Taking It To A Whole New Level

Just about everyone has seen this movie, but if you haven't it takes the "behind the scenes" to a new level. What's funny about this is that in the film the character, who's white, acts like a black man and later has to act like a black man in a vietnamese disguise, make sense?

So usually at this time of year all the studios launch their Oscar hopefuls by marketing the hell out of them. Tropic Thunder isn't Oscar worthy at all, but in context of the film's story it's hilarious. I really don't think they could have designed it any better. I love the understated look, playing into that serious drama feel. Robert Downy Jn. looks as though he's about to let loose and cry a river. And then the brilliant line above. Very cool, smart and very understated. All to get the web talking and increase DVD sales, well done.
