But it's awesome. Just awesome. Actually surprised me. Saw it with a bunch of friends including a friends father, who is a Veteran. Great movie, and the rare case of a 'vietnam' film that could actually be laughed with.

I recognize that there's some controversial elements to the movie that one can complain about, but really it's about friendship. And how most everyone in Hollywood is an idiot.

Don't judge me!!!!!

I'm a lead farmer.

Just 'cause it's a theme song don't make it not true.

And now, I'm trying to imagine the awesomeness that would occur if Kirk Lazarus were cast in a movie version of Forever Knight.

He would have to have animal blood or something delivered to him so he could totally immerse himself in the true hunger. And perhaps spend a year working as a beat cop.

And the next thing you know, I'm in an alley trying to re-enter the atmosphere in a refrigerator.

I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!

Yes. That or he would become an actual vampire if such were possible.

He'd probably join one of those poser vampire cults, to "live amongst" them, then throw a fit and abandon them a week in because they aren't authentic enough.

This is one of those rare films that has you laughing so hard, you miss some of the jokes. I might have to go see it again.

I'm going to get the DVD. One can only hope the commentary features RDJ in character as Kirk Lazarus in character as Lincoln Osiris.

I ended up seeing it a second time with my cousins today, and I did pick up on some things I missed before.

Like the first time, I thought Jeff had thrown something at the bat and killed it. But no: it ODed!!!

I saw that it had picked the packet, so when it came back, I didn't even realize it had died yet. Though I sure knew why he was chewing on it...

I saw it for the second time today, and, yeah, it's pretty hilarious.

I fucking LOVED it. Saw it yesterday and laughed my ass off.

And yes - it truly is about how everyone in Hollywood is an idiot. :D (The fake trailers!!!)

It's too bad we'll never do a Tropic Thunder multi-crossover ficathon. Even though I love the movie=within=movie genre.
