Steve/Tony drawing - Also, I saw Tropic Thunder (no plot spoilers)

First off, here’s a little picture of Tony and Steve in the morning – man, I LOVE drawing bedhead!




Tony as coffee addict is my friend.

Also, I went to see Tropic Thunder last night. It’s worth your eight dollars. Not surprisingly, RDJ absolutely walks away with the movie – this is his, “That’s right, bitches, I can play ANYTHING!” role. Not only does he do the blackface thing (complete with quotes from the Jefferson’s theme song), but he also plays *that* character masquerading as an Asian man (who can’t speak his own language), and under all THAT, he’s an Aussie with impossibly watery blue eyes. Seriously, imagine Jensen Ackles acting a scene in which Dean discovers that Sam has drowned in a swamp, while locked in the Impala – now imagine MORE teary-eyed than that.

Jack Black was also surprisingly hilarious as a crude actor known for fart jokes, who spends the film withdrawing from heroin. If you see this movie for one reason (other than RDJ) see it for the scene where Jack Black begs to be tied to a tree, then begs to be untied. I’m not a huge JB fan, but he did really well in this.

The weak link is the movie’s writer/director/star, Ben Stiller. He starts off well, then once he gets separated from his acting troop, dissolves into the same surreal idiotic man child role he always plays. If you like Zoolander type humor, you’ll like Stiller’s scenes. I don’t, but thankfully, every time it starts to get annoying, we go back to RDJ and Jack Black.

If you go, get there on time – you don’t want to miss the fake trailers, especially RDJ and Toby McGuire as monks in love in the Brokeback spoof, “Satan’s Alley”. One of the biggest laughs in the movie.

Tony as a coffee addict is a friend to us all in your hands. *glees*

the trailer for that film made me want to pluck my eyes out. i have a huge loathing for Ben Stiller, which didn't help.

I almost started tearing up at the thought of Sam drowning in the Impala :)

For Tony, Coffee before sex. We all know it.

Ben Stiller sucks in, like, 90% of his movies, and most of his antics in this film are grating, but also mostly brief. RDJ and Jack Black save the movie, and every moment they weren't on screen, I waited for them to return. I liked it, but it's not for everyone. You have to be in a silly mood.

I'm convinced Jensen Ackles realized he was destin for the screen when he discoved he had a rare condition that caused his eyes to tear up MASSIVLY everytime something dramatic happened around him. And nothing would cause that more than the double whammy loss of Sam + Impala.

Thanks so much for checking out my drawing, hon. *smishes back*
