Tropic Thunder

Does thinking Robert Downey Jr. is less hot as a black guy make me a racist?

Concession Confession: TROPIC THUNDER

Good and Plenty:
~Is it just me, or is Robert Downey Jr. fucking awesome?
~Usually Ben Stiller annoys me, but he didn't in this movie!
~Tom Cruise. I can't believe I just wrote that. But I'm completely serious.
~Matthew McConaughey also didn't annoy me! A MIRACLE.
~This movie totally made fun of itself, and Hollywood, and I love that.
~I was torn whether to put this here, or below, but the whole scene with the SPOILER ALERT head and "it's just blood flavored corn-syrup!" made me SQUIRM and slightly nauseas. Which I've decided it was probably meant to do. So kudos!
~Excellent cast ;D My brother and I highly enjoyed ourselves.

Sour Patch Kids:
~I loved the "trailers" at the beginning, but I don't think they should have led off with the rap "I like Pussy" song, because I was like "What the sweet holy hell is happening?" and my brother had to tell me, "It's the movie!"
~Ben Stiller may not have annoyed me, but he only ever plays two different characters in ALL his movies: the dumb, ego-centric guy or the sensitive guy. And he never really plays either WELL.
