Tropic Thunder Protests - Retarded

Yeah, I said it, all of those protests by/for the folks with "developmental opportunities" against the movie Tropic Thunder were f'n retarded.

Really.


I saw the movie a couple weeks back. I am still giggling about parts of it. I am amazed that more groups didn't feel the need to protest the film. I am kinda left thinking that some overly opportunistic organizer for a retard rights group put everybody up to the marching and interviews.

Tropic Thunder doesn't pull many punches, when it comes to making Hollywood folks look dumb - not the retards. It makes Jewish businessmen look pretty ugly, in one of Tom Cruise's best performances to date. There is the white guy, Robert Downey, playing an Australian who is playing a black guy - an effort which might have pissed of the NAACP and Russel Crowe. Frankly, I am surprised that SAG actors wanted to be in the film because it makes you think that they might generally be outwitted by retards.


Tropic Thunder is offensive in the same way that Blazing Saddles was offensive. It sets out to make every character an extreme caricature, pulling out the shitty slime that exists in all of our stomachs and showcasing it for amusement.

In fact, the only character in the whole movie that does not get made into a contemptible ass is the retarded kid.


Tropic Thunder is funny.
It is a comedy.
There is no need to over-think the story.
There is no need to be retarded about it.
