Tropic Tunder: My Review!

Tropic Thunder is truly a comedy like no other which I admire for It's individuality. This film's very sole reason for existence is to make fun of Hollywood and the way it does business. That alone is well worth the ticket price even if it was bad. Was it?To tell you the truth, I liked it. For several reasons.

First aspect I like was the characters. Robert downy Jr. plays a Australian actor who happens to undergo surgery to become a African American. This character sort of reminds me of a middle aged Bill Cosby with a slightly deeper voice. But not by much.

Second aspect is the humor. It's goofy with a pinch of morbidly dark humor. It's not that dark like south park and Christopher reeves sucking the stem cells out of fetuses. Or should I say, it's no clerks 2. But expect some of it to be a tad fucked up.

Anyhow, It was a good movie, and I recommend anybody with a general sense of humor should see. Only negative to bring to the plate is the films drags midway into the film. But rest assured, It will definably pick up. The end is a good part indeed.

Rating: ***1/2

The News Can Be Violent

Have you ever wondered why the daily news can be outright violent? Am I the only one, the personally See's the news more as a circus show, or visual entertainment, other than simply informing us? Why can't the news be more straight foreword, rather than utilized subliminal scare tactics, and overly dramatic words to convey a event?

Why? That is where the money is. People prefer the news to be perverse entertainment covering Death, destruction, chaos, sex, drugs, and constantly reminding scared mother's about potential pedophiles and ways they can get a chance to molest their daughters or sons. People are really attracted to bad News and the American audiences who love the news can be considered somewhat masochists.

And you know what's really fucked up, the Media loved 9/11. Because the more powerful the disaster, the more money they make from sponsors. During the events of a disaster, media outlets across the globe go into a all out coverage war. The winner, which covered more of that specific event gets more sponsors.

I have made a lot of controversial statements. But there is some truth to what I have said even if you are not aware of the specific dangers of the news. I dare you to watch the news tonight, local preferably, and count how much violent descriptive language and creepy images you seen. Then determine if you want to let a four year old watch the news. Or read this CNN News Story.

This brought tears to my eyes.
