That's the impression I got also. I saw a preview where Downey's character is with a black guy that knows Downey isn't really black and Downey makes a reference to black folks' struggle or something as "our" struggle and the real black guy just looks at him like .

I thought the movie was about actors, and he is an actor staying in character...or something like that.

JustErin said:

Yeah, the actors are filming a war movie, but then it gets mistaken for a real war somewhere along the lines, I think.

I doesn't matter to me. I don't watch comedies anyway.

sextonseven said:

This one is supposed to be quite funny. I'll see what my friends think after seeing it...then I will decide whether to see it in the theater or d/l it online.

In general most comedies do suck, but the last movie friends told me I just had to see turned out to be hilarious.

And Sethy-poo was in it so ya, awesome.

JustErin said:

Comedies have to be really dark for me to like them. Like Ghost World or Buffalo 66. Juno wasn't bad either. Slapstick stuff is a total turnoff for me.

sextonseven said:

Yes, I hate slapstick as well.

sextonseven said:

Ghost World was awesome!!!!

Stymie said:

Best Scarlett Johansson movie ever.

sextonseven said:

Indeed. And both her and Thora have awesome rakcs.

sextonseven said:

oooo yeah, Buffalo 66, I liked that, I was trying to remember the name of it a few days ago, haven't seen it in like 3 years. Hey, I like slapstick, it has it's place in the scheme of things.

Ben Stiller...

morningsong said:

Buffalo 66 had me ROFL! I normally don't do that.

Slapstick comedies in general just seem dumb to me. Too dumb to laugh at.

sextonseven said:

It was funny and very odd, but that's a good thing cause it was a fresh idea that worked.

what can I say some of the dumb stuff has an element in them that I on some level connect with and it makes it hilarious. There are a lot though, especially the stuff the rely heavily on the gross/vulgar factor that I just don't get. To each his own I guess.

This is why I said I thought you were the most like me on the org.

sextonseven said:

I had to think about it too when I typed the .

yeah so i just saw it and it was fucking amazing!

offensive, over the top, violent, and just bloody fantastic.

i'd love to see that again

InsatiableCream said:

I want to see it now.

morningsong said:

It always cracks me up when he says this in the radio ad.

I'm considering seeing it.

Ben Stiller

InsatiableCream said:

they were bitching up a storm on NPR about how they use the word retard like 88 times or something

Is it just me or dies Jack Black look exactly like Brian Dennehey with the blond do?

I actually kinda wanna see this. I wanna see Mirrors even more though. Movies drain so much out of me financially when more than one comes out at the same time.

I was listening to a radio interview with Ben Stiller this morning about this movie. It sounds like it's going to be pretty funny but I'll still probably wait until it comes to DVD.
