what are the chances of this thread remaining al jolson jpg-free?

Stiller got the idea for Thunder more than 20 years ago while shooting a small part in Steven Spielberg's WWII drama Empire of the Sun.

Our own Nick D. was THIS close to history.

the fact that they're willing to go to such aesthetic lengths has me naively hopeful that this will rise above Zoolander-levels of idiocy. not that i'm not down with such idiocy.

the conclusion to be drawn from this is that ILX is mad amped about TROPIC THUNDER

MAKE IT SO

four months pass...

So...this actually turned out pretty good! A little funnier than other recent action-comedy Pineapple Express despite a few unnecessary characters / cameos / subplots. Downey is wonderful. Many, many, many jabs at Hollywood's weird purity complexes and hypocrisies, both contemporary and "classic."

I know everone's going on about how Downey is black in this, but to me, he looks even weirder as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Anglo:
