If loving Robert Downey Jr is wrong, then we don't want to be right. The new trailer online here for the Ben Stiller-directed comedy Tropic Thunder is absolutely the funniest thing we've seen this year and Downey Jr's performance as an actor so overly into his craft that he undergoes surgery to be able to play a black man is hitting new levels of hilarious wrongness.
The writing seems to be top notch ("What do YOU mean 'you people'") and the actual action direction looks solid too. There's a shed load of talent involved here and everything we hear on this is positive, so we're adding this to the very long list of '2008 Movies We're Really Excited To See'. We may have to start a new piece of paper.
