"Tropic Thunder" steals the show at MTV Movie Awards

As promised, here is the longer version of the "Tropic Thunder" viral video that aired on the "MTV Movie Awards." Totally hilarious! :D



The guys also made an appearance last night, presenting the Best Movie award.




Every picture I see of them just makes me want to laugh. They are like the new Three Stooges, only even wonkier and stranger. I mean, Jack Black looks like a turnip that just exploded here.


Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention, "Iron Man" won Best Summer Movie So Far. Woohoo! Man, RDJ is just très cool these days...!

another video from the guys of "Tropic Thunder"

I don't know how, but at some point, this blog became some unofficial shrine to "Tropic Thunder," mainly 'cause I keep talking about it, when it's one of the unlikeliest movies I'd thought I'd ever want to see. The big part of the appeal for me has been the viral marketing, one that continues to charm and humor me. Tonight was the "MTV Movie Awards," and while it is one of the most shameless and self-absorbed shows out there, the spoof skits continue to try to push the envelope. Here is the latest one for "TT." Me want that movie poster! (Watch the video below to get what I mean.)



Note: This is only a taste. A longer version of this video aired on the award show. Waiting for someone to post the full video. :)

Tropic Thunder exclusive trailer

A "Tropic Thunder" fan (thanks, Trailer Girl!) tipped me off about this exclusive, uncensored trailer for the film. This version of the trailer has even more to the story than the previous trailer that I've seen. I already fawned over their American Idol appearance, but this is really what the film is all about. Check it out; it's freakin' hilarious!

BEST VIDEO EVER...!

While I was very happy that David Cook won last night on "American Idol," by far, my ABSOLUTELY FAVE moment last night wasn't seeing Mike Myers as the "Love Guru" (although he was pretty funny), or Carrie Underwood (she looked gorgeous, but I wasn't loving the song), but THIS, this HIGH-LARIOUS video. I was laughing so hard, but the tone of the video was perfect.



Apparently, in a not-so-obvious marketing ploy, the stars of "Tropic Thunder," Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. all made an appearance, and in this case, in the form of back-up singers for Gladys Knight as the original "Pips." Jack Black had the smoothest dancing and comedic moves, but as I'm currently in a love-fest with Downey Jr. 'cause he's still Iron Man in my mind, I was excited to see him, too. (And in case you didn't know, RDJ plays an African-American in this film. Digest this a bit...)


Anyhow, watch, enjoy, and if you decide that you love it, d/l it from iTunes, as proceeds will go to charity. :)

Funny, but not funny enough!

Absolutely flawless!!!

Iron Man, my hero...

I saw "Iron Man" this past weekend, and it was awesome!!!! And do you know who made it awesome? Robert Downey Jr. He's SOOOO good as Tony Stark, never mind the playboy attitude and smooth player who talks a mile a minute and can't remember the names of the women he slept with. I walked into the theatre knowing nothing about this superhero, who in my mind always looked a tad dated and lame, 'cause his iron mask doesn't elicit much excitement (like a tin-can droid from the 50's), but after seeing his evolution from man to hero, I can't wait to see the sequel.


I know I said that I'm a fan of period dramas, but I have a soft spot for action movies, too, esp. if they're done well. I think this was one of the more memorable and likable comic book films I've seen in a long, long time. I've seen almost all that have come out (Batman, Superman, Spiderman, X-Men, Sin City), but this is one where I could re-watch it and still enjoy it. Jon Favreau really did a great job directing, and the editing really makes the film jaunt along. Love the comedic timing. Terrence Howard was also very likable as the best friend, and you can totally see him as the wing man if him and RDJ ever hung out in a bar together.

My only complaint is Gwyneth Paltrow as a modern damsel-in-distress. She didn't have any blood-curdling screams like Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman 3, but still, couldn't she have done more than wander around in 6-inch stilettos? The sexual chemistry was good in that they stayed platonic, but still.....there needs to be an Iron Woman or something!? Enough of this prim-and-proper-assistant crap.

If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out before all of the other blockbusters knock it out of the bigger screens!


Iron Man, in theatres now.
