The trailer speaks for itself. Stop motion animated film. Nightmare Before Christmas director. I couldn't imagine how awesome it's going to be in 3D. Take a gander...

Vuole lo, qui lo è! Felice Jarrod?

Questa settimana ho guardato il film Tropic Thunder dal cinema studenti con il mio ragazzo e la mia amica. Era il tempo secondo ho guardato. Il film è una commedia e una satira di film gruerra. Penso che il film sia molto divertente, ma delle barzellette sono inappropriato. Il regista per il film era anche un attore famoso, Ben Stiller. Per una scena il suo personaggio non aveva i mani perche di una esplosione. Nella intervista ho guardato Stiller ha detto che era stato difficile dirigere con non mani; oggi voglio guardare Ben Stiller prova di dirigere con non mani. Quello sono anche altre attori nel film. Jack Black è un attore chi dava dei film commedie. Mi preferisco attore nel film è Robert Downey Jr. Era un molto divertente attore e uomo. Penso che sia divenrtente che lui sia un uomo nero sebbene lui sia un uomo bianco. Nel film è tutti stereotipi del soldato nero.
Il film è la tema di delle gente chi volgiano fare un film di dei soldati in Vietnam. Ma il problema è che i attori vadanno a dove i genti sono attuale violenta e i attori non sapiano. I canzioni nel film sono i canzioni classico per i film guerre. Delle canzioni include “Stop, hey what’s that sound” di Buffolo Springfield.
Io preferito parte è quando Robert Downey Jr finge essere un agricoltore cinese quandi possano entrare il campeggio degli spacciatori. Amo il suo costume e la sua citazione, “Io sono un agricoltore piombo, motherfucker!” Amo questo film. Voglio comprarlo quando vado a negozio, particolarmente perche davanti del DVD ha la stemma di Tropic Thunder.

Guess the event

Modern Midnight Movies: Tropic Thunder

Upon my first viewing I was thinking about tagging this as a midnight movie, but for some reason I had doubts. After viewing it a second time, I've definitely made up my mind. To what honor is it a midnight movie?, I'm still not sure. Midnight movies often feature bizarre sexuality, pathetic attempts at horror, or quintessential bad acting that is so bad its hilarious. Wait a minute! This movie is about bad actors. Actors so bad, they go full retard, don't know who they are, or are so hopped up on heroin the only thing they can do is fart. I'll even take it further, if you keep fueling the Rambo franchise with money, you'll only realize that the studio keeps making sequels because they're actually waiting for Stallone to die on the set as opposed to the belief they'll actually be any good.

It's Stiller's take on the Hollywood landscape that is just mind blowing. Obviously, Tropic Thunder was written with so much anger and disdain for Hollywood that I must think Stiller is trying to get himself blacklisted. Or is he a genius for pointing out Hollywood's shortcomings? In the movie the actors are portrayed as pathetic idiots, who are simply tools used by executives to rake in a profit, only to be slapped around or fed to the lions at the chance for a higher profit margin.

I'm going to continue to praise Stiller's genius, a midnight gesture in itself, for bringing up land mine politics in a most creative way. At the very moment Tropic Thunder's director within the movie is suddenly erased, we get a movie moment that should be remembered for a long time. Not only was the exit hilarious, but the silence and action from the actors following the disappearance is so well played out, that the audience itself gets loudly confused for a moment. Another credit to Stiller's genius is that every joke is not only is setup well, but also carried out to the fullest extent possible. It's likely this point that gives Stiller credibility, where he hasn't had any before. Believe me, I've noticed him playing the exact same retard role in too many films. I have heard there are some good ones, but I haven't seen them. I take that back, I loved him in Zero Effect. I will take further recommendations. But, for this film, Stiller shows he can excell at both acting and writing, ... and directing. Though, with so many A-list actors (real actors), it couldn't have been difficult.

One last note, Tom Cruise has a bit part in this film, which is a midnight performance in itself. Normally when I think of Tom Cruise, I think of a guy with an egotistical swagger in his voice, without any real hint of acting capability. Can you honestly name a film where Cruise isn't playing himself? Here we find him playing Les Grossman, a Hollywood exectutive, who is obsessed with diet coke, has fists that can be felt around the world, and has some fancy dance moves. It's nice that Cruise can push Scientology aside for a minute, and actually do what he gets paid to do.

Let's review now. Tropic Thunder makes fun of Hollywood, has well thought out and carried out jokes, is actually a cinematographic masterpiece, has an unforgettable Tom Cruise cameo, and just rocks in general. There's more I could cover, of course, but that's why movies are supposed to be watched and not just read about. There's two more showings at the SLC tonight (7 + 9:45). Now about those stars, originally when I saw it I gave it 4 because I just felt it was lacking a bit in the comedy department, but upon a second viewing I caught the stuff I missed before. So, I give this movie 5/5 stars, plus I give it my apporval as a midnight film.

Hungry for more?

Cheech and Chong was not an accident. From the first red eyed toke they took everyone was enamored watching their stumble into the clouds. They warmed the hearts of many Americans and set the stage for many more classic stoner movies.
Everyone was stoked for this summers "Pineapple Express." Stoners young and old became giddy and full of joy. Even Bill Clinton was reminiscing the awkward teenage days when some of us might of actually "inhaled."
Which leads us to the question of the day:
Do you have to "inhale" to truly comprehend stoner movies
and how did Bill Clinton like it?
Think about it.

Here Goes...

This is my first blog post. I am too tired to be creative right now. But I will say that I am really stoked to see Quantum of Solace. The trailers keep blowing my mind.

Sex

Where would the human race be without it? I'll show you where:



That's right. Now ponder this weary viewers: porn is a robot. Think about it, the systems that are currently in place, like the internet, and every kid ever having private access to the internet because of laptops and negligent parents, provide imitations of human behavior. PORN!

Enter James Gunn, the genius behind "Slither," which, by the way, is showing tonight at midnight at the Student Life Cinema.

“How many times have you been watching a great porn film - you’re really enjoying the story, the acting, the cinematography - when, all of the sudden, they ruin everything with PEOPLE HAVING SEX?” Gunn said on pgporn.tv.

That's right, James and his brothers Brian and Sean have created porn without the porn. It gets better, for the ladies and the gentlemen.

Episode 1 stars Nathon Fillion. And starring next to the male talent in these webisodes are the leading ladies of real porn (why bother mentioning names, you wouldn't recognize anything but their tits anyway).

Five episodes have been made to date and the first one is already up. Seriously, go check it out now. Oh, you're gonna do it later? You're so lazy, that's why I'm hooking you up with the video right here on the blog. Check out pgporn.tv for more.
