Just got back from Tropic Thunder

[seriousfic]

Plot bunny: Kirk Lazarus has been contracted to play Tony Stark (in the Iron Man universe; he's not replacing Robert Downey Jr.). Kirk getting into character will drive Tony out of his mind.

Sample line: I look nothing like him. Just look at him, Pepper! ...his sunglasses are stupid. Mine are cool. Look, who wears Ray-Bans anymore?

...so does this mean that "Tropic Thunder" was...passable?

Or will you keep us waiting in suspense?

Not as funny as Pineapple Express, but better than most of the shit that passes for comedy that has been or will be coming out this year.

(Seriously, could College want to be Superbad any harder?)

Well, except for The Spirit. That'll be funnier than God if God were a stand-up comedian and Jesus were his bandman.

Oh man! I saw the trailer for College and all I could think was that somebody smushed Superbad and PCU together and then took out all the funniness.
