opps out of credits. restart game.

I haven't been doing much these past few days, gaming, meeting with old friends, gaming...
I'm really drained, many stuff has lead to me feeling like a dick over and over again. This is pathethic, I didn't visualize the holidays to turn out like this.

I managed to catch Tropic Thunder a few days back though its M18. You have to catch the plotline in order to enjoy it.
Well, the movie is about the making of a movie which is based on a fictional book in the movie. However, the actor acting as the director of the movie then decides to film the movie by putting the actors in a real situation facing Heroin-farming Vietnamese rebels, so the actors think they are in a movie but actually, they are just in a bunch of deepshit. So... Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, Jack Black and whoever... are acting as actors.
The laughs? Way too many to name. The entry sequence by which some Vietcong soldier charges up in front and eviscerates this actor and you are greeted by his stomach being split open to reveal....SAUSAGES. He then starts moaning and playing with his own guts spewing out and still lamenting in a retarded voice, "what is in this stuff??"
Jack Black facing his imaginary Heroin addiction in the movie, by which he stoops to many ridiculous means to satisfy his desires. Followed by slow-mo shots of him screaming "MY ASS!" which by all means double the hilarity extent.
Robert Downey Jr who is acting as a man acting as a black man who is acting as a man (I'm confusing myself too). He depicts a method actor who is unable to break his role under any circumstances even though they are in life threatening situations. The results? Comedy to the maximum.
Ben Stiller, the star of the movie in the movie, the jokes are based on the fact that he dosen't know that he is in knee deep worth of trouble, and still thinks that they are filming and the cameras are rolling which causes him to execute exagerrated forms of heroics in front the rebels. The rebels think these Americans as suicidal as they do not fear death and laugh at it in its face.
Picture this... the rebels are shooting at the actors and out pops Ben Stiller commando style! He does a series of ground rolls and pops in front of them, fires his weapon John Rambo way. He hurls a dud grenade at the rebels and the explosives technician 5 miles away activates the c4 that are attached to the trees. Rebels are beaten and scared shitless by them.

I can't exactly explain how funny it is, you'd probably have to watch it yourself.
