		<description><![CDATA[Who knew making fun of vain, narcissistic, and overly paid Hollywood actors was so profitable? Ben Stiller, that&#8217;s who. The actor-director&#8217;s comedy &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221; continued to reign supreme at the box office for the third straight week, knocking off would-be usurpers &#8220;Babylon A.D.&#8221;, &#8220;Traitor&#8221;, and &#8220;Disaster Movie&#8221;. The last film was, thankfully, a disaster, opening at #7 with a $6 million dollar take. Let&#8217;s hope everyone who rushed out to see the movie got hit by a car on their way out of the theater, thereby saving the human race from stupid babies in the near future.
In its third week, Ben Stiller&#8217;s &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221;, about a bunch of idiotic actors making a war movie, who encounters real enemies, took in $11.5 million, for a 3-week total of $84 million. Not bad, but the film is still about $10 million short of making back its budget. It will undoubtedly earn a profit at the theaters, and should make even more on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tom Cruise has a cameo (well, it&#8217;s almost five minutes long, so I guess it&#8217;s more than a cameo) in the Ben Stiller comedy &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221;, playing the bald, overweight, and cold-blooded owner of a talent agency film studio that handles the career of Stiller&#8217;s action hero character. It&#8217;s supposed to be Tom Cruise&#8217;s best work in a long, long time, pretty much because Cruise is playing against type. Can you imagine Cruise doing a serious movie where he&#8217;s overweight, bald, and calling people &#8220;playa&#8221; as hip hop music play in the background?
Here&#8217;s that 5-minute appearance by Cruise in &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221; that someone put up on YouTube. Obviously this thing is going to get pulled faster than you can say, &#8220;Run, Katie Holmes, run!&#8221;, but in the meantime, it sure is oddly brilliant, ain&#8217;t it? Easily the Cruister&#8217;s best work since, well, he and Goose made out in the cockpit of their Tomcats in &#8220;Top Gun&#8221;. What, you didn&#8217;t see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a rule, I avoid comedies like the plague. Either they are too low-brow for my tastes, relying on flatulence or gross sexual situations for laughs, or they cannot sustain their humor. Comedies also tend to be dominated by flavor-of-the-month performers, usually someone who was on &#8220;Saturday Night Live,&#8221; who churn out one film after another until they’ve saturated the market. Just a few of the offenders include Will Ferrell, Mike Myers, Owen Wilson, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and Ben Stiller. Despite my aversion to Stiller, I have seen a fair number of his films. Not because of him, though. He just happened to be in the cast. This is the same reason, I saw &#8220;Tropic Thunder.&#8221; Stiller may have co-written it, directed it, and starred in it, but for me the draw was Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. Early buzz, too, has been favorable, with &#8220;Newsweek,&#8221; &#8220;E!&#8221; and &#8220;Rolling Stone&#8221; hailing it as this summer&#8217;s funniest comedy.

		<description><![CDATA[It took Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. in black face to take down the Dark Knight, but by golly they did. The racially and politically incorrect comedy, about a bunch of idiot actors who find themselves caught in a real war but are too dense to realize it, &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221; opened with a $26 million dollar weekend debut, good enough for first place, and knocking &#8220;The Dark Knight&#8221; down to second place with $16.8 million, according to studio estimates. That brings &#8220;Knight&#8221; to a 5-week total of $471 million in domestic box office tickets alone. Add $329 million the comic book movie has already made in overseas markets, and &#8220;The Dark Knight&#8221; is a mammoth hit with $800 million in total grosses worldwide.
Besides &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221;, four other films opened over the weekend in hopes of dethroning the Dark Knight. They weren&#8217;t quite as successful. George Lucas&#8217; &#8220;Star Wars: The Clone Wars&#8221; opened in third place with $15.5 million, proving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seriously, if you aren&#8217;t laughing your ass off at everything in this international trailer for Ben Stiller&#8217;s &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221; (it&#8217;s sort of like the domestic one, plus a couple of new scenes, I think), then you&#8217;re a lost cause, because &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221; looks like it has the potential to be the funniest damn thing to come down this well-lubed pipe called Hollywood since the guys in suits figured out they could make a movie about a dead guy who two douche bags dress up and use to get in strip clubs and bars and what have you. And if the finished product doesn&#8217;t turn out nearly as hilarious (&#8221;Zoolander&#8221;, anyone?), then hey, there should be a chuckle here or there just watching Robert Downey Jr. play a guy who is playing a guy in a movie. Righteous, man.

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t think Ben Stiller&#8217;s &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221; was all that funny when I first saw the first pictures of it, but I&#8217;ll be damn if it hasn&#8217;t, slowly but surely, grown on me. First of all, just the notion of Robert Downey Jr. playing an actor who &#8220;surgically enhances&#8221; his face to look like a black man just so he can play a character in the film&#8217;s movie-within-a-movie is just downright hilarious. What, he never heard of script changes? Check out the Red Band trailer for &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221;.

[Insert thunder sound effects here] Via IESB, here are four new posters for Ben Stiller&#8217;s upcoming farcical comedy set (sort of) in the Vietnam War. There are actually three posters, with a fourth that combines the individual three posters. And yes, Robert Downey Jr. is still playing a white guy wearing black paint. Oh man, this movie is going to have me rolling in the aisles, I just know it.

		<description><![CDATA[Two more fresh looks at Ben Stiller&#8217;s return behind the camera, the movie about the movie about the Vietnam War, &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221;, have surfaced online via Rope of Silicon. And yes, one of the pictures show Robert Downey Jr. in his black paint. Man, that&#8217;s gonna cause a lot of problems, huh? I bet Stiller never anticipated all the hoopla that&#8217;s going on about it. Sounds a lot like a great gag gone terrible wrong. We&#8217;ll see as the movie&#8217;s release grows closer.

You know, the movie where Robert Downey Jr., fresh from playing heroic comic book hero in &#8220;Iron Man&#8221;, covers himself in black paint to play a white man who puts on black paint to play a black man in the movie? Um, wait, that doesn&#8217;t really make sense. Oh, whatever, check out the teaser trailer for the movie yourself below.

		<description><![CDATA[Entertainment Weekly has got your first look at Ben Stiller&#8217;s &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221;, a movie comedy/spoof that he&#8217;s directing, his first directorial gig since 2001&#8217;s kinda-crappy/kinda-funny &#8220;Zoolander&#8221;. The film was supposed to star Owen Wilson as a spoiled actor doing the &#8220;modern equivalent&#8221; of Francis Ford Coppola&#8217;s &#8220;Apocalypse Now&#8221;, but now stars Robert Downey Jr. (&#8221;Iron Man&#8221;) in face paint because, er, the original script within the movie called for a black actor in the role, so Downey Jr.&#8217;s character, being the braindead actor that he is (you know, usual actor stuff), decides to paint his face black for the role. No, seriously.
More:
Stiller got the idea for Thunder more than 20 years ago while shooting a small part in Steven Spielberg&#8217;s WWII drama Empire of the Sun. He&#8217;s continued to develop the script as his own star has risen, which makes taking on his brethren all the richer — watch for cameos from Tom Cruise and Tobey Maguire — and all [...]]]></description>
