Daring and Awesome!

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2008)

I have just seen a movie that's so awesome it raises awesomeness to a whole new level then proceeds to be so awesome that it raises awesomeness from that new level to another new level of awesomeness and proceeds to do this until I found myself in awesome heaven.
This movie is Ben Stiller's daring, imaginative, original, intelligent, clever, witty, biting satire on Hollywood. This gut-bustingly hilarious masterwork of sheer brilliance dares to subvert Hollywood expectations resulting in a daring, imaginative, original, intelligent, clever, witty, biting satire on Hollywood.
Ben Stiller provides a film that challenges our rosy view of Hollywood by radically suggesting that studio execs are fat, balding idiots whose reading doesn't extend beyond MAXIM. He also suggests that method actors sometimes go too far. He also dares to suggest that Hollywood actors may be exploitative in their approach to playing mentally special people and their reasons for doing so. He also dares to suggest that war movies are far too fake and glorifying, and that booty-obsessed rappers may be closet homosexuals.
I, of course, am utterly STUNNED. I could never have seen these things without Ben Stiller telling me about them.
People, I'm telling you, Ben Stiller is such an auteur to the power of awesome that he is so legendary in terms of auterness that he makes Melville, Godard, Chabrol, Rivette, Moretti, and McG look like the cinema's worst hacks.
This film also features awesome-bar-raising masterpieces of action to rival only Chuck Norris' cinematic masterpiece "Delta Force", and countless sight gags so original and brilliant and well-staged that they make Tati look like Jerry Lewis post-1965.
"Tropic Thunder" will become a legendary masterpiece of awesome for daring to mock Hollywood in a completely original manner and by pointing out things I never would have thought of before. This is so awesome in all its awesome glory that I was laughing non-stop, and I laughed hardest during the Lance Bass cameo! "Tropic Thunder" achieves a new plateau in comedy film-making. It takes the greatest comedy of all time and then awesomely blows it into chunks then spills the contents of its head. A week after the horrendous "Pineapple Express", which was just about talking and tried to be in several genres at once (how stupid!), "Tropic Thunder" provides awesome action and biting satire like no other.
10/10
