Tropic Thunder, Bitches!!!!


Last night me and the gf, The Almighty Kai, went to go see Tropic Thunder, after Madhatter of the World Famous Scrub Club crew pushed back our session. Would I have liked to record? Of course. Did I mind going to see the funniest movie in a long time with the girl I love? Of course not.

This movie is fucking the bomb diggy son (throwback slang, since Im a throwback nigga). Ben Stiller and Jack Black were funny, but Robery Downey Jr as Kirk Lazzurus and Tom Cruise as Les Grossman were the scene stealers.

For those that dont know, Tropic Thunder is about a movie being shot about Sgt. Fourleaf Tayback's experience in Vietnam. Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr and Brandon T. Jackson, star as the stars of the movie. After ego-trips and an inexperience director fuck up the original big budget film, Sgt. Tayback convinces the director to take them out to the jungle and shoot it guerilla style. With no luxuries of being off set, its just the guys and the jungle 24/7. Well, they get dropped off not in Vietnam, but in some Asian country (I believe Laos or something), and get into conflict with real life criminals. They square off against Flaming Dragon, an Asian heroin producing cartel. Ben Stiller plays Tugg Speedman, a big budget action star who is trying to get some acclaim after his attempt to be dramatic, Simple Jack (a story bout a retard), flops and flops hard. Jack Black plays Jeff Portnay, a comedic actor/slash drug addict, his main claim to fame is his Fatties movies, about a family of fat people who fat aka The Cracka Klumps, and he wants to be known for more. Robert Downey Jr plays Kirk Lazzurus, a multiple Oscar winning method actor (kinda like Daniel Day Lewis), who took his role so serious he got pigment changing surgeory done so he can play a black man. Brandon T. Jackson plays Alpa Chino, a rapper who wants to be an actor.

The film stars with a commercial for Alpa Chino's Booty Sweat energy drink and Bust-A-Nut energy bar. That shit along with the trailers for the new Speedman, Portnay and Lazzurus films are hilarious.

Tom Cruise though, my muthafuckin nigga Tom Cruise. Les Grossman is a movie exec, who cusses like a muthafucka. Sidenote, why are music exec T.I.'s (tall israelies) but movie execs are S.I.'s (short israelies)???

Hearing T-Cruise tell people to fuck themselves and referring to them as fuck faces are enough alone to spend the 9 bucks (warren after 4) 7 bucks (warren before 4) 8 bucks (northrock after 6) 5 bucks (northrock before 6) or if youre like me you floss that mil. id and get that 5 bucks a ticket everywhere.

The movie is one of the funniest movies ever, I dont know if the casual movie fan will like it, but if youre into movies alot and read up on the actions off screen and how actors can be, youll fucking love it. On some "Its funny cuz its true" shit.
