Tropical Thunder.
Apparently, this is causing some black folk\'s emotions. They feel the black guy should be played by someone else.

tsk tsk, post the story and neglect to include the punch-line.
-
The guy in the middle is Robert Downey Jr.
-
someone fill me in
-
Yeah saw this today.
Seriously....
why?
I know downey is a good actor and all but if you want a fuckin\' black guy there are plenty of fucking good black actors.
I really think this is a fucking joke.
-
He\'s not playing a black guy.
He\'s playing a white guy dying his skin in the actual movie. No big deal.
-
I didn\'t even know that was downey,....i was about to say "well as long as they don\'t kill him first it\'s all good!..:thumb:"....but i don\'t know,..is this supposed to be comedy or a serious war flick?....if it\'s the latter, then yea i think they could\'ve found a decent black actor,....it\'s no big deal, but it\'s just kind of puzzling if they went that route....
-
Geez, I dont know if I coulda used the word "fuck" more in my previous post if I tried.
-
Obviously Jack Black should be the black guy. It\'s in his name for Gods sake!
And it\'s also a comedy... I wouldn\'t want to watch a serious movie with JB and BS. *shudders*
From IMDB: Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying.

It would be like the 1920s all over again.

Jumpman said it earlier that he\'s supposed to be a white guy playing a black guy. I did a quick wiki search. The whole premise of the movie is they are actors who are filming a war movie. Their director gets fed up with them and just leaves them in an actual war zone. They are acting as being actors in a war situation. Its actually kind of a funny plot. I may have to check it out.

Sounds a little like this..

Almost. But I like the concept of Tropical Thunder more.
-
He\'s more black than quddus (who really isn\'t black but pretends to be).
-

The movie White Chicks showed that doesn\'t work very well.
