DISQUS

Filmonic: Tropic Thunder Offends People

  • Dr. Ted Baehr · 1 year ago
    As founder and chief writer for MOVIEGUIDE, and as president of the Christian Film & Television Commission, I have been invited to a pre-screening of the film TROPIC THUNDER, and believe me, it is excellent!

    At first I had my doubts, certainly. I did not think that this film would have the redeeming Christian qualities and family-friendly thematic elements that would warrant a +4 WHOLESOME rating on my website of www.movieguide.org

    The producers understood my concerns, dashed off a generous check to my subsidiary (KAIROS Marketing Group) and now I am proud to highly recommend TROPIC THUNDER to families of all ages! It is well-written, hilarious, and loaded with adventure and great scenes.

    Go see it! Twice!

    Okay, forgive the language, but are people so freaking RETARDED that they cant see the difference between a film that truly *does* offend the mentally diabled and a film that's making *fun* of films that offend the mentally disabled? I know, it's a big leap in comprehension, but gosh, give it a try!

    As for the protesters -- trust me, guys: there are plenty of legitimate targets out there. But to beat up something like TROPIC THUNDER which, if you look deeper than the surface, is actually on *your* side, seems more than a little ungrateful.

    This is stupid. Carlos Mencia makes fun of retards and doesnt get shit for it, but people want to single out this movie? YOU PEOPLE ARE RETARDED. Suck my balls. If you have a problem with what I said, take it up with me.

    Retards are funny. People don't have to watch the movie.
