It's all about the craft (and the catering)

I highly recommend Tropic Thunder. Very well done satire (not a spoof - there's a difference) with teeth. Essentially, this is a heavily armed Christopher Guest movie. Robert Downey Jr. is having the summer of his professional life - Iron Man and now this controversial but ultimately very funny and deft role. (I wish I could see it with Russell Crowe and see what he thinks. I imagine he'd either be very flattered or very pissed off. Probably the latter; you don't hurl telephones around if you're inclined to thank people.)

And it's much, much better than Zoolander. Seriously, Zoolander? Am I the only person in the world who likes Ben Stiller but was considerably underwhelmed by that movie?

Welcome back to the game, Ben.
