False Alarm
Here's the trailer for Tropic Thunder, the upcoming comedy starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Nick Nolte and Robert Downey Jr, who, as you can see, is featured in blackface.
We've been worrying for a couple weeks that the blackface element might ruin a perfectly bad movie, but – and we're loath to admit this – we kinda, sorta don't mind it anymore. We even giggled at the line, "Man, just because it's a theme song don't make it not true."
Crisis: what to hate on now? Where's our steadfast indignation? How about we get disgusted about a war comedy during actual wartime? Yeah, that's the ticket. War isn't funny.

It does look good however Ive been disappointed by trailers before. ie they show the best part to lure you and then the rest of the movie really sucks
Cord, are you softening with age? Someone has been a little happy lately. It's starting to freak me out.
WANT!
off topic and just curious - did anyone else see Doomsday?
Did you see it, aa? I'd like to but have to choose my movies wisely since I don't get to go out very much. I'd hate to waste it on a sucky movie.
Hmm, I don't think so. You can only get away with something as offensive as blackface if you are hilarious and irreverent (i.e., South Park or Richard Pryor). Downey just doesn't have it in him, methinks.
