, though; they just want to see Iron Man in blackface.
Well, we get to see a little bit more of that - although
what's most revealing is the pre-surgery Kirk Lazarus - in the new international
trailer for Tropic Thunder.
I wish they'd kept Danny McBride's pantsuit line in this one. Oh well. Seek it out if you haven't heard it. Tropic Thunder opens August 15th.

Stiller?...fading. Finally.
Downey Jr?...Rising. Finally.
Ben? You should be thankful.
I know that smugness anywhere; that's really YOU, Janeane Garofalo, isn't it? Say hellow to obscurity on Air America for me!
I was watching Jeapordy the other day and, no kidding, this was the category:
"Bens Who Suck."
5. Who is Affleck?
4. Who is Stein?
3. Who is Vereen?
4. Who is Bernanke?
5. Who is Stiller?
Ben Vereen does not suck. You take that back.
Stiller doesn't suck you morons
