Quote HistoryQuoted: I would like to know who the real person the Les Grossman character is based on. There is no way they would actually name him since I am sure he is wealthy, powerful, and is just as big of an asshole. They would get the whole ‘scorched earth’ speech from the guys lawyer. "Many have speculated that Tom Cruise based his performance as a vulgar movie mogul on Sumner Redstone. He and Cruise had a public falling out after Redstone had Paramount Pictures terminate their development deal with Cruise. His physical appearance was more than likely based on this movie's producer, Stuart Cornfeld." IMDB Trivia https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942385/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trv |

The legacy of this film is bittersweet as it shows us both highest highs of human achievement while reminding us how far we have fallen since that glorious apogee.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The legacy of this film is bittersweet as it shows us both highest highs of human achievement while reminding us how far we have fallen since that glorious apogee. We will probably get there again. Unless we all kill each other first. We just have to get to a place where the Karen’s and mental cases can be blown out an airlock without consequence. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Some on Arfcom like to talk s**t about him because he's "weird". but he's great at what he does. Damn hard working actor who's played a lot of great roles. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I had no fucking idea that Les Grossman was played by Tom Cruise. Great fucking movie. Some on Arfcom like to talk s**t about him because he's "weird". but he's great at what he does. Damn hard working actor who's played a lot of great roles. Cruise tends to play similar characters which relief on his natural charisma. Downey does the same thing. In TT, they both proved they could act outside their standard character type. The fact so many people had trouble recognizing Cruise is high praise. |

So, I have the basic DVD of this.
What is the best version to have on blu-ray? I basically want every trailer, version, extended scenes, commentary, etc. in the best definition. At some point in man’s post apocalyptic future, I want it found in my ancient, hidden buried bunker, Where it becomes the basis for and site off a new religion that saves mankind and drives a renassiance out of the future dark ages. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Liked Jack Black in the movie but the scene where he was tied to tree? was the worst part of the movie Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: No mention of Jack Black working the pipe? Let’s do this! Liked Jack Black in the movie but the scene where he was tied to tree? was the worst part of the movie JB almost ruined the movie. Luckily there was enough talent to smooth it over. Jack Black is a C list hack who identifies as an actor and musician. I’m a big fan. It’s almost inspirational how he willed himself into becoming a “star”. |

The guy does have talent when he's given a role that isn't "just be Jack Black, it'll be hilarious". He absolutely killed it in Bernie, for example. But he's one of those guys who is so distinctive it's hard to separate his character from himself, like Seth Rogan but with talent hiding underneath. |

I think this may be the only movie I've ever stopped watching as it was just too stupid.
I even made it through Idiocracy even though it was painfully stupid. |

I always found Ferrell consistently unfunny until Step Brothers. That was one of the few times I legitimately LOLed. |

I’m no expert and I haven’t stayed at a Holiday Inn lately but i bought a Tropic Thunder DVD on Amazon the other day. I had it narrowed down to 2 offerings. One offering was a 2 disc set containing one 4k “Theatrical” DVD and one BluRay “Directors Cut” DVD for $25. The other offering I had it narrowed down to was a single BluRay Directors cut DVD for $14. This is what I chose. For me the unedited version and extras on the BluRay were more important. The Theatrical version will have edits and probably none of the extras that you want. The Directors Cut will have the extras. Interviews, outtakes, and not chopped up and edited. You mentioned you wanted highest quality video. I did not see a 4k Directors Cut offering but I might have overlooked it. @ramairthree |
