Tropic Thunder opened recently and, while I haven’t seen the movie yet, it interests me mainly because Robert Downey Jr. is the kind of chameleon-like actor I enjoy watching and I’d like to see how he handles this semi-controversial blackface thing.
Also appearing in the film are Jack Black - whose flame is really dying out quickly - and Ben Stiller who, at one point in his acting life, actually seemed funny. Frankly I believe there’s a physiological reason behind Ben losing his humorous chops. It’s called piscopoing. Ben Stiller has piscopoed.
