Whose Movie Is It Anyway?
Maybe I am just showing the hypersensitivity of a child whose parents are getting a divorce but who are still living under the same roof. But I keep getting the feeling that there is a weird internal battle going on over the last child the ‘rents expect to be together to release, Tropic Thunder. Today’s entry in weird:
August 11, 2008 - Westwood, CA.
DreamWorks Pictures hosts the Los Angeles Premiere of TROPIC THUNDER held at the Mann Village Theatre
This, of course, was in an e-mail sent by Paramount.
There is also no sign of Paramount on the trailer or the website. (There are, however, lead quotes from Pete Travers and Ben Lyons… a sign of horrible trouble for any movie.)
There must be a story. I don’t really want to be the one to tell the story right now. But breakin’ up is hard to do…

It's ok, but could've been better. (On a 4 star scale I would've gone 2.5). It's meant to be satirical, but it just comes across as offensive.
I did note that the EPK was through paramount, not dreamworks.

Ben Lyons is fast becoming a name I hate, but which I know nearly nothing about, except through comments here and on other sites. He's my new Satan by hearsay. A Hear-Satan.

I've been ragging on Tropic Thunder but I will go see it.
