One of my favorite parts of Tropic Thunder was Tom Cruise as Hollywood Mogul Les Grossman. Cruise even earned a Golden Globe nomination for his comedic performance - who woulda thought?

Dreamworks has launched their Best Supporting Actor campaign for Kirk Lazarus, the character that Robert Downey Jr plays in Tropic Thunder.

Caution: Spoilers everywhere. Whatever. Tropic Thunder didn't meet expectations. It's not an abortion in a beard like Clone Wars, but it wimped out. For some reason---probably due to the red band trailer and months of exposure to incredibly positive buzz---many hoped Ben Stiller would redeem himself and categorically skewer the Ben Stiller who will soon…

[THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS FOR TROPIC THUNDER. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED] One of my favorite films this summer is Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder.
