It tends to grind the comedy (and the satire) to a halt.<BR/><BR/>Though Downey, Jr. clearly is channelling Fred Williamson, he's not actually satirizing Williamson. He is definitely making fun of Russell Crowe though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-15806226788618948112008-07-31T19:30:00.000-07:002008-07-31T19:30:00.000-07:00Jeez, all this Oscar talk about comedies and comic...Jeez, all this Oscar talk about comedies and comic book movies. <BR/><BR/>Matt, I think Robert Downey Jr. is one of the best actors of our time. And if he's truly off the stuff, he deserves an Oscar just for getting himself clean and sober and continuing with a brilliant career. It would be ironic that he would receive it for a comic piece... although I would say that what makes Downey so good is his ability to weave comedy into every role.<BR/><BR/>Garrett,<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't be surprised if those stories are true. I had heard of Val Kilmer doing that during The Doors. No one was to refer to him as anything but Jim Morrison. Give me a break. I'm surprised this spoof hasn't been done before.PIPERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054305230216613759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-21654265909294097532008-07-31T13:15:00.000-07:002008-07-31T13:15:00.000-07:00To quote Gary Coleman: "What you talkin' about, Wi...To quote Gary Coleman: "What you talkin' about, Willis?"<BR/><BR/>The word is euxlaq, by the way - isn't that a form of laxative?Captain Incrediblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323291069792029946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-12556955621538237682008-07-31T09:36:00.000-07:002008-07-31T09:36:00.000-07:00I do think that we are getting too PC.

Which is the genius of the entire thing. They have taken a truly absurd concept and play it totally straight and respectful, which makes the setup even funnier.<BR/><BR/>If you think Ledger's performance was Oscar worthy, wait till you get a load of Downey Jr. It's the best comedic performance I have ever seen and I don't think it is even close.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-84451278584925852502008-07-31T05:02:00.000-07:002008-07-31T05:02:00.000-07:00I don't see the controversy of a white actor who s...I don't see the controversy of a white actor who says he can play any part - even if it's African American.<BR/><BR/>The last legitimate complaint I remember was when Memoirs of a Geisha was released and the two lead parts - both Japanese - went to nonJapanese actresses, Zhang Ziyi (China) and Michelle Yeoh (Malaysia).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-11411744938341984972008-07-30T20:18:00.000-07:002008-07-30T20:18:00.000-07:00It seems silly that there would be controversy ove...It seems silly that there would be controversy over this. I honestly thought it was making light of the Daniel day Lewis's / Christian bale's in that they never break character while filming a movie.I realized he was black but never felt like it was a sensitive subject. BTw, no idea if that's 100% true on Lewis and bale breaking character but I've heard that.

Downey's character/performance could say many smart things about identity, sensitivity, ego... or, it could totally flop and fall on it's face.<BR/><BR/>One thing I'm sure of (I think) is that Stiller and Downey don't seem to be out to shock or push buttons or be politically incorrect <I>just</I> to be politically incorrect.

I don't have a problem with Downey here or the Wayans bros in White Chicks - my only problem is that there was apparently no "controversy" when Chicks was released.<BR/><BR/>He's not playing a black man. He's playing an Australian actor nuts enough to play a black man. Maybe we should direct some ire towards them damn Aussies... ;)Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.com
