New Film Tests Crudity’s Limits
Ben Stiller slurps gore from a human head. Robert Downey Jr. wears Blackface throughout. Both milk an extended gag about Hollywood’s weakness for what they impolitely call retards. And the film was not cheap. “Tropic Thunder,” an R-rated movie-industry spoof set to open on Aug. 13, is shaping up as an unusual parting gift to Paramount Pictures from Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Stacey Snider. The three are expected to leave Paramount shortly over dissatisfaction with its handling of their D

'Tropic Thunder' brings issues about cinema and race back to the fore
Robert Downey Jr. plays Kirk Lazarus who plays a Black vietnam soldier in the new, Ben Stiller Film "Tropic Thunder". The movie sets a satirical tone towards race relations in hollywood again. The movie has opened to a nice 26 million dollars, over the weekend. It was even able to knock the Dark Knight off the spot for no.1 (although Dark Knight is No. 2, and with 471 million under its utiltiy belt, I might add ). It looks like controversy sells.

Box Office Buzz: It’s ‘Thundering’ at the Top

Starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr., Thunder managed to come away with a $16.1 million this weekend, dropping 37% from last week. Two newcomers arrived in at spots two and three, respectively, making a complete moron of me and my prediction that The Dark Knight would hit back up to

Interview: "Tropic Thunder" - Boys Gone Wild!
The "Tropic Thunder" boys interviewed for EW. Some excerpts: Entertainment Weekly: This movie mercilessly ridicules the self-important aspects of acting. Ben, you were telling me earlier that there's nothing actors love more than to sit around telling stories about other actors behaving like jerks. Jack Black: But not in an interview! Robert Downey Jr.: Literally, I once heard an actor say, ''This whole process — us trying to shoot this scene — this is garbage. We need to put on animal masks and

Shriver, chairman of the Special Olympics, said of the expected push for a boycott.
