16. Stiller must be hoping to do the intentionally funny movie version of L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth.

18. I SAW TROPIC THUNDER TONIGHT. FUNNY/GOOD FILM. ALL ACTORS WWERE GREAT. I JUST THINK IT'S DUMB TO PUT DOWN OTHER ACTORS BY SAYING THERE NOT AS FAMOUS AS SOME OTHER (TMZ) WHY? JUST BECAUSE TOM & KATIE ALWAYS GET PHOTOGRAPHED BEN STILLER IS MUCH AS A GREAT ACTOR AS TOM SO TMZ SHOULD SHUT THE FREAK UP

19. It is very upsetting to see Suri shield her own eyes like that. She is obviously in fear of the cameras flashing in her eyes. And all the yelling. As parents they should be ashamed of themselves. What amazes me is how when Suri was born they keep everything SOOOO quite . What is th purpose of a silent birth (Odd in itself) if as a toddler she is subjected to this kind of behavior on the part of her parents.

20. I just think it's kinda strange that they went through the whole hulla-bulloo about having the 'silent birth' in order not to traumatize the child, but they now drag her out into pap frenzies morning, noon, and night. Aren't they worried about body thetans anymore??? Slack, really slack.

22. i didn't even see that: "eat dinner with people more famous than you." that was really cruel...i'd watch ben stiller over tom cruise any day! who cares who is more famous? i know i don't...

23. I can't get over these people. Scientology teaches that children are to be treated like little adults who already know everything, so they take her to a freakin' sushi restaurant way past what SHOULD BE her bedtime, don't read children's books to her, don't protect her from the lights and screaming paparazzi, and let her scream and cry without comforting her. It's disgusting.

24. ben must've had a rip-roarin' time with the kid and the 2 human dial tones.

on behalf of the mentally challenged, i'm SO GLAD that no one is going to see his new movie.

ANOTHER STILLER FLOP.

25. #24, I saw his movie this weekend with a packed theatre and it was hilarious. I didn't think it was that offensive to autistic people. I just think that the type of people that are offended by that will be offended by anything. It also made fun of black people, war vets, jewish people, australians, and of the countries Laos and Burma. I laughed at all of the jokes along with everyone else and yet I don't have anything against any of those groups.

So before you criticize the movie, at least watch it first.

And I'm kind of a Tom Cruise hater..... but he was GREAT in the movie.

26. I have a question to anyone reading this: Why do we support any of these people with our hard earned money?? I stopped going to the movies when the price reached 9 bucks a ticket. Most of these movies are just crap and we can either see them on cable or rent for a buck with Redbox. If we hit them in the wallet maybe they would not think they are so "special" and act like a bunch of morons all the time. Just my opinion-------------I welcome yours.

27. this whole deal with Stiller and Tropic Thunder, give me a break!!!!
I remember when Americn Idol star Kelly Clarkson was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight and she said "Oh, that's so retarded" and also called someone else "Retarded". NO ONE JUMPED ALL OVER HER.
OH, CAUSE SHE'S AN AMERICAN IDOL SWEETHEART. WHO IS HER P-R AGENT?
So Ben Stiller, made a mistake on his movie. GET OVER IT ---

28. Honestly. Imagine having this little girl up and out at this time of the night. All these adults KNEW that all the paps would be there. Little Suri is TERRIFIED of all of that yelling and screaming and bulbs popping. They are BAD, NASTY and DOWNRIGHT SELFISH for doing that to that little girl. Why does the CPS only have to deal with we, the "hoi polloi" and not celebs. Really, this is very BAD parenting fro these two. Really bad. Wonder what the grandparents think when they see this circus!!
Just bloody appalling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

29. Hi By Betty: Per your above comment - I agree ...
Lately movies out of Hollywood have been less than stellar...
Not worth 9-Bucks at all.
I honestly have not seen a single movie since May 2008, "Sex in The City".
and that movie was all hype and nothing behind it. What a waste of money!
Classic, unforgettable movies are a thing of the past.
I agree - as consumers we should not attend movies that do not entertain us!
We are all struggling to make it with the economy. Why not let the stars of these poorly produced movies suffer as well. Let's not attend the movies and lets see how they will continue to support they're lavish life-styles!

30. I cant believe how Stiller and his "people" have gotten all of Television, Hollywood and the Print Press to come out and basically deflect all the controversy about his use of Retarded in this movie. Talk about rallying the troops for one of its own---no wonder there is no freedom left in Hollywood, its all liberal nonsense coming out of there. And per the earlier comments about Stiller on the Set, I too have heard, as a Director he's a little dictator. He better hope his own children are never born with any kind of handicap. But if they are, wonder if little hitler will still take such liberty with his humor.

Another funny man when the red light is on, and when its off,apparently hates humanity.
