Stiller's War

This shit looks hilarious! Check out this teaser for Ben Stiller's next directorial effort, Tropic Thunder. His career hits and misses are a bit too seismic to be considered lasting. But in isolated doses, Stiller is tough to top.

A synopsis for those of you too lazy to retrieve speakers from the basement...

Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. lead an ensemble cast in "Tropic Thunder," an action comedy about a group of self-absorbed actors who set out to make the most expensive war film ever. After ballooning costs force the studio to cancel the movie, the frustrated director refuses to stop shooting leading his cast into the jungles of Southeast Asia, where they end up knee deep in the shit.

Who the fuck knows how much marketing leeway they'll get with the usage of "shit" in promotional materials, but here's hoping it expands to theater marquees nationwide.

Finally, a war worth fighting: Stiller's War.

Brought to you by the people who maimed the Oscar by creating The Bucho.

"too lazy to retrieve speakers from the basement..." It's feng shui. Key the music for "If You Don't Know Me by Now."

High concept scares me.

Wait a second. J. Dot - does this qualify as high concept? I don't want to throw around Hollywood terms without checking with your first.

Semi-Pro didn't do too good, huh?
