Tropic Thunder Comp, Now With Director's Chair

Australian Post Posted by Nick Broughall at 2:33 PM on August 20, 2008

directors chair_rdp.jpgI told you Stiller was a Giz fan! Now he's Paramount are giving three lucky Giz readers a chance to go and see the film with a "brutha" as well as a limited edition Tropic Thunder director's chair that you can paint your own name on (or the name of the site that you won it from).

To enter, we're going to make it quite simple: simply tell us in 25 words or less why you want to see the film in comments - I'll judge the best three winners next Monday! The funnier the better people!

Due to work only I see 1 or 2 movies a year, the last one I was forced to see was Mamma Mia – Help Me!

Ben Stiller sucks. I don't want to go see his movie. I will take a free directors chair though...

I'd like to see the film, I'll take the missus, because she loves Ben Stiller; maybe she will listen to his education on gadget appreciation!

I want to see the way us Aussies are going to be acting in 50 years time when we all get skin grafts and try to be African - Americans.

I would like to see Tropic Thunder as looks like the best Robert Downey Jr. movie since ‘Hearts and Souls’.

As if Ben Stiller's expression on the movie poster isn't enough reason to watch this movie

Coz Chuck Norris told me so. You try defying the Norris roundhouse kick to the head, then tell me otherwise.

It's Ben Stiller.
And Jack Black.
Kung Fu Panda meets There's Something About Mary and Iron Man.
What could go wrong?

If that link doesn't make you want to watch the movie. You don't deserve it.

I love that they poke so much fun at themselves.

I need Gizmo to give me tickets to see this.. It's my only hope.
My GF has shite tastes in movies, but I don't have the heart to tell her..

my girl friend keeps saying how "sexy and charming" robert downey jr. is since ironman... so so annoying, hope this movie would shut her up

School of Rock, Zoolander and Iron Man - Will it Blend? I'm getting some kind of tropical rash just thinking about it!

Baked Beans + Pineapple * Humidity = Tropic Thunder

A three-way battle between the men after my heart, all staring together for my own sick amusement. This movie makes my weird dreams come true.

I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, "Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?" She said. "No. I hate myself now.
I need some filmage to clear that one from my mind...

And another quote because it's funny... (Gizmodo, let me see for myself that all the good quotes aren't in the commercials!)

[Tugg has just killed a panda]
Tugg Speedman: I killed one, Rick... the thing I love most in the world.
Rick Peck: A hooker. Oh Jesus, you killed a hooker!

Hasn't this been done before? You know the scenario where actors thinking that the reality they are acting in is safe and that the bad guys are following a script?

It is old hat and using the word 'retard' is like 'spaz' being used in other movies... BFD.

Because I love watching americans make fools of themselves. (don't we all?)
