I was fortunate enough to see an advanced screening of Tropic Thunder last night, and it was fantastic. The one thing that really stood out for me though was that Writer/Director/Actor Ben Stiller must be a Gizmodo fan – there were gadget references everywhere.
Without spoiling too much, let’s just say that TiVo plays a big part, as do satellite phones and private jets. Plus there’s a rather lengthy explanation on why Blu-ray won the format war (yep – porn and the PS3), which you wouldn’t normally associate with a movie set in a jungle.
Definitely worth checking out when it launches next week.
