Holy shit, thats brilliant!! by Lyghthouse	Jul 9th, 2008 12:18:11 AM
Doing a Heart of Darkness mockumentary for Tropical Thunder is completely fucking genius.
gotta admit... by blckmgk13	Jul 9th, 2008 12:24:38 AM
...I am loving the effort they put into this film more and more.
I'm Sure I'd Love It... by CHEWBLACCA	Jul 9th, 2008 12:30:06 AM
...if the fucking page loaded.
Awsome by spectrebeeyatch	Jul 9th, 2008 12:32:59 AM
Very cool. I was seeing this movie in theaters already but this put the stamp on it.
It's not a Vietnam movie, genius by CoursinLarry	Jul 9th, 2008 01:00:38 AM
It's a movie ABOUT a Vietnam movie. If anything, they've just revived the supposedly dead horse.
that's justin theroux, yeah? by BadMrWonka	Jul 9th, 2008 01:19:08 AM
that guy's brilliant, and he does this right after the john adams thing? that's inspired... great actor, he really needs to get big.

Nicht nur die Deutschen haben unserer schönen Erde Leid zugefügt. Immer dieses rumhacken auf die germans ;)
Bad_wolf is a prime candidate for a Darwin award... by blckmgk13	Jul 9th, 2008 02:22:26 AM
...given his capacity for realizing humour.
It's funny to me by kungfuhustler84	Jul 9th, 2008 02:25:22 AM
I think like half the people didn't follow the links or wathc the hilarious trailer, they just went straight to the hate on the talkbacks. So is the actual documentary going to be an extra on the DVD, or is it really going to be somehow released in theatres (maybe on the website?) , or is it just another advertisement for the movie? A lot of questions i know, but this looks promising.
yeah and Bad Wolf... by kungfuhustler84	Jul 9th, 2008 02:30:04 AM
pull that enormous swastika shuriken out of your ass and laugh dude! Germans wear socks with their sandals and have festivals like every two weeks for no reason so they can get shit faced and dance on tables. That shit's hilarious! I know because I lived there. Germans would have thought it was funny, believe me. So chill.
Who is thebearovingian... by thebearovingian	Jul 9th, 2008 02:43:45 AM
and why does no one fear him?
List of German filmmakers without Leni Riefenstahl? by Anakin Whoopass	Jul 9th, 2008 02:48:08 AM
No denying Triumph of the Will's influence on cinema.
Jörg Buttgereit ??? by Dreamseller	Jul 9th, 2008 02:57:56 AM
Are you fuckin kidding? Do you guys in the US realy think that the man is a giant??? Hes a fuckin hack who does cheap looking splatter-movies that suck big time and shows his face on every stupid talkshow he can find.
speaking about germans... by chipps	Jul 9th, 2008 03:17:49 AM
I think one may have been overlooked. A giant among directors and boxers alike. you know who i'm talking about
Subtlety is an art... by blckmgk13	Jul 9th, 2008 03:33:21 AM
...lost on the masses. "E" for effort though. Some of us are laughing.
Bad Wolf... by nascentia	Jul 9th, 2008 04:38:51 AM
Germany gave us Uwe Boll which, as far as I'm concerned, is about six times worse than the Holocaust and both World Wars, so get the sauerkraut out of your vagina and goose-step your way back to Berlin, frauline! (Humor: it's a good thing)
lol is that Justin Theroux as 'jan jurgen'? by smackfu	Jul 9th, 2008 04:41:04 AM
Seriously guys. Even if your sense of humor is completely stunted and you're not 'getting' the joke, the font for 'Rain of Madness' couldn't have been a bigger tipoff.
I'm just of the phone with Jan... by Holgi65	Jul 9th, 2008 05:01:15 AM
and je confirmed to me that he is actualy Danish. The country which gave us Dreyer and that von Trier guy, he is also a big Dane. Jan was born in Süderlügum which is near the german border, but still...
I hope this movie doesn't disappoint... by scudd	Jul 9th, 2008 07:48:10 AM
...because right now my expectations for it are really high. I can't remember laughing at trailers and promo material for a movie this much.
I'll say it again - asspump Leni Riefenstahl by JackRabbitSlim	Jul 9th, 2008 09:36:27 AM
To paraphrase Samuel L. "I hope she bitch burns in hell". For Yaweh's sake, she most likely had sex with Adolf. For that alone, nevermind the "Gee - i didn't notice all the extras were taken from concentration camps", she will be excoriated every time the skeezy bitch is mentioned.
God Damn You! by Darth Sticky	Jul 9th, 2008 10:07:59 AM

So this is like "Hearts of Darkness" by Laserhead	Jul 9th, 2008 10:11:33 AM
for Tropic Thunder? That's brilliant.
all this meta-textuality confuses me by Cedar_Room	Jul 9th, 2008 10:31:48 AM
not the idea of the documentary - which looks brilliant and surely already makes the dvd for tropic thunder worth buying now? - but whether people's reactions are fake reactions to the fake doc OR whether some people are just thick as pigshit and humour is completely lost on them. This looks brilliant, Tropic Thunder looks brilliant, Steve Coogan to rule the world!!
Tropic Thunder looks awesome by Captain RawBeard	Jul 9th, 2008 10:40:52 AM
After its Cinema release I will eagerly awaiting for the DVD release of this film. I have a feeling its going to be packed full of juicy goodness.
"Germans have always brought the planet a bunch of grief" by HoboCode	Jul 9th, 2008 10:47:02 AM
Arschloch.
That was well done by jamestewart007	Jul 9th, 2008 10:50:09 AM
Just like those trees. "I just beat Nature today" awesome.
The awards are the best part by ebolamonkey	Jul 9th, 2008 12:52:32 PM
I want an Honorable Mention from the Everyone's a Winner Film Festival.
Wolfgang Peterson by joet88	Jul 9th, 2008 02:24:48 PM
Good movies but Herzog Fassbinder and Wenders are of a different breed
... by joet88	Jul 9th, 2008 02:26:26 PM
I guess he didn't mention Herzog or Fassbinder. But Murnau and Lubitsch are also of a different breed
love it or hate it by toxicbuddha	Jul 9th, 2008 03:13:42 PM
if u didn't at least chuckle at the "Honorable Mention" from the "Everybody's A Winner Film Festival", then you have no soul.
It's like when you videotape a TV that's hooked up to the camera by Maxer	Jul 9th, 2008 04:39:21 PM
Infinity loop.
