    ONE good line: (paraphrased): Never go full re tard. (apparently that is a censored word)

    THAT was classic. Other than that? Puke-worthy.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        I would disagree with The Departed, but that is a hot topic around these parts.

        I will say, even for the people who hated The Departed, they finished the movie. I can't say the same for me and Tropic Thunder. I can sadly say the same for Nothing But Trouble, which I regret to this day.

              I like Nothing But Trouble. But yes, they didn't know how to end it. It's Holy Grail-level weak ending.

                YES! Except Holy Grail was actually a classic until the ending.

                  Um wasn't Tropic Thunder a farce or at least satire? I don't know if The Departed is the worst, but it's easily Top 5 while TT isn't even in the running.

                    The Departed is fine...Tropic Thunder was awful. I saw it for free and wanted my money back.

                          I had no idea.

                          This would have been a wonderful film, given the director/writer. A3 is actually pretty good as it is, but I really respect Vincent Ward for The Navigator and would have enjoyed this immensely. Plus, David Twohy is a bit of a putz.

                            IIRC, I somewhat enjoyed Tropic Thunder when it first came out, but I was 21, and probably drunk. I doubt it would hold up as well with a sober repeat viewing.

                                It's a fun movie if you're not trying to take it seriously. Go into it with a Zoolander mindset, and you'll enjoy it.
