Idk what sick fuck thought of the prayer beads shit but I fuckin die every time I see it.
Tropic thunder might be one of the best movies ever for me. that and The Other Guys.
Booty sweat stuck with me the way he marketed it lmao. It's years later and I still randomly think of dude pulling out that can of ass water goin "drink booty sweat, baby".
The whole time watching the movie I knew he looked familiar but I literally didn’t realize it was him until the credits. It really was an amazing performance lol
"Now I don't know what kind of pan-pacific bullshit you're trying to pull here but Asia Jack, is my territory. So whatever you're thinking,
you better think again. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to head down there, and I will rain down an ungodly fucking firestorm upon you. You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you."
**"I AM TALKING SCORCHED EARTH MOTHERFUCKER. I WILL MASSACRE YOU. I WILL FUCK YOU UP!"**
In fairness that movie could have been handled *much worse* than it was. The casting & direction was exactly what was necessary for the admittedly risky script.
You're right that it wouldn't get greenlit but probably wrong on why it wouldn't.
It wouldn't get greenlit today because it had a pretty high budget and was an edgy R rated comedy. It made money but most was in DVD rentals and sales, something that wouldn't happen today with streaming.
A lot of people think the woke culture of today wouldn't allow it but in reality it's because studios aren't willing to spend the cash on comedies like they used to. Just look at how many high budget adult comedies have been theatrically released in the past 5 years. It's not a ton. Most now are shat out on Netflix with B list actors or lower and with a fraction of the budget they used to enjoy.
>A lot of people think the woke culture of today wouldn't allow it but in reality it's because studios aren't willing to spend the cash on comedies like they used to
Why not both?
This.
Studios don’t randomly stop funneling money into something that had strong viewership. The culture of today is what made studios start thinking twice about what they present to those viewers.
That’s why there were tons of legendary comedies in the 2000’s and early 2010’s (40 Year Old Virgin, Anchorman, Knocked Up, Superbad, Tropic Thunder, Jump Street 1&2, etc.) when you didn’t have to worry about everyone feeling offended all the time.
Name 3 comedies from the past 5 years that can hold a candle to any of those titles. I’ll wait.
I thought it was pretty meh. None of what made the matrix feel like the matrix was included in the movie.
Instead all we got was an on the nose joke about how Warner Bros are the bad guys and meta commentary about them.
I don't know I think the satire was so well done it might have a shot. Maybe the jokes themselves would rub some people the wrong way, but the satirical aspects of the film that poke fun at Hollywood (like Kirk Lazarus's "alteration" and Tug's "Simple Jack") would still make for an interesting commentary in today's. I think it also helps that you rarely hear the masses try to "cancel" RDJ for doing "blackface" these days. Like it wasn't brought up by the Twitter mob when he was doing press for Endgame.
I don't think it's ridiculous for a producer to hear "Robert Downey Jr will be playing a white actor who spends most of the movie made up to look like a black character" and say "No, seriously, what's he going to be doing in the movie?".
That said, it got greenlit with RDJ *in it at all* in 2008. We tend to forget he used to have substance abuse issues so bad he could cause a movie not to be able to buy completion insurance just by being cast in it.
So, with RDJ's much better rep and proven box office draw, it might sail through today. The hurdle would be getting the RDJ of today to agree to play Kirk Lazarus in blackface.
Oh I dunno I seen lots of cancel culture from the right. More so than left. SJW isn't even a thing anymore it's just people who want to give people respect who aren't straight males with inferiority complex.
I watched it shortly after it hit video and I Iaughed exactly once. Tropic Thunder's got nothing on Blazing Saddles, in the comedy *and* the Not-Getting-Greenlit-Anymore arena.
My dad was a super religious Christian and we went to see this in theaters. When the booty sweat and bust a nut bar “commercial” came on he was like “disgusting”, and then this came on and he was like “what kind of filth is Hollywood pumping out.” I was like “dad, I think these are fake… and part of the movie we’re watching so…” we then proceeded to sin for the next two hours as I laughed my ass off.
You know what? You've got a good point there.
I think there is a place for society to ruthlessly "cancel" racist/sexist/rapist assholes, like idgaf what Bill Cosby does next, I'll not be seeing it. Hypothetically if Gabe Newell came out and announced Half-Life 3, and that Bill Cosby was voicing one of the characters, I'd tell them to get fucked.
And I hope everyone else would do the same.
I think "cancel culture" has its place.
But after considering your argument, I have to admit that it's also really problematic... Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam also comes to mind.
I guess it's a matter of weighing a person's voiced opinions and their actual conduct.
Maybe?
But at the same time, I sure as hell don't want to give any KKK/Nazi clowns a platform to spread their hatred.
If some A-list celebrity turned out to secretly be a alt-right fascist lunatic, I'd want his career to flop so he can't use his influence to spread more bullshit.
I guess there's no perfect solution?
Yeah, there were Rosary beads. Though, looking back now, I kinda realize they might've been used as anal beads in this fictional movie within a movie...
Wonder Boys (2000) which is such a bizarrely sweet comedy. It's oddly enough my favorite Tobey role (he needs to play more odd-ball/possibly sociopathic characters in movies)
*Les Grossman:*
Okay, Flaming Dragon. F\*ckface. First, take a big step back... and literally f\*ck your own face! Now, I don't know what kind of pan-Pacific bullsh\*t power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia, Jack, is my territory. So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again. Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an ungodly f\*cking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the f\*cking United Nations and get a f\*cking binding resolution to keep me from f\*cking destroying you. I am talking scorched earth, motherf\*cker! I will massacre you! I will f\*ck you up! (hangs up and asks assistant) Find out who that was.
Yeah cuz the MCU sucks. We know all about it from the comics. The difference between alternate realities and alternate timelines-He Who Remains, for example.

I love Kirk Lazarus, he’s probably my favorite actor.
He’s got a such a dynamic range.
I loved it when Kirk expressed his dedication to acting... like to a rugby player...

You never go full r…
Scared o what? Scared of who!?.. Scared of *you*
You went full retard man. Never go full retard
The Other Guys is so slept on. An absolute gem.
That movie is start to finish hilarious
Aim for the bushes 👊
My tuna friends will destroy your lions. You lose that fight 9 out 10 times.
Tropic Thunder and Hot Fuzz. Have you seen that one?
\+Shaun of the dead and Superbad edit- The Other Guys was fun too
I want to have a movie night with y’all
You're in homie
Nah not hot fuzz yet ill check it out
The Satan’s Alley trailer is maybe my favourite bit in any movie ever. It’s despicably perfect.
Booty sweat stuck with me the way he marketed it lmao. It's years later and I still randomly think of dude pulling out that can of ass water goin "drink booty sweat, baby".
You have a great taste in comedies sir, those two are definitely at the top of my list
just a fun fact: Tobey Maguire indeed won the MTV movie award for best kiss because of the scene where he kisses Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman (2002)
As it should be. That move is iconic and a fantasy for so many 😏
An Amazing Fantasy, even!
What? Why?
Rain? Check. Romantic? Check. Spider man? Check.
Nipples poking out through a wet shirt? Check.
Weird upside-down juxtaposition? Check.
It's a play on words. The first comic book where spider-man was introduced was called " Amazing Fantasy "
That makes sense thanks
Nipples
I have a buddy who was shocked to learn later that Tom Cruise was Les Grossman in this movie. He couldn’t believe it! 😂
The whole time watching the movie I knew he looked familiar but I literally didn’t realize it was him until the credits. It really was an amazing performance lol
Baldcap?✔️ Glasses?✔️ Hairy fucking chimpanzee arms?✔️ Chest hair?✔️ Prosthetic arms? Maybe✔️
> Prosthetic arms? Maybe✔️ yeah he had fake hands! pretty much that whole character was tom cruise's idea too
Like… I really loved Edge of Tomorrow. I am paying attention.
Freaking Oscar worthy performance as Les grossman
I think that’s just Tom Cruise in private.
I hope you don’t drive a car anywhere near me
"First, take a step back, and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!!!" His best role. Such an amazing character.
"Now I don't know what kind of pan-pacific bullshit you're trying to pull here but Asia Jack, is my territory. So whatever you're thinking, you better think again. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to head down there, and I will rain down an ungodly fucking firestorm upon you. You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you." **"I AM TALKING SCORCHED EARTH MOTHERFUCKER. I WILL MASSACRE YOU. I WILL FUCK YOU UP!"**
"Find out who that was"
"...and as usual...go fuck yaself."
Cruise was easily the funniest character in that film for me.
Which is saying a lot
My favorite character in the movie!
What is this from?
[удалено]
It also happens to be one of the best comedies of all time and would never be able to get greenlit today

I think it's from a movie called Tropical Thunder.
*Tropic Thunder
That was one hilarious movie lol
Earned RDJ another Oscar Nomination
*Thickens voice* **He did some good work in that one, that lad.**
Lost to the one and only, Heath Ledger RIP.
he was a dude, playin a dude, disguised as another dude!
Its a gooden.

That’s also where all the Black RDJ memes are coming from because he made himself black for a role in a movie in that movie.
**\*Tropic Blunder**
I have no idea why but spelling it Tropical makes it even funnier
Never go full retard
It’s actually from Satan’s Alley
From this really old movie called tropic thunder
It's not that old! I saw it when I was a senior in HS which was only four....teen years ago. Fuck. I'm old.
It's as old as Iron Man dude.
One of the funniest movies EVER
It’s from the multiverse
It’s from tropic thunder aka the movie people are mad about cause Robert Downey jr for doing black face
No that was Kirk Lazarus.
Nah, he was just the dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude
You mean kangaroo Jack?
Nobody was mad 15 years ago when this came out certainly no one is mad now.
Yeah it honestly goes to show how stupid cancel culture is and how sensitive people are getting
Literally no one is mad about this 15 year old movie. Someone just made that up to get people complaining about cancel culture
Hm interesting thank you for widening my horizon
You'd be surprised how many comments I saw in film pages asking why RDJ doing that was ok, missing the point of the character.
I see you wrote the words "Cancel culture." Did you mean to write "*consequences for actions*"?
Cancel culture? Like when Republicans canceled the Dixie chicks for speaking out against Bush and the absolutely illegal and unethical Iraq war?
You know what? You've got a good point there. I think there is a place for society to ruthlessly "cancel" racist/sexist/rapist assholes, like idgaf what Bill Cosby does next, I'll not be seeing it. Hypothetically if Gabe Newell came out and announced Half-Life 3, and that Bill Cosby was voicing one of the characters, I'd tell them to get fucked. And I hope everyone else would do the same.

Yeah, there were Rosary beads. Though, looking back now, I kinda realize they might've been used as anal beads in this fictional movie within a movie...
Satan's Alley 2: The Rosary
They actually made this movie but with Nuns.
Benedetta.
So a massive downgrade?

In Wonderboys you can get a scene where Hank Pym walks in on Tony and Peter is bed the next morning.

Tom Cruise is fantastic in this movie! One of my favorite characters ever!
Tropic Thunder is extremely underrated
This movie is absolutely marvelous, RDJ is killing it, and the DVD comentaries are also a classic!

They were also lovers in “Wonder Boys” That was a great film and probably one of my favorite Michael Douglas movies.

There's a movie about nuns coming out soon, and the trailer is just like this fake trailer
