But enough about Tropic Thunder.

You do know that there is a whole industry of people performing that schtick in hotel conference rooms all across America. Tom Cruise won't be there doing squats in his tighty whities, but the rest of it is all there.

definitely... but what an amazing scene. I first saw this before seeing the movie in my media studies class where my idiot teacher decided to spoil one of the most jarring scenes of any movie. I also like that this scene came from Paul T. Anderson completely running out of money on a film that he had no ending, and one day it donned on him "OH SHIT FROGS RAINING FROM THE SKY" and i think the scene only took around and extra half of the whole movie budget?

HOW DO PEOPLE WHO DONT EVEN HAVE COMPLETE IDEAS START MOVIES AND BEGIN FILMING THEM!?
